  17. 0:45Well, I was 12 years into our marriage.
  18. 0:47We had a beautiful daughter, gorgeous
  19. 0:49home, but I never had an orgasm from
  20. 0:51intercourse.
  21. 0:52And we thought there was something wrong
  22. 0:54with me.

  58. 2:00much.
  59. 2:04Susan,
  60. 2:06what do you do, and why do you do it?
  61. 2:09Well,
  62. 2:10I teach passionate love-making
  63. 2:11techniques by publishing books and
  64. 2:14programs and audios.
  65. 2:16And uh I do it because my passion is
  66. 2:18passion.
  67. 2:19Uh I like to say that uh my brand of
  68. 2:23sexual education is heart-connected,
  69. 2:26conscious, passionate love-making.
  70. 2:31Which is very different than
  71. 2:32transactional sex or sex that looks like
  72. 2:35pornography.
  73. 2:36If If someone comes to you, and they
  74. 2:37say,
  75. 2:38"I'm struggling with my sex life in some
  76. 2:40way, or I'm not at my sexual potential,
  77. 2:42what can you do for me?" How would you
  78. 2:44answer that question?
  79. 2:45Well, I'd say, "Sex is such a vast
  80. 2:48landscape, and people enter into it from
  81. 2:50so many different directions, that
  82. 2:53often, when someone is saying that their
  83. 2:57sex life isn't as good as they want it
  84. 2:59to be, I have to ask them, what's it
  85. 3:01like?
  86. 3:03What do they want? What's the vision
  87. 3:05that they're holding for themselves?
  88. 3:07And often,
  89. 3:10I recently had a young woman come to me
  90. 3:12and say, "Um
  91. 3:15all my friends talk about sex being so
  92. 3:16great, but I haven't experienced that,
  93. 3:18and I wonder if I'm asexual,
  94. 3:21because it's just not that good for me.
  95. 3:23It just seems like it's so fast and
  96. 3:25hurried, and and I I don't know. I just
  97. 3:28I just don't I'm worried. Maybe
  98. 3:30something's wrong with me." That's what
  99. 3:32That's what women think a lot is they
  100. 3:33think there's something wrong with them.
  101. 3:36But remember, I I'm not a therapist, so
  102. 3:39I don't sit in a room
  103. 3:41with a client and unearth all of the
  104. 3:45issues that they have.
  105. 3:47What I do is I author passionate
  106. 3:49love-making techniques. I teach you how
  107. 3:52to have really good bedroom
  108. 3:53communication, how to know what you want
  109. 3:57and ask for it confidently,
  110. 4:00have your partner love for you to ask
  111. 4:03them for what you want, feel good about
  112. 4:06it, not like they did anything wrong.
  113. 4:09And then know a whole bunch of
  114. 4:12pleasuring techniques, how their bodies
  115. 4:14work, what what the possibilities are.
  116. 4:18Because
  117. 4:19if you're thinking about sexuality,
  118. 4:21because sex has been so censored,
  119. 4:25nobody even knows what's possible.
  120. 4:28If I say to someone, you know, there's
  121. 4:29over 20 kinds of orgasms that you can
  122. 4:31have,
  123. 4:32they'll be like, "What?" And especially
  124. 4:34men, they don't even they think there's
  125. 4:36one, maybe two.
  126. 4:38Uh where women are like, "There's 20?"
  127. 4:40They are at least aware that there's
  128. 4:42more than one or two, that they could
  129. 4:44have these different, you know, kinds of
  130. 4:45orgasms. And so once you understand
  131. 4:49the communication piece and you
  132. 4:51understand the pleasure piece, then you
  133. 4:53can understand what's possible. And then
  134. 4:55you can begin to try things.
  135. 4:57Okay, so you get an
  136. 4:59email into your inbox and it's from a
  137. 5:01woman.
  138. 5:02Yeah.
  139. 5:03If you had to bet what that question in
  140. 5:06that email was, and all you know that is
  141. 5:08that it's from
  142. 5:10a lady called Suzanne, what would your
  143. 5:12guess be?
  144. 5:13My libido is gone
  145. 5:15and
  146. 5:17um
  147. 5:18I feel really guilty. I feel really bad.
  148. 5:21I'm not interested in sex. Or
  149. 5:24I there's something wrong with me.
  150. 5:27I'm unhappy. I'm unfulfilled. I don't
  151. 5:30feel like what I'm doing is right.
  152. 5:32That's most common with women.
  153. 5:34And if the email came in from a guy
  154. 5:36called David,
  155. 5:37Mhm.
  156. 5:38what would you think he's before you
  157. 5:39click the email, what do you think he's
  158. 5:40asking you?
  159. 5:41Sexual biohacking, erectile dysfunction,
  160. 5:44penis enlargement, male enhancement, all
  161. 5:48of those kinds of things. Guys have a
  162. 5:50lot of men ask me about,
  163. 5:53"I think there's something wrong with my
  164. 5:54penis."
  165. 5:55So, that would be the number one thing
  166. 5:56that would be most likely to be in my
  167. 5:58inbox.
  168. 6:00But, the second thing would be
  169. 6:03something around either I have I have
  170. 6:06some shame around part of my desire,
  171. 6:10or I'm frustrated with my partner that
  172. 6:13I'm not having the kind of sex that I
  173. 6:14want, what do to fix it? So, fixing
  174. 6:18fixing things. People are writing for
  175. 6:20fixing things, whether whether it's men
  176. 6:22or women. That's That's what they reach
  177. 6:25out with are our problems.
  178. 6:27Quality and quantity, or one more than
  179. 6:29the other?
  180. 6:30I would say quality generally, more so
  181. 6:32than quantity. You can fix when you fix
  182. 6:34quality.
  183. 6:36Right? Quantity Quality comes before
  184. 6:38quantity.
  185. 6:39That's true.
  186. 6:40Yeah.
  187. 6:41You have a really atypical journey to
  188. 6:43becoming a sex expert. It's not
  189. 6:44something that you you'd studied when
  190. 6:46you're younger in college or something.
  191. 6:47It's not something that you were It's
  192. 6:49not sort of a an off branch to some
  193. 6:50psychology degree you were doing. You
  194. 6:53became a sex expert at what age?
  195. 6:5542 is when I went on my sexual expansion
  196. 6:59journey, and started my company shortly
  197. 7:02after that.
  198. 7:03Why sex? Why have in your early 40s did
  199. 7:06you decide to focus on sex when
  200. 7:08previously your career had been about
  201. 7:10many other things?
  202. 7:11Mhm.
  203. 7:12Did something happen?
  204. 7:13Yeah, it did. Right? I was married to
  205. 7:15Tim, my husband, Sir Tim. He's the
  206. 7:17prince among men. I've been with him for
  207. 7:1933 years now.
  208. 7:22And we were 12 years into our marriage.
  209. 7:24We were a very successful Silicon Valley
  210. 7:27company. My husband invented Rhapsody,
  211. 7:29the first like the the OG Spotify. So,
  212. 7:33we were both in high tech, having IPOs,
  213. 7:36doing incredibly well. We had a
  214. 7:38beautiful daughter. We had a gorgeous
  215. 7:39home overlooking the entire Silicon
  216. 7:43Valley. It was just incredible. But, we
  217. 7:47had become platonic. Not for my
  218. 7:50husband's lack of trying to have sex
  219. 7:52with me, but I just I don't know. I just
  220. 7:56I had sex with with him for a dozen
  221. 7:58years and I never had an orgasm from
  222. 8:00intercourse.
  223. 8:01I could have an orgasm from a vibrator,
  224. 8:03but I couldn't have one from
  225. 8:05intercourse.
  226. 8:06And I'd had some sexual trauma as a
  227. 8:08child as well, which
  228. 8:11Honestly, the majority of people have
  229. 8:13had sexual trauma, whether it's simple
  230. 8:16repression or actual physical abuse of
  231. 8:20some kind. So many of us have had
  232. 8:23trouble and not just women, men too.
  233. 8:25People across the spectrum have had
  234. 8:28you know, things happen to them.
  235. 8:30And
  236. 8:33I avoided him for sex.
  237. 8:35What did your sexual trauma teach you
  238. 8:36about sex?
  239. 8:39Well, it taught me
  240. 8:40that I am
  241. 8:43who I've always been inside myself and
  242. 8:46that no one can take away who I am and
  243. 8:48my power and my sovereignty.
  244. 8:51I've learned that one can move through
  245. 8:55and heal from trauma and that it takes
  246. 8:57both
  247. 8:58talk therapy and empathy from someone as
  248. 9:03well as somatic release, physical body
  249. 9:07release.
  250. 9:09And that often our greatest wound can
  251. 9:11become our greatest gift, which is what
  252. 9:14that trauma did for me.
  253. 9:17The trauma itself.
  254. 9:18Mhm.
  255. 9:19What did that
  256. 9:20traumatic experience convince you that
  257. 9:22sex was or wasn't?
  258. 9:24I always liked sex and I refused to let
  259. 9:26that trauma hurt my sex life, but the
  260. 9:29problem was that I ended up doing
  261. 9:31something called dissociating
  262. 9:33during intimacy.
  263. 9:35And so, if you
  264. 9:37kind of leave the scene emotionally and
  265. 9:39you're just there physically,
  266. 9:41you really don't get that thing, that
  267. 9:44heart connection. You don't find your
  268. 9:45humanity in your lover. You can't really
  269. 9:49touch source through your connection.
  270. 9:52Can you explain that to me,
  271. 9:53dissociation? Cuz I think
  272. 9:54Yeah.
  273. 9:55I've heard people tell me
  274. 9:57privately that that's the issue that
  275. 9:59they had in their sex life for many,
  276. 10:00many years where that they were
  277. 10:01basically disassociated from it. What is
  278. 10:03that?
  279. 10:04It's where you kind of uh you just check
  280. 10:06out. You just you're go you go through
  281. 10:08the motions physically, but you're not
  282. 10:10emotionally there.
  283. 10:13It's protection
  284. 10:15against being hurt again.
  285. 10:18So, once I learned that that's what I
  286. 10:20was doing, my husband would help me, Tim
  287. 10:22would help me come back to him, come
  288. 10:25back to him, come back to him.
  289. 10:27And then, we started going to sex
  290. 10:30workshops. We went beyond therapy and we
  291. 10:32started going to sex workshops.
  292. 10:34And we learned how to have sex. And by
  293. 10:37sex, I don't necessarily just mean
  294. 10:38intercourse.
  295. 10:40We We learned all kinds of things. We
  296. 10:42went to tantra workshops. We went to
  297. 10:43sex, love, and intimacy from the Human
  298. 10:45Awareness Institute. We did ecstatic
  299. 10:48loving. We did orgasmic meditation. We
  300. 10:50did all kinds of things.
  301. 10:52And it just
  302. 10:55lit our sex life on fire once we got
  303. 10:58some skills. We were the blind leading
  304. 11:00the blind. Everybody's the blind leading
  305. 11:02the blind. Everybody. We don't see any
  306. 11:06good examples of heart-connected
  307. 11:08passionate lovemaking. We don't see them
  308. 11:10in film, in the movies.
  309. 11:12We don't see them in pornography. All of
  310. 11:14that is
  311. 11:17male
  312. 11:18patriarchal, religiously repressed
  313. 11:22styles of sex, rather than
  314. 11:26female-focused,
  315. 11:28heart-connected,
  316. 11:30blissful,
  317. 11:31slow,
  318. 11:33pleasurable sex, highly orgasmic sex.
  319. 11:38So,
  320. 11:40I think what what happened for us was we
  321. 11:43had such good sex so easily once someone
  322. 11:45told us what to do that we said, "Oh,
  323. 11:48well, he's already you know,
  324. 11:50sending MP3s all over the internet and
  325. 11:53I'm already sending video all over the
  326. 11:55internet with cable modems. Why don't we
  327. 11:56bring all these courses online?" Because
  328. 11:59very few people are going to go to a sex
  329. 12:01workshop.
  330. 12:02Number one, it costs money. Number two,
  331. 12:04you have to be able to do it. Number
  332. 12:05three, it's scary.
  333. 12:07It's really scary to take off all your
  334. 12:08clothes and go to a sex workshop and do
  335. 12:11hands-on techniques in a room full of
  336. 12:12sweaty people, you know? There's a lot
  337. 12:14to it, right?
  338. 12:16And so we said, "Why don't we put this
  339. 12:18on the internet?" Cuz that's what we're
  340. 12:19good at. Let's put programs on the
  341. 12:21internet that people can
  342. 12:23access from anywhere in the world and
  343. 12:26learn how to make love together, learn
  344. 12:28orgasm techniques and communication
  345. 12:30skills and pleasuring, how the body
  346. 12:33works in ways that will take them to
  347. 12:35places they never even imagined were
  348. 12:37possible.
  349. 12:38Zooming in on that moment where you and
  350. 12:40Tim are struggling in the bedroom. How
  351. 12:41long had it been since you you'd had sex
  352. 12:44or how often were you having sex at that
  353. 12:45point?
  354. 12:46Well, it petered out over time. So, when
  355. 12:47we first met, we had great new
  356. 12:49relationship energy. We we were having
  357. 12:51sex, but it was it was the kind of sex
  358. 12:54that I would call these days
  359. 12:56grab a boob and stick it in.
  360. 12:59Very intercourse focused.
  361. 13:03A bit
  362. 13:03I know, exactly. Like
  363. 13:09And you know,
  364. 13:11I love intercourse.
  365. 13:15And I teach intercourse skills because
  366. 13:18what you see modeled is really
  367. 13:23Oh, man, it's like kindergarten what you
  368. 13:26see out in the market, out in the world.
  369. 13:29And so, how do you have this massively,
  370. 13:31exquisitely, orgasmically, mutually
  371. 13:34pleasurable
  372. 13:36intercourse?
  373. 13:38You just need to learn a couple things.
  374. 13:39That's the great thing about sex. It's
  375. 13:40like, have you ever heard that phrase, a
  376. 13:42little hinge that swings a big door?
  377. 13:46It's like It's like an example of
  378. 13:48leverage, right? One little hinge and a
  379. 13:50giant door and you're like,
  380. 13:51"How does that little hinge swing that
  381. 13:53giant door?"
  382. 13:54That's what sex actually is. If somebody
  383. 13:56tells you what to do, because I mean, my
  384. 13:58operating system and your operating
  385. 13:59system are like everybody's operating
  386. 14:01systems, right? We Our human body works
  387. 14:04the way the human body does. And so,
  388. 14:06women who are walking around going,
  389. 14:08"I'm broken and I can't have an orgasm
  390. 14:10from intercourse." And And her husband's
  391. 14:11like, "Well, I guess you can't, but
  392. 14:12we're still going to have intercourse
  393. 14:14anyway."
  394. 14:15I say to them, "Yes, you can. You just
  395. 14:18need to learn how. You just need to
  396. 14:19cross the gasm chasm, close that orgasm
  397. 14:22gap."
  398. 14:23And so, if I can get more people to
  399. 14:26understand that if something isn't good,
  400. 14:29that they just haven't had it good yet.
  401. 14:33That's
  402. 14:35I think one of the biggest messages I
  403. 14:36can give to your audience is,
  404. 14:39just keep learning. Keep learning new
  405. 14:41skills. But,
  406. 14:43don't miss all the other things. I'll
  407. 14:45give you an example of something in sex
  408. 14:46that really chaps my lips. And that is
  409. 14:51this idea that there's foreplay and sex.
  410. 14:55That comes right out of religious
  411. 14:57repression.
  412. 14:58Because sex is for procreation only, so
  413. 15:00the only thing matters is sex, and sex
  414. 15:02is intercourse.
  415. 15:03Heck, no. Sex is everything. Sex is a
  416. 15:06hot make-out. Sex is rubbing our bodies
  417. 15:09together. Sex is words of appreciation,
  418. 15:12adoration, encouragement. It's
  419. 15:15languorous kissing. It's stroking each
  420. 15:18other. It's
  421. 15:20oral pleasuring. It's intercourse. It's
  422. 15:23playing with toys. It's sex in new
  423. 15:26locations. It's
  424. 15:28you know, filming yourselves and
  425. 15:29watching it while you're holding each
  426. 15:31other later and going, "Oh, you know
  427. 15:33what the best moment for me was?" No,
  428. 15:35tell me. The best moment for me was XYZ
  429. 15:38and you're like, "Are you
  430. 15:40That was your best moment?" Yeah, what
  431. 15:42was your best moment? My best moment I
  432. 15:43mean, those are the things that make sex
  433. 15:46great, that make you want to have it
  434. 15:47again.
  435. 15:49In that moment when you and Tim hadn't
  436. 15:51have been having sex, so you sex had
  437. 15:52completely dried up.
  438. 15:53I really avoided him as much as I
  439. 15:55possibly could. I was giving him what I
  440. 15:56now call mercy sex.
  441. 16:00What is that mercy sex?
  442. 16:01Well, it's like, well, he's going to be
  443. 16:03a miserable man if I don't throw him a
  444. 16:06bone once in a while.
  445. 16:08And how often was once in a while?
  446. 16:10Oh god, like
  447. 16:12couple times a month at the worst.
  448. 16:15Yeah.
  449. 16:15Couple times a month at the worst, once
  450. 16:17every other week or
  451. 16:18Yeah, like every week or 10 days I'd be
  452. 16:20like, all right, I got to do it again.
  453. 16:22And how did you feel at the time about
  454. 16:24sex?
  455. 16:24guilty.
  456. 16:26And he was like, I wonder if I married a
  457. 16:27lesbian. Like he
  458. 16:29couldn't believe I didn't want to have
  459. 16:30sex.
  460. 16:31But at the start of the relationship you
  461. 16:33did or
  462. 16:34you were just kind of
  463. 16:34The problem is the new relationship
  464. 16:36energy wears off and when you have
  465. 16:37absolutely no skill,
  466. 16:39neither of you know what you're doing
  467. 16:40and it's not good for her, how long is
  468. 16:42she going to want to keep doing it?
  469. 16:44You know what's funny? I have one of the
  470. 16:46programs that I wrote really early on is
  471. 16:48a program called revive her drive. And
  472. 16:50it's a sneaky little name because guys
  473. 16:53will buy it and I say to them,
  474. 16:56"This program won't help you if sex has
  475. 16:58never been good. You need a therapist.
  476. 17:01But if sex used to be good and now it's
  477. 17:03not,
  478. 17:04you can fix it." And so they buy it
  479. 17:07thinking they're going to revive her
  480. 17:08drive. They're going to fix her.
  481. 17:10And when And then they're like, "Ooh,
  482. 17:11you sneaky little devil.
  483. 17:14You fixed me. It was me. I just was
  484. 17:17treating I was like trying to have sex
  485. 17:19with my wife
  486. 17:21like she's a dude. And now I understand
  487. 17:24what what what her body wants. And now I
  488. 17:26know what she needs for me. And and she
  489. 17:29loves sex now. So, that is very very
  490. 17:33common.
  491. 17:34But you had to fix your trauma as well
  492. 17:36in your situation.
  493. 17:38And how did you go about fixing that?
