Podcasts about better sex

How do you really know if a woman is faking it in bed, and what can you do about it? Most women will admit they've faked an orgasm at some point. And the truth is, orgasmic behaviors like gasping, moaning, back-arching, dramatic reactions, even rhythmic contractions can all be performed. If all of that can be faked, how are you supposed to know what's real? In this Language of Love Bite, I break down the signs she may be faking it, why women do it, and how to shift from performative sex to intimacy that feels genuinely connected for both of you. Most men don't realize that when a woman fakes it, it's rarely about manipulation. I unpack what's really behind the “mercy fake.” It's not about you being bad in bed. It's about pressure, protection, and not knowing how to say no. But when faking becomes a pattern, real connection starts to erode. I also explain how real arousal is usually responsive and fluid, not scripted. When her reactions don't shift with what you're doing, when she rushes you to finish, or when her body feels tense and she seems emotionally distant afterward, those are signals worth paying attention to. I explore: Why 75% of women (and honestly, probably more) have faked it The biggest red flags that her responses are a performance How real arousal sounds and looks compared to going through the motions Body language signals that reveal disconnection Why faking it is emotionally exhausting and what that looks like afterward he one simple question that opens the door to honesty and better sex If this resonates, follow Language of Love on your favorite platform, send your questions or topic ideas to languageoflovepod@gmail.com, and visit my website.

What does your nervous system have to do with your sex life? More than you might think. In this episode, Dan sits down with nervous system specialist Morgan Starr-Riestis, who explains why feeling safe in your body is one of the most important ingredients for great intimacy. Many couples assume sexual problems are about technique, desire differences, or communication. But often the real issue is something deeper: our nervous systems are stuck in fight, flight, or shutdown. Morgan shares how our bodies are wired for safety, how dysregulation can show up in the bedroom, and why learning to regulate yourself can dramatically change your intimate connection. You'll learn: • Why safety is the foundation of pleasurable sex • The difference between actual safety vs perceived safety • How shame, pressure, and expectations dysregulate the body • Simple daily practices that help regulate your nervous system • Why trying too hard to orgasm can sometimes make it harder • How to identify the underlying need behind recurring relationship patterns Morgan also shares practical exercises couples can try right away to build safety and connection in everyday moments. If sex sometimes feels stressful, pressured, or emotionally loaded, this episode will help you understand what your body is trying to tell you—and how to work with it instead of against it. You can find Morgan on all socials with the handle @mind.psy.guidance Resources and Events: We invite you to explore our Get Your Marriage On coaching program.

We dive deep into how our upbringings shape our comfort around sex and why having open conversations around it is so important. Vanessa & Xander break down the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why mismatched libidos are totally normal, and how pleasure should be at the center of our sex lives. We get real about navigating sex after kids, using toys, and why foreplay doesn't just start in the bedroom. Vanessa and Xander share practical tips on initiating sex, communicating needs with your partner, and the positions that actually work best.Key Takeaway / Points:What libido mismatch really means (and why it's normal)The different types of sexual desire (spontaneous vs. responsive)Practical ways to initiate sex and navigate rejection from your partnerHow couples can reconnect even during “survival mode” as parentsThe role of toys and romance novels in your sex lifeSex beyond intercourse and the importance of focusing on pleasureWhy faking orgasms is so common amongst womenVanessa & Xander's take on scheduled sex and why it can be healthy for couplesHow foreplay starts in the kitchenQuickie sex questions: favorite positions, time of day, music vs. silence, and moreLink to the Tabu pillow HERE, use code PILLOWTALKS for 10% offUltimate foreplay guide HEREUltimate sex guide HEREListen to their podcast Pillow Talks HEREFollow Vanessa & Xander:Instagram: @vanessaandxanderTikTok: @vanessaandxanderWebsite: vmtherapy.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYoutube: Cameron Rogers

When a couple can meet each other with non-judgmental empathy, it draws you closer to each other. Nobody is shamed, questioned or put down and it leads to a deeper intimacy.This is the power of mutual vulnerability and it's one of the bedrocks of a healthy marriage (and sex life).But most people don't do a very good job at it! (which makes sense- who taught us how???)In today's podcast episode, my husband and I explored this topic, sharing what we were taught about vulnerability, offering a role-play of what to do (and not to do), and practical tips on responding to vulnerability effectively.If you thought new sex positions were the key to hot sex, think again! Mutual vulnerability leads to safety and you can't get sexier than safety!I hope you enjoy this feel-good episode

