  On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Conn Carroll, the author of Sex and the Citizen: How the Assault on Marriage Is Destroying Democracy. Caroll is currently an editor for the Washington Examiner, but previously he was the communications director for Senator Mike Lee of Utah, an assistant director at the Heritage Foundation, White House correspondent for Townhall.com and a reporter at National Journal. Carroll wrote Sex and the Citizen in response to what he felt was misleading and biased reporting in the mainstream media on the origins and implications of marriage and monogamy. Razib asks Carroll how he refutes the ideas presented in Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá's Sex at Dawn, which argues that prehistoric humans were non-monogamous. Carroll outlines the current mainstream thinking in evolutionary anthropology and primatology, and all the biological reasons that indicate that Homo sapiens is far more monogamous than our common chimpanzee and gorilla cousins, most clearly in our reduced sexual dimorphism. But while our hunter-gatherer past was defined by monogamy, Sex and the Citizen argues that the rise of agriculture resulted in the explosion of polygamy, as high status males in societies defined by incredible inequality began to monopolize access to women, culminating in the explosion of Y chromosomal “star phylogenies,” where supermale lineages exploded all over Eurasian 4,000 years ago. Carroll then explains that the Romans and Greeks took steps toward enforcing monogamy as a legal institution, and Christianity introduced the idea of sexual fidelity upon men. After Christianity popularized egalitarian monogamous marriage, Sex and the Citizen follows in Joe Henrich's wake in The WEIRDest People in the World: How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous. Carroll discusses the Catholic Church's strict policies on incest and adoption, which destroyed the power of elite related clans in the West, and hastened the emergence of the Western European marriage norm of independent and separate nuclear families, rather than extended families as the primary unit of kinship in society.   In the second half of Sex and the Citizen Carroll addresses the social history and policy changes in relation to marriage in the US. While Western European societies took a significant step away from familialism, Carroll explains that American marriage was even more individualistic and radical, as nuclear families spread out to the frontier, away from their extended kin networks. He also contextualizes the rise of the 1950's nuclear family, which some scholars have argued was an aberration in American history. Carroll argues that actually it was an extension of earlier American norms, but the rise of the wage-based capitalist economy allowed for couples to set up separate households earlier in their lives. Carroll concludes the discussion outlining the 1970's policy changes in welfare provision that discouraged marriage, noting the decline of the institution across American society over the last 60 years, and how government policy might reverse it.

This episode may get your heads scratching if you're tuning in from a society that has very specific relationship dynamics and arrangements in place. My curiosity to how other's live their lives and what they deem as healthy for their relationships has never been higher, as I am in the process of becoming the best partner and friend myself.In this episode, I speak to Akil Apollo Davis, a full-time Performing Artist & Theatre Professor of Mask and Art Aesthetic. He has been a unique and influential presence in New York City's performance, educational and cultural avant-garde for 2 decades. We discuss the ins and outs of this thing called Sex Positivity. And to give you a brief idea, sex positivity is a social and cultural movement that promotes an affirmative and open attitude towards all aspects of sexuality. It encourages individuals to embrace and explore their own sexual desires, preferences, and identities without judgment or shame. Sex positivity emphasizes the importance of consent, communication, and respect in sexual relationships. He has trained with Monks in Thailand, Brahmans in Bali, Witches in New York, and has worked with Psychologists to bridge the gaps between esoteric knowledge and classical paradigms. Akil's Karmic mantra: there must be more light. Episode Highlights Meet the one and only Akil How he went from celibacy to monogamy to discovering consensual non-monogamy Akil's understanding of attachment and fear in relationships The establishment of monogamy Accessing your healthy sexual energy The tiers of being non-monogamous, and the importance of communication on your wants and needs Emotional maturity Real life examples on how non-monogamy works The ins and outs of play parties The downsides of sex positivity/monogamy Compersion - a new word to remember Resources, courtesy of Akil:Sex-Positivity for Curious Minds 1.“The Ethical Slut: A Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships & Other Adventures” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy2.“Come As You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life” by Emily Nagoski3.“Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What It Means for Modern Relationships” by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá4.“Opening Up: A Guide to Creating and Sustaining Open Relationships” by Tristan Taormino5.“What Makes a Baby” by Cory Silverberg (for all kinds of families)6.“Queer: A Graphic History” by Meg-John Barker and Julia Scheele7.“The New Topping Book” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy8.“The New Bottoming Book” by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy9.“Girl Sex 101” by Allison Moon and KD Diamond10.“Pussy: A Reclamation” by Regena Thomashauer11.“Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century” by Barbara Carrellas12.“Sex God Method” by Daniel Rose13.“The Art of Sexual Magic: Cultivating Sexual Energy to Transform Your Life” by Margo Anand Psychological and Emotional Work for Curious Minds1.“The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma” by Bessel van der Kolk2.“The Sexual Healing Journey: A Guide for Survivors of Sexual Abuse” by Wendy Maltz3.“Healing Sex: A Mind-Body Approach to Healing Sexual Trauma” by Staci Haines4.“Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha” by Tara Brach5.“The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship” by Don Miguel Ruiz6.“Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love” by Dr. Sue Johnson7.“More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory” by Franklin Veaux and Eve Rickert8.“Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy” by Irvin D.

