Podcasts about Desire

Does sex feel like a chore to you? According to 86% of our audience? Yes. Maybe sex doesn't feel great. Maybe it it's more about your partner getting their needs met than you. Maybe it's just started to feel like another thing to check off your list. But maybe the issue isn't sex at all. Maybe it's that you're carrying too much — between the keeping the household running (and kind of clean), parenting logistics, and the weight of every single thing it takes to adult… It's not that sex is a chore: it's that chores are sabotaging your sex life! In this episode, we're breaking down how mental load affects desire, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction (spoiler alert: a lot more than you think). And of course, we're sharing practical tools to help lighten the load and bring the connection back.

Have you ever heard of FOMO? It's the “fear of missing out,” and it's something we all experience in different seasons for different reasons. But what if you're not missing out at all? What if—even if you're not quite where you want to be—you're exactly where you're supposed to be? In this episode, Meghan Ryan Asbury will help you see that the life you have is the life you actually want. She'll equip you to cast off the pressures of comparison, mitigate the disappointment that comes with unmet expectations, and embrace the in-between of where you are and where you want to be. Spoiler Alert: You might be surprised by how much joy is available to you on this day, in this season! So, if you've ever felt like life is passing you by and you're falling behind, listen in, and get ready to build a life you love with the one you already have.

We live in a world today that is far from wise. The lack of wisdom is very evident.  The gibberish we hear passing for wisdom to some contains no real wisdom. On today's program, we will meet and visit with a man who has changed the world in many ways. He's a man who didn't have a lot of use for normal school type of learning, but God gave him a desire to create. Then one day he began praying for wisdom and God opened the doors to the things that changed the world of archery and even music!

What does an unwillingness to believe the gospel reveal about us? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to John 5:30–47 to reveal how our deepest desires shape our beliefs.

In this episode, we speak with Alexander Stoffel about his new book Eros and Empire, which traces the transnational roots of sexual freedom movements in the U.S. From gay liberation to Black lesbian feminism and AIDS activism, Stoffer shows how desire has been both constrained by and mobilized against imperial and capitalist systems. Together, we explore how a Marxist approach to desire can open new paths for solidarity beyond the boundaries of the bourgeois state.Eros and Empire: https://www.sup.org/books/politics/eros-and-empireSupport the showVintagia Pre-Launch: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/acidhorizon/vintagia-i-ching-oracle-for-psychogeographers-and-creatives Support the podcast:https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcast Boycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/ Join The Schizoanalysis Project: https://discord.gg/4WtaXG3QxnSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438 LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

Have you ever wondered why the spark seems to fade over time?Desire doesn't disappear because something's wrong. It fades because everything is the same.I explain the science behind why familiarity suppresses desire and how we mistakenly attribute pleasure to the person (like a number three) rather than the physiological reaction in our own body.I also share what we can do to bring desire back in a long-term relationship… without waiting on our partner to figure it out.Desire isn't magic. But with a little effort and intention, it can be reawakened.Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

Join Shawn, Travis, Todd, and Lee as they tackle the Berlin Wall, not with hammers, but with compelling cinema. This episode kicks off with a deep dive into the iconic 'Wings of Desire,' before our hosts reveal their personal, must-see movie picks that illuminate this historic barrier. Discover new films and fresh perspectives on one of history's most compelling symbols.

This episode is a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood parts of modern relationships: desire. We unpack what desire really is (and what it isn’t), explore why it fades in long-term partnerships, and get honest about why feeling touched-out, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsupported makes intimacy feel like the last thing on your mind. We talk about spontaneous vs. responsive desire, the impact of resentment, and what actually turns us off, from the mental load to incapable partners. You’ll also hear about the surprising concept of narcissistic validation and why many women feel most turned on when they feel deeply wanted. Whether your sex drive has flatlined, feels confusing, or you just want more clarity, this episode will help you understand desire in a whole new way.