Have you ever wondered if semen volume actually matters or if it's just another myth men worry about when dealing with erectile dysfunction?In this episode, you'll get a deeper look into the realities behind male sexual health. Discover the hidden factors that can influence erections, why semen volume may not matter as much as many men think, and how everyday habits can impact your performance over time. The conversation also explores practical ways men can begin improving their sexual health naturally, along with insights that might challenge common assumptions.Tune in now to learn what could be standing between you and better sexual health.--------------Key TakeawaysSemen volume is often a concern for men, but there is little evidence that it significantly matters to women during intimacy.The prostate plays a major role in semen production, and natural prostate enlargement with age can affect semen volume.Stress and performance anxiety can negatively impact both semen volume and erectile dysfunction.Hydration, sleep quality, and hormone levels all influence male sexual health and ejaculation.Nitric oxide and vitamin D may support better blood flow and hormone balance related to erectile dysfunction.Following a Mediterranean-style diet can improve cardiovascular health, which directly supports stronger erections.Regular exercise, even simple walking, can significantly improve erectile dysfunction by enhancing blood circulation.Getting at least seven hours of sleep helps your body produce testosterone and recover physically and mentally.Managing stress through techniques like meditation or box breathing can help support erectile health.Improving erectile dysfunction naturally requires consistent lifestyle changes and patience, often taking several months to see results.--------------Resources mentioned:Modern Man CribMediterranean DietGood Morning Wood SmoothieRenew with Dr. Anne--------------Curious about how you can boost your bedroom game and build lasting confidence?

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Rob Kancler is the founder of Men of Substance, a program and community built on one uncomfortably honest premise: most men have been handed a broken map of human sexuality, and until they get a new one, nothing they try is going to work the way they need it to. He is a men's intimacy coach, a student of ancient erotic traditions, somatic healing, yogic science, and evolutionary biology — and one of the clearest, most grounded voices working today on what conscious masculine sexuality actually looks like in practice. If you don't tend to your sex life — really tend to it, with skill and honesty and the right information — you may never feel whole. Not because sex is everything. But because the suppression and the shame and the settling cost you a piece of yourself you can't get back any other way.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSThe two neurologically distinct arousal pathways in women, why most men only ever discover one, and what lives inside the third pathway almost nobody reachesWhy peak orgasm is the depletion of what drives the sexual impulse — not its completion — and what the road looks like when men finally stop getting off at exit twoThe male loneliness epidemic inside the bedroom: why 15% of men have zero close friends, why tribe is biological infrastructure, and how isolation is quietly destroying men's sex lives and relationshipsThe pelvic floor dysfunction conversation — what's causing it, what makes it worse, and the honest debate between Leah and Rob on vibrators, quick fixes, and what actually healsTerry Real's "loving firmness," what women's responsibility looks like in all of this, and why Rob says understanding how to open a woman is ultimately in every man's selfish best interestGET ALL OF THE RESOURCES, LINKS, BLOG, AND THE FULL VIDEO AND AUDIO VERSIONS OF THIS EPISODE > HEREROOTED IN DESIRE.

If you are struggling with the orgasm gap in your relationship or want to learn exactly what makes your partner tick, you will learn why mutual masturbation closes the orgasm gap completely, how to bring it up without awkwardness, and the specific techniques that make it hot instead of weird. Learn why almost half of couples are already doing this and how it creates a visual playbook for her pleasure. Whether you are single and dating or in a long-term relationship, this practice will transform your sex life. Stop guessing what she wants. Start watching her show you.  