Moments after the door to my condo closed behind us, the stranger I'd cruised on the subway locked his mouth on mine. I eagerly accepted. The tension of 30+ minutes of eyeing each other in the train car, up the escalators, down Sunset Blvd., to this moment, piqued our primal need to engage. He pulled at the bottom of his shirt.  I leaned away from kissing his scruffy face and said, “Hold on, can I get that for you?” and I slowly pulled his shirt up, revealing his bare skin, happy trail, belly button, chest, nipples, and finally, his masculine shoulders. The inside-out collar of thin cotton material moved up his throat while the bulk of the shirt acted as a temporary blindfold. As the shirt released from his head, I looked into his eager eyes – the t-shirt hanging relaxed in my hand. “Your turn,” I said. “Take your time.” Rather than ignoring all this erotic energy and racing towards orgasm with the intensity of an Olympic sprinter, I've learned to lean into erotic tension and savor its rare pleasures. This is a departure from the avid Sport Fucker practice I once thought was the height of sexual pleasure and liberation. Sport Fucking is about having sex for its own sake. Keeping a score sheet (even if it's just in one's head) of the numbers, variety, and status of sex partners is what it's all about. Commitment and emotional depth are not part of the practice. An ass up, no talking, jackhammer fuck n' go is its hallmark protocol. It allows us to protest against the heteronormative standard narrative: All sex outside of a monogamous relationship is bad. It also satisfies our need to seed, and be seeded by, as many individuals as possible. Sperm competition, as outlined in the book Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá, provides evidence that our genes are programmed to both give and receive as much sperm as possible. The one who gives or receives the most wins the genetic prize. Sport Fucking is still in my sexual repertoire, but it is only one musical genre with which to play the music. Sometimes, I want a nasty two-minute country tune by Dixon Dallas: “No strings attached, I'll arch my back and let you do what you want.” At other times, I want an hour-long Deep House Anjunadeep Edition 434 with Marsh DJ session: “Reach inside me. Gonna take my love in,” that transports us on a multilayered sensory/emotional/spiritual journey. Each encounter is usually a variation that mixes a bit from each style, depending on my partner's proclivities and how our energies mix.If I'd taken this guy to a stairwell to seal the deal, a long, drawn-out connection wouldn't have been practical. But we were in my place, and I had more than two minutes. Until the moment his shirt came off, and I felt the heat radiating from his torso, my attraction to this guy was almost entirely visual. It was tied to what he was wearing, especially his grey sweatpants and the shape of the underwear seams framing his butt cheeks as he shifted his weight, side to side, only one escalator step ahead of me on the long ride up and out of the deep Sunset-Vermont subway station, my heart pounding all the way. I was returning home from my workout, where I'd seen lots of Hollywood hotties dressed in their best gym gear hugging all the right places oh so coyly, never to be touched. (Well, not never, but that's another post.) This was an opportunity to actually touch, smell, and taste the tantalizing essence that is usually off-limits. Why throw all that on the floor? Both shirtless, we moved to the playroom.It had become clear to me during our makeout session, while my hands massaged the raised underwear seams through his sweats, that he preferred to let me take charge. I didn't let that stop me from dropping to my knees to explore the cause of a raging boner still inside my jeans. As an aside, for a long time, I lived with a made-up rule that tops don't kneel for their partners – that maintaining dominance requires insertive, taking energy only. I was wrong about that, especially the kneeling part. Down on my knees, there is a lot of pleasure to give by actively taking what he generously allowed. Undressing a man slowly, like the beautifully wrapped gift that he is, moves that spark of erotic energy up and into every power zone of your body. Without an immediate release (a quick orgasm), the energy expands its way from that space between your balls and your butthole, through your gut, your heart, your throat, your mind, and out into the Universe. The vibrational energies of your whole self, the energies that the Great Yoga Sages called the seven chakras, become available mojo for your eventual climax. Dipping my fingers between the cotton waistband of his sweatpants and the formfitting elastic of his briefs, nuzzling the swollen mound straining the fabric beneath his sweatpants, looking up to see how this is being received via his eyes, expressing gratitude in mine, inching the sweats down to reveal his previously hidden tight undies, feeling the heat of his contained junk that had been walking down the street with me, now pressing on my nose and cheeks, smelling the epicenter of his pheromone production, allowing the sweatpants to gather at his feet, fanning anticipation by leaving his underwear on, overtly looking him up and down, from his bright brown eyes to his pants that are now a heap around his ankles. Pro Tip: To remove his pants with just two sweeping motions, I find the leg opening behind one heel, allow him to shift his weight to the other foot, and pull on the seam of the leg opening. Most pants will easily slide off one leg at a time. This avoids the struggle of pulling the pants at the waist and having them turn inside out, causing awkward logistics that break the sultry trance. “Your turn,” I said.  Whatever we do next will be charged with intimacy and understanding, which clears a path to mind-bending release.While undressing each other, we transmit and receive information about what turns the other guy on, what doesn't, and what's meh. We just need to look, listen, and feel for it. It also builds erotic tension. Cum denial, as it's called in parts of the fetish community, or semen retention, as it's called in various eastern spiritual communities, leads to an altered state of consciousness. Senses are heightened, and the mind focuses. Done in a community of men, it fosters heart-centered connections and a willingness to be vulnerable. I first experienced this state with Tantra 4 Gay Men during a weeklong retreat near Joshua Tree, California, where I went nearly two weeks without ejaculation. The point is that building erotic heat without release creates a heightened mental state. Invest in that state, and you'll have an insanely intense orgasm—a frighteningly powerful full-body release. It's a rollercoaster ride that's worth the wait in line. The undressing ritual gives you a tiny glimpse into that euphoria, that connection to Everything, to the Divine. You just need to be emotionally brave enough to speak your truth. Communicate what you want. Probably non-verbally. Say and accept “no” as helpful information so that everyone can lean into their erotic and emotional desires and needs, sometimes called fantasies. The jackhammering may still happen, but if it does, it becomes a well-timed crescendo rather than the entire piece of music. It's a dynamic highpoint, igniting the root charka, blasting energy up through the now energized spiritual centers, including the crown chakra where it's possible to touch Divine wisdom, imbuing your cum shot with a melding of primal and sacred certainty. We know joy. We know peace. Strangers we meet on the train leave happy.  Get full access to The Sensitive Slut at mikegerle.substack.com/subscribe

Chris Ryan's work has been translated into over twenty languages, and appeared just about everywhere, including Netflix, HBO, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, National Geographic, and More… Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House and is a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, and many other podcasts. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships with Cacilda Jethá, MD in 2010, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at very odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Chris decided to get a little serious and pursue doctoral studies in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA, using his dissertation to examine Darwin's rather naive understanding of human sexual evolution — providing the core arguments later advanced in Sex at Dawn. Chris's latest book, Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress asks whether civilization has been a net benefit to our species. He hosts a weekly podcast, Tangentially Speaking, often recorded from the road while traveling in his van. The podcast features conversations with comics, bank robbers, drug smugglers, porn stars, authors, and an occasional rattlesnake expert. #ChrisRyan #BestsellerAuthor #SexAtDawn #CivilizedToDeath #GlobalExplorer #ThoughtLeader #Psychoanalysis #DiverseConversations #CulturalObserver | CHRIS RYAN | SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@dudeinhammock WEBSITE - https://chrisryanphd.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/thatchrisryan X - https://twitter.com/ThatChrisRyan FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/chrisryanphd/ BOOKS - https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= & https://www.amazon.com/Civilized-Death-What-Lost-Modernity/dp/1451659105/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1702656704&sr=8-1 Join Host

Uporabljajte kondome, obstajajo spolno prenosljive bolezni, morate si tipati prsi in moda, umivajte se, enkrat na mesec priteče kri ... Konec. To nas je o spolnosti naučil šolski sistem. Če smo imeli doma še rahlo zadržane starše, sta bila "tisti" oddelek v knjižnici in starejša sestra edino upanje za kakšno sočno informacijo. Zdaj smo postali večja in starejša bitja, ki se o spolnosti raje ne pogovarjamo, predvsem s tisto osebo oziroma osebami, s katero_imi smo v nekem intimnem odnosu. Zato je čas, da na to žgečkljivo temo pogledamo še z drugih vidikov. Užitka. Raziskovanja sebe in drugih. Odnosov. Duševnega zdravja. Je s samozadovoljevanjem v zvezi kaj narobe? Kaj pomeni, če mi je všeč analni seks? Imajo ženske več orgazmov? Je gledanje pornografskih filmov slabo? Zakaj libido niha in kako ga povečati? Kako popestriti spolno življenje v dolgih monogamnih zvezah? Kaj zdaj, če imaš manjši spolni ud?

