Send us a textOn this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we talk power and perpetration. With yet another “Wellness Guru” outing himself as a Peter Pan narcissist, we are forced to ask what is going on that so many especially female bodies are victims of systems of power over -that diminish the feminine in the world. We talk about what is consent, what is delusion, discernment, and on and on. This episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING, we talk about adult topics including SA, and use adult language. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auokDp_EA80 Coaches: Kim Moranhttps://www.kimmorancoaching.com/https://www.instagram.com/kimcalifornia/ Tracy Holemeyerhttps://www.uncontrollablyme.com/https://www.instagram.com/uncontrollably_me/ Produced by: Kim MoranMusic: A Rush of Inspiration by Evan Mac Donald Support the showSupport the show

In this episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey share how they've learned to say "No" to sex — without creating distance, resentment, or feelings of rejection.They start by introducing a powerful game from Dr. Betty Martin 's WHEEL OF CONSENT: -Like A Pro Training called "No Three Ways," and reflect on how it helped rebuild trust between them after a traumatic experience at a tantra party earlier that year. (Catch that story HERE)Lauren and Trey explore:- How childhood experiences around "No" shaped their adult relationships- How they're working to honor their 14-year-old's boundaries- Personal responsibility for orgasm (and why it matters!)- How they navigate saying "No" inside their partnership — and when it does or doesn't feel like rejectionThey also model different communication tools they've found incredibly helpful, like:➔ "Not now, but then"➔ "Not that, but this"➔ "I'm interested"➔ "This benefits me"The conversation gets juicy as they discuss why touch and sex often get conflated — and how unspoken "No's" can create distance over time. They even do about 8 minutes of role-playing, modeling how to gracefully decline sexual invitations while still keeping intimacy alive.At 43:00, they shift into an honest conversation about the differences between solo sex and partnered sex — and why they aren't in competition.Trey asks at 45:15, "If I fantasize about another woman or use porn to orgasm, why don't you take it personally?" Lauren offers a fresh perspective, likening erotic materials to fast food

Part two of the conversation with Levi is about asking for what we want and giving what we want, without pushing others into something they do not want to be part of.  Have you ever said “yes” when you really meant “no”? Or felt unclear about what you actually wanted? In this episode, we dive into Betty Martin's "The Wheel of Consent", a powerful framework that transforms how we navigate touch, relationships, and power dynamics. Whether in business, love, or everyday interactions, understanding the difference between giving, receiving, taking, and allowing can be life-changing. Join us as we explore how to reclaim agency, communicate desires with clarity, and step into true consent—without guilt, pressure, or confusion.

Some podcast apps may not display links from our show notes properly, so we have included a list of links at the end of this description. * For over 40 years somatic sex educator Dr. Betty Martin has explored the nuances of consent. In her framework and book, The Wheel of Consent, Dr. Martin traces the fundamental roots of consent back to our childhood conditioning. As children, many are taught that to be “good” we must ignore our body's discomfort and be compliant. As adults, this conditioning remains with us until we unlearn it. The implications of this approach to consent education extends beyond touch and intimate relationships. When we forget how to notice what we really want, we lose our inner compass. When we continue to go along with things we don't feel are right, we lose our ability to speak up against injustice. * In this episode, Dr. Martin is joined by Poarch Creek Two-Spirit Indigiqueer soma-cultural sex therapist, sexuality educator, writer, activist, and musician Dr. Roger Kuhn for an empowering conversation on the psychology of consent. Drawing upon her life's work and The Wheel of Consent, Dr. Martin shares deeply nuanced ways to practice consent as an agreement that brings integrity, responsibility, and empowerment into human interaction—starting with touch and relationships—and further expanding our understanding of consent to social issues of equality and justice. * This episode was recorded during a live online event on October 30th, 2024.

In this Season 2 premiere of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey break down how to prioritize sex and negotiate intimacy in a way that feels good for both partners. They explore the stories we create about our relationships—often shaped by insecurity—and ask, Is your partner actually avoidant, or is that just a narrative in your head?Lauren shares why safety-seeking behaviors aren't inherently wrong, but as adults, we get to decide whether we still want to feel their impact. They discuss the differences in arousal times, how Lauren uses a vibrator and erotic imagination to bridge the gap, and the power of reframing rejection through the “No Exercise” from The Wheel of Consent: Like a Pro Training.From understanding the difference between obligations and invitations to sex, to negotiating everything—including who takes out the trash—this episode highlights the beauty of co-creating consent. As Lauren puts it, “Sex is not everything, it's just a part of everything.” Plus, they explore Dr. Betty Martin's redefinition of consent: “You don't give consent, you arrive at consent—together.”If you've ever struggled with mismatched desire, feeling rejected, or navigating intimacy with ease, this episode will give you practical tools to shift the dynamic. Tune in to learn how to release old narratives, communicate better, and create the sex life you both want—without pressure or resentment.Want to learn more about prioritizing sex?

