In episode 506 of The Astrology Podcast astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim do a deep dive into the meaning and significations of the fifth house in astrology. This is the fifth installment in our ongoing series on the significations of the 12 houses, where we explore the meanings of each house in detail, going back to the earliest sources and conceptualizations in the astrological tradition. Our discussion on the fifth house will be broken into three parts, and in this initial episode, we focus on providing a comprehensive overview of its core significations and meanings. We begin by establishing the conceptual foundations for the meaning of the fifth house, which was known in ancient astrology as the Place of Good Fortune. Some of the principles we use to derive its meaning are the fact that it is a succedent house that follows the fourth, its positive trine aspect to the Ascendant, and the fact that Venus has her joy there. These concepts establish the fifth house as a place of bodily pleasures, the continuation of the family lineage, and generally positive and fortunate circumstances. The core significations of the fifth house that we explore in detail include: children, good fortune, pleasure and enjoyment, sex and sexuality, and creativity. This episode provides a detailed survey of the topics associated with the fifth house, drawing on both the traditional textual sources as well as our extensive research of hundreds of birth charts. In part two of this series, we will begin looking at some of these example charts in detail, starting with the ruler of the Ascendant in the fifth house. Then in part three, we will look at the ruler of the fifth house in each of the 12 houses.

In this week's episode, we're putting the reins on the often-overlooked discipline of pleasure driving, diving into what makes a great pleasure driving horse and the intricacies of the show cart. Whether you're a seasoned driver or curious about getting hitched for the first time, we've got you covered! And because it's Poop Week, we have a very special segment just for you where we'll get into the dirty details of composting horse manure.

Who are you as a sexual person? In today's show, we're going to help you answer this question by introducing you to the concept of holistic sexuality, which is different from the way that most of us have been taught to think about sex. We're going to dive into some of the key facets of holistic sexuality that are crucial to know for both self-understanding and for building up your sexual agency. I'm joined by Dr. Juliana Hauser, a licensed marriage and family therapist and licensed professional counselor. In addition to running a successful virtual private practice, Dr. Juliana is a nationally known sex expert whose work has appeared all over in the media. Her latest book is A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure, and Authenticity.  Some of the specific topics we explore include: What are the benefits of looking at sex more holistically? Why is the idea of “sensuality” so crucial to our sexuality? How do we begin to awake our sensuality to learn more about our own sexual style? What is the importance of really understanding our own bodies when it comes to enhancing sexual wellbeing? What are some ways to get more comfortable with our own bodies? You can visit Juliana’s website to learn more about her work. Got a sex question?

In our sermon series, Everything is Meaningless... Or is it?, Pastor Levi Matteson talks about paradoxes from Ecclesiastes 1:12-2:11, including 1) Knowledge Alone Brings Sorrow, 2) Pleasure Can Thrill You but Never Fulfill You, and 3) The Purpose of Pleasure. This episode of the Evangel Houghton podcast is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, September 14, 2025.

In this talk, Self-Control Leads to the Ultimate Pleasure, Rev. Lee Wolak reveals how self-control is not about deprivation but about redirection.

Inspired by how puppies often sleep together, this informal practice involves a group of people lying on top of or nestled against each other, fostering feelings of comfort, security, and connection. It is a recognized form of platonic cuddling used for therapeutic and emotional support.

Key concepts include recognizing the sacred in everyday interactions, cultivating devotion to love, embodying masculine and feminine energies to create sexual polarity, and engaging in personal work to heal wounds and release limitations.BDSM stands for Bondage and Discipline (B&D), Dominance and Submission (D&S), and Sadism and Masochism (S&M), and refers to consensual sexual activities involving power exchange, physical restraints, and sensation play, which can include pain or intense experiences. The core of BDSM is enthusiastic, informed consent, negotiation, and a safety framework that includes "safewords" to pause or stop play and "aftercare" to help participants transition back after the scene.SHA - Sexual Health Alliance Annual Conference October 8-12th where both Betty and Ali will be presentingAASECT - American Association of Sexuality Educators, Councelors and TherapistsBODY BLOG: What Do and Don't Life and Sex Parties Have in Common? by Ali MezeyTanya Diamond - The Artificial Body? with TANJA DIAMOND: Love, Pleasure and AI – PART ONEFor another fantastic, and very different, conversation with Betty Martin, here's an episode from my buddies over at TabooTalks Podcast:https://tabootalks.sisociety.world/podcast/consent-is-sexy-with-dr-betty-martin/HOMUNCULOUS: A man-like representation of the body in the brainSENSORY/TOUCH Homunculus - RIGHT Brain“…the sensory receptors in your body are distributed unevenly. They are densely concentrated in the body parts where you need high acuity and dexterity, and sparse in parts where superior sensory resolution isn't paramount.“…Your finger maps take up one hundred times as much cortical real estate as your torso map because there is a hundred-to-one ratio of touch receptors in your fingers compared to your torso. The actual surface area of your skin where the sensations originate is irrelevant in apportioning your homunculus map; all that matters is the incoming sensory bandwidth. Thus your huge lips and hands but scrawny arms and legs and disappointing rear end.”PRIMARY MOTOR Homunculus - LEFT Brain“The left [motor] homunculus is a representation of date distribution of motor neurons, which generate actions for the body parts show. Think of it as the output, or response-based homunculus. Notice the face is scowling, and the mouth is open, it's tongue sticking out actively as part of a threat display. The back of the torso and legs are shown. For our ancestors, large muscles like the glutes and hamstrings would have to activate to make a quick get-away in case of attack. The voice box is mapped in the figure on the left, as vocalization is also part of active threat displays.”Ellen Heed, Body Mapping e-book[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