How do you become the kind of lover she brags about to her best friend? What actually makes someone unforgettable in bed? If you want to drive a woman wild (or you're a woman who wants to share a guide for doing so with your partner) this episode is for you! In this Language of Love Bite, we explore what women really remember and talk about when sex feels amazing. Because the truth is, being the lover she brags about has far less to do with performance, and everything to do with presence, generosity, and emotional intelligence. This episode breaks down the subtle but powerful ways your energy, attention, and responsiveness shape the entire experience. From how you look at her, to how you listen to her body, to how you stay connected even after sex is over, these are the things that make intimacy linger in her mind and body long after the moment ends. We explore: The top three things women actually brag about after great sex Why presence and eye contact can be more powerful than technique How generosity builds desire and trust The role of emotional intelligence in unforgettable intimacy The 70/30 giving-to-receiving ratio that creates connection How reading her body and adapting in the moment deepens pleasure Why staying present after sex seals the experience emotionally If this resonates, follow Language of Love on your favorite platform, send your questions or topic ideas to languageoflovepod@gmail.com, and visit my website.

Send a textFirmTech's mission is  better sexual health for everyone with smart wearables that provide the vital signs of their most vital organ.. The company's first phase of innovative products focuses on keeping men fit and firm for a lifetime of lovemaking. Men and their physicians need objective and personal data so  men can avoid ED, and if they have it, stop its progression and potentially reverse it. Dr. Justin and his FirmTech team have developed and marketed the TechRing, a transformative erection ring to help men optimize personal “erectile fitness,” and to inspire better erectile and cardiovascular health through engaging with objective data about their sexual health. Urologists call the penis the “canary in the coal mine” of cardiovascular health. Website: https://myfirmtech.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/myfirmtech/X (Twitter): https://x.com/myfirmtechLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elliot-justin-md/What if your bedroom could be as measurable as your morning run? We sit down with Dr. Justin Early, emergency physician turned telehealth pioneer and CEO of FirmTech, to explore how a smart erection ring turns sexual performance into objective data—and why those numbers can double as an early warning for cardiovascular risk. No more guesswork, vague labels, or one‑size‑fits‑all pills; this conversation lays out a clear path to sexual fitness you can actually track.We unpack why the traditional ED diagnosis fails most people by grouping different problems together, and we look at how short clinic visits, insurance incentives, and subjective questionnaires leave patients without meaningful guidance. Instead, we walk through the core metrics that matter—nocturnal erection frequency, firmness, duration, and detumescence—and reveal a surprising insight from the world's largest erection dataset: for many men without severe disease, nocturnal firmness holds steady far longer than expected. The real issue for most aging men is blood leak, not lack of inflow.

Do you know the brain is a woman's main sexual organ? So how do you unlock her mind before you try to turn on her body? Because even when everything seems “right,” she still might not be in the mood.  In this Language of Love Bite, we're talking about why emotional and psychological safety are the real gateways to female arousal. Because if a woman doesn't feel seen, connected, and at ease, her body simply won't follow no matter how much effort you put in physically. I break down how women experience desire differently than men, why stress and emotional disconnection shut down arousal, and how engaging her mind first can completely transform your sexual experience and sex life together. You'll also hear the exact kind of compliments that actually build intimacy (hint: it's not just about her looks), simple ways to check in before initiating touch, and how to create anticipation long before you're in the bedroom. And yes, I share one powerful sentence you can say right before intimacy that helps a woman relax, trust, and truly open to pleasure. This isn't about techniques or performance. It's about presence, attunement, and making her feel safe enough to let go. We explore: Why women are turned on mentally before they're turned on physically The difference between spontaneous and responsive desire How emotional safety unlocks deeper arousal What compliments actually turn women on and why surface praise often misses the mark How to use “mental foreplay” to help her unwind instead of perform Subtle texts and energetic cues that build desire throughout the day One simple line that communicates trust, care, and connection before sex If you're ready to deepen intimacy and experience sex as truly connected and expansive, explore my free Quantum Sex course. It's designed to help you elevate pleasure and create deeper emotional connection. For a deeper dive, my book Sex Magic invites you to reimagine desire, intimacy, and self-worth, transforming sex into something conscious, sacred, and deeply nourishing. Sex should feel like coming home to yourself. You can also take the free quiz on my website to uncover what may be blocking intimacy and explore 7 Days to Better Sex to start actively creating the passion and connection you desire.