In today's message, Pastor Jack emphasizes the power of faith and the importance of aligning our desires with God's promises. He reminds us that faith is the substance of things hoped for, and it requires us to speak and believe boldly, even when circumstances seem discouraging. Pastor Jack shares personal stories and biblical examples, like Lazarus and the three Hebrew men, to illustrate how God works through our faith and how the enemy often intensifies challenges to test our resolve.

How do you order your "temple"? Through honest stories and practical insight, Andrew and Marco explore how temperance orders our passions, with the goal of living in greater freedom and integrity. Andrew discusses how asexuality, often viewed as a neutral stance, is an enemy of temperance as it disconnects us from the full reality of our embodied humanity. True peace with our bodies and sexual desires isn't about suppression, but integration. It's about becoming more fully human.

Since the late 1990s, the multiplex in India has emerged as a dominant site of media exhibition, almost always embedded within the shopping mall. This spatial pairing has transformed the experience of moviegoing, making it impossible to inhabit one space without also passing through the other. The rise of the mall-multiplex signals a broader shift in the spectatorial imagination: away from cinema halls built for the subaltern male viewer, toward environments curated for the aspiring, mobile, and consuming middle-class woman. Projecting Desire: Media Architectures and Moviegoing in Urban India (NYU Press, 2025) tells the story of this infrastructural and cultural transformation as it unfolded across media industries, architectural design, urban planning, and popular cinema. Tracing the multiplex's evolution in post-liberalization India, Tupur Chatterjee reveals how this new built form not only reconfigured cinematic space, but also reshaped the aesthetics, publics, and gendered politics of the contemporary Indian city. Rather than narrating a linear history of technological replacement, the book situates the multiplex within a longer genealogy of postcolonial urban design—one marked by caste- and class-based anxieties around visibility, safety, and leisure. It argues that the architectural mediation of cinema is central to how desire, modernity, and risk are organised in India's media cities. Drawing on industrial and organisational ethnography, in-depth interviews, participant observation, discourse and textual analysis, and archival research, Projecting Desire maps the multiplex as a space where film, infrastructure, and aspiration intersect. In doing so, it offers a critical framework for understanding how gendered publics are produced through the infrastructures of cinematic experience in the Global South.

Ancient yoga texts call it sama-darshana—equal vision. It's the ability to see the soul in every being, regardless of their body, background, or even behavior. And according to the sages, it's not just a lofty idea—it's the very foundation of a life well-lived. Here's the twist: it's not just the moral thing to do—it's the key to happiness, peace of mind, and, ultimately, a graceful exit from this world. In contrast, the pursuit of material fulfillment becomes a path of emptiness. Listen in as Raghunath and Kaustubha reflect on the yogi's mindset: to live in a way that places no one else in difficulty, and to love in a way that clears the heart of all fear and resentment. Key Highlights: •⁠  ⁠Sama-darshana—the yogic practice of seeing beyond externals •⁠  ⁠Why a life of non-harm and kindness clears the path to liberation •⁠  ⁠“My name is King Yayati, and I'm a sex addict.” •⁠  ⁠How material desire drives us to harm even those we love •⁠  ⁠How spiritual vision helps us let go—without fear or bitterness •⁠  ⁠And how chasing sense gratification will make a goat out of us.

Love isn't just a feeling, it's a pattern. And patterns, when understood, can be changed. We are the descendants of beings who bonded, lusted, and survived—not by chance, but by biology. In this episode, we explore the elegant architecture of love, divided into three distinct experiences: lust, attraction, and attachment. Each has its own hormonal symphony: testosterone's drive, dopamine's thrill, oxytocin's warmth. But these chemicals, while essential, are not our destiny. We must choose how we respond to them. The opportunity lies in seeing love not just as passion, but as a practice—a practice of self-awareness, empathy, and intentionality. Reframe love from chaos to conscious experience. Observe your emotions without becoming them. Build connection that outlasts dopamine spikes. Your biology is the system, but your awareness can evolve it. UPGRADE to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:

Raghunath and Kaustubha dive into the comical yet piercingly honest downfall of King Yayāti and explore how the ancient Vedic culture didn't just shame desire—it organized it, regulated it, and ultimately helped one transcended it.