TW: Sexuelle Übergriffe Die Autorin Jill Ciment stellt in ihrem Memoir herausfordernde Fragen an ihrer jahrezehntelange Ehe mit dem Maler Arnold Mesches: Wie selbstbestimmt war sie in ihrer Beziehung? Hat ihr Partner sich schuldig gemacht, als ihre Beziehung begann? Was sagt sein Verhalten damals über die erfüllte Ehe aus, die darauf folgte? Wir sprechen in dieser Folge nicht nur über den umkämpften Begriff Consent (sexuelle Zustimmung, Einwilligung), sondern auch darüber, wie sich unser Blick auf Beziehungen in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten, und besonders post-Metoo, verändert hat. Consent bedeutet Einwilligung oder Zustimmung, in unserem Kontext zu sexuellen Handlungen. Consent sollte mit einem enthusiastischen "Ja!" ausgedrückt werden - alles andere ("nein", "vielleicht", "okay", "na gut") ist nicht ausreichend, um Zustimmung zu einer sexuellen Handlung zu geben. Wir wissen, dass das Thema Consent sehr heikel und schambehaftet ist.

Natasha is joined by Dr. Betty Martin to discuss consent on this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast.  The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent is based on the work of Betty Martin, over her 30+ years of working hands-on with patients, clients, and students. Over the last couple of years, she has been graciously assisted by Robyn Dalzen, who helped her get the book over the finish line.   Dr. Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a Chiropractor and upon retiring from that practice,  as a certified Surrogate Partner, Sacred Intimate, and Somatic Sex Educator.  Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the framework, The Wheel of Consent®. As part of her work with the School of Consent, Betty travels around the world teaching practitioners how to create empowered agreements in their client sessions, in her highly sought-after training “Like A Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Practitioners.”  Originally developed as an offering to teach much-needed consent skills to sex workers and touch providers, this training is now attended by somatic therapists, massage therapists, sexuality educators, medical and health care workers, activists, human resources folks and the spectrum of touch-based professional providers – all of whom complete the training with a clear understanding of how consent starts with our own bodies, and then expands outwards into all forms of human relating, with or without touch.

A fascinating and dynamic episode with one of my favorite humans in the universe, Britta Love. We discuss.. giving ourselves the space to feel heartbreak and grief; living in sanist culture; surrogate partner therapy; how the Wheel of Consent can support psychedelic communities with some of the common struggles we're seeing in the movement, and an upcoming retreat for psychedelic practitioners to learn and practice the Wheel of Consent. Britta Love (they/she) weaves between the worlds of conscious sexuality and psychedelic ritual, with a through line of social justice and embodied consent. They became an advocate for sex worker's rights as an undergraduate at the London School of Economics and Social Sciences in 2007 and have been a writer and activist pushing for the decriminalization of drugs and sex work ever since. Britta is a certified somatic sex educator through the Institute for the Study of Somatic Sex Education, has trained with Betty Martin's School of Consent and is a certified circle keeper with the Planning Change Restorative Justice Certification Program under the tutelage of Kay Pranis. Britta is currently completing a research-based memoir about healing and awakening through altered states induced by sex and psychedelics, based on her Consciousness Studies thesis at Goddard College. They are also in the process of launching the Sex Strike // Strike for Pleasure in response to the US abortion bans. Their embodied experience as a queer, neurodivergent, sex working femme navigating complex trauma and chronic illness are integral to their work.