You could be having better sex and the science explains why, not because you're broken or doing something wrong, but because most of us were never taught how desire actually works or how intimacy evolves over time. Instead, we're handed myths, silence, and a lot of quiet frustration.In this conversation, we explore why great sex is not something that just happens, but something you can learn, practice, and grow into at any stage of life. We talk about desire, pleasure, communication, midlife shifts, and how letting go of shame opens the door to intimacy that feels more alive, connected, and satisfying.Dr. Nicole McNichols is an internationally renowned human sexuality professor at the University of Washington, where her course The Diversity of Human Sexuality is the most popular in the school's history. She is also the author of You Could Be Having Better Sex, out February 3.In this episode, you'll discoverA simple mindset shift that makes sex more fulfilling over timeWhy novelty matters more than frequency and how to add it without pressureThe overlooked role pleasure plays in mental health and resilienceWhat actually helps desire return in long-term relationshipsA healthier way to talk about sex that builds trust and connectionIf sex has started to feel confusing, disconnected, or quietly disappointing, this episode offers a grounded, research-backed way forward.

“The gym can be a very scary place.”Ever been intimidated by the idea of working out -- and in particular, lifting weights? Then you're in very good company. Fortunately, as fitness expert Mike Bledsoe puts it, "95% of people in the gym are also insecure."Here we delve right into both the insecurity (and how to overcome it), as well as why Bledsoe, who has trained professional athletes, Navy SEALs, and other fitness experts, prefers to work with beginners.We talk about how to naturally boost your T levels (easier than you think!), the specific way our physical bodies store our "stuff" (and how to move it), and how to get started if you're not sure what to do first.We also touch on questions like:Is keto really worth it? (What should you actually pay attention to in nutrition trends?)How do you safely start lifting weights (without injuring yourself), especially if you're over 50?How do you best integrate from deep emotional release work (including psychedelics) in a physical way?What kind of stretches are best?---Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

In this candid and intimate episode, Lauren and Trey explore the idea of sexual currency and how consistent deposits into a partner's sexual bank account can transform intimacy in long-term relationships. They share the story of a magical sexual encounter they had the night before and talk about why it was only possible because Trey had been investing in Lauren's sexual bank account for the past 4 to 6 weeks.They revisit the rough menstrual cycle documented earlier in the season and talk about the way Lauren has been shedding an old version of herself. Trey's patience, curiosity, and willingness to give her the space she needs have helped her feel more attracted, more connected, and more open to erotic exploration.Together they break down the specific investments that made the difference. Curious questions. Protecting Lauren's alone time. Mutual masturbation and how they make it work. Words of affirmation. Compliments. Acts of service, including Trey laundering Lauren's period underwear. And the impact of Trey not complaining, sulking, or pressuring Lauren when her capacity for sex shifted.They also share a recent moment where Trey offered Lauren feedback and she tried a new technique of listening as a friend instead of as someone who needed to defend herself. That shift made a deposit in Trey's sexual bank account and created more emotional space and helped deepen their connection.Lauren and Trey talk about how when women say they do not want sex - they are talking about the boring kind of sex. The type of sex women actually want is sex that feels safe, secure, connected, and adventurous. They describe why last night's sex is the kind most couples dream about and how it becomes possible through emotional investment, clear communication, and trust.Lauren also shares her favorite Maude vibrator, the VIBE: https://getmaude.com/SEFY?q=vibe-personal-massagerIf you want to learn how to make meaningful deposits into your partner's sexual bank account, you can request a free consult at: www.sexedforyou.com/freeconsultIf this episode supports you, please like, share, and subscribe.Ideal for couples in long-term partnerships who want deeper intimacy, more desire, and better sex.About Us: Lauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia where Lauren owns and operates, SEX ED FOR YOU.