  494. 17:40I I did a number of things. Um the first
  495. 17:42thing that I did was I worked with a a
  496. 17:44sexual trauma therapist.
  497. 17:46Mhm.
  498. 17:46And
  499. 17:48I also worked with someone who does
  500. 17:51more of a a little bit of a different
  501. 17:53method called the circling method.
  502. 17:55And I uh also worked with some somatic
  503. 17:59therapists over the years.
  504. 18:01It was pretty quick for me. I'm very
  505. 18:04lucky.
  506. 18:05And and I don't want to I don't want to
  507. 18:08say that it's as easy for other people
  508. 18:10as it is for me. I'm a I'm a fast
  509. 18:13changer.
  510. 18:15I have a lot of behavioral flexibility
  511. 18:17and I'm very comfortable in discomfort.
  512. 18:21I'm very comfortable crossing a chasm,
  513. 18:23very comfortable in uncertainty.
  514. 18:26I think because I grew up in Silicon
  515. 18:28Valley, my career in my in the in my 20s
  516. 18:31and 30s was Silicon Valley and it's
  517. 18:32always changing. It's always like, you
  518. 18:34know, up, we're doing this now, you
  519. 18:36know, it's always a
  520. 18:37So,
  521. 18:39and also, a lot of people have trouble
  522. 18:42because of their
  523. 18:44genetic snips because they have
  524. 18:48serotonin pathways where when they've
  525. 18:50experienced trauma,
  526. 18:52every time they think about it, it feels
  527. 18:55like a raw wound.
  528. 18:58They can't get over it because every
  529. 19:00time they think about it, it's like it's
  530. 19:02a fresh cut.
  531. 19:04Not that's not me. So, I was able to
  532. 19:06move through things. And mostly what
  533. 19:09helped me
  534. 19:10was being able to say, I remember one of
  535. 19:12the one of the things I had to do was I
  536. 19:14had to write down every single sexual
  537. 19:19trauma, injustice,
  538. 19:21frustration, wound, hurt, pain that I'd
  539. 19:24ever experienced.
  540. 19:27And I thought, oh, this is really going
  541. 19:28to make me sick.
  542. 19:31And my therapist said, it won't.
  543. 19:34It won't. Don't worry. Just get it out.
  544. 19:37I want you to come back on our next
  545. 19:39appointment and I want you to
  546. 19:42tell me every single thing. I want to
  547. 19:44witness it. I want to know what you've
  548. 19:46been through. I want you to remember it
  549. 19:48all and we're going to put it behind
  550. 19:50you.
  551. 19:51And that was very, very helpful for me.
  552. 19:53Finally someone heard everything that I
  553. 19:56had gone through and all the things that
  554. 19:58had been done to me.
  555. 20:00And all the injustices that had happened
  556. 20:02to me.
  557. 20:03And it really helped me move through it.
  558. 20:05But not that's not the right therapy for
  559. 20:07any everyone.
  560. 20:09People need different types of therapy.
  561. 20:11And remember, I'm not a therapist. So
  562. 20:13what I do is I deal in the how do you
  563. 20:16have hot sex, not in the let me fix your
  564. 20:20problem. I had to fix my problems to
  565. 20:22learn about it. But once I did, I was
  566. 20:25like, tell I want to know all about how
  567. 20:27to have the best sex that keeps getting
  568. 20:29better. What does that take? And that's
  569. 20:32been my decades of study.
  570. 20:34How did you know you had a problem?
  571. 20:36And how did you know you had something
  572. 20:37that needed to be healed?
  573. 20:39And you and it wasn't just that, you
  574. 20:40know, Tim's a little bit I'm not just
  575. 20:42not attracted to Tim anymore or maybe I
  576. 20:44just don't like sex. How did you know
  577. 20:48how did you have the awareness to even
  578. 20:50go to a therapist?
  579. 20:54Because
  580. 20:57we thought there was something wrong
  581. 20:58with me.
  582. 21:00And so we went to a therapist.
  583. 21:03And she said, okay, well, tell me what
  584. 21:04what your sex is like. And I started
  585. 21:06telling her and she said, "Okay.
  586. 21:08Let's unwind this. Let's unpack this.
  587. 21:09Let's heal all of this."
  588. 21:11And how did you get to the point that
  589. 21:13you knew that the trauma was at the
  590. 21:14heart of many of these challenges?
  591. 21:17All she had to do was ask me what my sex
  592. 21:18life had been like and what I'd gone
  593. 21:20through, and I told her all the
  594. 21:21injustices and the horrible things that
  595. 21:23had happened to me, which are not
  596. 21:25unique. I The thing about me is that I'm
  597. 21:28pretty much just like everybody else.
  598. 21:30I'm not special in any way. The only
  599. 21:33thing that's special about me is that I
  600. 21:35have the courage to talk about things
  601. 21:36that a lot of people don't. They feel
  602. 21:38embarrassed. That's just my I don't
  603. 21:40know.
  604. 21:40When you say sexual injustice
  605. 21:42Mhm.
  606. 21:43and trauma
  607. 21:43Mhm.
  608. 21:44give me a give give me a menu of things
  609. 21:46that someone at home who's trying to
  610. 21:48understand if those things might have
  611. 21:49had an impact on their sex drive.
  612. 21:51Sure.
  613. 21:52It can be anything from
  614. 21:55um
  615. 21:56never knowing how your parts work or
  616. 21:59what the names of them are or
  617. 22:00understanding how your body works.
  618. 22:03It could be
  619. 22:05uh that you that sex is bad or uh
  620. 22:09shaming.
  621. 22:10It could be uh and this is something
  622. 22:13that many people struggle with.
  623. 22:15And that is
  624. 22:17my parents never told me about sex, and
  625. 22:20they never showed that they were sexual.
  626. 22:23I feel like I came from a very stoic
  627. 22:27uh repressed family, and it's impacted
  628. 22:30my sex life.
  629. 22:32And one of the things that I often have
  630. 22:34to say to people is, "Your mom and your
  631. 22:36dad did the best they could do.
  632. 22:39They didn't know anything. They were
  633. 22:41probably kids themselves.
  634. 22:43And they loved you. They just weren't
  635. 22:45equipped to help you with this. Not only
  636. 22:48that, but it's not really their job.
  637. 22:51Your sexuality and your sex life is your
  638. 22:54job.
  639. 22:55And when you take it on as something
  640. 22:57that's a part of what you have to learn,
  641. 22:59like the things you do for your career
  642. 23:01or the things that you do to support
  643. 23:03your family. And when you put it in that
  644. 23:05bucket, and you let go of the victim
  645. 23:08mindset, and the victim mentality, and
  646. 23:11you say, "Okay, what do I need to do?
  647. 23:13What is right? What is possible?" Then
  648. 23:16you get into the fun parts. You can move
  649. 23:18move through the trauma. So, it could be
  650. 23:20abuse, it could be repression, it could
  651. 23:22be shame, it could be lack of knowledge,
  652. 23:25which could lack of knowledge
  653. 23:27creates fear.
  654. 23:29Fear is the enemy of pleasure.
  655. 23:32So, once you start teaching people about
  656. 23:36their bodies, about pleasure, but we
  657. 23:38know that there's nature and there's
  658. 23:40nurture around sexuality, too. The
  659. 23:42nature is how my parts work versus your
  660. 23:45parts work. And I'd really like to talk
  661. 23:47to you about that, because I think
  662. 23:49that's one of those little hinges that
  663. 23:50swings big doors. Once you start to
  664. 23:51understand the difference between male
  665. 23:54and female arousal, you can begin to
  666. 23:56have much better sex together, because
  667. 23:59when you don't understand,
  668. 24:01you're doing
  669. 24:02You know, you know the golden rule, do
  670. 24:04unto others as you'd have them do unto
  671. 24:05you. That's what most people do in sex.
  672. 24:07They treat their partner the way they
  673. 24:09want to be treated, instead of treating
  674. 24:10their partner the way their partner
  675. 24:12needs to be treated. That's the platinum
  676. 24:14rule.
  677. 24:15So, I've just got two more questions on
  678. 24:16this point before we move on to some of
  679. 24:17these real specific things we've been
  680. 24:19hearing about. I read that Tim cheated
  681. 24:21on you at the time. He was having an
  682. 24:23affair.
  683. 24:23don't even like that word.
  684. 24:26Really?
  685. 24:26No, because I actually I remember when I
  686. 24:30found out that Tim was
  687. 24:31having a relationship with a woman who
  688. 24:34was also in a sexless marriage. And we
  689. 24:37were in what was basically a sexless
  690. 24:39marriage at the time.
  691. 24:40How did you find out?
  692. 24:42He told me.
  693. 24:43He came clean, and he told me. And I
  694. 24:46remember the shame.
  695. 24:49And I felt like it was my fault
  696. 24:53that I'd not been a good wife.
  697. 24:56When I look back at it,
  698. 24:59what I realized was that he was just
  699. 25:01trying to cope. He loved me.
  700. 25:05And he loved our family.
  701. 25:07And he he just wanted to feel pleasure
  702. 25:10and connection. And he wasn't getting
  703. 25:13that from me.
  704. 25:14And for some reason, it is just easier
  705. 25:17for women to give up their sexuality
  706. 25:19than for men generally.
  707. 25:21I want to say one thing about everything
  708. 25:23I'm going to say on your show, and that
  709. 25:25is that sex
  710. 25:27is a bell curve. There are people at one
  711. 25:30end of the spectrum and the other, but
  712. 25:32I'm almost always just talking to the
  713. 25:34big bell curve in the middle, the
  714. 25:36average dude and his lady. That's That's
  715. 25:40where my sweet spot is. So,
  716. 25:43when he when he was having that affair,
  717. 25:46all he was trying to do was stay in the
  718. 25:48marriage and not be miserable.
  719. 25:50And once I got right with that, and I
  720. 25:51realized he didn't do anything to me,
  721. 25:53and I didn't even look at it I don't
  722. 25:54even look at it as cheating. I literally
  723. 25:56look at it as that man was still trying
  724. 25:57to stay married to me. He loved me.
  725. 26:00And so, it was it was our mutual
  726. 26:02problem, which was a lack of knowledge.
  727. 26:04He didn't understand how my body worked.
  728. 26:06I didn't understand how my body worked.
  729. 26:08Once we learned that,
  730. 26:09we learned technique, and I was able to
  731. 26:11stay present and connected with him and
  732. 26:15not leave my body in worry that
  733. 26:18something bad was going to happen. When
  734. 26:20it started to be pleasurable instead of
  735. 26:22me just servicing my husband.
  736. 26:25Did you separate when he told you that,
  737. 26:27or did you stay together?
  738. 26:28Well,
  739. 26:29there was a moment where in the
  740. 26:31beginning,
  741. 26:33when he told me that he was seeing
  742. 26:34someone else,
  743. 26:36I thought maybe it's best that we stop
  744. 26:38being together.
  745. 26:40And I remember that he had packed up his
  746. 26:42things, and he was driving out of our
  747. 26:45house, and I was standing at the doorway
  748. 26:48of my big, beautiful Silicon Valley
  749. 26:50mansion
  750. 26:51in the height of career
  751. 26:53my little daughter our little daughter
  752. 26:55was standing there 6 years old and she
  753. 26:57had this little blanky that she loved.
  754. 26:59You know how kids love their blankies
  755. 27:01and she had it had this little soft
  756. 27:03satin border on it and she would rub it
  757. 27:05on her lip to kind of soothe herself and
  758. 27:07she was holding my hand and she was
  759. 27:09rubbing that blanket on her lip and
  760. 27:11daddy drove around to the side to the
  761. 27:13front of the house and he stopped and he
  762. 27:16was looking out the window and he was
  763. 27:17waving goodbye and she said
  764. 27:20but it gets me every time I do every
  765. 27:23time I even think about this moment in
  766. 27:25my life. She's like
  767. 27:28but
  768. 27:29will you still be my daddy?
  769. 27:32And I was like
  770. 27:34oh what am I doing?
  771. 27:37I love this guy. How did we get here? I
  772. 27:40can't ruin her. I can't I could never do
  773. 27:43better than Sir Tim. I could never do
  774. 27:46better than him. He's
  775. 27:48an amazing human being. My God. Steven,
  776. 27:51he's been the wind beneath my wings for
  777. 27:54more than half my life. I've known him
  778. 27:57for longer than I haven't now.
  779. 27:59He's the solid, you know,
  780. 28:03person I sit on top of that get allows
  781. 28:07me to be out here in the world giving
  782. 28:09people hope and instructions
  783. 28:11on how to have what I have which is
  784. 28:14amazing.
  785. 28:15And so when I when she said that I said
  786. 28:20turn around, come back. We got to fix
  787. 28:22it. And I had seen all of our friends
  788. 28:24were getting divorced and it wasn't
  789. 28:25money cuz we were all making money. It
  790. 28:27was Silicon Valley in the dot com era.
  791. 28:30And uh
  792. 28:33so he came back. We said what are we
  793. 28:35going to do about it? And we started
  794. 28:37therapy and then we started going to sex
  795. 28:39workshops and within I mean months it
  796. 28:42sorted itself out and we started having
  797. 28:44great sex.
  798. 28:46Did your sex life change
  799. 28:49in terms of the dynamics of it? Are you
  800. 28:51in a monogamous relationship?
  801. 28:53We were in a monogamous relationship for
  802. 28:55many years,
  803. 28:57but we opened our relationship when we
  804. 29:01got really good in bed together. We were
  805. 29:02like, "Hey, this is so much fun. Let's
  806. 29:04have some sex with some other people."
  807. 29:07And so we did.
  808. 29:10And it was not without its challenges.
  809. 29:12It's never without its challenges when
  810. 29:14you you know, when you go beyond the
  811. 29:17scope of monogamy, but um
  812. 29:20I don't regret any of it, even the bad
  813. 29:21parts.
  814. 29:22And what is that called? Cuz there's all
  815. 29:24these names for different relationship
  816. 29:25dynamics. Do you have a name for it?
  817. 29:27Well, the if you think about it as a
  818. 29:29tree,
  819. 29:30Yeah.
  820. 29:30there's it's non-monogamy is the tree
  821. 29:33and it could be called ethical
  822. 29:34non-monogamy or consensual non-monogamy.
  823. 29:36There's there's polyamory, there's open
  824. 29:39relationships, there's lifestyles and
  825. 29:41swingers and the pineapple people.
  826. 29:43There's you know, all kinds of things.
  827. 29:45And then there's my latest favorite
  828. 29:47flavor, which is a kind of a new flavor.
  829. 29:49And that is because I've I've been in an
  830. 29:51open relationship with my husband for
  831. 29:52over two decades now. So, for 20 years,
  832. 29:5520 out of 33 years. We've been open
  833. 29:57longer than we've been closed. And we
  834. 30:00were shepherded by people who are now in
  835. 30:04their 70s and 80s who are still in their
  836. 30:06open relationships and they taught us a
  837. 30:08lot about what to do to keep ourselves
  838. 30:10safe, both physically and emotionally,
  839. 30:13which is something interesting.
  840. 30:16And
  841. 30:18the one that I'm enjoying right now is
  842. 30:19relationship anarchy.
  843. 30:22That's what you call it?
  844. 30:23Well, that's what people call. Some some
  845. 30:24people call it that. And I and that's
  846. 30:27one of the That's one of the branches on
  847. 30:28the tree of non-monogamy.
  848. 30:31And the thing that I want to say about
  849. 30:32non-monogamy, whatever flavor you like,
  850. 30:35is that
  851. 30:37two things. Number one, I'm not
  852. 30:40here to tell anyone that what I do is
  853. 30:42better than what they do. I am not a
  854. 30:45polyamorous proponent or any of those
  855. 30:47things. It's just what I do. But Steve,
  856. 30:50I mean, I'm a sexpert.
  857. 30:52I'm I stand up here telling you that I
  858. 30:56can teach you how to be better in bed
  859. 30:58than you are.
  860. 30:59If I only had one partner,
  861. 31:02how much could I know? Every single
  862. 31:05partner I've ever had,
  863. 31:07I've had them safely using safe sex
  864. 31:10techniques, which I'd love to explain to
  865. 31:12you, and I've had so many incredible
  866. 31:17experiences.
  867. 31:19Who initiates that conversation in your
  868. 31:22relationship? Cuz I think this is the
  869. 31:24first challenge in most relationships is
  870. 31:26figuring out like how do you go about
  871. 31:27having that conversation with someone
  872. 31:29without them biting your head off
  873. 31:30potentially?
  874. 31:31Well, here's an interesting thing. One
  875. 31:32of the things that really helped us save
  876. 31:35our marriage at the time that we went to
  877. 31:37the therapists and we went to the sex
  878. 31:40workshops. We did another thing.
  879. 31:43We did uh
  880. 31:46one of our friends um uh
  881. 31:49was a coach for Brad Blanton and he
  882. 31:51wrote a book called Radical Honesty.
  883. 31:54And we said, Tim and I said, "Look, we
  884. 31:56just have to be totally honest with each
  885. 31:58other. We've been pussyfooting,
  886. 32:00sugarcoating, withholding, you know, for
  887. 32:0312 years now, 14 years. We've got to be
  888. 32:07honest if we're going to save our
  889. 32:08marriage." And so we started the
  890. 32:10practice of telling the truth. Because
  891. 32:13my god, when you start actually trying
  892. 32:16to tell the truth, you realize how
  893. 32:18societally im- embedded
  894. 32:22not telling the truth is.
  895. 32:24What was the most painful truth he told
  896. 32:25you?
  897. 32:30Mm-mm. Maybe just
  898. 32:33the one that he that he was
  899. 32:35with someone else. Might have been the
  900. 32:37worst one and I felt so much shame about
  901. 32:39that, like I'd done something wrong. But
  902. 32:41nothing, it turns out. The truth is
  903. 32:43juicy, exciting,
  904. 32:46interesting.
  905. 32:47Offensive?
  906. 32:48No.
  907. 32:48No?
  908. 32:49No, because if it's said with love, if
  909. 32:52thing if honest honesty doesn't have to
  910. 32:54be mean. Honesty is just
  911. 32:57your truth, your boundaries, your
  912. 32:59desires, your your foibles, your you
  913. 33:03know.
  914. 33:03the most offensive tr- like someone
  915. 33:06someone turns to
  916. 33:07my partner turns to me and goes,
  917. 33:09"Listen, you you are out of shape and
  918. 33:11I'm just not feeling it."
  919. 33:12Yeah.
  920. 33:13Well, why wouldn't your partner turn to
  921. 33:14you and say First of all, you're not,
  922. 33:15you're absolutely gorgeous,
  923. 33:17you.
  924. 33:17but if in fact you feel like your
  925. 33:20partner is is not taking care of
  926. 33:22themselves,
  927. 33:23um it would be more
  928. 33:25kind to say, "I'm worried about your
  929. 33:28health.
  930. 33:29I don't think you're taking care of
  931. 33:31yourself well enough and I love you and
  932. 33:33I want you to do a better job. How can I
  933. 33:35support you?"