Season 2, Episode 33, Release Date: 5-27-2024 Self-led Sexuality with Patricia Rich   Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Patricia Rich, a licensed social worker, certified IFS therapist and consultant, and a certified sex therapist and supervisor. She is insightful and knowledgeable on how IFS and sex therapy could be merged together for therapy and healing. She has presented at many conferences, and she has created a model for self-led sexuality, where she focuses on her "Six S's of sexual energy." We speak about this model in our conversation.   She shared the irony, how a lot of times sexuality is exiled from our field. However, people come to therapy to find their connection, vibracy and "aliveness." Our sexual energy, is such a great doorway to these very qualities!   Sexuality is important element of couple's work, and it is also an aspect of our humanness, of being an embodied human.   Patricia speaks about how important consent is as we explore our sexuality. This includes both consent with other people we are connecting sexually with, and also having internal consent. Patricia speaks about being able to welcome and give permission to all of our internal parts to be able to have a voice and to tap into their own sexuality. Additionally, she believes that it is important to get permission from all of our parts when exploring our sexuality.   It is important to have some space in our systems, to be able to listen to all of our parts. Patricia mentioned Betty Martin's "Wheel of Consent" and how this leads to a "sacred pause." When I googled this later I found Tara Brach speaking about this "Sacred Pause" as well. In this pause we can listen to all parts, find internal allignment, and make sure one part is not being left out, or that another part isn't taking over the system.   Diving into the "sacred pause," Patricia shared her strategy to "take a few BEATS." She did this with David, and she showed this practice: B-- this stands for BODY and BREATH and noticing these E-- is listening to our EMOTIONS, noticing what is happening inside A-- this is our ACTIONS, what are we doing in this moment, and what is or impulse T-- stands for THOUGHTS, can we observe what are thoughts are saying S-- is our SELF WISDOM, and listening for the voices of our wiser self in this moment   Patricia speaks about how important it is to really listen to, "What is my body saying?" This can even connect with Polyvagal theory, and questioning how our autonomic nervous system is feeling in the moment.   All of our internal parts have a drive and nature as well as a sexual energy to them.   Self-energy also has a sexual quality to it. This is beautiful because it illustrates how no one is sexually broken! As we open us to our sexual energies, we can become soft, creative, and new doors can open.   Patricia shared the 6 S's that she believes sexual energy can bring us:   Safety Senuality Spaciousness Sensitivity Steamy Satisfied   Each of these could be a trailhead, and a way of assess our sexual energy, as well as how we relate to our sexual energy. This could be a way of embodying self-energy.   We can strive towards having self-led sexuality, and helping all of our parts to have self-led sexuality as well.   To find more about Patricia, you can go to her website: www.patriciarich.com            

Can turning away from pleasurable experiences actually limit our practice?In this talk René Rivera shares that there are wholesome states that signal we are on the path to awakening. However the pleasurable states often get a "bad rap" in Buddhism as something to be avoided so as not to trigger craving.  René summarizes the importance of pleasure by quoting Betty Martin:"Pleasure is a powerful change agent. Pleasure helps you make friends with your body and that changes the sense of who you are in the world, and your sense of self worth, value and compassion. Many fears and inner conflicts resolve. That is why it is often said that pleasure heals."He also leads the sangha in an exercise to explore an everyday object with one's hands. The intent is to find the ways in which we may find nourishment by introducing the act of noticing. Focusing on pleasurable sensations is a good way to begin because that's where our mind naturally gravitates anyway. ______________ René Rivera is a meditation teacher, restorative justice facilitator, and leader, working and learning in all the spaces in-between race, gender, and other perceived binaries, as a queer, mixed-race, trans man.René teaches heart-centered, trauma-informed meditation, at the East Bay Meditation Center and other meditation centers. He has co-led the first residential meditation retreats for transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive people. René is a restorative justice facilitator for the Ahimsa Collective, working to heal sexual and gender-based violence.

This episode starts off with our quick anecdote to one of our listeners who said they don't like our new intro: WE SEE YOU, truly! & say, pls feel free to skip it! This sets up the most amazing conversation about consent. I (Holland) found a Reddit post the other day written by a father about his daughter disclosing her discomfort around an adult in her life. This conversation is nuanced in so many ways and opens up the floor for Lauren and I to talk about the fact that abuse does not have just one face. We talk about signs of abuse and quite a few preventative measures you can take to help keep your kids safe! We may be beating a dead horse with a stick on this one, but AGAIN, conversations and communication can save lives. Lauren gives a few examples of how she's created a safe container for her kid to come to her with vulnerable topics, conversations you can have about consent, and a game you can play with kids to model consent. We open up the conversations to other consent related topics like the Me Too movement and Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent. Hope you all enjoy!

This episode is about the importance of learning the art of choice. We sat down for this episode with no particular topic in mind and out came this conversation about how the lack of autonomy and choice making skills in adolescence deeply affect your ability to choose later in life. We empower listeners (and ourselves) to make cognizant decisions about who we surround ourselves with and to critically examine how those people impact our perspectives on life. The entire conversation highly relates to Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and her book The Art of Receiving and Giving.