One of the questions I see the most in Facebook groups I follow is, “How do I know if my partner is turned on?” But I think that what they really want to know is the opposite. They want to know why their partner isn't showing the outward signs of arousal like an erection or wetness. Let's talk about what some studies have found about the difference between men and women when it comes to how our bodies react to stimuli and how our brain reacts. Because, as with most things, they are very different.    Sources: Come As You Are by Emily Nagasaki Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá

Alright, spill. Who among us used Valentine's Day to fuck around? It's okay. I won't tell. I get it. Spring is in the air, we're basically out of the pandemic, everybody be fucking. I mean, seeing my garden of tulips is enough to get me horny simply because of the name. But if you fucked around when you weren't supposed to, then you're a piece of shit. Sorry not sorry. Fortunately, my guest isn't as abrasive as I am. So if you're a cheater or have been cheated on, this is the episode for you. I invite Gibran Rodriguez to talk about his specialty in couple's therapy and how to navigate the messy waters of infidelity and not just because I think he's one of the hottest guys I've ever laid my eyes on. Good thing I'm single because the thoughts in my head during this interview were definitely...not faithful.Gibran is experienced in working with a wide variety of mental health problems in adults, ranging from mild to moderate/severe. He has worked with clients presenting issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship issues, chronic illness, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder. While in Canada, Gibran has received training in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and clinical, psychoeducational and forensic assessment. His therapeutic style is collaborative and client-centred, as he strives to develop a positive relationship with his clients to reach mutually defined goals and employs a variety of strategies. Gibran believes that while he might be knowledgeable about tools to foster change, clients bring their own expertise to therapy in the form of lived experiences, self-awareness, and personal strengths. Books mentioned in this episode for further reading:Mating in Captivity by Esther PerelWhy We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love by Helen FisherSex at Dawn by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher RyanFollow Gibran's socials!Instagram: @gibransinacentoWebsite: https://www.somah.mx/______________________________________________________________________________How to support this show and help keep the show free!Go to dalekuda.com and use code SEXEDWITHTIM at checkout for 25% off your entire purchase plus free shipping.Go to goodforher.com and use code SEXEDWITHTIM10 at checkout for 10% off your order of any toys online.

Today I have one of the biggest names to ever grace the stage of this podcast, in the form of Chris Ryan. Chris is known for many things, but is perhaps most notable for his book Sex at Dawn, which he co-wrote with his partner Cacilda Jethá. It challenges the conventional views on sex by diving deep into our ancestors' history. It provides a fascinating look at hunter gatherers, and what we were once like.

This is a classic “shit you're not supposed to talk about” conversation.  Welcome to two very different takes on an emotionally charged topic: fidelity.  This week, Jenna and Jenelle talk going through partners' phones, how your family of origin affects your attachment and trust style, and why we both have such different feelings on fidelity and monogamy.   Jenna and Jenelle also get in a debate about how to pronounce the name “Esther” and in case you were wondering, in THIS incident, Jenelle might be right. But Esther Perel is a hugely popular author and speaker regarding all aspects of marriage and infidelity and this is a very interesting jumping off point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmiKAoAmYSg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmiKAoAmYSg) Jenna rounds out the episode by asking Jenelle if she's ever cheated (and Jenelle forgets to ask Jenna the same question).  Jenna also tells the story of the time she went her “neighborhood swingers club” with her mom.  They really are covering it ALL this week, people!

¿Por qué la mayoría de los matrimonios fracasan? Según los autores Christopher Ryan y Cacilda Jethá, la respuesta está en nuestros ancestros. Este episodio habla sobre la teoría evolutiva que explica las relaciones humanas.

Tình Dục Thuở Hồng Hoang (Sex at dawn) Cuốn sách Tình dục thuở hồng hoang lập luận rằng việc các xã hội cả phương Tây lẫn phương Đông tôn thờ các cuộc hôn nhân độc thê và tính chung thủy trọn đời về căn bản là không phù hợp với bản chất con người. Tác phẩm đã đưa ra minh chứng về bản tính lang chạ bẩm sinh của chúng ta bằng cách khám phá lịch sử và quá trình tiến hóa của tính dục con người, trong đó tập trung mạnh vào tổ tiên linh trưởng và Cách mạng nông nghiệp Ai nên đọc cuốn sách này? Bất cứ ai muốn biết bản chất tình dục thực sự của loài người là gì Bất cứ ai từng trải nghiệm nỗi căng thẳng khi phải luôn cố gắng một lòng một dạ với người mình yêu, và tự hỏi làm sao để sống hạnh phúc lâu dài với nhau trong tương lai Bất cứ ai quan tâm đến sinh học và tâm lý học tiến hóa Tác giả cuốn sách này là ai? Christopher Ryan là tác giả và nhà báo với bằng tiến sỹ ngành tâm lý học, đã từng sống ở nhiều nơi như Alaska, Mexico, Ấn Độ và Tây Ban Nha. Đồng tác giả, Cacilda Jethá, người Bồ Đào Nha, gốc Ấn là bác sỹ và chuyên gia tâm thần. Ryan và Jethá đã kết hôn được nhiều năm và quyết định không tiết lộ bất cứ chi tiết riêng tư nào về đời sống tình dục của họ.

Christopher Ryan is a bestselling author with a background in psychology. After completing his PhD at Saybrook University, he reached international acclaim with his first book, Sex at Dawn, co-authored with Cacilda Jethá. More recently he authored the book Civilised to Death, which levels a damning critique at modern civilization. He also contributes to Psychology Today and is the host of the podcast Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Christopher Ryan. Today we talk about the idea that, rather than being the huge positive that we’re told it is, civilization actually stacks up poorly when compared to hunter-gatherer lifestyles.

Somehow J.Mix got six months into this podcast without discussing this week's subject matter in detail. This week, J.Mix is joined by Dylan Trần to give a crash course into the beautiful monster that is Nonmonogamy. This episode is specifically catered to our TSAM friends who are curious about the lifestyle and want an organized layout into what it takes to successfully transition to multiple partnerships AND overcome the biggest monster that keeps most folks from dipping their toes into the nonmonogamy pool: JEALOUSY.J.Mix + Dylan also address all of the common nonmonogamy terms that get incorrectly defined such as polyamory + polygamy, and open relationship + monogamish.-Lastly, the two spread love on their personal experiences being nonmonogamous with their respective sexual partners in true, open, transparent, nonmonogamous dialogue that they hope inspires and alleviates the misconceptions and negative feats inhibited about the lifestyle by society. --Nonmonogamy Recommendations/Resources: 1) "The Ethical Slut" by Dossie Easton and Janet W.