  934. 33:36You know what? You can love me more
  935. 33:39fully if you know exactly who I am and
  936. 33:42where my boundaries and edges are
  937. 33:44and and you get to honor and respect
  938. 33:46those, then you know you're loving me
  939. 33:49exactly the way I want you to love me.
  940. 33:52Or I can decide I don't love you, I
  941. 33:53guess.
  942. 33:53Yeah, you could decide you don't love
  943. 33:55me.
  944. 33:56Yeah, that's okay. Hey, I'm not for
  945. 33:58everyone.
  946. 33:59And I'm okay with that, too.
  947. 34:02So, how did you come to be polyamorous?
  948. 34:05Polyamorous, right. Um well, we started
  949. 34:08to have experiences with people.
  950. 34:12Was it your idea or his idea?
  951. 34:14It was our mutual idea because we had
  952. 34:16gone to workshops where we had
  953. 34:19experienced light
  954. 34:21with groups of people, like I remember
  955. 34:23one time I was at a workshop and there
  956. 34:25were four of us paired together and Tim
  957. 34:27was in a different group and we were
  958. 34:29doing like sensation play where one
  959. 34:32person would
  960. 34:34lie down and receive sensation, and the
  961. 34:36other three people would give it to
  962. 34:38them.
  963. 34:38And at the same time that they were
  964. 34:40giving them sensation, like oh, rubbing
  965. 34:42your feet, playing with your boobs, you
  966. 34:44know, whatever, kissing or stroking your
  967. 34:46hair, whatever, and then they would also
  968. 34:49give you an angel shower. They would
  969. 34:51tell all at the same time, they would
  970. 34:54tell you things they loved about you.
  971. 34:57Things that they thought were really
  972. 34:58attractive about you, or things that
  973. 34:59they noticed about you. And when you get
  974. 35:02an angel shower from a group of people,
  975. 35:06you
  976. 35:07you can't negate it. It goes in because
  977. 35:09there's so much kindness coming at you
  978. 35:13that you're defenseless against it, and
  979. 35:16so you kind of take it in instead of
  980. 35:18going, oh no, no, that's not true,
  981. 35:19that's not true. That's what people are
  982. 35:20taught to do. It's like one of my
  983. 35:22favorite games that I like to teach
  984. 35:24people is a game called three things I
  985. 35:26love about you.
  986. 35:28And Tim and I have been playing it for
  987. 35:30decades now.
  988. 35:32And whenever I want, I say to him, can
  989. 35:34you tell me three things that you love
  990. 35:35about me?
  991. 35:36And I particularly like it when we start
  992. 35:38our love making dates, because I notice
  993. 35:40that I I really need that reassurance
  994. 35:44that I'm loved and appreciated. And so
  995. 35:47I'll want him to tell me three things
  996. 35:49that he loves about me, and we have this
  997. 35:50little the little part of our game is
  998. 35:52never say the same thing twice. So for
  999. 35:55decades, we've been telling each other
  1000. 35:57what we love about each other and not
  1001. 35:59repeating things.
  1002. 36:02And when you really start to get good at
  1003. 36:04offering up love
  1004. 36:07and noticing what you love about
  1005. 36:10someone,
  1006. 36:11um
  1007. 36:13you just you're in love more. You're
  1008. 36:15just in love with people more. You're in
  1009. 36:17love instead of in judgment.
  1010. 36:20We reached out to some of our audience
  1011. 36:21ahead of this conversation, and we asked
  1012. 36:23them
  1013. 36:24to send us their questions.
  1014. 36:26Okay.
  1015. 36:27And then my team
  1016. 36:28Mhm.
  1017. 36:28sat down with some of these individuals.
  1018. 36:30We masked them through using some
  1019. 36:32actors. Um and got them to say
  1020. 36:36we got them to talk about some of the
  1021. 36:37problems they have in their lives. This
  1022. 36:39is the first time we've ever done this.
  1023. 36:40So, I wanted to play to you some of the
  1024. 36:43challenges that they have. Especially,
  1025. 36:45I'm going to play one that kind of
  1026. 36:46overlaps with the experience you went
  1027. 36:48through with Tim.
  1028. 36:49Yeah.
  1029. 36:50My name is Eliza. I
  1030. 36:53um I'm in my 40s. I'm a mother of two
  1031. 36:56lovely little girls.
  1032. 36:58And that big question I have is how
  1033. 37:03can I find
  1034. 37:06that intimacy again
  1035. 37:09with someone that has
  1036. 37:11just been
  1037. 37:14so disconnected.
  1038. 37:17So, is she saying that her partner is
  1039. 37:19disconnected? And she wants to find her
  1040. 37:21way back to intimacy with her partner?
  1041. 37:23I'm going to play you a few more from
  1042. 37:24Eliza.
  1043. 37:25Because I think this will help sort of
  1044. 37:27uh
  1045. 37:28fill the jigsaw puzzle a little bit. Um
  1046. 37:31there's another one here.
  1047. 37:35Work.
  1048. 37:36Um
  1049. 37:37doctors' appointments.
  1050. 37:40And yeah, we get very little time
  1051. 37:42together, the two of us. And I think
  1052. 37:43it's really easy to
  1053. 37:47just
  1054. 37:51pass like ships in the night.
  1055. 37:53And it'd be nice to have a conversation
  1056. 37:55that wasn't about
  1057. 37:56what's for dinner or
  1058. 38:01you know, what
  1059. 38:03the kids have going on the next day.
  1060. 38:07I really miss having
  1061. 38:10real conversations. I don't remember the
  1062. 38:13last time
  1063. 38:14we had one.
  1064. 38:16Is that a familiar situation?
  1065. 38:18Yeah. Especially during the time of
  1066. 38:21children raising.
  1067. 38:23Um
  1068. 38:25you think about your sexuality in eras.
  1069. 38:28Generally, your your 20s, you don't know
  1070. 38:31nothing from nothing and it's all new
  1071. 38:33and exciting and you know, you're just
  1072. 38:35finding out what it's like and
  1073. 38:38experimenting. In your 30s, you're if
  1074. 38:41you're going to have your children,
  1075. 38:42that's typically when most people are
  1076. 38:44having them now.
  1077. 38:46And
  1078. 38:47um you know, all of a sudden you have no
  1079. 38:49sleep, you're exhausted, those kids are
  1080. 38:51just like
  1081. 38:53draining you and you can barely keep up
  1082. 38:55and your relationship
  1083. 38:57head south, your sexual relationship
  1084. 39:00head south. Um by the time you're in
  1085. 39:02your 40s, you're like, wait a minute.
  1086. 39:05I've got to fight for my sex life now. I
  1087. 39:07mean like I can't let it go. You begin
  1088. 39:10to realize that you've missed a lot and
  1089. 39:13you want more.
  1090. 39:15In your
  1091. 39:1650s, you think to yourself, oh, I better
  1092. 39:19get it now cuz I'm going to get old die.
  1093. 39:21And your 60s, you go, oh,
  1094. 39:23I'm still I'm still alive and I did get
  1095. 39:25some good sex and I it is really good
  1096. 39:27and I'm looking forward to my 70s and my
  1097. 39:2980s, too, you know? And so
  1098. 39:32if you keep your body in good shape.
  1099. 39:35I mean, that's quite a pertinent point
  1100. 39:37because one of the things Eliza said
  1101. 39:39Yeah.
  1102. 39:40is this.
  1103. 39:41I think one thing that I wasn't prepared
  1104. 39:43for
  1105. 39:44at all was
  1106. 39:46how much my body was going to change.
  1107. 39:51I mean, everything
  1108. 39:54changed. Like my
  1109. 39:58I it got to the point where I
  1110. 40:02didn't recognize I don't recognize my
  1111. 40:05own
  1112. 40:06body anymore. I don't feel comfortable.
  1113. 40:10My body doesn't feel like it's mine.
  1114. 40:15And I've
  1115. 40:17really fallen out of love with
  1116. 40:22me
  1117. 40:23and with my body.
  1118. 40:24Estrogen is a molecule, a hormone of
  1119. 40:28protection.
  1120. 40:29Because women are prey and men are
  1121. 40:31predators in the general scheme of
  1122. 40:32things, we have to be very, very
  1123. 40:34careful. And so estrogen
  1124. 40:36protects us in many, many ways. And one
  1125. 40:39of the ways that it does is it makes us
  1126. 40:40judgmental, makes us judgy. And one of
  1127. 40:43the ways that spills over is that we
  1128. 40:44become judgy about ourselves and we
  1129. 40:46become very judgy about our bodies. We
  1130. 40:48have body image issues that we fight
  1131. 40:51against.
  1132. 40:52And
  1133. 40:54she's
  1134. 40:55she's Eliza is probably
  1135. 40:57beautiful, but she doesn't think she is.
  1136. 41:00She thinks that she doesn't look good
  1137. 41:01anymore and then she thinks that makes
  1138. 41:03her less desirable.
  1139. 41:05Her husband likely is working very hard
  1140. 41:08and kind of has thrown himself into work
  1141. 41:10and he's probably in overwhelm as well
  1142. 41:13trying to do all of this and he feels
  1143. 41:14disconnected from her. And so he's
  1144. 41:16probably feeling pretty lost and he
  1145. 41:18doesn't know how to get back to her
  1146. 41:19either. He doesn't have the skills to do
  1147. 41:21that.
  1148. 41:22And
  1149. 41:24one of the things that I often say to
  1150. 41:27women especially is that sex is a
  1151. 41:28mindfulness practice.
  1152. 41:30You just have to keep bringing yourself
  1153. 41:33back to connection
  1154. 41:35to your heart.
  1155. 41:37You have to
  1156. 41:39bring yourself back to your husband.
  1157. 41:41Nobody cares what your body looks like.
  1158. 41:44It's a It's your It's your cell bag. You
  1159. 41:46got 72 trillion cells. There they are.
  1160. 41:49Take good care of them. You got only so
  1161. 41:51much time. Enjoy your life. When you're
  1162. 41:54stressed and you're producing cortisol
  1163. 41:56and adrenaline and you're exhausted,
  1164. 41:59this is when you need to say, "Oh, I
  1165. 42:01really need to have some good orgasms. I
  1166. 42:03really need to be held by my husband."
  1167. 42:06On these body image issues, is it
  1168. 42:08usually
  1169. 42:09the person saying
  1170. 42:11they're unhappy with their own body or
  1171. 42:12is it the partner saying they're unhappy
  1172. 42:15with their partner's body?
  1173. 42:16It's almost always the woman saying she
  1174. 42:18doesn't think she looks good. And I
  1175. 42:20would say the large majority of the
  1176. 42:22partners say
  1177. 42:24she looks great to me. I picked her cuz
  1178. 42:26I like the way she looks. She still
  1179. 42:27looks good to me.
  1180. 42:28Is it ever the guy saying he doesn't
  1181. 42:29like how he looks?
  1182. 42:31Not that often.
  1183. 42:33Because testosterone has rose-colored
  1184. 42:36lenses.
  1185. 42:37Testosterone makes you the warrior, the
  1186. 42:41single-minded focus. You know how if a
  1187. 42:43guy is doing something, you can't
  1188. 42:45interrupt him with another thing cuz
  1189. 42:47he's on the task, and women are
  1190. 42:49multitaskers, their eyes and their eyes
  1191. 42:51and ears are on everything? That's the
  1192. 42:53difference between testosterone and
  1193. 42:54estrogen. And so he thinks he looks
  1194. 42:57better than he does, and she thinks she
  1195. 42:59looks worse than she does.
  1196. 43:01If they now feel like two ships passing
  1197. 43:03in the night as Eliza said in that
  1198. 43:05video,
  1199. 43:05Yeah.
  1200. 43:06what is step one?
  1201. 43:08Yeah. Step one is often just holding
  1202. 43:12each other. One of the techniques there
  1203. 43:14I have these two techniques that come
  1204. 43:16from one of my books. One of my most
  1205. 43:18popular books is a book called um
  1206. 43:20Sexual Soulmates.
  1207. 43:22Because Sexual Soulmates are not out
  1208. 43:25there
  1209. 43:27waiting for you. You co-create
  1210. 43:30your connection with your partner. And
  1211. 43:32even if you've lost that connection, you
  1212. 43:34can have many renaissance in your
  1213. 43:36relationship throughout the years. You
  1214. 43:38can come back together and it can be
  1215. 43:40better than ever again.
  1216. 43:42And
  1217. 43:43there are two techniques out of that
  1218. 43:45book that I think are kind of like a
  1219. 43:46foundation. One of them is called the
  1220. 43:48Sexual Soulmate Pact, and that pact is
  1221. 43:50an agreement between partners
  1222. 43:52where I can say anything I want to you,
  1223. 43:55and you're going to be happy I told you,
  1224. 43:57and you're not going to take it as
  1225. 43:58criticism or you did anything wrong.
  1226. 44:01You're going to be hungry for me to tell
  1227. 44:04you what I have an appetite for, what I
  1228. 44:06want, how I'm feeling. Am I a kitty cat?
  1229. 44:10Do you need to hold me in your arms? Do
  1230. 44:12you need to pet me? Do you need to let
  1231. 44:14me release and calm down and get some
  1232. 44:17things off my chest? Do you just need to
  1233. 44:19provide that holding?
  1234. 44:23Or am I a lioness? Do I want you to
  1235. 44:27ravish me? Do I want to be pounced on?
  1236. 44:29Do you I want you to carry me to the
  1237. 44:31bedroom and throw me down on the bed and
  1238. 44:34rip my clothes off and tell me how
  1239. 44:36gorgeous I am and eat me up.
  1240. 44:38We want those things in that range all
  1241. 44:41the time. But what couples forget is to
  1242. 44:44start with holding and being held.
  1243. 44:47Because when we do that, we generate
  1244. 44:49oxytocin. And the oxytocin is kind of
  1245. 44:52like the antidote
  1246. 44:54to all the cortisol we're pumping out
  1247. 44:56constantly with the kids and the school
  1248. 44:58and the stress and the job and the
  1249. 45:01politics and the you know, every all
  1250. 45:03this crazy stuff. We need to be held and
  1251. 45:07to hold.
  1252. 45:08So step one then is have the
  1253. 45:10conversation and step two is to
  1254. 45:14just hold essentially. Hold each other.
  1255. 45:16You don't even need to have a
  1256. 45:17conversation. You can just go crawl into
  1257. 45:19your partner's arms and say And this is
  1258. 45:20something that I love to teach men. I
  1259. 45:22love to teach men how to run a woman a
  1260. 45:25menu of small offers.
  1261. 45:28So the problem is that they're both
  1262. 45:30feeling Eliza and her husband are likely
  1263. 45:32both they're dissatisfied they feel
  1264. 45:34disconnected.
  1265. 45:35They're not speaking about it.
  1266. 45:36They're not speaking about it and
  1267. 45:39she feels like we should be having sex
  1268. 45:42but we're not. Right? It's the should I
  1269. 45:44should be having sex and what is sex?
  1270. 45:46Intercourse.
  1271. 45:48Well, she's not turned on. She hasn't
  1272. 45:50had sex in God knows how long. She's not
  1273. 45:52ready to be penetrated.
  1274. 45:55She needs to get warmed up. You know,
  1275. 45:57it's very very slow the female arousal
  1276. 46:00system.
  1277. 46:02And it takes 15, 20, 30 minutes when
  1278. 46:05it's been a long time between lovemaking
  1279. 46:08sessions to get out of your head, into
  1280. 46:11your body, calmed down. Because arousal,
  1281. 46:15it's not I'm going to push your buttons
  1282. 46:17and I'm going to spin your dials, which
  1283. 46:19is what guys try to do. They're like,
  1284. 46:21"I've got a goal. I got to give her an
  1285. 46:22orgasm. Let's go. I'm full speed ahead."
  1286. 46:25Where in reality it's, "Oh, I need to
  1287. 46:27hold her. I need to grab her up in my
  1288. 46:29big muscular arms and I need to just let
  1289. 46:32her calm down and
  1290. 46:35relax.
  1291. 46:37Remember what she loved about you
  1292. 46:40and how much she loves you and how how
  1293. 46:42good you smell and how good you feel and
  1294. 46:45how safe she feels right in this moment.
  1295. 46:47You used the word should.
  1296. 46:49Should is such a
  1297. 46:50What did I say?
  1298. 46:51corrosive. When you were saying, "We
  1299. 46:53should be having"
  1300. 46:54Right.
  1301. 46:55How often how much harm do you think
  1302. 46:57should does? As in when I say should, I
  1303. 46:59really mean it's a social comparison.
  1304. 47:01It's like an external comparison. I've
  1305. 47:03watched this movie, I spoke to my
  1306. 47:04friend, they're doing it this often,
  1307. 47:06they're doing it like this, so we should
  1308. 47:08be doing it like them.
  1309. 47:10Mhm.
  1310. 47:10How much harm do you think that does?
  1311. 47:12I've seen it in all my relationships.
  1312. 47:13I've seen
  1313. 47:14Guilt, guilt, guilt.
  1314. 47:15Yeah, like the comparison to other
  1315. 47:17people who are just not you
  1316. 47:19it can do so much harm and
  1317. 47:21I I think in my current relationship,
  1318. 47:22we've basically banned comparison. So
  1319. 47:24we've banned each other speaking about
  1320. 47:26our unmet needs through the lens of
  1321. 47:28other people or our past relationships.
  1322. 47:31And I think it really helps.
  1323. 47:33You know?
  1324. 47:33I do, too.
  1325. 47:34I think that if Eliza stopped
  1326. 47:37feeling guilty and said, "Okay, I just
  1327. 47:41I'm just going to start small." And if
  1328. 47:43her husband if she said to her husband,
  1329. 47:46"I just want to start small again. I
  1330. 47:48just want to Let's crawl and then walk
  1331. 47:50and then run back to lovemaking when we
  1332. 47:53can. Let's acknowledge that we're in the
  1333. 47:55time of our relationship when the kids
  1334. 47:58make it really hard. Let's acknowledge
  1335. 48:01that we want to have more intimacy
  1336. 48:02together.
  1337. 48:04And let's start with small offers. And
  1338. 48:07then if he starts saying to her,
  1339. 48:10"How about Thursday night,
  1340. 48:12I bring home some Chinese. We get the
  1341. 48:14kids in the bath. We get them in bed. We
  1342. 48:16divide and conquer. We put them down.
  1343. 48:18I'll go in, take a quick shower. I'll
  1344. 48:21set up the bedroom. I'll set up the
  1345. 48:22nest. I'll light a candle. I'll lay out
  1346. 48:24some fresh towels. I'll get your
  1347. 48:25favorite lube. I'll put on the sexy
  1348. 48:28playlist that you like. And all I want
  1349. 48:31you to do is relax. There's no pressure
  1350. 48:35to do anything. I won't be mad if we
  1351. 48:39don't have intercourse. What I'm going
  1352. 48:41to do is I'm going to hold you. I'm
  1353. 48:42going to get my hands on you. I'm going
  1354. 48:44to rub whatever hurts. I'm going to tell
  1355. 48:46you how much I love you. I'm going to
  1356. 48:47snuggle you. I might kiss you if you
  1357. 48:50want to kiss me. We'll see how it goes.
  1358. 48:52No pressure."