In this week's episode we tap deep into the trust, desire, intimacy, and vulnerability that come from relationality. Betty Martin offers her vast knowledge of bodywork, somatics, and consent to give listeners insight into what she calls “The Wheel of Consent,” a quadrant that details a practice of giving and receiving. Betty reminds us that access is a gift. No one is born with the knowledge of how to give and receive in the “perfect” way, rather we must learn and feel together – navigating boundaries and allowing ourselves to find what feels right. Intimacy is a deeply vulnerable act, and Betty discusses how we can create a sense of acceptance and safety as we root in our bodies rather than societal expectations.Throughout the conversation, Betty emphasizes that consent should be the baseline for interaction, not just in intimate relationships but in the world writ large. The questions we ask and the people we include in conversations about consent matter. Only in knowing our limits as individuals, as a society, and as a part of the more-than-human world can we find the true meaning of trusting ourselves, of tapping into generosity, and of comfort. Dr. Betty Martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a Chiropractor and upon retiring from that practice, as a certified Surrogate Partner, Sacred Intimate, and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the framework, The Wheel of Consent®. She wrote a book about it, called "The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent", and travels the world teaching other practitioners how to use the practices and the model to keep their clients safe, and their sessions effective and satisfying.Music by Roehind and Vaughn Aed.Visit our website at forthewild.world for the full episode description, references, and action points.Support the show

WE'RE BACK!! Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. On this weeks episode we've got the second part to our interview with the legendary Lisa Chatham. We cover a lot of ground from consent with partners and owning our wanting, speaking boundaries, polyamory and consenting non-monogamy, what it means to be a hell yes, and much more. The conversation of consent is one we could have indefinitely, and we grappled with such ideas, as not being damaged goods as a survivor of sexual assault and what it might mean to have a somatic practice in order to get back into our bodies after long moments of dissociation. We are all worthy of excellent sexual experiences so press play and enjoy!To connect with Lisa Chatham:http://www.lisachathampsychotherapy.comTo connect with Chloe:Email: chloe@downwithmydemons.comResources Mentioned:https://www.5rhythms.com/https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2022/4/21/proposed-changes-harassment-policies/https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1363460720961303https://sadeclasses.org/speaker/julie-fennell-slutphdBooks:The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardyhttps://www.amazon.com/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664Please Scream Quietly: A Story of Kink by Julie Fennellhttps://www.hpb.com/please-scream-quietly-a-story-of-kink/P-47814652-NEW.htmlThe Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent by Betty Martin with Robyn Dalzenhttps://wheelofconsentbook.com/Respect: Everything a Guy Needs to Know about Sex, Love, and Consent by Inti Chavez Perezhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43669272-respectPussy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer https://www.amazon.com/Pussy-Reclamation-Regena-Thomashauer/dp/1401950248Support the show

Let's get right to it. Episode 34 talks about Oral Sex a LOT. If that's not your cup of tea, this might be the episode for you!  Lauren has recently been re-reading Dr. Betty Martin's book, THE ART OF RECEIVING AND GIVING. At minute 1:50 she shares how Dr. Martin suggests that many folks might think they dislike receiving when REALLY they dislike enduring, tolerating and allowing.  At minute 13:40 Lauren unpacks the four quadrants of Dr. Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent and they both talk about how allowing is NOT the same as receiving. At minute 14:50 Trey reveals that he has disliked blow jobs since high school due to the tremendous pressure to orgasm. He and Lauren go on to unpack the basics of the 3-Minute Game and agree to use it to uncover new ways to receive oral gifts in the way they ACTUALLY want them.  Lauren shares a recent lightbulb moment she had about her Core Erotic Theme at minute 21:20 and how it influenced her in buying an old fashioned chemise that's maybe gotten her laid a couple of times. :-) Whether you call it consent or a game plan, Lauren and Trey hope you'll incorporate some of what you learn today into your sexual play with your partners!

