Sex Upgraded

Why are so many men feeling lost when it comes to sex & dating? From porn, performance pressure, social isolation, fear of rejection, lack of good role models, a hyper-sexualized society and the lingering impacts of MeToo - modern men are facing a perfect storm of challenges that are very difficult to navigate - and are rarely talked about...

What if the sexual polarity practices meant to ignite your sex life are actually killing your connection? In today's episode we explore the shadow side of polarity work - and how you can move beyond it to build incredible charge in your relationship.

🔴 - You can also watch this episode in Youtube.

You'll hear about how Londin and her partner almost ruined their relationship by practicing masculine/feminine polarity... and you'll hear how they bring polarity in now - in new and healthy ways that help their relationship and sex lives truly thrive.

Also - if you're a man who likes women - we dive into what you can realistically expect from a women in conscious relationship, and why sacred sex starts with structure. It's a great episode, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. If you do, please share it with a friend. Let's spread the good word of relational intentionality! :)

In this episode: ✅ Why embodiment is the real key to sexual mastery, deep love, and trustworthy leadership. There's a reason most men aren't having the sex, impact, or depth of connection they truly want in life — and it's probably not what you think.

In this episode with John Wineland, we'll explore something far more powerful than any mainstream sex technique — something that's usually missing from most men’s lives: embodiment.

🔴🎥 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube.

WE EXPLORE:
✅ Why embodiment is the real key to sexual mastery, deep love, and trustworthy leadership
✅ How most men unconsciously sabotage their efforts at this
✅ The link between your nervous system's capacity and your ability to hold real power (emotional, sexual, and energetic)
✅ How to powerfully lead as a man — in life, in sex, and in service to the world (embodied leadership)
✅ Why in-person men's groups can be so transformational

Let's get into it!

Most men don’t realize what porn is actually costing them… until it’s already showing up in their sex life, motivation, or relationships. *(And, you're not alone, I struggled with this too). I highly recommend listening if you've EVER questioned your use of or relationship with porn...

🔴 🎥 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube here.

In today's episode, Jeremy (who is a full time Porn Addiction Recovery Coach for men) and I dive into:

✅ - How watching porn (even when it seems “normal”) can quietly drain your vitality, confidence, sexual performance and your connection to what really matters... 

✅ - How to help you identify whether or not you have a problematic and/or addictive relationship with porn...

✅ - What to do about it - how to stop watching porn (if you want to)

✅ - How to create a healthy and thriving life & sex life without porn

--------

You'll hear personal stories from both of us... (we were both addicted), you'll get new ways to think about sex and arousal, and you'll get practical tools you can start using today - to transform any behavior you want INTO a healthy choice that supports the life you want to live.

To be very clear: this conversation is NOT going to shame you or guilt trip you - it's here to help us men navigate one of the most alluring and destructive forces on the planet (porn). For that, we need awareness, compassion, discernment and strength.

Thanks for being here. Let's get into it!

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still not getting the sex, connection, or fulfillment you want ⚠️ - this conversation might blow something wide open for you.

🔴 🎥 - You can also watch this interview on Youtube.

In today’s episode, I interview Traver Boehm about the Nice Guy archetype — where it comes from, how it messes with your sex life, and what it really takes to reclaim your confidence, power, and desire as a man (and why WOMEN WANT THIS).

Traver doesn’t hold back. You'll hear raw personal stories, practical mindset shifts, and deep truths about what makes a man truly attractive — to women, to the world, and most importantly, to himself.

This is one of those episodes that might sting a little, especially if you see yourself in the patterns we’re talking about. But it’s also packed with insight, clarity, and actionable guidance that can help you start showing up with more honesty, sexual confidence, and grounded presence — starting now.

So many men get it wrong in the bedroom... Trying to be nice... Unsure of how to take the lead... And even ashamed of their own desire... If you've ever felt these ways, you’re not alone (and I have to regularly work on this too). In this episode, Layla Martin and I dive deep into how you can sexually unleash your primal masculine energy - in a way that’s bold, conscious, attuned, and deeply sexy.

🔴 🎥 You can also watch this episode on Youtube.

In this episode you'll discover why women crave a man’s powerful presence - one that combines focus, strength, desire, the ability to ravish with care... And you'll discover how to embody it in a way that transforms your sexual relationships and ignites desire.

You'll also learn a transformative practice Layla calls “fuck and kill to consciousness,” which will probably be really confronting for you - in a good way... It's an exercise to help you integrate your raw, primal instincts and channel them into connection, confidence, sexual pleasure and leadership in the bedroom.

This episode is your invitation to stop holding back, to own your power unapologetically, and show up as the man you’re truly capable of being — magnetic, present, powerful and unforgettable. Join us!