  1359. 48:53Why?
  1360. 48:54Why no pressure?
  1361. 48:55Because if she has pressure, then she's
  1362. 48:58going to feel stressed. And if she feels
  1363. 49:02stressed, she can't get into arousal. As
  1364. 49:05soon as you take the pressure off,
  1365. 49:08and let her just see what happens,
  1366. 49:12then her body will go into arousal and
  1367. 49:16connection and feel safe and relaxed,
  1368. 49:19and she'll start to let down and get
  1369. 49:22that turn on going.
  1370. 49:24I guess the starting point then, as you
  1371. 49:25said, is the communication part, right?
  1372. 49:28Because that you can't even get to that
  1373. 49:30point if you're in a situation. I've
  1374. 49:31been in that situation once in my sexual
  1375. 49:34history where
  1376. 49:35it was so awkward that
  1377. 49:38like it just gets the awkwardness just
  1378. 49:40compounds, where you're not even
  1379. 49:41speaking about something.
  1380. 49:42Yeah.
  1381. 49:43And so you're getting in bed. You're
  1382. 49:44both just kind of out.
  1383. 49:45Laying in silence and oh my god, he's
  1384. 49:47thinking about it, and I'm thinking
  1385. 49:48about it.
  1386. 49:49Right. I hope he doesn't remember.
  1387. 49:50about it, and I hope he doesn't ask me,
  1388. 49:51and I'll pretend to sleep and all of
  1389. 49:53that stuff. I've been there.
  1390. 49:54Yeah.
  1391. 49:54Um and really what broke it was the two
  1392. 49:57things you said. The first thing was you
  1393. 49:59got to talk about it. And the second
  1394. 50:00thing was removing the pressure and the
  1395. 50:02blame and and the judgment.
  1396. 50:05And if you can get there, and I think
  1397. 50:07much of the reason why people don't want
  1398. 50:08to talk about it sometimes
  1399. 50:10is because they they might have a little
  1400. 50:12bit of a risk that if they're honest
  1401. 50:14about how they're feeling then the other
  1402. 50:15the the person might leave or they might
  1403. 50:17be mad or they they might not hang
  1404. 50:19around long enough for you to fix it
  1405. 50:21together.
  1406. 50:23You know? And also you don't know how to
  1407. 50:24fix it. So it's difficult sometimes in
  1408. 50:26life to say I've got a problem, but I
  1409. 50:28have no idea what the solution is.
  1410. 50:30You know?
  1411. 50:30Yeah.
  1412. 50:31This is one of the reasons that I like
  1413. 50:33erotic play dates so much.
  1414. 50:35What's that?
  1415. 50:36Erotic play dates are so
  1416. 50:38All right, I've written hundreds of sex
  1417. 50:40techniques.
  1418. 50:42I've written dozens of communication
  1419. 50:45skills.
  1420. 50:47And what people really want, they don't
  1421. 50:50necessarily just want a technique or a
  1422. 50:51skill, they just want to have fun. They
  1423. 50:54want erotic adventure.
  1424. 50:57I just want to have fun having sex with
  1425. 50:59you. I don't want it to be like I'm
  1426. 51:01going to be finding your, you know, G
  1427. 51:04spot or whatever. Like that's fun.
  1428. 51:06That's fun. That could be one of the
  1429. 51:07things you want to do. That could be one
  1430. 51:09of your erotic play dates. It's like,
  1431. 51:11let's find our G spot. Let's try this
  1432. 51:13sex toy. Let's do a lingerie photo
  1433. 51:15shoot. Let's have sex on the dining room
  1434. 51:17table when the kids are away. Let's do
  1435. 51:20whatever. When you start to think about
  1436. 51:22your sexuality not as oh, we have to
  1437. 51:25grab a boob and stick it in.
  1438. 51:28We have to have intercourse.
  1439. 51:30Um and when you move away from that and
  1440. 51:31you take the pressure off, you have a
  1441. 51:32lot more intercourse.
  1442. 51:35Because you have a you start having fun.
  1443. 51:37You start trying things. And when you
  1444. 51:39try things, you have new relationship
  1445. 51:42energy.
  1446. 51:43Sex is an equation.
  1447. 51:47It is two things.
  1448. 51:49Good sex is
  1449. 51:51half of it is safety and security.
  1450. 51:54I trust this person. They're not going
  1451. 51:56to give me STIs. You know, they're
  1452. 51:58they're going to they're going to be
  1453. 51:59fun. Um I like them. They smell good.
  1454. 52:02They taste good. You know, that
  1455. 52:04I they're going to be good have sex
  1456. 52:06with. But if you you just have that
  1457. 52:12boring, you know? It's like that's the
  1458. 52:14death knell for your sex life is when
  1459. 52:17it's just safe.
  1460. 52:19Boring. Sounds so boring. So, variety,
  1461. 52:23novelty,
  1462. 52:24erotic adventures, erotic play dates,
  1463. 52:28learning new things together.
  1464. 52:30When you have this seat, this foundation
  1465. 52:34of trust and safety,
  1466. 52:37and good communication, I can say
  1467. 52:39anything I want to you and you're going
  1468. 52:40to love me and you're going to
  1469. 52:41appreciate that I'm telling you what I
  1470. 52:43need all the time.
  1471. 52:45When you have that, and then you add all
  1472. 52:47the novelty, ooh, did you hear about
  1473. 52:50that heated sex toy or that one that
  1474. 52:52blows up in your vagina? It inflates.
  1475. 52:54What's that like? Or oh, let's find your
  1476. 52:56P-spot. Or let's try this penis ring. Or
  1477. 52:59whatever it might be. Um once you start
  1478. 53:02doing those things, then not only that,
  1479. 53:03but you have something to look forward
  1480. 53:05to.
  1481. 53:06You're like, okay. So, one of the things
  1482. 53:08that I like to offer people is a is
  1483. 53:10understanding what's on your sex life
  1484. 53:12bucket list.
  1485. 53:14So, what I did was I took 48 of my best
  1486. 53:18sexy ideas and I made a sex life bucket
  1487. 53:21list with all 48 of them. And then it's
  1488. 53:24basically this little printout here. I
  1489. 53:25I'll just give you one.
  1490. 53:27For me?
  1491. 53:28Yeah.
  1492. 53:30Or for them?
  1493. 53:32This one this is for you. So, what's
  1494. 53:33interesting about the sex life bucket
  1495. 53:34list is that I give you a video and I
  1496. 53:37give you a printout. And if you both do
  1497. 53:38the printout, and you watch the video,
  1498. 53:41and you go through and I tell you what
  1499. 53:43all 48 ideas are. And then when you do
  1500. 53:46that you go, "Okay, well these are my
  1501. 53:49A's. I definitely want to do a laundry
  1502. 53:51photo shoot with you. My B's are I mean
  1503. 53:55I'd find your P spot with you and I'm
  1504. 53:56happy to do it but it wouldn't be like
  1505. 53:58on my A list."
  1506. 53:59P spot?
  1507. 54:00Your prostate. Your P spot.
  1508. 54:02Is that your bum?
  1509. 54:03Yeah, up your bum.
  1510. 54:04Okay.
  1511. 54:04And um C's are it's not for me right
  1512. 54:08now. Never say never because as you
  1513. 54:10mature,
  1514. 54:11if you think about your sexual
  1515. 54:13development like your personal
  1516. 54:14development, it's just one more thing
  1517. 54:16you're learning. You get better and
  1518. 54:18better and you increment your skills.
  1519. 54:20And so what you used to look at and go,
  1520. 54:21"Why would anybody want to be spanked?"
  1521. 54:23Now you're like, "Oh my god, I want to
  1522. 54:24be spanked."
  1523. 54:25I've been there in my I've been there in
  1524. 54:27my sexual history where I was with a
  1525. 54:29partner and I remember first introduced
  1526. 54:32introducing the idea of using sex toys.
  1527. 54:34Yeah.
  1528. 54:34And my partner responded at the time
  1529. 54:36many many years ago saying that no,
  1530. 54:38that's for 50-year-old people. And I I I
  1531. 54:40I I was like, "What?" And that was I
  1532. 54:42found it really disappointing cuz I
  1533. 54:43thought I was I was in search of novelty
  1534. 54:46in the the bedroom. So I was looking to
  1535. 54:47try new things and I'd heard of like my
  1536. 54:49best friend was doing all sorts of like
  1537. 54:51bondage and whips and stuff. So I was
  1538. 54:53like, "I'll get in I'll get involved in
  1539. 54:54that."
  1540. 54:54Yeah.
  1541. 54:55And they just kind of shut it down.
  1542. 54:57Uh-huh.
  1543. 54:57And what is someone supposed to do in
  1544. 54:59such a situation where they've proposed
  1545. 55:01something which is in line with their
  1546. 55:02sort of their sex language but their
  1547. 55:04partner has shut it down, dismissed it,
  1548. 55:06mocked it, ridiculed it, whatever. What
  1549. 55:08are they supposed to do?
  1550. 55:09Yeah. First of all, I cannot wait to do
  1551. 55:11my Susan's sexy show and tell with you
  1552. 55:15today because I have brought you some
  1553. 55:17things that I've never shown anyone
  1554. 55:20before. I have brand new things that no
  1555. 55:23one's ever seen in the whole world for
  1556. 55:25you today. So I'm excited about that.
  1557. 55:28The second thing is that understanding
  1558. 55:30that your girlfriend was afraid.
  1559. 55:33She's just afraid. It was lack of
  1560. 55:35knowledge makes fear.
  1561. 55:37So, how can you educate her? Say, "You
  1562. 55:40know, I think you'd really enjoy us
  1563. 55:42playing with a toy together. You know,
  1564. 55:44I'd love to be inside you while you're
  1565. 55:47you have a toy on your the outside. And
  1566. 55:50I think you'd really enjoy it and it
  1567. 55:52might give you some different kinds of
  1568. 55:53orgasms. So, why don't we have a date
  1569. 55:56and I'll take you to a store and we can
  1570. 55:59look at them."
  1571. 55:59And she goes, "No, I'm not interested in
  1572. 56:02that. I don't like it."
  1573. 56:03Say, "Well, tell me what it is you don't
  1574. 56:05like about it. Is it something where you
  1575. 56:06think that it might do what? Replace I
  1576. 56:11you'd think I'd be worried about being
  1577. 56:12replaced."
  1578. 56:13I don't think it's good for us. I think
  1579. 56:14that we're better doing it naturally and
  1580. 56:16I think that that that's for people that
  1581. 56:18are 50. Which is what she said to me is
  1582. 56:19the quote. She said "I think that's for
  1583. 56:21people that are 50."
  1584. 56:22Well,
  1585. 56:23And we were at the time must have been
  1586. 56:24early 20s or something. So,
  1587. 56:26I mean, I use an electric toothbrush and
  1588. 56:28an oral irrigator and I drive a car and
  1589. 56:31I have a mobile device and I use a
  1590. 56:33laptop and I use all kinds of tools.
  1591. 56:36So, these are tools of pleasure and all
  1592. 56:39I think is that we might experiment with
  1593. 56:42some fun things. But, if the toys aren't
  1594. 56:44of interest to you right now, let's talk
  1595. 56:46about what else might be of interest.
  1596. 56:48Let's do this sex life bucket list and
  1597. 56:50see what does sound good to you and
  1598. 56:53let's just start with your A's. I'm
  1599. 56:55perfectly willing to meet you where you
  1600. 56:57are with the things that might be on
  1601. 56:58your bucket list. Let's Let's knock a
  1602. 57:00few of those things off and try some fun
  1603. 57:03new things together.
  1604. 57:04It's interesting cuz I I also you were
  1605. 57:05speaking, I was reflecting on that
  1606. 57:06sentence that that this former partner
  1607. 57:09said many years ago about I think it's
  1608. 57:11for people that are 50 cuz A, when I'm
  1609. 57:1250, I still want to be having the best
  1610. 57:13sex of my life.
  1611. 57:16I've I've spoken to 50-year-olds and
  1612. 57:17they're having a great time. Um but C,
  1613. 57:20it also comes back to this idea of like
  1614. 57:22should, which is again a
  1615. 57:24comparative measure. I don't You know,
  1616. 57:26like this expectation and
  1617. 57:29this this how stereotypes can can be so
  1618. 57:32corrosive for like sexual exploration
  1619. 57:35and and openness.
  1620. 57:38The other thing I was thinking about is
  1621. 57:40what if you want to try something with
  1622. 57:42your partner, you have a fantasy
  1623. 57:44and
  1624. 57:46it is opposed to their fantasy. So like
  1625. 57:50I I think you we talk about love
  1626. 57:51languages a lot, but what about like sex
  1627. 57:53languages? Could you Could you Is it
  1628. 57:55possible to have the opposite sex
  1629. 57:57language to your partner? For example,
  1630. 57:59you might want to be um
  1631. 58:02you might want to feel really safe, but
  1632. 58:04your partner wants to tie you up and
  1633. 58:09dominate.
  1634. 58:10Yeah.
  1635. 58:11And that's like and that's maybe that's
  1636. 58:12their thing.
  1637. 58:13Yeah.
  1638. 58:14And you but you want to be really you
  1639. 58:15want to feel really safe, so that that's
  1640. 58:17like diametrically opposed.
  1641. 58:18Mhm.
  1642. 58:19So there's a couple of things. The first
  1643. 58:20is that
  1644. 58:23uh Jaiya's erotic blueprints are a good
  1645. 58:25place to start.
  1646. 58:27Um she's come up with five different
  1647. 58:29archetypes, uh sexual archetypes. And I
  1648. 58:32think that's wonderful, but it's very
  1649. 58:34similar also to the um love languages,
  1650. 58:38where it's like, "Well, Steve,
  1651. 58:41I want you to love me in all five ways."
  1652. 58:42Like making me think I have a love
  1653. 58:45language, it's also uh starting with the
  1654. 58:47erotic blueprint that you have is great,
  1655. 58:50but maybe you are really enjoying being
  1656. 58:53passive, but then why not try and be a
  1657. 58:56little switchy? Why not learn and become
  1658. 58:59more confident in your sexuality and
  1659. 59:02learn how to take control?
  1660. 59:04Or maybe you are the one that's always
  1661. 59:06dominant and it's time for you to learn
  1662. 59:08how to surrender. I think that you can
  1663. 59:10start in one place with your comfort
  1664. 59:14zone,
  1665. 59:15but begin to learn more things so that
  1666. 59:18you get out of your comfort zone and you
  1667. 59:20start trying new things.
  1668. 59:23How often? You said um safety plus
  1669. 59:25novelty equals desire.
  1670. 59:27Mhm.
  1671. 59:27So the novelty part, I mean if you live
  1672. 59:30100 years, that's a lot of new ideas
  1673. 59:32you're going to need.
  1674. 59:33I have not run out of ideas. As a matter
  1675. 59:37of fact, Sir Tim, I joke that his like
  1676. 59:40epitaph on his gravestone, which he's
  1677. 59:43like, "I don't even need a gravestone. I
  1678. 59:44don't I don't care about that." But I
  1679. 59:45always joke that his epitaph is up for
  1680. 59:48anything. Like I can't come up with
  1681. 59:51something that guy wouldn't be willing
  1682. 59:52to try with me. And I keep coming up
  1683. 59:54with stuff and he keeps being a yes.
  1684. 59:56And it's really, really fun when you're
  1685. 59:58with a partner like that or when the two
  1686. 1:00:00of you have ideas. And a lot of times
  1687. 1:00:03when we have a date, we'll sit down and
  1688. 1:00:06and or if we have a date with a third
  1689. 1:00:08person. So I have a boyfriend as well.
  1690. 1:00:12And the three of us make love.
  1691. 1:00:14And we'll get together for our date and
  1692. 1:00:18we'll
  1693. 1:00:18watches that?
  1694. 1:00:19No, we were all together. They're
  1695. 1:00:20straight, but we all make love together.
  1696. 1:00:23And
  1697. 1:00:24um
  1698. 1:00:25we'll sit down and we'll be like, "Okay,
  1699. 1:00:26well what do you guys feel like?" And
  1700. 1:00:27they'll throw out some ideas and I'll
  1701. 1:00:29throw out some ideas and then we'll
  1702. 1:00:30decide what we want to start with first
  1703. 1:00:31and then we'll come up with a game plan
  1704. 1:00:33and then we'll start that game plan, but
  1705. 1:00:35then I'll be like, "Oh no, you know what
  1706. 1:00:36I want to do? I want to do this
  1707. 1:00:37instead."
  1708. 1:00:38AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OKAY, WE'LL DO THAT
  1709. 1:00:40INSTEAD."
  1710. 1:00:41And so
  1711. 1:00:42you can just get to the point where
  1712. 1:00:43you're so comfortable that you can
  1713. 1:00:46listen to your animal. One of the
  1714. 1:00:48reasons I used the word Homo sapien
  1715. 1:00:51when I talked to you earlier
  1716. 1:00:53is that we can't forget that we are part
  1717. 1:00:57of, if you think about the tree of life.
  1718. 1:01:00We're on the branch with the bonobos and
  1719. 1:01:04the great apes. We are Homo sapien. We
  1720. 1:01:07are
  1721. 1:01:08part of the great apes. And so we're an
  1722. 1:01:11animal.
  1723. 1:01:12We are subject to the vagaries of how
  1724. 1:01:14much sugar we've eaten, have we been
  1725. 1:01:16drinking, have we been, you know, have
  1726. 1:01:18we been sad, have we been stressed out,
  1727. 1:01:20etc. Have we been working out or not?
  1728. 1:01:23And so, every time you enter into an
  1729. 1:01:26experience together, every time you
  1730. 1:01:28begin a lovemaking date,
  1731. 1:01:31to not have some prescribed thing that
  1732. 1:01:33you're going to do, but to see what your
  1733. 1:01:34appetite, what your animal desires, what
  1734. 1:01:37he or she is in the mood for.
  1735. 1:01:41I'm the kitty cat, I'm the lioness,
  1736. 1:01:42where am I? I want to try a new toy, I
  1737. 1:01:44want to have sex in a different
  1738. 1:01:46location, whatever it might be. What am
  1739. 1:01:48I in the mood for? What does she want?
  1740. 1:01:51I've got another question. So, this is
  1741. 1:01:53from a young man okay who is a Diary of
  1742. 1:01:55a CEO listener,
  1743. 1:01:57and this is his situation.
  1744. 1:01:59I feel like
  1745. 1:02:02when
  1746. 1:02:04whenever
  1747. 1:02:06I am
  1748. 1:02:08having sex with someone,
  1749. 1:02:10that she's not really having as good of
  1750. 1:02:14a time as she's acting like. Um and the
  1751. 1:02:18reason that I think so is because I only
  1752. 1:02:21last like two or three minutes in bed,
  1753. 1:02:23and I just don't think that that's
  1754. 1:02:24enough time for her to you know, for her
  1755. 1:02:28to get off also.
  1756. 1:02:31Um and this has been an issue dating
  1757. 1:02:34back to my first relationship.
