Ep 160 Description:  "Sexuality is ours. It isn't something we bring from the outside. It isn't dependent on having a partner. We can connect to that channel of sexuality, which is pure life force at any moment." —Naoli Vinaver   Pain is not the inevitable companion of childbirth—pleasure is. Women have been systematically disconnected from the profound energetic and sexual potential of their birthing experiences. But what if we challenge everything we've been told about how babies enter the world? Naoli Vinaver is a veteran midwife with nearly 40 years of experience revolutionizing birth practices. Her groundbreaking work explores the intersection of sexuality, healing, and childbirth, challenging cultural taboos and empowering women to reclaim their most intimate experiences. Tune in as Debra and Naoli dive deep into the transformative power of pleasure, revealing how masturbation, tantric techniques, and sexual energy can turn childbirth from a feared ordeal into a transcendent, healing journey of self-discovery and empowerment.   Connect with Debra!

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host What are the little things we do—often without realizing—that can completely ruin intimacy in our relationships? From skipping foreplay to bringing stress into the bedroom, there are certain habits that slowly ruin intimacy instead of building deeper connection and pleasure. Even with the best intentions, behaviors like faking orgasms, avoiding honest conversations, or focusing only on performance can ultimately ruin intimacy and leave both partners feeling disconnected. In this episode of The Pleasure Zone, Milica Jelenic explores the 10 Sexual Don'ts That Ruin Intimacy—the subtle and not-so-subtle mistakes that can derail desire and passion. You'll discover why presence is more erotic than performance, how foreplay and afterplay are just as important as “the main event,” and why consent and communication are non-negotiable if you want thriving intimacy. We'll also dive into how stress and cortisol sabotage your erotic energy, why comparing your sex life to porn or past partners is a connection killer, and the surprising ways ignoring your own body can distance you from both pleasure and your partner. Each “don't” is paired with an invitation to shift into greater awareness, playfulness, and embodied pleasure. If you've ever wondered why intimacy fades, what drains erotic energy, or how to rekindle passion in your relationship, this conversation offers both gentle truths and practical tools you can use right away.

What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure??? Milica Jelenic is an advocate for pleasure. In her private practice she invites clients to create life and lifestyle that offers more pleasure and vitality. Milica's intuitive ability to sense where change is possible and to question what is stuck in the target area creates a very dynamic session that promotes choice, possibility and change.   Milica has impacted the lives and health of individuals both in Canada and abroad with her humor, kindness, gentleness, potency and intensity.

In this candid conversation, couples and sex therapist Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT joins Dr. Marianne to explore how developmental trauma shapes attachment styles, body image, sexual desire, and day-to-day intimacy. Nicole explains what developmental trauma is, how it differs from or overlaps with complex PTSD, and why chronic misattunement in childhood can echo through adult relationships, stress responses, and self-regulation. You will hear practical, compassionate strategies to rebuild safety, agency, and connection in your body and with your partner. What You'll Learn Developmental trauma 101: How repeated misattunement and lack of repair in childhood influence trust, safety, and the nervous system in adulthood. Attachment and sex: How anxious and avoidant patterns can create desire pursuer–withdrawer cycles, sensitivity to rejection, and misaligned invitations for sex. Body image and pleasure: Why self-loathing, dissociation, and low interoceptive awareness can shift sex from pleasure to performance and how to return to embodied enjoyment. Masturbation as self-care: Ways self-pleasure can restore agency, support trauma recovery, and improve partnered intimacy through curiosity, consent, and pacing. Desire discrepancy: How to reframe a declined invitation as information rather than personal rejection and how to stay connected when desire levels differ. Pelvic and sexual pain: How chronic stress and hypervigilance can contribute to issues like vaginismus and pelvic floor tension and why relaxation and safety matter. Neurodivergence and RSD: Tools for identifying rejection sensitive dysphoria in the moment and naming it with your partner to reduce spirals and repair faster. Eroticism and aliveness: Gentle, stepwise practices that rebuild embodiment and pleasure, from sensing music and movement to sharing desire with a partner. Key Takeaways Trauma adaptations are creative survival strategies. They deserve respect while you learn new options that fit your current life. Pleasure requires enough safety, agency, and self-worth to receive and enjoy it. These ingredients can be rebuilt. Honest conversations about boundaries, pacing, and permission support intimacy more than duty or performance. Small, consistent body-based practices help restore interoception, reduce hypervigilance, and widen your window of tolerance during sex and affection. Gentle Practices to Try Name your nervous system state: Am I keyed up, shut down, or settled. Choose regulation first. Solo exploration with care: Treat self-pleasure like self-nurture. Slow it down. Focus on sensation, comfort, and curiosity. Low-stakes embodiment: Sway to a favorite song, notice breath, enjoy soft fabrics, or feel grass under your feet. Build from neutral to pleasant sensations. Clear invitations and exits: Ask for what you want. Offer options. Affirm that no is welcome. Agree on easy ways to pause or change course. Rejection reframe: A no is information about timing or capacity, not your worth. Validate disappointment and stay connected.

