Man Alive

When you integrate your heart into your sex life, not only does it go from what can feel like "fast food sex" to "gourmet sex," it also becomes connected, healing and transformative. Today's Man Alive podcast guest talks about bringing depth into sex and sensuality.

Though most of us start out with the deck stacked against us in how we are taught to mentally and emotionally approach life, we can unfuck our approach to life and set ourselves free to live healthier and happier.

We can unconsciously add stress to our lives with the stories we tell ourselves about our experiences. While this realization can be painful, it is also a doorway to incredible amounts of freedom and possibility. Today's podcast guest co-wrote a documentary film entitled: "Is Your Story Making You Sick?" We discussed the potential for relief from pain and stress.

The concept of masculine/feminine dynamics in relationships can be viewed through overly simplistic lenses. Today's guest goes deep into the nature of humanity to illuminate the benefits of both masculine and the feminine, and how balancing them can bring us together in healthier, more authentic ways.

Sadly, the average orgasm lasts between 10 and 51 seconds. You are not limited to this quick burst of pleasure though! You could orgasm for hours, and experience a heightened state of pleasure. Find out more as we talk about what orgasm actually is.

How does sex become great? In Shana's new book, Honest Sex, she counters the common misperception that we are outgrowing marriage and long term relationships by bringing an issue she has found with her clients and her own relationships -- many of us have not matured enough to create the emotionally-connected, sexually-satisfying relationships we long for. Honest sex is a pathway to deepen connection and keep relationships alive.

Intimacy can be scary, as it relies on being vulnerable. It can also be confusing if we don't know how to let down our guard or create the safety needed to reveal our tender parts. But without intimacy, relationships fade and spark fizzles. Zoë Kors has created a map to intimacy that any person can follow and everyone benefit from. Whether you are just discovering intimacy or want to go as deep as possible, this episode is for you.

Being honest about who you are is one of the foundations of a relationship that strengthens and deepens over time. The more you know yourself, the less likely you'll be to lose yourself, in an attempt to keep the peace or make someone else happy.