  1758. 1:02:37Yeah, this is very, very common. Uh so,
  1759. 1:02:40Kit, you are not alone. One in four men
  1760. 1:02:43of all ages suffer from what some people
  1761. 1:02:46call premature ejaculation
  1762. 1:02:49or performance anxiety,
  1763. 1:02:51but um
  1764. 1:02:53one of the things that I have been doing
  1765. 1:02:56is working with Jim Benson. I publish
  1766. 1:02:58his
  1767. 1:03:00program called multiorgasmic lover for
  1768. 1:03:02men.
  1769. 1:03:03And basically, what it does is it helps
  1770. 1:03:05men attain something called ejaculatory
  1771. 1:03:08choice.
  1772. 1:03:10And that is essentially, you get to
  1773. 1:03:11ejaculate when you want to, not because
  1774. 1:03:13you can't help it.
  1775. 1:03:15So, for the guys that are coming too
  1776. 1:03:17fast, it slows them down. It's
  1777. 1:03:19essentially a technique called the me
  1778. 1:03:22breath, m e.
  1779. 1:03:24And it is
  1780. 1:03:26um
  1781. 1:03:27a way to use three things in your body.
  1782. 1:03:30It's a body-based technique. It's very
  1783. 1:03:32similar to like learning how to swing a
  1784. 1:03:34golf club or learning how to drive a
  1785. 1:03:35car. Where you, you know, when you're
  1786. 1:03:38driving a car, you're gassing, you're
  1787. 1:03:39braking, you're looking in the rearview
  1788. 1:03:41mirror, you're looking out the front,
  1789. 1:03:42you're steering, you might even be
  1790. 1:03:43shifting.
  1791. 1:03:46And uh golf swing, you know, you're
  1792. 1:03:48setting it up, you got the head tilted
  1793. 1:03:49right, you're doing your swing, your
  1794. 1:03:50pull back, and all these kinds of
  1795. 1:03:52things.
  1796. 1:03:53The me breath uses three things. It uses
  1797. 1:03:54a a squeeze of the PC muscle, the
  1798. 1:03:57pubococcygeus
  1799. 1:03:59muscle. It's like the Kegel area.
  1800. 1:04:02It uses a breath that is called a cool
  1801. 1:04:05draw. This comes from Taoist techniques
  1802. 1:04:07for semen retention, but it's not a
  1803. 1:04:09semen retention technique, but it's
  1804. 1:04:11leverages that. And it uses a what we
  1805. 1:04:15call a thrust or a pelvic rock to relax
  1806. 1:04:18guys. Guys end up often with intercourse
  1807. 1:04:22kind of doing like
  1808. 1:04:24like a piston. They think about the
  1809. 1:04:26vagina as like an inside-out penis, and
  1810. 1:04:29it's just this friction that's supposed
  1811. 1:04:31to feel good to her. The vagina is a
  1812. 1:04:33vast cavern of pleasure. It is not an
  1813. 1:04:35inside-out penis, and it likes all kinds
  1814. 1:04:38of other things. But when they end up
  1815. 1:04:40with that friction
  1816. 1:04:42and they're stiff
  1817. 1:04:44and they're not relaxed, it accelerates
  1818. 1:04:47ejaculation.
  1819. 1:04:49So, when they learn the squeeze, the
  1820. 1:04:51breathe, and the thrust, and they do
  1821. 1:04:53them during masturbation, often men who
  1822. 1:04:56come before they want to are suffering
  1823. 1:04:59from um
  1824. 1:05:02kind of almost training themselves to
  1825. 1:05:03come too fast, like they've they've
  1826. 1:05:04masturbated in ways that, you know, gets
  1827. 1:05:08them off quickly. Often they don't have
  1828. 1:05:09privacy or, you know, they're just they
  1829. 1:05:12just don't have leisurely time for
  1830. 1:05:14masturbation. So, you practice the me
  1831. 1:05:16breath during masturbation, and it
  1832. 1:05:18teaches your body to gas and brake your
  1833. 1:05:21arousal, so you can slow down.
  1834. 1:05:24And the other component is the mental
  1835. 1:05:27component, which is
  1836. 1:05:29that you get really nervous you're going
  1837. 1:05:31to do it again, and then that makes you
  1838. 1:05:33do it again. And so, there are some
  1839. 1:05:36somatic
  1840. 1:05:38techniques that allow you to be present
  1841. 1:05:42right here, right now. Because a lot of
  1842. 1:05:45guys guys say to me all the time,
  1843. 1:05:48"I don't really care about my own
  1844. 1:05:49pleasure. I'm just in it for her." And
  1845. 1:05:50it's like, well, that's a lot of
  1846. 1:05:52pressure for her, dude. It would be nice
  1847. 1:05:53if you showed your pleasure, too. Like,
  1848. 1:05:55always just trying to make her have an
  1849. 1:05:57orgasm
  1850. 1:05:59is not really what you want to do,
  1851. 1:06:00either. You need to get out of your head
  1852. 1:06:03and into your body.
  1853. 1:06:05You got to slow down. You got to get
  1854. 1:06:07present. Because if you're thinking
  1855. 1:06:09about something that happened in the
  1856. 1:06:10past, "Oh, I'm going to come too fast
  1857. 1:06:11again." Or, "Oh my god, what if I come
  1858. 1:06:14too fast?" You're you're not with me.
  1859. 1:06:16And so, if he stops trying to make her
  1860. 1:06:20have fun, if he stops worrying, he
  1861. 1:06:22practices the me breath at home, and
  1862. 1:06:25then when he's making love to her, he
  1863. 1:06:27knows how to
  1864. 1:06:29breathe and rock his hips. And by the
  1865. 1:06:31way, that pelvic rock feels really good
  1866. 1:06:35in intercourse for her. So, that's nice,
  1867. 1:06:38too.
  1868. 1:06:39If I was to try and relate to
  1869. 1:06:41our friend here, Kit.
  1870. 1:06:43Yeah.
  1871. 1:06:44I think for the first sort of season of
  1872. 1:06:46my sexual journey, I thought of sex as
  1873. 1:06:49this thing where you kind of I'm on
  1874. 1:06:52and it needs to be like quick as you
  1875. 1:06:54can. And in fact, I think because of cuz
  1876. 1:06:56you watch pornography when you're young,
  1877. 1:06:58you think that the faster and harder you
  1878. 1:07:00go, the better the job you're doing.
  1879. 1:07:01Oh my gosh, I know.
  1880. 1:07:02I think in my wisdom I've learned that
  1881. 1:07:04there's no rush.
  1882. 1:07:06Oh.
  1883. 1:07:06And also, you know, I get off by
  1884. 1:07:08watching my partner get off. So, this is
  1885. 1:07:11where a lot of the things you have on
  1886. 1:07:12this table come in cuz
  1887. 1:07:14it wasn't until later in my sort of
  1888. 1:07:16sexual journey that I started using
  1889. 1:07:18these kind of things, these toys that
  1890. 1:07:20you've brought. I mean, you've brought
  1891. 1:07:21720 of them, but
  1892. 1:07:23I recognize a couple of them.
  1893. 1:07:25Um
  1894. 1:07:26which ones are like a a fan favorite? If
  1895. 1:07:28you're a guy and you're looking to
  1896. 1:07:29pleasure your partner, which one of
  1897. 1:07:31these is like, you know, easy money? Is
  1898. 1:07:33like
  1899. 1:07:35is going to hit the spot?
  1900. 1:07:36Yeah. Well, there's a couple of
  1901. 1:07:37different ones. One of the things that I
  1902. 1:07:39think is really important is yoni
  1903. 1:07:41massage.
  1904. 1:07:43Do you know what a yoni is?
  1905. 1:07:44I do.
  1906. 1:07:45Good for you.
  1907. 1:07:46Because my yeah, my partner is
  1908. 1:07:49has told me what yoni massages are and
  1909. 1:07:51she was in Bali for many years doing
  1910. 1:07:53she's done tantra training and I've I've
  1911. 1:07:54been with her and stuff, so
  1912. 1:07:56yeah.
  1913. 1:07:57Great.
  1914. 1:07:57Yoni means vagina.
  1915. 1:07:59It really means, you know, the vagina is
  1916. 1:08:01just the internal
  1917. 1:08:03Oh, yeah.
  1918. 1:08:03cavern.
  1919. 1:08:05And the vulva is just the external
  1920. 1:08:07facing
  1921. 1:08:09tissue.
  1922. 1:08:09Okay.
  1923. 1:08:10Like the outside and the inside. And so,
  1924. 1:08:11vagina's not technically accurate and
  1925. 1:08:13vulva's not technically accurate. The
  1926. 1:08:15whole thing, the whole shebang.
  1927. 1:08:18Right, but it's not cuz the vagina's
  1928. 1:08:20just the internal. So, I like the word
  1929. 1:08:23yoni because it's comprehensive. And
  1930. 1:08:28it's also reverential.
  1931. 1:08:30Which means?
  1932. 1:08:31It means that you are not looking at it
  1933. 1:08:34as like this is just a thing that I'm
  1934. 1:08:37sticking my penis in. This is actually
  1935. 1:08:39connected to this woman.
  1936. 1:08:41This is her the seat of her passion.
  1937. 1:08:44This is the seat of her creativity. This
  1938. 1:08:47is she is a goddess and I will pleasure
  1939. 1:08:50every part of her.
  1940. 1:08:51And so,
  1941. 1:08:53I think that's the number one thing
  1942. 1:08:55that's important to when I when I use
  1943. 1:08:56the word yoni, I'm really thinking about
  1944. 1:08:58it in a very loving, gentle, kind, and
  1945. 1:09:02pleasurable perspective. And so, if you
  1946. 1:09:05want to do a good job for a yoni, the
  1947. 1:09:09best thing that you can do is give it a
  1948. 1:09:11massage before you make love to it.
  1949. 1:09:15And so, toys that I would recommend for
  1950. 1:09:18that are lay-on
  1951. 1:09:21toys. This is a pretty burgeoning
  1952. 1:09:23category of of toys. And I I think about
  1953. 1:09:27them as tools. I don't even think
  1954. 1:09:28they're toys. I feel like toys is like
  1955. 1:09:30Okay, yeah, that's fine, but they're
  1956. 1:09:32they're tools.
  1957. 1:09:32What's a lay-on toy?
  1958. 1:09:34So, here are two lay-on tools. This is
  1959. 1:09:36called the Pulse Queen, and this one
  1960. 1:09:38actually has a vibrating plate. Let Let
  1961. 1:09:40me turn it on for you. Actually, you'd
  1962. 1:09:42probably figure it out right away. Hold
  1963. 1:09:43the middle button down for a minute and
  1964. 1:09:45it'll it'll go on. There you go.
  1965. 1:09:47This pulse plate technology actually
  1966. 1:09:50penetrates
  1967. 1:09:52the vulva, the outside of her yoni,
  1968. 1:09:57and it feels great on the clitoral
  1969. 1:09:58structures. It feels great on the mons.
  1970. 1:10:01It's a headache, so yeah.
  1971. 1:10:03It feels great on the outer labia and
  1972. 1:10:05the inner labia and the vestibule. So,
  1973. 1:10:08what it does
  1974. 1:10:09Wow.
  1975. 1:10:10Yeah, it it'll There's plenty of power.
  1976. 1:10:13Here's another one. That's called the
  1977. 1:10:15Vibe, and that's also a lay-on tool. And
  1978. 1:10:18they send
  1979. 1:10:20penetrating, pulsating pleasure into the
  1980. 1:10:25yoni. And what's nice about that is that
  1981. 1:10:27Here's my banana. So,
  1982. 1:10:30if you imagine this banana is a penis,
  1983. 1:10:33that's pretty easy. You can do that. And
  1984. 1:10:35half of your penis sticks out of your
  1985. 1:10:37body, and half of it actually goes down
  1986. 1:10:39and in towards your testicles.
  1987. 1:10:41So, it's a double, almost double what
  1988. 1:10:43you see sticking out fully erect, is
  1989. 1:10:46twice that size.
  1990. 1:10:47And inside it is erectile tissue,
  1991. 1:10:51spongy tissue,
  1992. 1:10:52and that spongy tissue holds blood.
  1993. 1:10:56So, remember when I was talking about um
  1994. 1:10:59being held and holding and how women
  1995. 1:11:01need to get out of their head and they
  1996. 1:11:03need to slow down?
  1997. 1:11:04Yeah.
  1998. 1:11:05If a a lot of guys say to me, "What's
  1999. 1:11:07the number one sex technique I need to
  2000. 1:11:08know?"
  2001. 1:11:09And I'm like, "Okay, well, there's a lot
  2002. 1:11:10of them, but the number one sex
  2003. 1:11:12technique you need to know is slow down.
  2004. 1:11:14Turn around and come back and get us cuz
  2005. 1:11:15you're ready to go and we're not because
  2006. 1:11:18your erection happens in a minute or
  2007. 1:11:20two. You can usually get a hard-on
  2008. 1:11:23because this spongy tissue in your penis
  2009. 1:11:25has these three straight shoots and the
  2010. 1:11:27blood runs right in there. You see the
  2011. 1:11:30boob and you get an erection. Boom."
  2012. 1:11:33But not a female body. A female body has
  2013. 1:11:36the same amount of erectile tissue as is
  2014. 1:11:39inside your penis only
  2015. 1:11:42and I'm doing a little demo here if
  2016. 1:11:43you're listening to us. I'm stretching
  2017. 1:11:46this erectile tissue from the penis into
  2018. 1:11:50this little teardrop shape. The vagina
  2019. 1:11:53is in here and the urethral canal, which
  2020. 1:11:55is what's called the G-spot, but it's
  2021. 1:11:57not a spot, it's a long tube. So, here
  2022. 1:11:59is the vagina. It is wrapped in the same
  2023. 1:12:02amount of erectile tissue that's in your
  2024. 1:12:04penis.
  2025. 1:12:05But, it's in these little arms, little
  2026. 1:12:07legs, little shaft, little sponge,
  2027. 1:12:09little sponge. And so, it takes about 20
  2028. 1:12:13minutes for her to achieve her clitoral
  2029. 1:12:17erection.
  2030. 1:12:18So, we'll start with her first then.
  2031. 1:12:20Right. So, yoni massages are fantastic
  2032. 1:12:23because you're going to get that blood
  2033. 1:12:25flowing into her vulva
  2034. 1:12:28so that all this tissue gets nice and
  2035. 1:12:31plump, so she gets an erection. Because
  2036. 1:12:34how does sex feel if you're flaccid?
  2037. 1:12:36Hm.
  2038. 1:12:37Not great.
  2039. 1:12:38It feels great when you're erect.
  2040. 1:12:40And that's because it has more surface
  2041. 1:12:42area
  2042. 1:12:43that sends more signals to your biggest
  2043. 1:12:46sex organ, your
  2044. 1:12:48Brain.
  2045. 1:12:48Your brain. And so, when women are
  2046. 1:12:51rushed for sex, which is has been almost
  2047. 1:12:53all the time because everything you see
  2048. 1:12:55in the movies What is it? What What's
  2049. 1:12:56the typical movie scene? We get
  2050. 1:12:58together, we kiss, you rip off my shirt,
  2051. 1:13:01my bra is still on, you haven't even
  2052. 1:13:02touched my boobs, which are one of the
  2053. 1:13:04three not you, you're you're perfect,
  2054. 1:13:07but
  2055. 1:13:08you know, he hasn't even touched her
  2056. 1:13:09boobs and he's ripped her pants off and
  2057. 1:13:11he's plunged inside her. She's not
  2058. 1:13:14ready. She doesn't have a lady boner.
  2059. 1:13:16She's not ready to go. That tissue needs
  2060. 1:13:18to be filled up with blood so that it
  2061. 1:13:22feels as good to her so it sends the
  2062. 1:13:24signals to her brain. So, all those
  2063. 1:13:25women who are like
  2064. 1:13:27I'm I'm just the kind of woman who can't
  2065. 1:13:29have an orgasm from intercourse.
  2066. 1:13:31I'm like, uh girl, yeah, you can. You
  2067. 1:13:35can basically have orgasms the entire
  2068. 1:13:37time you're having intercourse if you
  2069. 1:13:40get enough pleasuring before you're
  2070. 1:13:43penetrated.
  2071. 1:13:45You said there's multiple types of
  2072. 1:13:46orgasms.
  2073. 1:13:4720
  2074. 1:13:4820 different types
  2075. 1:13:4920 plus. One is wild card because I'm
  2076. 1:13:51always leaving opportunity open for more
  2077. 1:13:53orgasms.
  2078. 1:13:54I read this quantum orgasm.
  2079. 1:13:56Yeah, quantum orgasm, yeah.
  2080. 1:13:58What's that?
  2081. 1:13:59So
  2082. 1:13:59That sounds nice.
  2083. 1:14:00Of the 20 kinds of orgasms, there are
  2084. 1:14:03locations to touch, clitoral, vaginal,
  2085. 1:14:07anal, breastgasms, nipplegasms,
  2086. 1:14:10throatgasms, etc. And then there are
  2087. 1:14:14techniques to use. So, for female
  2088. 1:14:17ejaculation, which all women can do,
  2089. 1:14:20uh there are very specific techniques
  2090. 1:14:22that work and it's not what you see on
  2091. 1:14:24porn.
  2092. 1:14:25And then there's expanded orgasm
  2093. 1:14:27techniques as well.
  2094. 1:14:29And an expanded orgasm or like a quantum
  2095. 1:14:32gasm is this. So,
  2096. 1:14:35and then there and there are tools of
  2097. 1:14:36desire. So, there's three different
  2098. 1:14:37types of orgasm. I'll finish that
  2099. 1:14:39sentence. So, there's locations to
  2100. 1:14:41touch, techniques to use, and tools or
  2101. 1:14:44objects of desire because who's to say
  2102. 1:14:47that that crop that spanks your bottom
  2103. 1:14:52isn't an object of desire to give you
  2104. 1:14:53orgasms. It is, too.
  2105. 1:14:55But, the quantum gasm, so a regular
  2106. 1:14:58orgasm is okay. It's very similar to
  2107. 1:15:01what men think about an orgasm being
  2108. 1:15:04like
  2109. 1:15:05I'm going to And this is like the 1960s,
  2110. 1:15:07you know, Masters and Johnson style.
  2111. 1:15:09Almost 80 years ago. We have moved on
  2112. 1:15:12from this style of orgasm. This is just
  2113. 1:15:14one type. But, it's the
  2114. 1:15:22and you have the orgasm. That's a
  2115. 1:15:23one-and-done. And often women who say,
  2116. 1:15:26or and a lot of men complain about this
  2117. 1:15:28to me, "After she has an orgasm, she
  2118. 1:15:30doesn't want me to touch her. It's over.
  2119. 1:15:32She's done." And I'm like, "You're
  2120. 1:15:33driving her too hard. You haven't given
  2121. 1:15:35her enough engorgement. If you go
  2122. 1:15:38slower,
  2123. 1:15:39she'll be able to have multiple orgasms
  2124. 1:15:42because you haven't driven her nervous
  2125. 1:15:43system so hard to get the first one
  2126. 1:15:46done. So, slow down, lighter touch, more
  2127. 1:15:49engorgement, more foreplay, make out,
  2128. 1:15:52play with her boobs, stroke her body,
  2129. 1:15:54tell her she's beautiful, all of these
  2130. 1:15:56things. And
  2131. 1:15:58then she can move into multiple orgasms.