Episode 11 is a really good one to sit down with a cup of coffee and tune in to your heart and reflect on past, present, and future romantic relationships of yours. Hollie is one of my good friends and we decided to sit down and share a lot of what we’ve been going through in terms of relationships over the last year or so. We share our difficulties, strengths, and different personal revelations about monogamy vs. polyamory and where we stand on the scale. I think this topic is one to be surfaced again and again and again during our evolution as human beings and will help shape the future of how we interact with the ones we love. I hope you enjoy this conscious, light hearted, and loving conversation about relationships.   Connect with Hollie on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/whale_be_okay/  OTHER THINGS MENTIONED IN EPISODE: Aubrey Marcus Podcast by Aubrey Marcus  BOOKS ON POLYAMORY;Sex at Dawn by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan ____________________________________________________________ Connect with Chloe / Infinite Creators:Website | https://www.infiniteecreators.comInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/infinite.creators/?hl=enPinterest | https://www.pinterest.com/infinitecreators/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/infiniteecreators/ Rate, Review, Subscribe to the Podcast + Send a screenshot of your review to:chloe@infiniteecreators.comAnd I will send you a FREE copy of of either my cookbook or my dreamlike workbook! x Subscribe to the Infinite Creaots Newsletter: https://www.infiniteecreators.com/home Subscribe to the Infinite Creators Podcast: Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/6w42XMrDUnsPeJ6AxnycDd?si=gVCAIDbaRZyFusfgGbKN5AiTunes | hPodBean | https://infinitecreators.podbean.com CUSTOM INTRO / OUTRO MUSIC MADE + PRODUCED BY:Rob Edwards Connect with him on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/redwards7/

Today, we continue our run of legendary authors and podcasters with Dr. Christopher Ryan, author of New York Times bestsellers, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships and Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress. He has a chart-topping dialog podcast is called, Tangentially Speaking, We have a fun, some times provocative discussion about everything from Muhammad Ali, what’s wrong with modernity, how the world is fundamentally changing, why living in a van is awesome, to what it’s like making a living as roving, smart person. The Legendary Muhammad Ali Christopher Ryan and Christopher Lochhead went into an insightful exchange of stories about Muhammad Ali. Chris shares during this lockdown, he discovered a YouTube channel that featured several classic fights and he enjoyed binge-watching on these.  Chris mentions Pete McCormick, the guy behind a documentary called “Facing Ali” and he interviewed guys who fought Ali. The interesting backstory was, during these tune-up fights, Ali would handpick his opponent.  “He would tell his agent, he heard one guy, his wife had been killed in an accident, so he will get a quarter-million dollars. He's beating people up in a charitable, generous way.” - Christopher Ryan Podcasting Has Been Instrumental Lochhead describes Ryan as “an insanely smart Ph.D. dude who seems to make a living being a smart guy, writing smart shit, podcasting smart shit, generally being the smart guy in the world.” He says podcasting has been instrumental in getting his message across. “It used to be, if you want to sit down and share your opinions to a hundred young smart people who are interested in hearing an old guy like me, you had a gig in the university. Universities are designed to filter out people like me or Joe Rogan or you, people who are liable to say something outlandish, to challenge this status quo.” - Christopher Ryan He further shares that he is generally pessimistic about the modern world, but one of the wonderful things that happened recently is that podcasting exploded.  “It is almost like a printing press, it just exploded, the opportunity to have direct contact between someone in the audience and the audience chooses whether or not it’s worth listening to. It is not the administrators of the university or publishing house, you know the gatekeepers.” - Christopher Ryan What It Is Like Living In A Van Christopher says he owned an apartment for a while until last fall when he spent 5 months in the van. He ditched his apartment, rented a storage space, and continued living life on the road since then. He traveled across the United States during the summer and flew to tropical countries during the wintertime.  “When this stuff got weird, end of January, I flew back. I didn't want to get stranded in Asia. I rented a house in a tiny little town in Colorado. I've been here, it is fantastic, there's no problem with social distancing. I like solitude. I like a good solid chunk of quiet and distance.” - Christopher Ryan To hear more about Christopher and what’s wrong with modernity and how the world is fundamentally changing, download and listen to this episode. Bio: Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including Netflix, HBO, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, and The Atlantic. Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House, the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, and is a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience and many other podcasts.  He’s also provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing and appeared in dozens of documentary films and television shows.

Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think.  A featured speaker from TED in Long Beach, CA to The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House to the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, Chris has consulted at various hospitals in Spain, provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing, and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York's Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris recently finished a new book for Simon and Schuster called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists.

Christopher Ryan, PhD. is an author, speaker, and podcast host, as well as an excellent storyteller. With his New York Times best-selling book, Sex at Dawn, he became known for challenging the standard cultural narratives around sex and social organization. His new book, Civilized to Death, questions whether civilization has been a net benefit to our species. On his podcast Tangentially Speaking, Chris welcomes a mix of unconventional guests including famous comics, bank robbers, drug smugglers, porn stars, and rattlesnake experts. In this interview, Chris offers a challenging perspective on how humans have strayed from egalitarian tribal living, instead adopting customs that don’t match our biological drives and social needs. He focuses on the disruptive role of agriculture in human history, marking that as the period during which we veered off course. Chris also shares humorous and touching stories from interviews and travels in his van, Scarlett Jovansson.

Simon Rex also known as Dirt Nasty, is an American entertainer. Rising to fame as an MTV VJ, Rex later became an actor known for What I Like About You, Scary Movie 3, 4, and 5, and National Lampoon's Pledge This!. He later developed a rap persona, Dirt Nasty, and had several solo albums and co-founded the supergroup Three Loco.   Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think.  A featured speaker from TED in Long Beach, CA to The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House to the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, Chris has consulted at various hospitals in Spain, provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing, and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York’s Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris is finishing a new book for Simon and Schuster tentatively called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, due out in 2017—and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists.   Listen to Sourgrass Band   Buy me a coffee on Patreon   Follow me on Instagram   Box of Goodies   The Motherfucker Awards   Contact: info@kyle.surf   Mud Water   SC Medicinals Use the code KYLE10 to get 10% off everything at SC Medicinals.

