In this episode, Anne Bland discusses the 4B movement from South Korea that focuses on autonomy, self-respect, and self-empowerment. The 4B movement stands for four ‘no's: no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, and no sexual relationships with men until women have the same rights and opportunities as men. But this isn't just about saying ‘no'; it's about saying ‘yes' to living life on one's own terms, creating space for true happiness, liberation, and fulfilment. After the presidential elections, 4B (and 5B, 6B and 7B) movement has gained momentum in the USA where women's sexual health rights are in jeopardy. Anne explores how the 4B movement's message of radical autonomy aligns with Selfishly Happy Revolution and how reclaiming pleasure can become a powerful, positive force.Anne explains what it means to embrace autonomy and pleasure in a world that often prioritises economic productivity and performance over self-care and conformity over individuality. Drawing on concepts from Tantra and therapeutic self-empowerment, this episode speaks to anyone ready to embrace a life that aligns with their deepest values, regardless of gender.What's Covered in This Episode?Understanding the 4B Movement: Its origins, principles, and what it represents for self-empowerment.Moving Beyond the Dominance Model: How societal "dominance model" coined by Dr Riane Eisler impacts personal autonomy and the relevance of challenging it today.Selfishly Happy Revolution: Why autonomy and pleasure are empowering choices that can redefine well-being.Concrete Steps to Embrace Autonomy: Practical ways to bring autonomy and pleasure into everyday life, including:• Rethinking consumer habits and addressing the pink tax• Supporting women-owned businesses• Reclaiming pleasure and self-connection as paths to well-being5. Three Transformative Practices: Grounding Breath, Heart-Centred Visualisation, and Emotion-Naming Body Scan to help listeners reconnect with themselves and process emotions in a healthy, empowered way.Key Takeaways• The 4B movement isn't about rejecting relationships but about prioritising self-respect, well-being, and authentic connection for a period of time.• Embracing autonomy and pleasure allows each person to break free from societal expectations that don't align with their true values.• Simple practices can help reconnect with oneself, redefine relationships, and find greater happiness and fulfilment.Call to ActionAnne encourages listeners to reflect on where they might be saying ‘yes' out of obligation rather than joy. Could you start choosing what brings happiness and peace instead? This episode guides listeners in taking concrete steps toward a life that's Selfishly Happy: avoid the "pink tax", support women- and ethnic minority-owned businesses, and celebratete pleasure as a path to well-being.Connect with AnneIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others for more episodes on empowerment, self-discovery, and pleasure.

PART 1. There is an interesting phenomena that Anne Bland has noticed recently in such an extend that she felt it required, not just one, but two part episode. In the dating world that encourages one-night stands, Tantric circles, ethical non-monogamous, and polyamory situations, Anne has learned that women can feel broken. In this 2-part episode, she discusses how the pressures of "being empowered in sex and sexuality" - which in so many words means casual sex - can lead women to feel disconnected and guilty, and many have used the phrase: "Am I somehow broken...?"The female biochemistry, especially the "happy hormones" kick in after sex more than in male bodies and can make women less ablet o detach emotionally. Anne also discusses how Tantra explains this through Yin and Yang, the opposite energy poles, in male and female bodies and how it can cause women to feel these unnecessary negative emotions.If you feel like this or have any questions please contact Anne below.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy

We haven't been taught about relationships and how to become happy in couplehood. There isn't an MBA for Relationships - and there really should be. Sometimes it is just about learning the tools and having a roadmap to co-create a beautiful, loving, healing, and sexy relationship. Anne Bland shares her experience from her Tantric retreat for couples and celebrates the conscious coupling where partners can grow and heal far better than when alone, proving that both parties are willing to do the work. Relationships are big trigger points that bring light to the shadow parts that were established due to childhood unmet needs. Becoming self-aware of these and having support is the first step in having great relationships. Safety is paramount in any relationship and if you do not feel safe at all levels, please reach out for help and make sure you are safe.

In this episode, Anne Bland follows on the discussion of differences between the opposite energy poles of male and female bodies and how a man can become a better lover.