  2132. 1:16:06She can do that, right? But, then
  2133. 1:16:08there's extended orgasms. So, this is
  2134. 1:16:12where she starts being able to
  2135. 1:16:14sit in sensation.
  2136. 1:16:16And this is back to sex as a mindfulness
  2137. 1:16:18practice. Now, she's right there. She's
  2138. 1:16:22in the orgasm. And now she's like
  2139. 1:16:37That's the sound. That's the grab, Lisa.
  2140. 1:16:40Yeah, that.
  2141. 1:16:40Right? That's an extended orgasm. Now
  2142. 1:16:43she's taking that moment of time
  2143. 1:16:46and she's stretched it out, like taffy.
  2144. 1:16:48Right? So now she's in the orgasm.
  2145. 1:16:51Right? So she's starting to ride a big
  2146. 1:16:52wave.
  2147. 1:16:53But then there's an expanded orgasm, and
  2148. 1:16:57that's that's the king, the queen of
  2149. 1:17:00orgasms, and that is
  2150. 1:17:03now I'm a big wave rider. You're towing
  2151. 1:17:05me out. You're stroking me. You're
  2152. 1:17:07pleasuring me.
  2153. 1:17:10It's feeling good. You get me up in that
  2154. 1:17:13wave, and I'm riding that wave.
  2155. 1:17:16And I just ride and ride and ride and
  2156. 1:17:18ride that wave, and you tow me back out.
  2157. 1:17:21And a big set just came in. And now you
  2158. 1:17:24tow me into a bigger wave. It's more
  2159. 1:17:26intense. It lasts even longer. And I am
  2160. 1:17:30just coming and coming and coming, and
  2161. 1:17:33you just keep delivering. And you're
  2162. 1:17:35delivering it to me with the lightest of
  2163. 1:17:38touch. Because now I'm so good at
  2164. 1:17:41orgasming that all you barely have to do
  2165. 1:17:45is stroke a little finger on all that
  2166. 1:17:48delicious, plump, juicy tissue that's
  2167. 1:17:52now sending massive amounts of signals
  2168. 1:17:55to my brain. And I am coming for
  2169. 1:17:5810 minutes, 20 minutes,
  2170. 1:18:0130 minutes. Now I'm going to come with
  2171. 1:18:04you
  2172. 1:18:05for until I can't anymore. Let's see how
  2173. 1:18:08long we can go. And you start having
  2174. 1:18:10orgasms that keep getting bigger and
  2175. 1:18:13better until
  2176. 1:18:15you're just tired. You need to stop. You
  2177. 1:18:17have to get some water. You need to
  2178. 1:18:20recover.
  2179. 1:18:22And I remember when I was learning the
  2180. 1:18:24expanded orgasm technique. This was from
  2181. 1:18:26my mentor, Dr. Patti Taylor, and I
  2182. 1:18:27called her one day when I had one of
  2183. 1:18:29those hour-long orgasms with Tim, and I
  2184. 1:18:31was like, let's see how long I can come,
  2185. 1:18:33how hard I can come, and how much I can
  2186. 1:18:34come. And so,
  2187. 1:18:37I came and came and came and and I
  2188. 1:18:38thought, "Oh man, I'm at this precipice.
  2189. 1:18:43And I'm afraid to let go. Like I'm I'm
  2190. 1:18:45riding the waves, but I there's more and
  2191. 1:18:48it's out there, but I'm afraid." And I
  2192. 1:18:50called Patty and I was like, "What do I
  2193. 1:18:52do?" And she goes,
  2194. 1:18:54"Step off.
  2195. 1:18:55Go. Go out there." When I stepped off,
  2196. 1:18:59I touched source. I touched God. I felt
  2197. 1:19:02Gaia. I felt my connection. I felt what
  2198. 1:19:05connects us all.
  2199. 1:19:07That's why sex is repressed. That's why
  2200. 1:19:12people
  2201. 1:19:14hold you away from sexuality and shame
  2202. 1:19:17you. Because if you felt God in your
  2203. 1:19:19lovemaking, why would you need to go to
  2204. 1:19:21God in a church?
  2205. 1:19:23Here's Ethan. He's far away from God.
  2206. 1:19:25My
  2207. 1:19:26girlfriend and I um just moved in
  2208. 1:19:28together about a year ago. We've been
  2209. 1:19:30together for 2 years and we're looking
  2210. 1:19:33down the barrel of a dry bedroom and uh
  2211. 1:19:36things have
  2212. 1:19:37gotten real
  2213. 1:19:39mechanical especially in the last
  2214. 1:19:41several months and I'm just afraid of
  2215. 1:19:42where it's going to go and I want to
  2216. 1:19:43help us.
  2217. 1:19:45Good.
  2218. 1:19:47It's not good for her.
  2219. 1:19:49She's not enjoying it.
  2220. 1:19:51He's bummed out.
  2221. 1:19:53So, he's probably doing He probably I
  2222. 1:19:55mean, how can you blame anyone for not
  2223. 1:19:59knowing when there's
  2224. 1:20:01My work's always censored. I teach
  2225. 1:20:04passionate lovemaking techniques. I
  2226. 1:20:07But I can't
  2227. 1:20:09advertise. I can't advertise expanded
  2228. 1:20:11orgasm practice.
  2229. 1:20:12If you're trying to teach Ethan how to
  2230. 1:20:14have an expanded orgasm with his
  2231. 1:20:15partner.
  2232. 1:20:16Yeah.
  2233. 1:20:17What would you How do you go about that?
  2234. 1:20:18What's like
  2235. 1:20:19him the program. It's 21 erotic play
  2236. 1:20:21dates. You learn the It's a five-stroke
  2237. 1:20:24technique.
  2238. 1:20:25But I would say start with
  2239. 1:20:28sex like bucket list. Start with trying
  2240. 1:20:30some toys. Start with yoni massages.
  2241. 1:20:33Start with
  2242. 1:20:34one toy for Ethan, then? One that's just
  2243. 1:20:36going to she's it's going to blow her
  2244. 1:20:37mind.
  2245. 1:20:38Which one would you Which one is the
  2246. 1:20:40favorite? Like of all these toys there's
  2247. 1:20:42I mean there's some more over there as
  2248. 1:20:43well. What is There's got to be one
  2249. 1:20:45that's most popular amongst women?
  2250. 1:20:48It depends. I would say that if he wants
  2251. 1:20:50to have partnered sex with her, then one
  2252. 1:20:53could be a double vibrating penis ring
  2253. 1:20:56that he could put on her and she could
  2254. 1:20:59ride him. And then
  2255. 1:21:01uh she could put her clitoral structure
  2256. 1:21:05up against the Here, let me help you
  2257. 1:21:07with that.
  2258. 1:21:07No, I've got it. Don't worry.
  2259. 1:21:08You do? Oh, good for you.
  2260. 1:21:10fiddle with it on the
  2261. 1:21:11I know. It's on the bottom. You have to
  2262. 1:21:13turn it on the bottom. Hold the button
  2263. 1:21:14on the bottom and hold it for just a
  2264. 1:21:15second and it'll go on.
  2265. 1:21:17Oh my gosh.
  2266. 1:21:17And there you go. And then you can press
  2267. 1:21:19it again. Press the button at the top
  2268. 1:21:20again.
  2269. 1:21:20At the top?
  2270. 1:21:21Oh, I'm sorry. At the bottom. The same
  2271. 1:21:23one. Press it again. There it goes on.
  2272. 1:21:25Okay, so that vibrates on the clitoris
  2273. 1:21:27while it's attached to your penis.
  2274. 1:21:28Yes, your actually your penis and your
  2275. 1:21:30testicles go through there.
  2276. 1:21:32And your testicles? Oh my god.
  2277. 1:21:32Yeah. All your junk goes through there
  2278. 1:21:34and then you get perineal pleasure while
  2279. 1:21:37she gets clitoral pleasure.
  2280. 1:21:39So, you could try that. Or you could
  2281. 1:21:42give her something like this. This is a
  2282. 1:21:43little This is called the digit. And
  2283. 1:21:44this is like a little ring pop. So that
  2284. 1:21:47if you have lube all over your hands,
  2285. 1:21:48you don't lose it. It's It's not hard to
  2286. 1:21:50hold on to. And this will dance like a
  2287. 1:21:52little hummingbird on her clitoral
  2288. 1:21:54structure while you're penetrating her.
  2289. 1:21:56That's a good idea. I I love this one.
  2290. 1:21:58This one's great because sometimes I'm
  2291. 1:22:00trying to hold on to
  2292. 1:22:01I'm messing around trying to hold on to
  2293. 1:22:02this thing and it's sliding around.
  2294. 1:22:04So that's fantastic. You just got to
  2295. 1:22:05rest it there. That's fantastic.
  2296. 1:22:06Yes. So I'd say
  2297. 1:22:08introduce her to toys, but also start
  2298. 1:22:11giving her yoni massages.
  2299. 1:22:13Just really lay her down, get out the
  2300. 1:22:16oil. I'd like to tell you about this. I
  2301. 1:22:18brought these for you. So, this is um
  2302. 1:22:22Foria. This is my pleasure protocol.
  2303. 1:22:25And there are three components to it.
  2304. 1:22:27The first is this.
  2305. 1:22:31Put a melt Have your partner put a melt
  2306. 1:22:35inside her vagina. This is cocoa butter
  2307. 1:22:38botanicals.
  2308. 1:22:40But people can't see. What have you just
  2309. 1:22:42handed me?
  2310. 1:22:42I've handed you just a little
  2311. 1:22:45a little cocoa butter It almost looks
  2312. 1:22:47like a little fingertip of cocoa butter
  2313. 1:22:49that goes up inside the vagina.
  2314. 1:22:51To me it looks like a double-sized
  2315. 1:22:55tablet. Is inside here?
  2316. 1:22:56Yeah. That's reasonable. And you can
  2317. 1:22:59take one Open it up and take one out.
  2318. 1:23:01Yeah. Um
  2319. 1:23:02and
  2320. 1:23:03the cocoa butter melts up in there with
  2321. 1:23:05CBD and botanicals. There you go.
  2322. 1:23:09Doesn't it smell good?
  2323. 1:23:10gosh, it's
  2324. 1:23:12It smells like I'm dark chocolate.
  2325. 1:23:13It's cocoa.
  2326. 1:23:15Ah.
  2327. 1:23:15Cocoa butter is from cacao. It is
  2328. 1:23:18chocolate.
  2329. 1:23:19It's the fat of chocolate.
  2330. 1:23:22Mhm.
  2331. 1:23:22Which is an aphrodisiac, right? Doesn't
  2332. 1:23:25it smell good?
  2333. 1:23:26It smells It smells like cacao, yeah.
  2334. 1:23:28Yeah, so nice.
  2335. 1:23:29So she puts that inside her.
  2336. 1:23:30She pops it right in.
  2337. 1:23:32It melts almost immediately and it makes
  2338. 1:23:34her vagina feel like velvety and
  2339. 1:23:37luscious. And then this is the intimacy
  2340. 1:23:40This is the awaken arousal oil. So when
  2341. 1:23:43you take this home for your girlfriend,
  2342. 1:23:46I want you to just put a few drops
  2343. 1:23:48in your hand and then I want you to coat
  2344. 1:23:50it on the outside, on the vulva, on her
  2345. 1:23:52mons, her outer labia, her inner labia,
  2346. 1:23:55her clitoral shaft and tip, and the
  2347. 1:23:57vestibule, the inside between the two
  2348. 1:24:00labia.
  2349. 1:24:01She's going to wonder what I'm doing.
  2350. 1:24:02Doesn't that smell so good? And then
  2351. 1:24:04when you want more slide and glide, you
  2352. 1:24:08just put as much of the sex oil on as
  2353. 1:24:10you want. So you've got some ins You've
  2354. 1:24:12got the melt on the inside, you've got
  2355. 1:24:13the arousal, the awakening, which is
  2356. 1:24:15going to be like bing. It essentially
  2357. 1:24:17makes your yoni When you put the arousal
  2358. 1:24:18oil on, the awaken, it makes sure yoni
  2359. 1:24:20go
  2360. 1:24:24like that. It's so good. And then this
  2361. 1:24:28is Oh, I need more slide. I need more
  2362. 1:24:30glide. And then this I absolutely love.
  2363. 1:24:34I I used to think I used to not really
  2364. 1:24:37like my breasts.
  2365. 1:24:38And I've got great boobs and I didn't
  2366. 1:24:41think I did cuz I'm a woman and we think
  2367. 1:24:43there's something wrong with us.
  2368. 1:24:44Everybody in the world wants to get
  2369. 1:24:45their hands on my boobs, but I didn't
  2370. 1:24:47think they would look good. It's
  2371. 1:24:48ridiculous what we women do to
  2372. 1:24:50ourselves. So,
  2373. 1:24:53when I discovered nipplegasms, I was
  2374. 1:24:56like, "Oh,
  2375. 1:24:58have I been missing out?" And I love
  2376. 1:25:02having orgasms from my breasts being
  2377. 1:25:04pleasured. It is so nice. And I've done
  2378. 1:25:08an AB split test, one nipple with and
  2379. 1:25:11one nipple without this breast oil.
  2380. 1:25:14And nipple A loves this breast oil. So,
  2381. 1:25:18when you play with your girlfriend, take
  2382. 1:25:21little droppers full of this and have
  2383. 1:25:22her have her hold her boobs up and
  2384. 1:25:24dribble it on her boobs and then spread
  2385. 1:25:26it around and play with her breasts and
  2386. 1:25:29nipples maybe while you're making out or
  2387. 1:25:32you know, a lot of times what I like to
  2388. 1:25:33do is I like to have Tim lean up against
  2389. 1:25:36the back of the bed, the headboard.
  2390. 1:25:39And then I put a pillow on his belly and
  2391. 1:25:42I lean back against him and he gives me
  2392. 1:25:46breast pleasuring with the breast oil
  2393. 1:25:49while I tell him about my day and we
  2394. 1:25:51talk about things and we just connect
  2395. 1:25:54with each other.
  2396. 1:25:55I think Kit had something to say about
  2397. 1:25:56this.
  2398. 1:25:56Tell me.
  2399. 1:25:57I mean, I probably need to get better at
  2400. 1:25:59oral sex. I think oral sex is probably
  2401. 1:26:01expected at this point. Um so, I guess I
  2402. 1:26:05I would want to learn more about that
  2403. 1:26:07and I would want to learn more about
  2404. 1:26:08like
  2405. 1:26:10This is going to sound so crazy, but
  2406. 1:26:11like what like what are you supposed to
  2407. 1:26:13do with nipples?
  2408. 1:26:16I I know. I don't know any any other way
  2409. 1:26:18to say that, but it's like, you know,
  2410. 1:26:19does it feel good to like how long
  2411. 1:26:21should I should I like suck on them for
  2412. 1:26:23a while or should I
  2413. 1:26:26like tweak them or like what's
  2414. 1:26:30you know
  2415. 1:26:31It It It just seems like awkward. So, I
  2416. 1:26:33guess I'm more awkward than I should be
  2417. 1:26:35and I think if someone could tell me
  2418. 1:26:37some some things that I could do that
  2419. 1:26:40are not awkward, then I would feel
  2420. 1:26:43so much better about everything.
  2421. 1:26:45Yeah, everybody feels like that.
  2422. 1:26:48This is just a process of learning what
  2423. 1:26:50to do and I'm so glad that he wants to
  2424. 1:26:53and he's aware that he wants to learn
  2425. 1:26:54some things. Um I think having great
  2426. 1:26:56oral techniques is so good. Anybody that
  2427. 1:26:59says to me, I just don't like oral sex.
  2428. 1:27:01I'm like, uh because you haven't had
  2429. 1:27:04good oral sex. Oral sex is incredible,
  2430. 1:27:07highly orgasmic, amazing all on its own
  2431. 1:27:11and a lot of people say, oh, I don't
  2432. 1:27:12like 69, which is mutual oral
  2433. 1:27:15pleasuring. And I'm like They're like, I
  2434. 1:27:17can't concentrate. I'm like, you don't
  2435. 1:27:19have to concentrate. You can just
  2436. 1:27:20sometimes be giving and sometimes be
  2437. 1:27:22receiving, but being connected like that
  2438. 1:27:26being
  2439. 1:27:27Think about the energy you're
  2440. 1:27:29circulating and the pleasure that you're
  2441. 1:27:31creating. Practice makes perfect with
  2442. 1:27:34sex.
  2443. 1:27:36Chuck me that perfect Ted.
  2444. 1:27:38One of the things that I think about all
  2445. 1:27:40the time because my life is quite hectic
  2446. 1:27:41and busy is how to manage my energy load
  2447. 1:27:44and as a podcast, you kind of have to
  2448. 1:27:46manage your energy in such a way that
  2449. 1:27:47you can have these articulate
  2450. 1:27:48conversations with experts on subjects
  2451. 1:27:50you don't understand and this is why
  2452. 1:27:52perfect Ted has become so important in
  2453. 1:27:53my life because previously when it came
  2454. 1:27:56to energy products, I had to make a
  2455. 1:27:57trade-off that I wasn't happy with.
  2456. 1:27:59Typically, if I wanted the energy, I had
  2457. 1:28:01to deal with high sugar. I had to deal
  2458. 1:28:03with jitters and crashes that come along
  2459. 1:28:05with a lot of the mainstream energy
  2460. 1:28:06products and I also just had to tolerate
  2461. 1:28:08the fact that if I want energy, I have
  2462. 1:28:10to put up with a lot of artificial
  2463. 1:28:11ingredients, which my body didn't like.
  2464. 1:28:14And that's why I invested in Perfect Ted
  2465. 1:28:16and why they're one of the sponsors of
  2466. 1:28:17this podcast. It has changed not just my
  2467. 1:28:19life, but my entire team's life. And for
  2468. 1:28:20me, it's drastically improved my
  2469. 1:28:22cognitive performance, but also my
  2470. 1:28:23physical performance. So, if you haven't
  2471. 1:28:25tried Perfect Ted yet, you must have

  2503. 1:29:26And does the people's libidos drop when
  2504. 1:29:29they go into menopause?
  2505. 1:29:31It depends on so many factors. Some
  2506. 1:29:35people say that they're having the best
  2507. 1:29:37sex of their life through menopause,
  2508. 1:29:40and some people say that their libido
  2509. 1:29:43flatlines. Everybody's so different.
  2510. 1:29:45There's genetics, there's diets, there's
  2511. 1:29:47belief systems, there's, you know,
  2512. 1:29:49whether your sex life's already good or
  2513. 1:29:51not. So many things.
  2514. 1:29:53Does low testosterone equal low libido
  2515. 1:29:54typically?
  2516. 1:29:55It can, yes.
  2517. 1:29:56Okay.
  2518. 1:29:57And I want to explain libido, desire,
  2519. 1:29:59and arousal, cuz they're really three
  2520. 1:30:00different things, but people use them
  2521. 1:30:01interchangeably. Libido is your health.