Join us this month as we discuss Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jethá's nonfiction book about prehistoric human sexuality, Sex at Dawn! Overview If you're looking for a comfortable read, you're likely not going to find it here. The authors of this book pull no punches as they undertake a big task: undermining what they call the "standard narrative of human sexuality," which they see as potentially very harmful to humans given how we likely evolved and behaved for hundreds of thousands of years.  We are all familiar with the standard narrative, having been raised in a culture that saturates our existence with love songs, rom-coms, and countless other forms of propaganda that seem to insist that the fundamental condition of human sexuality is heartbreak. Under the standard narrative, we must always be on guard for the two-timing dude or the gold-digging lady, arguably a microcosm of a larger scarcity culture. Indeed, the authors trace our issues back to what seems to be the root of many of our problems: the agricultural revolution. Before this time, humans didn't have a mechanism for building capital - they just followed game animals or gathered food as needed. In other words, after hundreds of thousands of years existing without substantial property, we found ourselves thrust into a brave new world subject to the laws of capital. Until then we had no reason to keep track of lineage and keep capital "in the family." In this way, marriage and monogamy seem to play a vital role in the dynamics of capitalism, and not necessarily human nature. Through writing both witty and delightfully chatty, Ryan and Jetha root out fundaments of mainstream thought around human sexuality and open space for new conversation where it seems much needed. -Phil Notes Music by the Bad Math Band with their track "Chum Dumplins."

Let's talk about sex, baby! In honour of Valentine's Day, the team at Castology wanna recommend getting down and dirty. How romantic! But before then we gotta talk about last week, namely: How Did This Get Made?, The Rubin Report and Intelligence Squared U.S. Debates. Then it's getting hot in here, with Liz gushing about Sex Nerd Sandra, Zane slipping in a bit of Savage Lovecast, and Patrick getting stimulating with Tangentially Speaking. Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice. Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.Liz recommends: Sex Nerd Sandra https://www.patreon.com/sexnerdsandraHost Sandra Daugherty is a podcasting, workshop-teaching, sexual-shame-fighting “sex nerd” and her own words describe her podcast better than Liz ever could. “Many folks at first think "Sex Nerd" is just some provocative catch phrase I use to get attention. Ew no,” Sandra says on her Patreon. “In 2009, it was the only way I could efficiently communicate what I am and how I relate to the world. I was teaching a lot of BJ & orgasm classes back then and that quickly evolved into the Sex Nerd Sandra podcast (formerly on Nerdist). While I love to overshare about neato sex info, I’ve never felt like a sexpert, and always felt like a sex nerd. I hope we continue to learn together. I'm making lighthearted, curiosity-driven sex ed episodes interviewing scientists, practitioners and perverts about their passions." In earlier episodes she co-hosted with Dave Ross. She's now left the Pod Network life and you can donate to her Patreon so she can keep doing her sexy, nerdy thing.Liz's recommendation for Zane: Ep #35 Kiss and Make Out (Live ep).Liz's recommendation for Pat: Ep #66 Red Hot Touch(But Liz also thought it was hard to choose which ep to recommend which gent, so she suggested listening to both if they can).https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/sex-nerd-sandra/id455065811Pat Recommends: Tangentially Speaking with Dr. Christopher Ryan https://chrisryanphd.com/tangentially-speaking/This might be the favourite of my podcast subscriptions, it's certainly the one I recommend most. Chris Ryan first burst onto the scene in 2010 when he and his wife Cacilda Jethá co-wrote Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality. I first heard Chris when he appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience (naturally), where he was encouraged to start his own podcast. I've been listening to Tangentially Speaking from he beginning and am never disappointed. Chris gets all sorts of interesting people on, comedians, actors, musicians, scientists, writers, friends of his, and eccentrics he meets on his travels. I've too many favourite episodes so here's just a few: #188 Tom Spanbauer,#165 Lodhy, #204 Wim Hof, #214 Wade Davis, #254 Debra Berger, #279 Cacilda Jetha, #341 Aron RalstonFor Liz: To keep it thematic I'm going to recommend #322 Angela WhiteFor Zane: #346 Wednesday Martin for Zanehttps://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/tangentially-speaking-with-christopher-ryan/id566908883Zane recommends: The Savage Lovecast https://www.savagelovecast.com/I have been listening to Dan Savage for years and I know he has many strong opinions about Valnetine's Day. Dan Savage is an author, a sex-advice columnist, a podcaster, a pundit, and a public speaker. "Savage Love," Dan's sex-advice column, first appeared in the The Stranger, Seattle’s alternative weekly, in 1991. The column is now syndicated to more than 50 papers across the United States and Canada. Dan has published six books. Dan’s graphic, pragmatic, and humorous advice has changed the cultural conversation about monogamy, gay rights, religiosity, and politics.For Liz and Pat: Any episode really, all very similar.https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/savage-lovecast/id201376301Subscribe to us on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER or INSTAGRAM.

