In this podcast, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman, host of The Psychology Podcast, discusses the concept of self-actualization and its application to sexuality. He explains that self-actualization involves feeling fully alive, integrated, and connected to one's inner and outer worlds. When applied to sex, transcendent sex involves bringing one's whole self to the experience in a way that transcends the ego and focuses on the pleasure and connection with one's partner.