In this episode, Anne Bland suggests a different, more "yin way", for men to experience pleasure based on receiving and surrendering. She discusses the different energy poles of the male and female genitalia and hearts and how they have impacted the way conventional sex is portrayed and understood in society. A man's genitalia being yang, it can be challenging for men to be a receiver of pleasure and because of the cultural conditioning it is easy to confuse the energies with the gender roles. Despite these issues, Anne claims that the way to a man's heart is, not through his stomach, but through his penis. This is based on the Taoist understanding of the different energy poles of the body. Finally, Anne suggests that a soft penetration can be extremely liberating and one of the most exquisite and loving experiences of pleasure because it balances the polar opposite genital energies.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee

Anne Bland shares in this episode how the Taoist tradition understands genitalia from an energetic point of view: the female genitalia is more Yin and the male genitalia more Yang and what that means during turn-on, arousal and penetration.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee

(NB. Trigger warning about childhood sexual trauma and child marriage) This is a coaching-style episode that starts with Anne Bland and her guest, Francy, catching up with Francy's sexual healing journey over the last six months when they first met on the "Life With Francy" podcast. For the first time, on that episode, Francy shared publically about her childhood sexual trauma by her biological father and her child marriage when she was only 14. Having been culturally conditioned that pleasure is only for a man and it's a woman's duty to serve their needs, Francy has come a long way and now talks about mental health and her polyamory on her podcast, providing hope and a roadmap that things can be different. At the end of the episode, Anne guides Francy through a process of re-wiring her nervous system into calmness when it comes to pleasure in the midst of two conflicting cultures: those of Puerto Rico and the USA. If you feel triggered by this story please reach out for help. You can also email Anne to see if you want to come on the Asking for a Friend episode or to explore private coaching. Please note that if you have an active trauma, Anne is not a medical professional or a trauma coach and you are encouraged to seek professional trauma help.

(NB. Trigger warning of childhood sexual abuse) The listeners have been asking for Anne Bland's personal story about why she started Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others podcast and Tantric Sex Coaching. In this episode, Anne is finally ready to get vulnerable and talk about her personal healing story which has been traumatic and painful but also full of love and light, pleasure and connection. This journey has made Anne who she is today and the way she can hold space for her coaching clients in a safe and strong way. As Anne says: "Healing is hard work and that's why we need a Pleasure Path to go with it!" Selfishly Happy Revolution is about becoming more of you, not less. It also means feeling all the feelings, even if they are painful, to release trauma from the body and to bring "all of you" into integration and alignment. As a trauma-informed coach, Anne emphasises the good news: " Because trauma lives in the body at the nervous system level, it can always be re-wired through pleasure into healing. Humans are designed to be resilient - we just need to know how to do it."

In this episode, Anne Bland is joined by Franziska Amoris to discuss whether size matters in sex. They cover the topic from both the penis and vagina/vulva points of view. Does size matter in sexual intercourse or anal play? What is the impact of the uniform image of "the porn pussy" on women's self-confidence? They are inviting more acceptance of diversity and connection to one's own genitalia - whatever it looks like. Franziska referred to episode 04: How To Make My Partner Want Sex with Me? when she discussed different ways people have turn-ons and how they are sexually aroused.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee

How do you self-pleasure? How do you masturbate? Is Tantric self-pleasure different from the "normal" one? Anne Bland shares her ideas for Tantric self-pleasure in this episode - whether you want to do it on a mountaintop or on a train! Many mistakenly think that Tantric self-pleasure is to go slow and have incense and candles, but it can also be a Tantric quickie. The difference is mindfulness and going intentionally without any guilt or shame. Tantra can also be about the flow between the yang type of arousal where there's a lot of excitement and the yin type of relaxing into pleasure. Alternating these opposing energies can take you into blissful and orgasmic states that can re-wire your nervous system for new pleasure. This week's invitation for long-term listeners: go to Apple Podcasts and leave a review with your favourite episode of the show so far and why you liked it.