Warning: today's podcast episode gets a bit...well edgy - even explicit. See, every so often, I get together with my fellow fitness-freak podcasting friends - the good fellas from - and we take a rather rough around the edges, occasionally drug or alcohol infused, definitely entertaining and edgy foray into longevity to life to religion to parenting to biohacking and beyond. These always turn out to be incredibly popular podcast episodes, and this one promises to be just that. The hosts of Mindpump claim to “pull back the curtain on the mythology, snake oil and pseudo-science that pervades the fitness industry and present science-backed solutions that result in increased muscular development and performance while simultaneously emphasizing health.” T ake a gander at these fellas…as they seem to have the body composition and transformation equation pretty well figured out. They include… Sal DiStefano. Sal was 14 years old when he touched his first weight and from that moment he was hooked. Growing up asthmatic, frequently sick and painfully skinny, Sal saw weightlifting as a way to change his body and his self-image. In the beginning, Sal’s body responded quickly to his training but then his gains slowed and then stopped altogether. Not one to give up easily, he began reading every muscle building publication he could get his hands on to find ways to bust through his plateau. He read Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, Mentzer’s Heavy Duty, Kubrick’s Dinosaur Training, and every muscle magazine he could find; Weider’s Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Iron Man and even Muscle Media 2000. Each time he read about a new technique or methodology he would test it out in the gym. At age 18 his passion for the art and science of resistance training was so consuming that he decided to make it his profession and become a personal trainer. By 19 he was managing health clubs and by 22 he owned his own gym. After 17 years as a personal trainer he has dedicated himself to bringing science and TRUTH to the fitness industry.   Adam Schafer is a IFBB men’s physique Pro and fitness expert. Adam made his entrance into the fitness world 14 years ago and has continued to send shock waves throughout the community ever since. He is a man of many talents who wears many hats. He is first and foremost a certified fitness expert who has an insatiable desire to help people in need of major lifestyle changes and daily accountable motivation. He is also incredibly driven entrepreneur and business minded individual with a vision that continually challenges his colleagues and peers to think bigger and achieve more.        Justin Andrews has an incredible passion to disrupt the personal training industry and create ground breaking programs and tools that fitness professionals and clients alike can benefit from. The fitness industry in general needs a massive face lift to speak more to the generation growing up with a more advanced technology tool kit. Justin’s approach is to create programs that utilize technology as it advances and cut through the millions of options people face everyday when seeking specific information relating to their fitness needs. The great thing about where we are today is how easy it is to access information, the bad part about accessing all this information is how much misinformation is out there to weed through. As a health and fitness professional with a proven track record here in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Justin Andrews will keep working tirelessly to keep people educated and connected to quality personal trainers long into the future.    Doug Egge received his first gym membership as a gift from his dad when he was 16 years old. Rocky III had just come out and he was determined to build a body like Stallone. It never happened. Despite following the advice of muscle magazines and busting his butt in the gym, Doug saw minimal gains over the next 30 years. Then he was introduced to Sal Di Stefano by his chiropractor who recommended he work with Sal to eliminate muscle imbalances that were causing lower back issues. Sal’s unique approach, often 180 degrees different from what Doug had read in books and magazines, produced more results in a matter of months than he had experienced in the 30 years prior. Doug with an extensive marketing and media production background, recognized Sal’s unique gift and perspective was missing from the fitness world and suggested that they should join forces. Doug and Sal have since produced life-altering programs such as the No BS 6-Pack Formula and MAPS Anabolic. Doug is very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Adam and Justin as Producer of MindPump. In this epic 2+ hour conversation with the MindPump guys, you'll discover: -Health hazards of the new nicotine vapor pens...7:40 Hyper-concentrated amounts of THC. Nearly 100% There's such thing as too much of a good thing (essential oils) St. John's wort an anti-depressant; put it in vodka for 4 weeks, then strain it. -Observation: as humans have manipulated nature, all of a sudden we have a bunch of diseases to worry about...10:45 Two beliefs: creationism vs. evolutionism. Means of concentrating elements have changed. -Synthetic THC, gravity bombs, etc...13:45 A kid took two hits and lost his mind; scary thing to watch. Deaths associated with synthetic cannabinoids It's impossible to kill yourself with real cannabis You want a total plant extract; CBD provides benefits but works better with other cannabinoids present. Actually grows new brain cells. -Oversaturation of cannabis-related products in the marketplace...17:00 If you use a lot of it, you could be getting your body to produce less natural cannabinoids. CBD protein, pre-workout, products. Ben has a high tolerance for stimulants like and caffeine due to his upbringing. Varying reactions to caffeine/CBD combinations. Don't take grapefruit with medication. -How I and my kids are increasing our levels of BDNF, which are naturally low...22:05 Drinking ; using the 3x/week. Side effects of low levels of BDNF. Not enough Not optimal cognitive ability The ins and outs of "smart drugs." I'm not as into them as I once was. -What it was like to start a supplement company, and a progress report 1 year into it...27:30 Began with just a few supplements: , etc. I don't want to be "the face" of the company. I want the products to stand for themselves. I'm behind the scenes, formulating the supplements. We partner with some companies, like . Their labels contain the logo.  The process from idea to opening the company...  Took around 2 1/2 years. We follow books like , and , .  I formulate supplements because I want it, and figure there are others that need it too. headquarters are in Boulder, CO; we use Slack and Voxer to operate remotely. Best selling product is the . Rather than focus on "long tail" concepts, I focus on specific pain points: sleep, longevity, joints, etc. We want people to have just a few supplements in their cupboard. You have to create a high number of SKU's, OR have a huge following in one specific area. -The financial investments and human labor that went into founding Kion...41:30 Initial investment: $100k from a friend, who is an investment partner. I invest in a lot of nutrition, fitness, , etc. companies. Kion has a board of 5 business-savvy members. Everything else I've financed personally. We're in the green less than a year into it. Same growth curve as companies that have been around for 3+ years. Due to existing traction from the podcast, email list, etc. Relationship capital is HUGE. It's not about cold calling... I have a spreadsheet that's a virtual rolodex of influencers Address to send free product Ask them to share on social media Relationships make it easy to decide who to listen to, what products to promote, etc. Having assistants who make our schedule is actually far less stressful than feeling like we're in control of everything. I've successfully built my business hiring experts who can focus on just one particular element of the business. i.e. scheduling, podcasts, etc. (H/T to Gary Keller's .) It's futile to build a huge following on social media and promoting products. Although it's a temporary success, what do you really have to be proud of? It's an unsustainable business model. I'm more concerned with creating a legacy with Kion, my books, podcast, etc. -The risk in terms of your own sanity in being consumed with your appearance...55:00 Look at celebrities using botox, plastic surgery. The body changes, ages. You realize money isn't that important. Focus on building YOU, rather than your image. No one on their death bed wishes they made more money. They wish they had more family time, practicing spirituality: meditation, gratitude, connecting with a higher power. There's a lot to be gained by abstaining from certain comforts of life. Delayed gratification. How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to build? -Balancing scientific truth and spiritual truth...1:04:00 Light is the first thing created. Research has shown that the primary way in which cells communicate is via biophotonic signaling. There's a reason I'm not paleo... The first people were gardeners; EVERYTHING was good. Science itself eliminates the idea that you can have only science and no moral code. We have a built-in morality that some scientists claim to disprove. -What kinds of things do people hire me for? How to exercise and stay in shape for leisure activities and meet business demands. Blood and biomarker interpretation. Create meal plans based on their own lifestyle. I'm the CEO of their health. Consult with pro sports teams: Miami Heat. Optimize light Micro adjustments that take a team from good to great. Mostly for personal health reasons, rather than outperforming competitors. -Things I do to mitigate jet lag...1:25:45 Circadian cues: light, movement, food. Get into natural light ASAP; block LED lights. Avoid eating on the airplane as much as possible. Recommend macadamia nuts, gum, stevia, electrolyte tablets. Wait until the first regular time to eat a meal. Ex. You land at 2 am, wait until normal breakfast time to eat. DON'T SKIP BREAKFAST! Mimic your movements in the new location, i.e. exercise time. Look for a park; walk in your bare feet. Find a sauna and pool. . -The newest science in anti-aging and longevity research...1:36:30 Calorie restriction memetics , Astragalus Using fasting to build muscle mass. Interval training. When you drop your calories, your metabolism adjusts. Staggered fasting helps mitigate that adjustment. NAD precursors: , , nicotinamide riboside (NR) Primary signaling molecules in our body are free radicals. Fecal transplants. -What are some things I've eliminated from my protocol?...1:58:52 Probiotics -Whether I've ever experimented with my cholesterol levels for strength increases...2:04:34 Is any increase in strength because of fat-soluble vitamins, or because it's an increase in cholesterol? I try to keep my total cholesterol above 200. -The significance of consuming the RIGHT minerals into your diet...2:08:30 Your body needs to be rich in minerals in order to respond to light signals. Drink salt water vs. tap water. Celtic salt is higher than other types of salt. Why a couple of dill kosher pickles relieves a headache. On a quarterly basis, I test for hydroxy vitamin D, calcium, red blood cell magnesium, CO2, chloride levels. I pay the most attention to chloride levels and magnesium. Cramping during exercise is rarely due to mineral depletion or dehydration. Due to an alpha motor neuron reflex. To reverse this cramp, taste something incredibly salty or incredibly spicy. The taste causes a motor neuron reflex and relieves the cramp. -My reaction to being labeled the “pseudoscience guy”...2:20:30 Religion and spirituality are very difficult to prove. Some things such as cells communicating via biophotonics light signaling have been proven since the 1700's; it's just not common knowledge. People are afraid of it, or it disrupts the status quo. There's a certain amount of "industry manipulation" on the information we receive. -My opinion on the upcoming debates between Layne Norton/Dominic D'Agostino and Chris Kresser/Joel Kahn on the Joe Rogan Podcast...2:27:30 Resources mentioned in this episode: -The crew for fat loss, muscle gain, mobility, sports performance and more. -My previous 3 podcasts with the MindPump guys: - -Book:  by Ryan Holiday -Book:  - by Aubrey Marcus - - -15% off first purchase - - (BDNF) - - -Article:  -Book:  by Keith Ferrazzi -Website: | Men's Interests and Lifestyle -Book:  by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan - - - -Book:  by Ben Greenfield - - - -Video:  - Episode Sponsors: - Brighten your mind.