  2522. 1:30:04How healthy are you? One of the most
  2523. 1:30:06common things that happens to couples is
  2524. 1:30:08someone becomes ill, emotionally,
  2525. 1:30:10physically, or both. And then they can't
  2526. 1:30:13have intercourse, so they think their
  2527. 1:30:14sex life is over and they stop even
  2528. 1:30:16touching each other.
  2529. 1:30:18And so what you have to do is you have
  2530. 1:30:20to have that I I like to say I'm like a
  2531. 1:30:22Timex watch. I can take a licking and
  2532. 1:30:25keep on ticking, right? Anything that
  2533. 1:30:27happens to me, I just find a way to fix
  2534. 1:30:30it, work around it, take care of it.
  2535. 1:30:32Like I just don't want to uh succumb to
  2536. 1:30:37old age and atrophy and all of those
  2537. 1:30:39things. So I do all kinds of this sexual
  2538. 1:30:43biohacking and these sexual regenerative
  2539. 1:30:45therapies.
  2540. 1:30:46And then desire is how do you feel about
  2541. 1:30:49yourself? Just like Eliza, where she
  2542. 1:30:52feels
  2543. 1:30:54like she's not desirable anymore.
  2544. 1:30:56You have to really work with those body
  2545. 1:30:59issues and
  2546. 1:31:00and and love yourself and and and get
  2547. 1:31:03over those things and bring yourself
  2548. 1:31:05back to the pleasure and the connection
  2549. 1:31:07and the joy that you create and not hold
  2550. 1:31:09yourself up to some perfect thing.
  2551. 1:31:11You've had kids, you're you're aging,
  2552. 1:31:13okay? But that doesn't mean you can't
  2553. 1:31:14have really great sex with your husband
  2554. 1:31:17that makes you both so so happy and
  2555. 1:31:18makes your kids happy because they're
  2556. 1:31:20growing up in a household where their
  2557. 1:31:21parents aren't all stressed out and
  2558. 1:31:23disconnected. They're growing up in a
  2559. 1:31:24household where mommy and daddy are
  2560. 1:31:26going to go in the other room and you
  2561. 1:31:28need to watch Barney for a while or
  2562. 1:31:30whatever.
  2563. 1:31:33And then arousal is this notion that men
  2564. 1:31:35get erect very quickly and they're ready
  2565. 1:31:37to go. They'll drop trow at a moment's
  2566. 1:31:39notice and have sex anywhere, anytime.
  2567. 1:31:42And women need relaxation to begin to
  2568. 1:31:45climb the arousal ladder. They need that
  2569. 1:31:47blood flow to come in. That takes 20 or
  2570. 1:31:4930 minutes depending on frequency of
  2571. 1:31:53engorgement and so we need that, too.
  2572. 1:31:56I wanted to ask another question for one
  2573. 1:31:59of my listeners. Um
  2574. 1:32:01it was a guy and we had this question
  2575. 1:32:04come in quite a lot from our audience
  2576. 1:32:06and it was about routine. Where is it?
  2577. 1:32:09This one here.
  2578. 1:32:10This is Ethan.
  2579. 1:32:11Okay.
  2580. 1:32:12Yeah, it's just it's just it's just the
  2581. 1:32:14same thing over and over again. It's
  2582. 1:32:17how we can we can pretty much do one,
  2583. 1:32:20maybe two,
  2584. 1:32:22you know, positions
  2585. 1:32:24and and yeah, it's got to be night time,
  2586. 1:32:28bed.
  2587. 1:32:31Same same day, you know, every every
  2588. 1:32:33Saturday.
  2589. 1:32:35I finally get it.
  2590. 1:32:37Yippee.
  2591. 1:32:39Yeah, I can I just feel the frustration
  2592. 1:32:41in his voice.
  2593. 1:32:43And it it it breaks my heart.
  2594. 1:32:46And this is
  2595. 1:32:48probably a woman who has one pathway
  2596. 1:32:51that she's found to orgasm
  2597. 1:32:53and that's her comfortable pathway.
  2598. 1:32:56And so she wants a sure thing.
  2599. 1:33:00And she needs it to be the same every
  2600. 1:33:02time so she can have that. So what I
  2601. 1:33:06would say to him is
  2602. 1:33:08that again
  2603. 1:33:09his partner's working without a lot of
  2604. 1:33:12knowledge so she has much more fear and
  2605. 1:33:15so the control that she's putting
  2606. 1:33:18onto her sex life, like it's only this
  2607. 1:33:20way, it's only in the dark, it's only
  2608. 1:33:22this day, it's you know, that's her
  2609. 1:33:24that's her groove. She's found her
  2610. 1:33:26groove.
  2611. 1:33:27And that's fine, but it would be what I
  2612. 1:33:31would want her to know is that there's
  2613. 1:33:3320 kinds of orgasms. There's so many
  2614. 1:33:35pathways. Try orgasmic cross training.
  2615. 1:33:40So start with the thing that you know
  2616. 1:33:42works and then add something else in.
  2617. 1:33:45And when you are working on that one
  2618. 1:33:48thing that works and then you add the
  2619. 1:33:50new thing in. Let's try let's try breast
  2620. 1:33:52play. Okay? So I'm going to
  2621. 1:33:55do what you want to do, but I'm also
  2622. 1:33:56going to stimulate your breasts and
  2623. 1:33:58nipples. I'm going to slowly trace my
  2624. 1:34:00fingers. I'm going to put on some breast
  2625. 1:34:02oil. I'm going to
  2626. 1:34:03pleasure you.
  2627. 1:34:04Pretty soon
  2628. 1:34:06that
  2629. 1:34:08at first might not feel good to her.
  2630. 1:34:11It might make her feel This is This is
  2631. 1:34:14If you touch a woman in on her breasts,
  2632. 1:34:16on her nipples, on her vulva, on her
  2633. 1:34:19clitoris, in her opening to her vagina,
  2634. 1:34:22which is called her introitus sphincter,
  2635. 1:34:23which is a little round muscle, inside
  2636. 1:34:26her vagina, on her labia, all these
  2637. 1:34:28different places, and you ask her, "What
  2638. 1:34:29do you feel?"
  2639. 1:34:31All different women will say basically
  2640. 1:34:32four things.
  2641. 1:34:35The first thing they'll say is
  2642. 1:34:37it feels it it hurts. It feels painful.
  2643. 1:34:40It feels numb.
  2644. 1:34:42I feel shame.
  2645. 1:34:45Or I feel pleasure.
  2646. 1:34:47All that's standing between
  2647. 1:34:51the pain, the shame, the numbness, and
  2648. 1:34:54the pleasure
  2649. 1:34:55is orgasmic
  2650. 1:34:58in a loving way that feels safe.
  2651. 1:35:02So that you can begin to start those
  2652. 1:35:06neural pathways to the brain. I'm back
  2653. 1:35:09to the biggest sex organ again. Which is
  2654. 1:35:12the third time you touched me in a
  2655. 1:35:13loving way on my labia, it actually
  2656. 1:35:17started to not feel numb. It started to
  2657. 1:35:20feel good. Great! Let's do it some more.
  2658. 1:35:24And so, when you bring all the sensation
  2659. 1:35:27online, when you get all those
  2660. 1:35:30corpuscles and nerve endings and all of
  2661. 1:35:33that tissue thrumming with pleasure,
  2662. 1:35:37your orgasms become so easy.
  2663. 1:35:40So I would recommend for him
  2664. 1:35:43offer yoni massages without intercourse
  2665. 1:35:45on a separate day of the week to begin
  2666. 1:35:47to activate that tissue.
  2667. 1:35:49So she's not so reliant on the pathway
  2668. 1:35:52that works for her, and she begins to
  2669. 1:35:54understand how beautiful her vulva is to
  2670. 1:35:57him, how much he loves to give her
  2671. 1:35:59pleasure, how to relax and stay in
  2672. 1:36:03sensation.
  2673. 1:36:04Because women have a lot of time staying
  2674. 1:36:07in their body and staying in sensation.
  2675. 1:36:08One of the number one things
  2676. 1:36:10that a sex therapist will do
  2677. 1:36:14is teach you
  2678. 1:36:15how to stay in sensation and feel it.
  2679. 1:36:20People are disconnected from their
  2680. 1:36:23sensation.
  2681. 1:36:24Where does masturbation and pornography
  2682. 1:36:26fit into all of this? Is that a good
  2683. 1:36:28thing for a relationship? Is it a good
  2684. 1:36:29thing to be doing it alone? Is it
  2685. 1:36:31something that's full of shame? We had a
  2686. 1:36:33conversation on this podcast recently
  2687. 1:36:35about pornography and one of the really
  2688. 1:36:37surprising things that came off the back
  2689. 1:36:38of it was
  2690. 1:36:40women messaging me privately
  2691. 1:36:42saying that we didn't talk about
  2692. 1:36:46women who have an addiction to
  2693. 1:36:47pornography.
  2694. 1:36:48Mhm.
  2695. 1:36:49Which was quite surprising to me.
  2696. 1:36:50Yeah, I know.
  2697. 1:36:51Because it's not it's not in keeping
  2698. 1:36:52with the stereotype.
  2699. 1:36:53Right.
  2700. 1:36:54I hadn't crossed my mind.
  2701. 1:36:55Yeah.
  2702. 1:36:55But I wanted to give that a little bit
  2703. 1:36:57of air time because it's something I
  2704. 1:36:58didn't talk about last time. Is that
  2705. 1:36:59something, you know, how how do you
  2706. 1:37:01think about pornography and
  2707. 1:37:02masturbation? Is it good, bad,
  2708. 1:37:03indifferent, shameful?
  2709. 1:37:06Oh, you're talking to the lady that
  2710. 1:37:08likes hard connected passionate love
  2711. 1:37:09making, and most pornography is just
  2712. 1:37:12friction. I like to transform friction
  2713. 1:37:15into connection.
  2714. 1:37:16And so I'm not against pornography. It's
  2715. 1:37:21just not in my realm of what I like to
  2716. 1:37:25help people with.
  2717. 1:37:26Why?
  2718. 1:37:26Because I want to teach you how to have
  2719. 1:37:30much better sex than the stuff you're
  2720. 1:37:32seeing on porn.
  2721. 1:37:33What's the harm of the stuff we see on
  2722. 1:37:34porn?
  2723. 1:37:35I'm not saying that it's harmful. I'm
  2724. 1:37:36just saying why live someone else's
  2725. 1:37:39agenda?
  2726. 1:37:40Why not live your own agenda? Have your
  2727. 1:37:42own life. Have your own fantasies. Have
  2728. 1:37:44your own sexuality. Have your own
  2729. 1:37:46experiences.
  2730. 1:37:47Have you met a woman addicted to
  2731. 1:37:48pornography?
  2732. 1:37:49No, I have not.
  2733. 1:37:50Have you met a man addicted to
  2734. 1:37:51pornography?
  2735. 1:37:52Many.
  2736. 1:37:54Yeah.
  2737. 1:37:55And they have to go off it cold turkey
  2738. 1:37:58and they go through withdrawal and it's
  2739. 1:38:00freaking hard.
  2740. 1:38:01So, I I feel badly for people who do get
  2741. 1:38:04addicted to it.
  2742. 1:38:05it ruins the real thing?
  2743. 1:38:07I do.
  2744. 1:38:08Because I don't even want to watch it.
  2745. 1:38:10First of all, Time magazine had an
  2746. 1:38:12article that said that
  2747. 1:38:15uh they did a There was a study that um
  2748. 1:38:17randomly sampled something like 340
  2749. 1:38:20clips of porn.
  2750. 1:38:22And then they looked at them and they
  2751. 1:38:24said 96% of them were degrading to women
  2752. 1:38:27in some way.
  2753. 1:38:29And that's what we're raising
  2754. 1:38:31generations to think is sex.
  2755. 1:38:33What I like to teach is passionate
  2756. 1:38:37erotic, sensual,
  2757. 1:38:40heart-connected,
  2758. 1:38:42ecstatic, orgasmic bliss.
  2759. 1:38:46What about masturbation without the
  2760. 1:38:47pornography?
  2761. 1:38:48Masturbation is fantastic. It helps
  2762. 1:38:51activate all of the tissue. It helps you
  2763. 1:38:55uh have pleasure and fantasy. So, my
  2764. 1:38:59recommendation is
  2765. 1:39:00fantasy. Although there are some new
  2766. 1:39:03interesting things that are coming up
  2767. 1:39:04too. Like, for example, um two of these
  2768. 1:39:07toys that I want to show you.
  2769. 1:39:10These are really interesting new
  2770. 1:39:12technology. One of them heats up.
  2771. 1:39:16So, it gets warm. There's nothing better
  2772. 1:39:18than sticking a nice warm thing in your
  2773. 1:39:21vagina.
  2774. 1:39:22And I love that. Try this one. I don't
  2775. 1:39:24know if you tried that one yet. These
  2776. 1:39:26are from Satisfyer. And this one, check
  2777. 1:39:29this out, man. This is so interesting.
  2778. 1:39:33This particular vibrator gets
  2779. 1:39:37It gets a balloon and it blows up. Look,
  2780. 1:39:39I'm blowing it up.
  2781. 1:39:44For anyone that can't see, the end of
  2782. 1:39:45It's like a normal vibrator, but the end
  2783. 1:39:47is swelling.
  2784. 1:39:48Look at that.
  2785. 1:39:49And then, if you want to let it out, you
  2786. 1:39:51just press it. Oops.
  2787. 1:39:54Uh-oh.
  2788. 1:39:55There it goes. Shoo. And all the air
  2789. 1:39:57goes out. If you put this inside your
  2790. 1:39:59vagina, it feels incredible to have that
  2791. 1:40:02blowing up inside there and filling up
  2792. 1:40:04all that cavern of space.
  2793. 1:40:06These now are app-connected, and you can
  2794. 1:40:09listen to fantasy or music, and the
  2795. 1:40:13music will take you on an orgasmic
  2796. 1:40:16journey. The fantasies will read you
  2797. 1:40:19stories in time with the vibrations and
  2798. 1:40:22sensations that come from the devices.
  2799. 1:40:26So, if you want to watch pornography, do
  2800. 1:40:28it.
  2801. 1:40:29Uh for me personally, I would rather you
  2802. 1:40:31have a couple of hot lovers and great
  2803. 1:40:34fun. And, you know, have A lot of women
  2804. 1:40:37are like, "Well, I I I don't have a
  2805. 1:40:39boyfriend." And I'm like, "Well, take a
  2806. 1:40:40lover."
  2807. 1:40:42Why do you need someone who checks off
  2808. 1:40:43all the boxes? Why not just get a hot
  2809. 1:40:45side piece and have great sex with them?
  2810. 1:40:48And they're like, "Oh my god, I never
  2811. 1:40:49thought of that." I'm like, "Girl, stick
  2812. 1:40:51with me."
  2813. 1:40:53And I recommend that for anyone. You
  2814. 1:40:54don't have to wait for the be-all and
  2815. 1:40:56end-all. You can just have great sex as
  2816. 1:40:59long as you do STI testing, which is one
  2817. 1:41:02of the last things I wanted to talk to
  2818. 1:41:03you about. Oh, it's like I spilled a
  2819. 1:41:06little oil on this. I'm sorry. This is
  2820. 1:41:08so interesting because this is Basis DX.
  2821. 1:41:12Now, I have to say,
  2822. 1:41:13uh full disclosure in this particular
  2823. 1:41:15thing I'm on, they're I'm their chief
  2824. 1:41:17advocacy officer. So,
  2825. 1:41:20because I work with people who are in
  2826. 1:41:24poly groups and who go to sex parties
  2827. 1:41:27and, you know, they're they're I'm
  2828. 1:41:29encouraging people to have sex, I cannot
  2829. 1:41:32do it without the caveat that one must
  2830. 1:41:34do STI testing before they go any
  2831. 1:41:37further than kissing or hands on a body.
  2832. 1:41:40So, you can keep a couple of STI kits at
  2833. 1:41:42home, and then if you meet your hot
  2834. 1:41:44lover, you can do your STI tests, and
  2835. 1:41:46then when you get them back, then you
  2836. 1:41:49know you're safe. Everything's okay. Cuz
  2837. 1:41:51there's a lot of long-term downstream
  2838. 1:41:54negative effects from getting STIs. It's
  2839. 1:41:57not as simple as, "Oh, just take take an
  2840. 1:41:59antibiotic and you're done."
  2841. 1:42:01Some of these things last forever, and
  2842. 1:42:03you can never get rid of them.
  2843. 1:42:05What is the most important thing that we
  2844. 1:42:06haven't talked about?
  2845. 1:42:07And really there I'm asking for the
  2846. 1:42:09audience. What is the question that
  2847. 1:42:11they're probably sat home saying,
  2848. 1:42:12"Steve, you didn't ask that bloody
  2849. 1:42:13question which I've got a huge issue
  2850. 1:42:15with here at home in my
  2851. 1:42:17in my bedroom with my love life, with my
  2852. 1:42:19partner."
  2853. 1:42:20Well, we've talked a lot about um how
  2854. 1:42:23body works
  2855. 1:42:25and slowing down. We've talked a lot
  2856. 1:42:26about
  2857. 1:42:28creating your own experiences, that sex
  2858. 1:42:30is um
  2859. 1:42:32a lifetime journey of pleasure and
  2860. 1:42:35learning. That
  2861. 1:42:37ignorance creates fear, so learning
  2862. 1:42:41solves that problem. And the best way to
  2863. 1:42:43learn is to try new things. We've talked
  2864. 1:42:46about so many different things that you
  2865. 1:42:49can try. We've talked about the fact
  2866. 1:42:51that if you have no path to orgasm, you
  2867. 1:42:53can get one. Then you can get two. Then
  2868. 1:42:55you can get three. By the way, all
  2869. 1:42:57bodies can have over 20 kinds of
  2870. 1:42:58orgasms. You can have as many orgasms as
  2871. 1:43:01I can.
  2872. 1:43:02We have the same parts. They're just in
  2873. 1:43:04any and outy.
  2874. 1:43:06So, men think they have one ejaculatory
  2875. 1:43:09orgasm and they're done, or maybe a
  2876. 1:43:10short refractory period. But no, you
  2877. 1:43:13have so many kinds of orgasms waiting to
  2878. 1:43:15come out. They're all in there
  2879. 1:43:17waiting for you to let them
  2880. 1:43:19exist in your life.
  2881. 1:43:21So, we've talked about
  2882. 1:43:22know when to to leave?
  2883. 1:43:24How do you know when to walk away?
  2884. 1:43:27There are so many good sex therapists
  2885. 1:43:30out there now
  2886. 1:43:32that
  2887. 1:43:33you have to try that first before you
  2888. 1:43:35leave. If you can afford to seek therapy
  2889. 1:43:38and you have a mismatch in your style,
  2890. 1:43:42desire, libido, whatever it might be.
  2891. 1:43:45There's There's been trauma. There's,
  2892. 1:43:48you know, whatever it might be.