Dr. betty martin has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a Chiropractor and upon retiring from that practice, as a certified Surrogate Partner, Sacred Intimate, and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the framework, The Wheel of Consent®. As part of her work with The School of Consent, betty travels around the world teaching practitioners how to create empowered agreements in their client sessions, in her highly sought-after training “Like A Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Practitioners.” Originally developed as an offering to teach much-needed consent skills to sex workers and touch providers, this training is now attended by somatic therapists, massage therapists, sexuality educators, medical and health care workers, activists, human resources folks and the spectrum of touch-based professional providers – all of whom complete the training with a clear understanding of how consent starts with our own bodies, and then expands outwards into all forms of human relating, with or without touch. Dr. Kate and Dr. betty talk about the 3 Minute Game: founded on two questions: "What do you want me to do to you?" and "What do you want to do to me?" which uncover so much, including how detached we are from knowing what we really want and what we are truly comfortable with. We learn that until we get in touch with what we want, it is difficult to give and receive authentically. And until that, we are potentially giving and receiving but actually getting resentful and angry, as we stand disconnected from our wants, and performing to what we believe our partner wants, acting as if it is all good. Learn tools to discover more about yourself and your sexual or non-sexual giving and receiving with a partner, co-worker, client, etc. It can be liberating step toward balanced relationships. __ Email your questions to: question@getnakedpodcast.com Stay Connected with Dr. Kate: IG: https://www.instagram.com/themodernintimacy/ https://www.instagram.com/drkatebalestrieri/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/drkatebalestrieri/ https://www.tiktok.com/modernintimacy/ Visit www.modernintimacy.com

Have you heard of the term situationship? I've been seeing the term across different media outlets but I hadn't dug into it much until I found Myisha Battle, today's guest, writing about how they might be the future of dating.At first, situationships seemed to be a terrible idea to me but Myisha has changed my opinion on them. Now I'm thinking, a situationship is exactly what many 20-somethings might need at this time in their dating life.If you haven't heard of the term situationship before, it is defined as that is a relationship that is emotionally connected, but without commitment or future planning. It's beyond a casual hookup or friends with benefits. A situationship could include going on dates, having sex, and building intimacy but exclude labels like boyfriend and girlfriend at least at this point of the relationship.Myisha Battle is a sex and dating coach and the author of the book, This is Supposed to Be Fun: How to Find Joy in Hooking Up, Settling Down, and Everything in Between.With her expertise, we have a really great conversation about if a situationship is right for you, the benefits of this relationship archetype, and how to exit this kind of relationship if it is no longer what you're looking for. We always talk about tons of other great dating subjects like how to set up your dating app profile to attract the right kind of people for you. If you're looking for some clarity and support in your dating life right now, this is the perfect episode for you.Key Takeaways:How different parts of the world view sexHow to communicate with your partner about the sex you wantHow to set up your dating app profileHow to show up as your full self on dating profilesHow to land someone that is nothing like you'd expectCould a situationship give you the dating flexibility you're looking for?How to end a relationship and breakup with someone with compassionFramework for breaking up with someoneHow to know when to take a break from dating versus when to push throughMentions:Wheel of consent (Betty Martin): https://bettymartin.org/videos/How to play the 3-minute game (Betty Martin): https://bettymartin.org/how-to-play-the-3-minute-game/More of Myisha:Website: https://www.myishabattle.com/Book - This is Supposed to Be Fun: https://www.amazon.com/This-Supposed-Be-Fun-Everything/dp/1541602218More of The Struggle is Real:Find show notes and more at https://www.tsirpodcast.com/Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/tsirpod/

Asking for what you want is an art. Sometimes you've had sex a certain way so many times it doesn't occur that you can ask for it any differently but you can always change your mind, and it's never too late to introduce experimentation. Sometimes using strategies like saying “you know what would make this even better?” can help. Other times you can't imagine how you would approach a person about something. In those cases, something like Marcia Baczynski's Good Girl Recovery Project or Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent or Dr. Paterson's The Assertiveness Workbook might be what you need. Of course you can always turn into The Intimate Marriage Podcast, specifically the episode called How Marriages Fail. The host of that podcast, medical doctor Alexandra Stockwell, is back to explain that how we ask can impact how good it feels for our partners to provide for us. Let's hear it straight from her on Intimate Interactions.

You guys– I'm absolutely HONORED to be having Somatic Sex Educator and author, Dr. Betty Martin, on the podcast today, to be dissecting giving and receiving today. Her book, The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent, has completely shifted how I look at my own patterns of giving and receiving in partnership, as well as expanded my intimacy skills with myself and other. A big component of self-trust in partnership is being able to articulate our desires, fears, boundaries, and to confront our belief systems on worthiness. All of which will be covered in this episode. Enjoy! BOTH FEET IN: You can purchase Betty's book here