**This episode does contain adult themes. Listener discretion advised.** Midweek Thoughts are shorter and easily digestible episodes for those in a time crunch. You'll hear about the books and music that impact us, and what we took away from it. This week, Jon shares about a book he's been listening to that is called "Sex At Dawn" by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan. He goes into how human sexuality was viewed back in the dawn of mankind, and how it's morphed into how we view it today. Tim shares his take on what Jon shares, and they try to crack jokes (immature ones at that), on the fascinating topic of human sexuality.

Christopher Ryan, author of Sex At Dawn, and fellow podcaster of Tangentially Speaking, visits the mountain town of Telluride Colorado along with his partner in shine, Cacilda Jethá, and they catch me in the act of attaching a fan note to their van. Then Chris offers to record a conversation with me for my podcast.After Chris and I finished recording our conversation, I had the great pleasure of getting in a bonus conversation with Cacilda. Join us in this episode, where we explore the space between life and death. May it serve you as a seamless blending of entertainment and education.Thank you for your listenership. I sincerely appreciate your time and attention. Stream this episode, read the notes, follow the links, check out the resources, and so much more over at the blog on my website.

Christopher Ryan and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think. Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House, and the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films.Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his wife, Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York’s Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians translate and publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to return to school to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA.Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner.Chris's latest book is called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy and he hosts a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to rattlesnake experts.

Open relationships. We've all heard about them. But how do they work? Would one be right for you? And how can you even broach the subject with your partner? And then, if you get into one, do you need to set rules? Can they change? Do you need to ask for permission beforehand, or take video footage to share with your partner afterwards? It gets very complicated very quickly, and in this special episode, we set out to answer all these questions and more. The goal isn't to unconditionally praise open relationships, but to explore what they are, how they work, and what the many benefits and pitfalls can be. First off, we dig into the biological and anthropological history of monogamy. Andrea breaks down some of the dodgy science being cited by open relationship evangelists, while Jon takes the side of Chris Ryan (author of Sex atDawn) and his argument against the idea that monogamy is simply 'natural'. Why is this all so emotionally charged for us in the first place, though? In large part, it's because we've been fed a gluttonous diet of unrealistic and idealised versions of what 'true love' is and should be through TV, movies, books, and magazines. But real life and real people aren't so simple (or so boring). Few people are sexually monogamous with one person for their whole lives, so it raises the question of why being serially monogamous is somehow 'better' than getting jiggy with multiple people at the same time. Jealousy is the obvious issue here, and it's one of the biggest fears about open relationships: How will I be able to deal with my partner being intimate with someone else? But jealousy doesn't have to be a bad thing. Relationship counsellor Esther Perel argues that jealousy is 'an erotic rage', which can be channelled in positive directions – to inspire you to bring your best self to your relationship, to recharge your energy and really take your investment in your partner to the next level. And that shouldn't be confused with possessiveness. Possessiveness is when we try to keep our partners on a short leash because we're afraid and insecure that surely they'll leave us if we even give them a sniff of other possibilities. If the fear of being open is that your partner might fall for someone else and run away with them, it's worth pausing to reflect that they can always do that anyway, unless you physically lock them in the house. In any case, exploring an open relationship is neither a recipe for an immediate jealousy implosion nor abundant wall-to-wall orgies. As Jon explains from personal experience, it's more of a crash course in confronting your deepest insecurities. To work well, open relationships require morecommunication, morewillingness to be vulnerable, moretrust, and so on. This isn't the absence of commitment, but a much more active and conscious approach to that commitment. It's a process – often an immensely challenging one – which can be incredibly rewarding for your personal development, self-understanding, and your ability to remove the masks of fear and truly connect with another person. Jon shares plenty of stories from his own experiences of open relationships – including his many fuck-ups – and why, despite all the challenges, he wouldn't want to go back to monogamy. Andrea is, if not on the other side of the debate, at least standing on the fence, so this is a juicy discussion rather than a manifesto. But being a discussion – and on such a hot topic – we want your questions! Get in touch via our Facebook Groupor through hello@voicesinthedark.world. We'll be recording a follow-up episode where we dig into the digital mailbag to continue the conversation.   Also Including: Why being teammates is the most romantic kind of relationship How to deal with strong emotional reactions Are threesomes the gateway drug to open relationships? Erotic rage! 'You're mine' vs. 'I'm yours' Using the right language to discuss emotional issues Find Out More: Chris Ryan and Cacilda Jethá's landmark book, Sex at Dawn Esther Perel Aubrey Marcus's Open Relationship Field Guide and other resources – highly recommended Be Silly.

Author and psychologist, Christopher Ryan, talks with Caitlin about the prehistoric origins of human sexuality and how they influence our modern sexual behavior. Ever wondered whether humans are meant to be monogamous, or when we started to look at our sexual partners as private property? The authors of the extraordinary book on sexual evolution *Sex at Dawn,* Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan, study our primate legacy and explain how it shaped human sexual behavior. In this episode, Ryan talks about the purpose of sexual relations in matriarchal and male-dominated societies, why what we believe about our primate origins is doing us more harm than good as a species, and how to reposition your own beliefs about what is and isn't a sexual taboo. Stick around after the interview for when Ben Schuman-Stoler joins Caitlin Schiller to talk about the main takeaways from the conversation with Christopher Ryan and helps put together a book list for further reading on sexual evolution, bodies, and biology.