Oct 5, 2025GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchMatthew 5:27-30The High Price of Lust1. Jesus upholds the sufficient sanctity of marriage, v. 27-28 • Genesis 2:24God's design for marriage… a) priority loyalty- “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother… b) lifelong loyalty- …and hold fast to his wife… c) bodily loyalty- …and they shall become one flesh.” 2. The eye reveals what is in the heart, v. 28Lust does four things… a) starts with dissatisfaction b) turns people into things c) teaches you to relate to the world out of your appetites instead of your understanding d) trains you to sow to the flesh • Galatians 6:7-8 • Galatians 5:19-21Signs You Are Sowing to the Flesh 1) Pleasure becomes your master- "sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality . . .” 2) Worship is misplaced- “. . . idolatry, sorcery . . .” 3) Conflict is your pattern- “. . . enmity, strife, jealousy . . .” 4) You can't control your emotions- “. . . fits of anger . . .” 5) Competitiveness is your posture- “..rivalries, dissensions, divisions . . .” 6) You refuse to celebrate others- “. . . envy . . .” 7) Escapism is a way of life- “. . . drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.”3. Jesus is trying to change the way we view sin, v. 29-31 • Matthew 7:24-27Mental worship… 1. In your opinion, have Christians changed the way the culture views marriage or has the culture changed the way Christians view marriage?  2. Is there anybody or anything that you currently desire too much? 3. What struck you today as something you will need to think more about?  4. If you are a Christian, how has your view of sin changed since you came to faith?  5. How do you feel when the rain, floods and wind beat down on your life?

There are some women whose very presence let alone wisdom, radiance and deliciousness, uplifts you to a whole new dimension of pleasure, possibility and power in your life. Susan Bratton is one of those incredible women. Known as the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” she's authored over 44 books and programs on sex, love, and relationships, and it was such a delight to welcome her back to the podcast after nearly a decade. Her level of heart centered juicy bold service to humanity is breathtaking.  In this yummy, candid and electrifying conversation we explored… -How Susan's work began by desiring to enhance her marriage (now married 34 years) then publishing her mentors' teachings, and has since evolved into her own legacy of helping people expand their orgasmic potential, deepen bedroom communication, and experience over 20 kinds of orgasms- yes 20! -Why women's arousal operates on a completely different tempo than men's, and how slowing down, honoring engorgement, ASKING for what we need can completely change your sex life (as Susan taught me a decade ago- no clue I could ask for 20 minutes of what turned me on PRIOR to penetration) -Her frank advice to men and couples on questions ranging from inverted nipples to overcoming numbness, shame, or painful sex with tools like pumps, massage techniques, toys, and loving touch. -The importance of awakening the entire yoni, not just the clitoris, and how activating the full pelvic bowl can transform numbness into exquisite sensation and multiple orgasms. -How my sexual healing, somatic integration and own journey through trauma since Susan's last guest appearance on the Podcast, CAN & WILL open the door to more profound pleasure and presence… with Susan's gentle guidance, heartfelt erotic visualizations and fierce loving encouragement.  -Susan's reminder that sex toys aren't competition, but “cross-training for your orgasmic potential,” and how they can awaken tissue, strengthen neural pathways, and expand intimacy between partners. -The surprising role oxytocin plays in pleasure, intimacy, and vitality, and how Susan restored hers through probiotic yogurt after illness depleted her system and how my parasite cleanse is beckoning the replacement of healthy bacteria for gut health and the restoration of oxytocin.  -Susan's wisdom at 64, radiating confidence, joy, and generosity, fueled by decades of devoted practice, a loving 34-year marriage, and an unapologetic embrace of her orgasmic lifestyle. I want to be Susan when I grow up ;-)  This conversation is a sensual treasure chest of erotic wisdom, practical tools, soul-deep inspiration and the power of long term entrepreneurial sisterhood connection over a decade.. Susan reminds us that pleasure is not frivolous in the slightest, but foundational to health, vitality, joy, youthfulness, generosity and of course, delicious intimacy.