  2893. 1:43:50Um
  2894. 1:43:51What if they don't want to see one? What
  2895. 1:43:52if you propose the idea and they say,
  2896. 1:43:53"No, I'm not going to therapy." Cuz
  2897. 1:43:55talking about the bedroom to a total
  2898. 1:43:58stranger
  2899. 1:43:59Yeah.
  2900. 1:43:59is not the easiest of things to do. I
  2901. 1:44:01think I would say, especially for a man.
  2902. 1:44:04I'm not saying just just for men.
  2903. 1:44:05Therapists are good at that though. They
  2904. 1:44:06know what they're doing. They can help
  2905. 1:44:08you with that. They can open you to
  2906. 1:44:10the discussions.
  2907. 1:44:11Well, I went to a see a therapist with
  2908. 1:44:13my partner and we talked about a lot big
  2909. 1:44:15range of things and we still go to
  2910. 1:44:16couples therapy all the time. Um it's
  2911. 1:44:18more of a like a preventative measure,
  2912. 1:44:20but it's just nice to have a dedicated
  2913. 1:44:22space and even in there, especially the
  2914. 1:44:24first couple of times that I went, I was
  2915. 1:44:25like, I hate this. I was like
  2916. 1:44:28it was embarrass- it was like
  2917. 1:44:29embarrassing. I didn't want to say
  2918. 1:44:31anything. I was hoping she wasn't going
  2919. 1:44:32to say anything.
  2920. 1:44:36Cuz you feel like the stranger's judging
  2921. 1:44:37you, but also
  2922. 1:44:39you know
  2923. 1:44:42Yeah, it's it's not But the reason why
  2924. 1:44:46it's a good thing is because
  2925. 1:44:49you
  2926. 1:44:50in your relationship knowing that
  2927. 1:44:51there's a space
  2928. 1:44:52where you're going to get to be honest
  2929. 1:44:54with each other
  2930. 1:44:54Yeah.
  2931. 1:44:55and you're going to get to vocalize it
  2932. 1:44:56makes the other
  2933. 1:44:576.9
  2934. 1:44:59days, the other like the rest of the
  2935. 1:45:01week much more enjoyable because you
  2936. 1:45:04know where the space is for these
  2937. 1:45:05things. You know when we're going to sit
  2938. 1:45:06down and have this sort of dedicated
  2939. 1:45:07conversation. So it makes it makes the
  2940. 1:45:10rest of the relationship better. And
  2941. 1:45:11also, like I think men have a bias where
  2942. 1:45:13we don't we're not typically the ones to
  2943. 1:45:15initiate these kinds of things.
  2944. 1:45:17Um sometimes we might seem like
  2945. 1:45:18resentful or reserved, but over time,
  2946. 1:45:21even though my partner initiates these
  2947. 1:45:22kind of conversations about unmet needs
  2948. 1:45:24and sex life and all these kinds of
  2949. 1:45:26things.
  2950. 1:45:26Yeah.
  2951. 1:45:27Over time and in hindsight thank god she
  2952. 1:45:30did.
  2953. 1:45:30Yeah.
  2954. 1:45:31Because she
  2955. 1:45:34I think women are sometimes better at
  2956. 1:45:35like ringing the alarm.
  2957. 1:45:37Well, we're generally more articulate.
  2958. 1:45:39So, men, you know, they how they say,
  2959. 1:45:40"I'm a man of few words." Yeah, men are
  2960. 1:45:43men are like that. Partially, it's
  2961. 1:45:45nature and partially, it's nurture. And
  2962. 1:45:47so, guys don't feel like they can they
  2963. 1:45:50feel like it's not a level playing field
  2964. 1:45:52when they have to have a conversation
  2965. 1:45:53about things with their female partner.
  2966. 1:45:56They feel like she's going to be able to
  2967. 1:45:57talk circles around him. So, it is
  2968. 1:45:59dangerous to navigate, which is why it's
  2969. 1:46:01nice to have a therapist to help you
  2970. 1:46:03navigate navigate really difficult
  2971. 1:46:05issues.
  2972. 1:46:06And you know that old phrase, "Happy
  2973. 1:46:07wife, happy life."
  2974. 1:46:08Yeah.
  2975. 1:46:09It's a cliche. It's a stereotype,
  2976. 1:46:10whatever, but there is a hint of truth
  2977. 1:46:13in where that stereotype comes from. And
  2978. 1:46:15I think it originates from this idea
  2979. 1:46:17that
  2980. 1:46:18men are quite simple in what they
  2981. 1:46:21express that their needs are.
  2982. 1:46:22Yeah.
  2983. 1:46:23And women are more articulate, are more
  2984. 1:46:26complex, they're more like
  2985. 1:46:28aware of unmet needs.
  2986. 1:46:30Yes.
  2987. 1:46:31So, they vocalize them more often,
  2988. 1:46:33typically, not always. Um which means
  2989. 1:46:36that there's this dynamic formed which
  2990. 1:46:37the man sometimes thinks his job is just
  2991. 1:46:39to keep her happy. And if I keep her
  2992. 1:46:40happy, then we're happy.
  2993. 1:46:41Yeah.
  2994. 1:46:42But in hindsight
  2995. 1:46:44I've come to learn that it's a really
  2996. 1:46:46good thing that she does sound the
  2997. 1:46:47alarm. It's a really good thing that she
  2998. 1:46:48is sensitive to unmet needs because
  2999. 1:46:51unmet needs for her are probably unmet
  3000. 1:46:52needs for me. I just can't see them yet.
  3001. 1:46:55Yeah.
  3002. 1:46:55I'm just unaware of it. So, I'm just
  3003. 1:46:57saying that to men who
  3004. 1:46:59who might feel the same way that I've
  3005. 1:47:00often felt where you're like, "Oh my
  3006. 1:47:02god, another problem." or whatever. And
  3007. 1:47:04um
  3008. 1:47:05yeah, I've just come to be so grateful
  3009. 1:47:06for the fact that my partner is like
  3010. 1:47:08very aware of these things.
  3011. 1:47:09Good early warning system.
  3012. 1:47:09very good cuz I would never. I'm so like
  3013. 1:47:11busy and like
  3014. 1:47:13if she's smiling, I'm fine.
  3015. 1:47:14Yeah.
  3016. 1:47:14But and you know this, you come to learn
  3017. 1:47:16this because the things that when she
  3018. 1:47:18sounds the alarm, the things that it
  3019. 1:47:20ends up solving make the relationship
  3020. 1:47:22better, makes me happier, and that's
  3021. 1:47:24that's the goal at the end of the day.
  3022. 1:47:25So,
  3023. 1:47:26yeah.
  3024. 1:47:27So, reviewing everything we've talked
  3025. 1:47:29about, the other thing we talked about
  3026. 1:47:30was making her small offers, filling her
  3027. 1:47:32up with orgasms, giving her Yoni
  3028. 1:47:34massages, slowing down.
  3029. 1:47:36Mhm.
  3030. 1:47:37Those are very important, holding her.
  3031. 1:47:39It makes you feel as good to hold your
  3032. 1:47:41woman as it does for her to be held.
  3033. 1:47:43Mhm.
  3034. 1:47:44That That's a very symbiotic thing. Not
  3035. 1:47:47thinking that sex is just intercourse.
  3036. 1:47:49Right? Learning more skills,
  3037. 1:47:52having more experiences together, doing
  3038. 1:47:54your sex life bucket list, and keeping
  3039. 1:47:57your body in good shape.
  3040. 1:48:00Right? So, making sure you're getting
  3041. 1:48:02your exercise and your sleep and all
  3042. 1:48:04those things so you can go the distance
  3043. 1:48:05and that sex keeps getting better your
  3044. 1:48:07whole life long. So, I think we've
  3045. 1:48:09covered a lot of terrain.
  3046. 1:48:12Well, we have a closing tradition on
  3047. 1:48:13this podcast where the last guest leaves
  3048. 1:48:14a question for the next guest not
  3049. 1:48:15knowing who they're leaving it for, and
  3050. 1:48:16the question that I left for you
  3051. 1:48:18Mhm.
  3052. 1:48:19if you could go back and tell your
  3053. 1:48:2020-year-old self something,
  3054. 1:48:22Mhm.
  3055. 1:48:22something that would have made you
  3056. 1:48:23happier,
  3057. 1:48:25healthier, more successful,
  3058. 1:48:27if you'd heard it, if it was whispered
  3059. 1:48:28into your ear at 20 years old, what
  3060. 1:48:30would you tell your 20-year-old self?
  3061. 1:48:32Mhm.
  3062. 1:48:34Play full out.
  3063. 1:48:37Never compromise all of your gifts and
  3064. 1:48:40your talents. Never play small.
  3065. 1:48:44It is not your job to make other people
  3066. 1:48:46feel comfortable. Of course, you can
  3067. 1:48:48bring your heart to everyone,
  3068. 1:48:51but it is your job to live the best,
  3069. 1:48:53most amazing life that you possibly can.
  3070. 1:48:57I have a question for you.
  3071. 1:48:59What's that?
  3072. 1:49:00What are you going to do differently now
  3073. 1:49:02that I've had this conversation with
  3074. 1:49:03you?
  3075. 1:49:04It's quite
  3076. 1:49:04What shifted for you?
  3077. 1:49:06It's quite a few things. I mean, so
  3078. 1:49:08the first is I have this new this new
  3079. 1:49:11set of toys that I'm going to be
  3080. 1:49:13bringing home,
  3081. 1:49:14Mhm.
  3082. 1:49:14which is interesting. I learned actually
  3083. 1:49:16a lot about the limbic system, which we
  3084. 1:49:18didn't actually talk about today, from
  3085. 1:49:19reading through your work and the the
  3086. 1:49:20implications that I have for our
  3087. 1:49:21relationship and our feeling of
  3088. 1:49:22connection. I learned a lot about tantra
  3089. 1:49:24from um reading through your work as
  3090. 1:49:26well, which again we didn't talk about
  3091. 1:49:27today.
  3092. 1:49:28Um I think
  3093. 1:49:31for my audience, one of the things that
  3094. 1:49:33I think is really critical
  3095. 1:49:35um is to remove pressure.
  3096. 1:49:36Mhm.
  3097. 1:49:37Um which is I remember a phase of my
  3098. 1:49:39life where
  3099. 1:49:40it
  3100. 1:49:42sex had become like the elephant in the
  3101. 1:49:44room.
  3102. 1:49:45The or sorry, the lack of sex had become
  3103. 1:49:46the elephant in the room and the
  3104. 1:49:48pressure to fix it made it worse.
  3105. 1:49:51So, your approach to that is to
  3106. 1:49:54schedule these like play dates.
  3107. 1:49:56Yeah. Not try to get sex.
  3108. 1:49:58Where there's no like penetrative in in
  3109. 1:50:00intercourse guaranteed on the menu.
  3110. 1:50:02Yeah.
  3111. 1:50:03And just just to start from the
  3112. 1:50:05foundations of being connected. And then
  3113. 1:50:07um
  3114. 1:50:08the other thing of course is just the
  3115. 1:50:09importance of novelty in sex, which is
  3116. 1:50:10something that you know, I'm 5 6 years
  3117. 1:50:12into my relationship now, so
  3118. 1:50:14It's done.
  3119. 1:50:14something I think about a lot. I think
  3120. 1:50:15about keeping it fresh and
  3121. 1:50:17Yeah.
  3122. 1:50:17and stuff like that. And I talk to my
  3123. 1:50:19friends a lot about this a lot. I call
  3124. 1:50:20it desire management, which is how you
  3125. 1:50:22manage desire so it doesn't fade out.
  3126. 1:50:24Kind of like a
  3127. 1:50:25Mhm.
  3128. 1:50:26a flame that needs the right amount of
  3129. 1:50:28oxygen. Too much oxygen and it's going
  3130. 1:50:29to blow out, but just like the right
  3131. 1:50:30amount of oxygen. When I say too much
  3132. 1:50:33oxygen, I mean what's what's that in the
  3133. 1:50:35analogy? That'd be like
  3134. 1:50:37I guess it would be too much distance.
  3135. 1:50:40Like
  3136. 1:50:41and a lack of safety.
  3137. 1:50:42Mhm.
  3138. 1:50:43Whereas
  3139. 1:50:45just the right amount of oxygen is like
  3140. 1:50:46the right amount of safety and right
  3141. 1:50:48amount of novelty. The way I look at it
  3142. 1:50:50is like if you took a candle and you put
  3143. 1:50:52one of these like
  3144. 1:50:54things over it, it would go out. And
  3145. 1:50:55that's okay. That in that analogy, what
  3146. 1:50:58you've done there is there's no novelty,
  3147. 1:51:00there's routine. You're there all the
  3148. 1:51:01time. They see you when they wake up.
  3149. 1:51:03You're just you never leave the house.
  3150. 1:51:05You're attached to each other.
  3151. 1:51:06And then there's like a little little
  3152. 1:51:08bit of oxygen in, but not too much that
  3153. 1:51:10it's going to blow out, which is, you
  3154. 1:51:12know, keep yourself
  3155. 1:51:14high desire, maybe go, you know, go on
  3156. 1:51:17work trips every once in a while, be
  3157. 1:51:18away from each other, miss each other.
  3158. 1:51:20Mhm.
  3159. 1:51:21Go to new places,
  3160. 1:51:23wear new things, bring out new toys.
  3161. 1:51:25Yeah.
  3162. 1:51:26You know, so it's I think about that a
  3163. 1:51:27lot.
  3164. 1:51:28a simple um equation. I learned that
  3165. 1:51:31from Dossie Easton. She wrote The
  3166. 1:51:34Ethical and she was the one that
  3167. 1:51:35taught me um
  3168. 1:51:38safety and variety
  3169. 1:51:41equals desire.
  3170. 1:51:42Interesting.
  3171. 1:51:43Yeah.
  3172. 1:51:43I've come to I've come to come to learn
  3173. 1:51:45that mainly from watching my friends.
  3174. 1:51:46All my friends have taken all these
  3175. 1:51:47different approaches. My one friend, he
  3176. 1:51:49knows who he is, he listens to this
  3177. 1:51:50noise, he sends me the clips. He like
  3178. 1:51:51stifles a lot of the women that he ends
  3179. 1:51:54up with.
  3180. 1:51:54Yeah. Insecurity.
  3181. 1:51:55He will move in
  3182. 1:51:57Honestly, in two situations, he moved in
  3183. 1:51:59with them on either the first or the
  3184. 1:52:01second day.
  3185. 1:52:01Mhm.
  3186. 1:52:02Was it
  3187. 1:52:02Oh, wow.
  3188. 1:52:03the second day twice, and they became
  3189. 1:52:05his girlfriends that lasted about a
  3190. 1:52:06month. One of them lasted about 2 years.
  3191. 1:52:08But just the fact that he's moving in on
  3192. 1:52:09the second day was like problematic. In
  3193. 1:52:12both situations, one of them was COVID,
  3194. 1:52:14the other one was
  3195. 1:52:15she just lived in a far away land, so
  3196. 1:52:17she had to fly over, and then where she
  3197. 1:52:19going to live? She she lived with him.
  3198. 1:52:20And then I've seen my other friends play
  3199. 1:52:21it in other ways. I've seen the long
  3200. 1:52:23distance and how that can fade out if if
  3201. 1:52:25it's too far away.
  3202. 1:52:26hard.
  3203. 1:52:27And I've always thought there's a sweet
  3204. 1:52:28spot somewhere in the middle there.
  3205. 1:52:29Definitely.
  3206. 1:52:29But again, this is subjective. It's
  3207. 1:52:31probably different for me as it is for
  3208. 1:52:32you and Tim.
  3209. 1:52:34Thank you.
  3210. 1:52:35All right. Thank you.
  3211. 1:52:36the work you're doing is helping a huge
  3212. 1:52:38huge amount of people to demystify these
  3213. 1:52:40subjects, which are so stigmatized and
  3214. 1:52:43seem to be so elusive and mysterious in
  3215. 1:52:44so many people's lives. The reason why I
  3216. 1:52:46have these conversations on the podcast
  3217. 1:52:48and invite people like you on is because
  3218. 1:52:49I'm trying to say the like quiet part
  3219. 1:52:51out loud.
  3220. 1:52:51Yeah.
  3221. 1:52:52This is going to be the Diary of a CEO,
  3222. 1:52:53and what would be in your diary? It
  3223. 1:52:54wouldn't just It wouldn't be P&Ls and
  3224. 1:52:56spreadsheets. It would be worries about
  3225. 1:52:58erectile dysfunction. It would be I'm
  3226. 1:53:00not having sex with my partner. It would
  3227. 1:53:02be how do I improve my sex life? What
  3228. 1:53:03the do I do with nipples? Like Kim
  3229. 1:53:05said. It would be these kinds of things.
  3230. 1:53:06And that's what you're do in your work
  3231. 1:53:07and you do it better than anybody. And
  3232. 1:53:09it's um honestly you're doing something
  3233. 1:53:11really amazing for other people. A lot
  3234. 1:53:12of people you'll never even get to see.
  3235. 1:53:13So on behalf of all of them and me,
  3236. 1:53:15thank you for what you do.
  3237. 1:53:16Thank you so much for giving me the
  3238. 1:53:18light so that I could help people. I
  3239. 1:53:21appreciate that.
  3240. 1:53:26I'm going to let you in to a little bit
  3241. 1:53:27of a secret. And you're probably going
  3242. 1:53:29to think that I'm a little bit weird for
  3243. 1:53:30saying this, but our team are our team
  3244. 1:53:33because we absolutely obsess about the
  3245. 1:53:35smallest things. Even with this podcast,
  3246. 1:53:37when we're recording this podcast, we
  3247. 1:53:38measure the CO2 levels in the studio
  3248. 1:53:40because if it gets above 1,000 parts per
  3249. 1:53:42million, cognitive performance dips.
  3250. 1:53:44This is the type of 1% improvement we
  3251. 1:53:46make on our show and that is why the
  3252. 1:53:48show is the way it is. By understanding
  3253. 1:53:50the power of compounding 1%s, you can
  3254. 1:53:53absolutely change your outcomes in your
  3255. 1:53:55life. It isn't about drastic
  3256. 1:53:57transformations or quick wins. It's
  3257. 1:53:59about the small, consistent actions that
  3258. 1:54:02have a lasting change in your outcomes.
  3259. 1:54:04So 2 years ago, we started the process
  3260. 1:54:06of creating this beautiful diary and
  3261. 1:54:08it's truly beautiful. Inside there's
  3262. 1:54:10lots of pictures, lots of inspiration
  3263. 1:54:12and motivation as well, some interactive
  3264. 1:54:14elements. And the purpose of this diary
  3265. 1:54:16is to help you identify, stay focused
  3266. 1:54:19on, develop consistency with the 1%s
  3267. 1:54:22that will ultimately change your life.
  3268. 1:54:24We're only going to do a limited run of
  3269. 1:54:25these diaries. So if you want one for
  3270. 1:54:26yourself or for a friend or for a
  3271. 1:54:28colleague or for your team, then head to
  3272. 1:54:29the diary.com right now. I'll link it
  3273. 1:54:32below.