Stick around after the interview for when Ben Schuman-Stoler joins Caitlin Schiller to talk about the main takeaways from the conversation with Christopher Ryan and helps put together a book list for further reading on sexual evolution, bodies, and biology.

Aubrey Marcus is the CEO and founder of Onnit, a company dedicated to human optimization and peak performance. I like what Aubrey had to say because it’s not just what you’d typically think of when you hear the words “optimize” or “peak performance.” He says, “You gotta live a life that’s worth living. Live a life that’s well-rounded, balanced and includes the things like having a glass of wine or smoking a joint and making love to your lover, playing with your dog and hanging out, but also being extremely productive, also meditating, also eating right, also training like a beast." And his philosophy is backed up by clinical studies. He really has the science to prove his theories. So I'm testing them all.  Show Notes Onnit Own the Day Own Your Life by Aubrey Marcus Alpha Brain Also Mentioned The Joe Rogan Experience Kettlebells My interview with Rich Roll My interview with Freeway Rick Ross (the infamous drug dealer and now philanthropist)  Alpha Brain Ginko Huperzia Serrata  Acetylcholine system (responsible for memory, sharpness, focus) Gaba Dopamine Serotonin Boston Center for Memory (this is where Aubrey did his clinical trials for Alpha Brain) Aubrey’s interview with Tim Ferriss Aubrey’s interview with Gary Vaynerchuk Tim Ferris’ video working out with kettlebells  Brody Miller Rodger Huerta The steel mace The steel club Zeitgeber (the external cues that help sync your circadian rhythm) The Human Charger (light emitting earbuds)  Wim Hof method Norepinephrine Chronic stress Snus (a Swedish tobacco company)  The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz The Mastery of Love: A Practical Guide to the Art of Relationship: A Toltec Wisdom Book by Don Miguel Ruiz You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter by Dr. Joe Dispenza A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Practicing the Power of Now: Essential Teachings, Meditations, and Exercises From The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Island by Aldous Huxley Sex at Dawn by Cacilda Jethá and Christopher Ryan I write about all my podcasts!

Dr. Christopher Ryan is co-author of the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), alongside his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA. Chris is finishing a new book for Simon and Schuster tentatively called Civilized to Death: Why Everything's Amazing but Nobody's Happy, —and he puts out a weekly podcast, called Tangentially Speaking, featuring conversations with interesting people, ranging from famous comics to bank robbers to drug smugglers to porn stars to authors to plasma physicists. Visit https://chrisryanphd.com for more. 

Christopher and his work have been featured just about everywhere, including: MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Outside, El Pais, La Vanguardia, Salon, Seed, and Big Think.  A featured speaker from TED in Long Beach, CA to The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House to the Einstein Forum in Pottsdam, Germany, Chris has consulted at various hospitals in Spain, provided expert testimony in a Canadian constitutional hearing, and appeared in well over a dozen documentary films. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships (translated into 15 languages), with his partner-in-crime (and wife), Cacilda Jethá, MD, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at decidedly odd jobs (e.g., gutting salmon in Alaska, teaching English to prostitutes in Bangkok and self-defense to land-reform activists in Mexico, managing commercial real-estate in New York's Diamond District, helping Spanish physicians publish their research). In his mid-30s, Chris decided to pursue doctoral studies in Psychology. Drawing upon his multi-cultural experience, Chris' research focused on distinguishing the human from the cultural, first by focusing on shamanism and ethnobotony—studying how various societies interact with altered states of consciousness and the sacred plants that provoke them—and later, by looking at similarly diverse cultural perspectives on sexuality. His doctoral dissertation was a multi-disciplinary investigation of prehistoric human sexual behavior, guided by the world-renowned psychologist, Stanley Krippner, at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA.

Get the transcript at www.feelgoodenglish.com  I’m going to talk about some fascinating concepts from a book and we're going to go more into the evolution of human sexual behavior in an attempt to understand why we deal with sex the way that we do. Some questions that will be answered are things like are we naturally monogamous? Monogamy, monogamous, is an important word in this episode. Monogamous means having one partner only. The book answers the question, are monogamous relationships natural, the way they should be, or are they impossible to keep based on our instincts? Also going to talk about how casual sex was crucial to our ancestors’ survival, casual sex meaning not committed relationships. And lastly, I will also talk about how agriculture ruined our health and happiness.

“I definitely did something wrong. I betrayed the trust of the person that I love, and that’s a fucked up thing to do. I just didn’t do it as badly as you did.” This week we sail our polyamory ship into the treacherous Cheating Sea. Neither of us come out unscathed. Things discussed this episode: Turns out breasts are a secondary sexual characteristic Episode of This Feels Terrible, hosted by Erin McGathy, where she talks about her relationship with her first boyfriend, and the verrry long conversations they had when she didn’t want to leave and go home Turns out it’s called Correspondence Bias or the Fundamental Attribution Error. Note, Jacqui (a patreon backer) linked me to this fascinating article about the difference in Correspondence Bias between East and West cultures. Give it a read! Alain De Botton - contemporary philosopher. Check out The School Of Life YouTube channel, particularly the videos on relationships. Old Man’s War by John Scalzi Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá, or for the quicker run-down check out the TED talk Turns out it’s hard to know how many people cheat because well, no one wants to admit to it. Also, it’s hard to know definitively what constitutes cheating (an issue discussed this episode!)

Dr. Cacilda Jethá is unlike anyone you've ever met. Guaranteed. My wife, friend, co-author, and partner in crime for the past 15 years, she can't remember how many people have died in front of her, or how many babies she's delivered. She's part Indian, part Persian, part African, part Portuguese, and speaks seven languages. She lives at the nexus of many worlds and moves between them with incredible grace, generosity, and humor.

Aired: 04/28/13 Are human beings monogamous by nature? While granting our tendency to slip, most commentators and scientists seem to believe we are. According to the conventional wisdom, it is in the interests of a woman to keep a male as a protector/provider, and in the interests of a man to provide only for his own children. In the best-selling book, SEX AT DAWN, CHRISTOPHER RYAN and co-author Cacilda Jethá aim to answer the question, "What is the essence of human sexuality and how did it get to be that way?" They contend that, "Cultural shifts that began about ten thousand years ago rendered the true story of human sexuality so subversive and threatening that for centuries it has been silenced by religious authorities, pathologized by physicians, studiously ignored by scientists, and covered up by moralizing therapists." What is that true story? According to Ryan and Jetha, first, "We didn't descend from apes. We are apes." They liken us most to bonobos. Further, "human beings evolved in intimate groups where almost everything was shared - food, shelter, protection, child care, even sexual pleasure." Needless to say, their attempt to overturn the accepted narrative on such a hot topic as sex has led to controversy. RYAN joins me this week to explore these questions.