"What is your secret pleasure?" Anne Bland asked on her Instagram @selfishlyhappywithannebland story - and people answered: massage, knitting, binge-watching, body-to-body contact, slow foreplay, observing a woman's body, and breast massage amongst others! Based on Anne's philosophy of Selfishly Happy Revolution, there's no guilt in pleasure that doesn't harm anyone else. In fact, it should be celebrated! There is science behind pleasure. Happy hormones such as endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin get released and your parasympathetic nervous system relaxes into bliss and ecstasy when you go fully into something pleasurable. NB.

"If you always do what interests you at least one person is pleased," Katherine Hepburn said wisely. You cannot please everyone, so why not please yourself? Selfishly Happy Revolution is all about becoming aware of your own needs and desires and taking responsibility to meet them. In this episode, Anne Bland shares what helps her to start the mornings either with bursting energy or with calm peace, whichever in her body feels most needed. Laughter Yoga and Deep Inner Smile are ancient practices that have either a parasympathetic or sympathetic nervous system response - putting you in charge of your hormones, emotions, and your mornings! But life is really a balancing act between self-care and serving others. First, self-awareness coupled with self-mastery of holistic Tantric tools will lead to more happiness, pleasure, and peace, and to the ability to express yourself more authentically in the world. Knowing when to say NO and how to use negative thinking are important life skills that will make transformation and external change possible.

Summer vacations can be stressful and can leave you wanting to have another holiday just to recover from the first one! According to research, vacations can also increase depression and trigger relationship break-ups. And why do we degenerate into being children again and react to others in a way that we regret? Anne Bland shares her five Tantric Tips on how to enjoy happy holidays whether you are a solo traveler, have a vacation with a lover, or have multigenerational holidays. They are, firstly, being more and doing less in your holiday; secondly, breathing by concentrating on your exhale if you feel anxious, sad, or triggered; thirdly, self-pleasuring and taking "me-time" to look after your own pleasure, energy, and happiness; fourthly, getting into the flow states by going outside your comfort zone; and fifthly, getting bored with others so that you can flourish, thrive, and have fun.

Creating a "couple bubble" is a practice that will help your relationship to thrive and become sustainable. You can do this by learning what your lover's love language is.

By doing that, you are showing that you know them, accept and honour them and love them the way they are. Have you got joint morning and evening rituals that strengthen your relationship even if the other one is a morning person and the other one is a night owl?

A listener asks: "Why do I cry during sex? My partner is so upset because he thinks he's hurting me. But he's not! Why do I cry? What can I do?" Anne Bland discusses emotions during sex and how liberating, energising, and very normal they are. Did you know that emotions and feelings are different and not synonyms? Emotions tend to be suppressed and based on past experiences. They can become dramatic, destructive, and unkind due to the unexpressed nature of them. They are based on the ego and have pain and shame attached to them. However, feelings are felt consciously in the present moment, and they tend to be more vulnerable, authentic, and heartfelt. Bringing consciousness into emotions helps to express them and connect with yourself and your partner. Being able to cry during sex is therefore worth a celebration! Safety of the lover and the feel-good hormones such as dopamine and oxytocin help to bring anything that has been suppressed to the surface. Crying helps to liberate energy because suppression takes so much effort and can cause exhaustion and burnout. Men are also invited to bravely express their own feelings to magnetise and sensitise their genitalia for more presence and to hold a safe space for their partners to model conscious feelings. There is a trigger warning as Anne discusses the abuse of female bodies due to their physical vulnerability and how to deal with it. As the previous listerner requested Anne is finishing this episode with a meditation which si also a taster of the future private podcast called Pleasure Quest.

Anne Bland gets curious about what is a "modern man." What does it look like to be a man in his power as a leader in society and in relationships sexually as well? What does it mean to be a conscious, spiritually awakened, and very sexy man? Anne invites Mikey Brackett to discuss what the "modern man" looks like and why the "Warrior archetype" can be, from the Jungian Psychology point of view, harmful to men and their loved ones. The Warrior is part of four main masculine archetypes. The other three are the King, The Magician, and the Lover. The Warrior can become overly protective and dominating when it is compensating the fear of not being enough which is the core wound most men have. Once these archetypes are integrated fully into a man's psyche, on his spiritual quest he can embody each one of them in a way that brings hope, celebration, curiosity and openness, love and connection to the relationships and to the world. The book Mikey mentions is "King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine" by Robert Moore. www.mikeybrackett.com ---Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee

What is Tantric coaching? What happens in the sessions? Is there nudity? Anne Bland shares how she approaches Tantric coaching in her private practice. The coaching container that she creates is accepting and welcoming where it is safe to explore issues and desires linked to sex, love, and relationships. Her methodology is gentle but transformative using embodiment, meditative, and pleasure processes, including the seven holistic sex tools such as breathwork and movement. Anne loves 'prescribing' juicy and fun home-play and daily action to consolidate the learning in between the sessions. Anne also shares what kind of results Tantric coaching can have, highlighting two very different case studies, one of a man and one of a woman.

In this first coaching-style episode Anne Bland puts her expertise to the test and does 30 minutes of free Tantric sex and relationship coaching on one question or desire that a guest brings to her. Very bravely Elikqitie showed up with an issue that her friends as a couple are facing: how to talk about sex with an introverted partner. Anne has seen in her coaching practice that a lack of honest and authentic communication is one of the main issues couples have when it comes to sex. It can stem from, for instance, fear of intimacy and vulnerability or not wanting to hurt the partner's feelings or ego. Anne's Tantric Sex Tip number one is to increase the level of intimacy and heart-based connection by creating a safe space where communication can happen without judgment, criticism, or the need to spring into action and fix anything. In Tantra there are no negative and positive emotions or things, they just are. Speaking as honestly and vulnerably as possible is the second Tantric Sex Tip and listening deeply and fully is the third. Anne also shared other Tantric Sex Tips, for instance, what is the simplest and least time-consuming way to increase intimacy, the 'Two-Minute Daily Eye Gazing', and how to spice up the usual ways of having sex by taking turns in preparing the 'Weekly Sex Date Nights.'

Anne Bland discusses the importance of the 6th Tantric sex tool, movement, in your life, and especially, in your sexual life. There is a variety of erotic movements that leads to liberation, connection, and increased life force both within you and with your partner, even if there has been trauma, disconnection, and numbness. Movement is your arousal trampoline! Both external and internal movement... How do you move? Are you aware? What if you changed it? How would it feel? And 'that' is not just about... "humping"! What about grinding, rocking, slow and shallow thrusting - and even staying still? Anne also shares an ancient Chinese Tantric Tip, a practice called Jade Egg Pleasure for women and pussy-owned bodies, and why pelvic floor health is crucial for enjoyable sex life and brings so much happiness, pleasure, and multiple and varied ways of orgasming.

Anne Bland and Franziska Amoris continue their ‘fireside sharing' on the topic of Tantric Touch, including the Pussy and Penis Massages. As Anne says: “Penises don't get enough right kind of attention.” Healing through touch can help individuals to finish their stress and trauma cycles in a safe way and have more freedom from pain. It can also bring liberation from performance anxiety, give relaxation, help to access love, deep satisfaction, and nourishment. But when is a touch not okay? Where are the boundaries and how to achieve consent? What might be some of the cultural conditionings and practices about touch in different cultures? And what did you think of Dalai Lama's “suck my tongue” incident? In this rich episode, there was also a little teaser for future episodes about orgasming. What, for instance, is a male orgasm about? Not ejaculation, argues Anne. Do subscribe and get notifications when the next episode gets released.

In this part 1, you'll learn how to touch in a Tantric way when having a solo or partnered sexual play. In this rich episode, Anne Bland and Franziska Amoris talk about the healing touch of Tantra and how it can help you to (re)connect with your body and get out of your thinking mind. You will also hear how Franziska uses 'non-touch of Tantra', i.e., energetic touch, to get off! What is energetic touch and can you really have an orgasm without touching? Finally, you will learn in detail what are the most important things to know about Pussy Massage, such as creating safety, how to use complements, the importance of lubrication and boundaries, and the difference between Pussy Massage as a Tantric Practice and foreplay. And did you know that all humans share the same genitalia parts up to 7th week of pregnancy when they just get organised differently? Penis and Pussy are the same genitalia but some parts have developed in a different way... Subscribe to get notified when part 2 of Tantric Touch is alive!

