The first rule about Fight Club is ... we absolutely talk about fights and anger. In this episode, Mel and Jase talk about rage, anger, and the importance of fighting in a relationship. However, with great anger comes great responsibility. It's a fire that can burn and destroy, but also a fire that can create and provide.
When life gets busy, it can be a challenge to find the time for sex. We often plan our days around work, the gym, or time with friends and family... we get pulled in unexpected directions, and somehow sex gets pushed to another day. But, what if we scheduled sex? It may not sound wild, but you might be surprised! In this episode, Mel and Jase talk about the amazing benefits of scheduling sex including all-day foreplay, anticipation, creativity and deeper connection.
With Mel coming off a week of deep soul work in the desert, this episode was an opportunity for Mel to put Jase on the hot seat. They dive into Jase's journey, embracing the mystery, burning it down, finding your fire, and what this means for Jase, his family, and the greater community that he serves.

So often, orgasm becomes the end goal and focal point of intimacy. In this episode, Jase and Mel discuss the concept of holding or delaying this release of energy, riding the line of primal urge and restraint, and exploring the many benefits of their new take on this ancient practice - including incredibly deep connection and trust, carrying and focusing your life force energy through the next day, and the longing and unbelievable pleasure when you and your partner bring it back together.
Some people are great at telling you what they need. Some people have needs that they rarely express. In this episode of Wild Monogamy, Mel and Jase discuss the dynamics of truly understanding your individual needs, having a voice to announce those needs to your partner, and the dance, risk and beauty this brings to your relationship.
Let's talk about sex! Mel and Jase talk about how sex in your relationship is a barometer for both your individual mental and physical health, as well as the state of connection and polarity with your partner.