INTRODUCING: WIth All Due Respect This podcast is part of the Hope Media production. Less aggro, more conversation. Is it even possible to have a deep discussion without it descending into chaos? Michael Jensen and Megan Powell du Toit think yes, and want to show the rest of us how to do it. There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible. This episode has been one of the highest listened to episodes in the WADR catalogue! With schoolies ongoing as well as the holiday season just over the horizon, we'd like to replay this ep and to stir some thought and discussion. Discuss!? Glad you asked - head to our WADR group here on Facebook! In this episode, the WADR team talk about how to have better sex. No, this is not Megan and Michael's opportunity to present the evangelical version of the karma sutra. Rather, they want to talk about the ways Christianity has got sex right - or a lot of the time wrong - and what can be done better for everyone's sake. First up, Megan and Michael invite on to the show the co-author of the influential Christian book The Great Sex Rescue, Sheila Wray Gregoire. Sheila shares what she and her co-authors discovered when they talked to 22,000 Christian women. Then the WADR duo talk about the Australian #metoo moment and what they think about consent education. Finally, we finish the show with the film Give Me Sex Jesus, a title that sells itself. And consider this your warning. This episode is talking about sex, so it is definitely for mature audiences.LINKSFollow this link to check out Sheila's book, The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended, by Sheila Wray Gregoire, psychology graduate Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach and epidemiologist and statistician Joanna Sawatsky.You can watch Give Me Sex Jesus for free on Vimeo - it's a Staff Pick!Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s plenty of things they disagree on: free will, feminism, where you should send your kids to school and what type of church you should go to. But there are also plenty of other things that they have in common. They want to talk about all these things with conviction. But they also want the conversation to be constructive. Tune in to find out if that’s possible. This episode has been one of the highest listened to episodes in the WADR catalogue! With schoolies ongoing as well as the holiday season just over the horizon, we'd like to replay this ep and to stir some thought and discussion. Discuss!? Glad you asked - head to our WADR group here on Facebook! In this episode, the WADR team talk about how to have better sex. No, this is not Megan and Michael's opportunity to present the evangelical version of the karma sutra. Rather, they want to talk about the ways Christianity has got sex right - or a lot of the time wrong - and what can be done better for everyone's sake. First up, Megan and Michael invite on to the show the co-author of the influential Christian book The Great Sex Rescue, Sheila Wray Gregoire. Sheila shares what she and her co-authors discovered when they talked to 22,000 Christian women. Then the WADR duo talk about the Australian #metoo moment and what they think about consent education. Finally, we finish the show with the film Give Me Sex Jesus, a title that sells itself. And consider this your warning. This episode is talking about sex, so it is definitely for mature audiences.LINKSFollow this link to check out Sheila's book, The Great Sex Rescue: The Lies You've Been Taught and How to Recover What God Intended, by Sheila Wray Gregoire, psychology graduate Rebecca Gregoire Lindenbach and epidemiologist and statistician Joanna Sawatsky.You can watch Give Me Sex Jesus for free on Vimeo - it's a Staff Pick!Support the show, a product of Hope Media: https://hope1032.com.au/donate/2211A-pod/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We get real about the everyday habits silently blocking this molecule, like mouthwash, fluoride, antacids, sugar, and an over-sterilized environment. We also talk about what restoring nitric oxide can do for your energy, clarity, stamina, and long-term health.   "There's only two people in the world who need nitric oxide. There's the people who are sick and wanna get well, and there's the people who are well and don't wanna get sick." ~ Dr. Nathan Bryan   In This Episode: - What is nitric oxide? - Why Viagra doesn't work for 50% of men - Ways to increase nitric oxide - Symptoms of nitric oxide deficiency - The age related decline in nitric oxide production - How heavy metals and toxins scavenge nitric oxide - How to naturally restore nitric oxide - Dr. Bryan's nitric oxide lozenge and skincare - The problem with beets, and oxalates in vegetables  - How often to take nitric oxide lozenge   Products & Resources Mentioned: N1O1 Nitric Oxide Supplements: Lower pressure, sharper energy, youthful glow.

Lauren reveals fascia: the communication network your body uses to record trauma, send arousal signals, and feel everything. Medical schools in the 1900s threw it away as "packing wrap" without studying it. Now we know it's your sixth sense, and when it's congested, you age faster and feel less. A woman with a tilted uterus faces sudden stabbing pain with her well-endowed partner after a decade of great sex—discover why the diagnosis isn't the whole story. Someone's tried every technique for premature ejaculation with zero results—learn why most solutions create the opposite effect and what pro athletes know about lasting longer. A post-menopausal woman on hormones still bleeds during painful sex—hear which ancient practices work when Western medicine falls short. Lauren teaches the reverse Kegel (why opening beats squeezing), how stress clenches your pelvic floor without you knowing, why Brazilians walk differently than Westerners and what that reveals about sexual energy, and the breathing pattern that pumps toxins from your brain while awakening sensation below. If pain during sex, premature ejaculation, or post-menopausal dryness have stumped your doctors, this reveals what they're missing. Timestamps: 0:00 - Intro 1:16 - What is Fascia?