Exploring spaciousness as the ground of awakening, Jack Kornfield shows how peace, impermanence, and love are all born from the open heart.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/heartwisdom and get on your way to being your best self.“Meditation centers, temples, ashrams, and spiritual communities are in one fundamental way, places of peace, reminders of the peace and harmony possible for us in our lives.” – Jack KornfieldIn this episode, Jack mindfully explores:The Spacious Heart: The peace and pleasure found in meditation centers, temples, and ashrams, and how spaciousness becomes a refuge in our lives.Shifting Identity: The flexibility of consciousness and how opening beyond the body and self allows us to release ill-will and rest in freedom.Impermanence and Real Love: Stories from India and the Dalai Lama on happiness, letting go into love, and the humor of the “Bang Bang Bang Theory.”Beyond Self-Improvement: Spiritual practice not as fixing or perfecting ourselves, but as resting in our true nature, like the Buddha under the bodhi tree.The Seed of Equilibrium: Spaciousness as the core of awakening—learning balance in the dance of life, loving others without needing to change them, and finding coolness in nirvana.“It's possible to shift. Consciousness is really flexible and fabulous, it can create, expand, and touch anything. When our identity opens to something greater or more timeless, when we see the fleetingness and impermanence of this body that we cling to and realize this is not who we are, then something else becomes possible.” – Jack KornfieldExperience Jack's wisdom through his whimsical storytelling!

In this episode, Sam calls out one of the biggest lies women are fed about motherhood + entrepreneurship: that exhaustion, sacrifice, and seriousness are required to be a ‘good mom' and ‘successful biz owner'. Instead, she flips the script and reminds us that fun is fuel. Play, pleasure, and joy aren't optional extras—they are what keep us grounded, magnetic, and lit up in every area of life. Through raw confessions, cultural myth-busting, and practical invitations, Sam shows how reclaiming fun isn't selfish—it's powerful. Because a mother who is alive, radiant, and in her pleasure is a mother who models expansion for her family and creates overflow in her own life. Key Takeaways: Fun isn't frivolous—it's your power source. Pleasure regulates your nervous system and expands your energy. Kids learn joy, resilience, and aliveness by watching you play. You don't have to choose between motherhood and multidimensionality—you get to have both. Three simple ways to bring more play + pleasure into your life right now.

Ep 156 Description:  "You birth the way you live. This is key." —Anna Lundqvist What if the very thing you've been taught to fear about birth could actually be powerful—even pleasurable? If you've ever wondered why your desires for a calm, connected, or sacred birth feel "too much" or "too radical," you're not alone. In a world where women are told to numb, silence, and surrender their bodies to systems, reclaiming joy in birth isn't just brave—it's revolutionary and rebellious. Anna Lundqvist is a former midwife and the founder of Sacred Birth International, where she mentors birth workers and empowers women through education on physiological, sacred birth. With decades of experience witnessing both clinical and intuitive birth practices, Anna offers grounded, spiritual insight into how women can birth with sovereignty and sensuality. Her global perspective and deep reverence for the feminine make this episode a transformative deep dive into what's possible when we invite pleasure into the birth space. Ready to challenge the narrative and rewrite your own birth story? Hit play to hear how reclaiming pleasure, presence, and power can change everything—from the way you prepare for birth to the way you meet your baby. Expect real talk on orgasmic birth, embodied wisdom, the mind-body connection, and why choosing pleasure is the most rebellious act of all.   Connect with Debra!

The Madams of the Wild West were some of the richest people in the entire country. In this episode, we explore what life would have been like for "soiled doves" of the gold rush era.The west was lawless and DANGEROUS. These women were brave, intelligent, and just as hard (no pun intended) as the men. We not only look at what life would have been like for the Good-Time-Girl in the Old West, but the legacy they left behind. The biggest cities in the Western USA today were funded by the charities, fines, fees, and good wills of these Madams.These women lived extraordinary lives in a treacherous time, and their stories should be told, not hidden from history.
