This episode is my summary of a conversation I had in Spanish with a self-described "weirdo" living in Bogota, Colombia.

Highlights:

• A personal story of trauma and assault that absolutely stunned me
• A critique of feminism (that I've heard a lot in Latin America)
• Insights into women and men through the lens of someone living far outside what most Colombianos consider normal

What does it mean to embody your femininity? Is that even a question anyone should be asking?

A very fun conversation on an all-black panel (plus me). 

There are hot takes left and right. We discuss the fundamental nature of men and women. 

• Willy fought dinosaurs -- and then a lion after work
• I point out that men don’t have babies
• Yonci compares men to chairs, accurately
• “I don’t own a duck; I’m black, black”
• Heavy lifting on the part of the boys but we’re all in the same foxhole

There are things I probably should have edited out.

Most people haven’t been polyamorous for 20+ years. Or practicing tantra and spiritual sexuality. But Mark Casey has. He’s a sex coach and dude I carpooled with one time.

Discussed:

• Why masculine/feminine occur and how we get those “energies” confused with men/women
• How childhood experiences influence sexuality, and how this could allow greater intimacy in your life
• Finding eroticism outside of sexuality
• Mark’s book (Living Your Erotic Potential) just briefly

Listen now.