"I'll have what she's having!" exclaimed a woman at the next table to Meg Ryan when she, as Sally, faked an orgasm 34 years ago in the classic movie "When Harry Met Sally." And why not?! We'd all want a bit of what she was having. Sexual sounding is very much linked to orgasm and that of a woman. Yet, 80% of women say they have faked an orgasm, just like Sally. Based on studies women mainly fake orgasms and pleasure to either make their partners feel good about themselves or to make the intercourse finish quicker... Either way, not a very snapshot of the state of sexual affairs. In this episode Anne Bland shares good news: Tantra doesn't focus on orgasms. By practicing Tantra and mastering the holistic Tantric Sex Tools, such as Sounding, will help you to feel orgasmic states and more pleasure. Especially for men, Sounding can be very liberating and allow them to circulate sexual energy away from the genitalia to allow for more full-bodied pleasures and to last longer.

Would you like to be coached for free by Anne Bland? You can on her podcast! Anne is launching a new coaching-styled episode called "Asking for a Friend." Instead of asking for yourself, you might like to be "asking for a friend" about sex, love and relationships? If you have friends that are too shy, embarrassed, or busy to ask about Tantric Sex themselves, you could do it for them! Just like Amanda who came on the show in this episode and asked for her friends about the physical signs of sexual arousal in female and male bodies; why would someone feel numb, not connected to their body, and not turned on; and finally, if age affects the sexual arousal (the answer to the latter might surpised you!). If you'd like to ask for a friend - or indeed, for yourself and to be coached! - please apply by emailing to annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com. This session is going to be about one question, goal or desire that you bring to the episode which will last for maximum for 30 minutes. You don't have to use your own name and can give a pseudoname. The episode will not be launched as a video, only as an audio episode to protect your privacy and anonyminity. If you'd like to explore individual or couple's online coaching with Anne Bland please email annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com. Please note that Anne Bland is not a medical professional and coaching episodes are meant to be fun, educational, inspiring, and empowering.

Have you noticed any patterns in your relationships? The way you are attracted to similar types of partners? Or the way you show up as a lover and the way you have sex? Well, it may have lots to do with how you were loved as a child and what models of relationships you had with your parents. Attachement styles can help you to make sense what's going on in your relationships and in the bedroom. On a personal level, this episode proved to be a bit emotional towards the end for the host Anne Bland (initially the anxious attachement style) and for her guests Angélique Braise (initially the avoidant attachment style) and Amanda Tonna (the disorganised attachement style) because of the realisation how much self-development had already been done to gain the more secured attachement style - where it's okay, not to be okay.

“Too much of a good thing can be wonderful,” said Mae West, a Hollywood Star. In this episode, Anne Bland invites Franziska Amoris back on this Tantri Sex show and they are joined by Lady Jin to discuss turn-on and arousal - and "how to make my partner want me more" or "to want to have more sex with me" as Anne was asked on her monthly live Q&A on Instagram. Yet, pleasure is so much more than just penetration and intercourse! Relationships, bodies, and things that make us turned on change over time. Curiosity and exploration, being open to new ways to pleasure are called for. The main thing is to become your own best lover first! Do you know what truly turns you on? Or are you tempted to do the same familiar thing when it comes to arousal, pleasure, and sex? In the end, Anne Bland shares Tantric Sex Tips for re-igniting your sex life in a long-term relationship.

Sex and sexuality are not discussed openly. If you lived in a healthy society that embraced sexuality and celebrated it, what would it look like? Anne Bland shares her vision for "5 Stages of Tantric Sexuality" in an ideal culture. The first one is reclaiming the Innocence of your pleasure. The second is Playfulness and the third is about Pleasuring. The fourth Honouring and the fifth is Sacredness of sex. Anne also reflects on the discussions with Franziska and Amanda in episode two about their Tantric Sex Journey - and proposes a new word for 'courageous' to match the braveness of 'the balls': VULVACIOUS.