Sometimes, fighters do so much to enrage the MMA fan base, that frankly everyone wants to see these guys lose. These losses actually feel deserved. Whether it was Michael Bisping endless trash talking Dan Henderson on the Ultiimate Fighter, James Gallagher endlessly taunting Ricky Bandejas in Bellator or Tony Kelley setting his sights on the entire country of Brazil and getting shut down by Adrian Yanez for it....these losses all felt pretty darn good.

How to Heal from Internalized Narcissism and Reclaim Your Pleasure   Shame has long been one of the most powerful tools of control — keeping women small, silent, and disconnected from their bodies across generations. In this episode, Eve sits down with Emma Lyons, founder of Trauma Matrix, to explore how shame shows up, why it's deeply tied to patriarchy and narcissistic systems, and how to finally break up with your inner narcissist. Together, they unpack how shame infiltrates our nervous systems, fuels self-sabotage, and contributes to mental, emotional, and physical illness. You'll discover a step-by-step system called BREAK to interrupt the shame trance, reclaim your sovereignty, and live without shame. If you've ever struggled with negative self-talk, perfectionism, or the burden of cultural conditioning, this episode shows you how to see shame for what it is — a lie you no longer have to carry. Why shame is the gasoline that powers trauma, dysfunction, and emotional suppression The links between shame, autoimmune disease, depression, and internal sabotage How the inner critic mirrors a narcissist living inside your psyche The BREAK method to dismantle shame and heal your inner world: B – Break the trance R – Refuse to engage E – Expose the lie A – Anchor your truth K – Kick it out Why reclaiming shamelessness is a radical act of self-love, empowerment, and decolonizing your body The difference between polishing a “cage of shame” versus actually freeing yourself Guest: Emma Lyons — Founder of Trauma MatrixFree Gift from Emma: 5 Signs It's Time to Break Up with Your Inner Narcissist → http://tinyurl.com/nottodaynarc Support the Podcast: Please Me!

“Hedonism is the willingness to experience the orgasmic quality of the joy and fun of living. It is constant pleasure seeking – every moment of every day. It is the willingness to make your life a pleasure instead of a pain.” ~ Gary Douglas Do you seek pleasure in your life, or do you seek to avoid or get through the pain of it? When you have the point of view that your body is a pain, your relationship is a pain, your finances are a pain, then you shall find that as your reality. Your point of view will become that which you seek. More pain. If you were to destroy those points of view and become a seeker for pleasure, then your whole living can become a source of pleasure. Let's explore more in the Curious Universe! Let's go deeper into the possibilities of pleasure together! Join me for Wizardry, a 12-month program to create a truly magical, pleasurable living.

From guilt and disconnection to not knowing what you truly want, we explore what needs to shift so you can reclaim your body, your desire, and your confidence. If you've ever felt out of touch with your own pleasure, this conversation will guide you back to yourself, with more ease, playfulness, and self-trust.

In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.  The Question: “I'm 23 years old and have never had an orgasm. I have a wonderful boyfriend, whom I very much enjoy having sex with, but cannot finish, and have not been able to with the other people I've slept with. I also masturbate relatively frequently, and have tried a few different toys, and manual stimulation as well. I recently talked to my friend about this, who suggested watching porn to see if this helped, but I really just couldn't get into it. I have a pretty active brain, and sometimes will struggle to be fully in the moment. Even when I'm turned on, and enjoying it, I don't know if I'm able to be fully present. Am I broken? I know you usually say that everyone is different, but I often find sex and masturbation feels “nice” with smaller pockets of pleasure. My boyfriend is great, and priorities making me feel good with going down on me, encouraging me to use toys when we're together etc, but I still can't. Is it possible that I just am not capable of orgasming? I'd really appreciate your opinions and advice." What We Cover in This Episode: Not having an orgasm doesn't mean you're broken. We break down the orgasm trap and explain how pressure can make it harder to cum. The biggest orgasm blockers. Stress, shame, “shoulds,” and a wandering mind are some of the most common things that get in the way. How to get out of your head during sex. Grounding tools and easy practices to bring your brain back into your body. Pleasure beyond your usual go-to's. Why focusing only on our go-to's (like penetration) can stall your pleasure and what else to explore instead. Fun ways to shake up your routine. From massage to toys to new locations, we share fresh ideas to make intimacy exciting again. How to talk to your partner about orgasm struggles. Scripts and conversation tips that make asking for support feel sexy instead of stressful. Why small wins matter more than the big O. Celebrating little pockets of pleasure helps you build confidence and move closer to orgasm. When to call in the pros. Pelvic floor PTs, sex therapists, and sex-positive doctors can help work through deeper blocks. ⁠Join our Patreon and access exclusive content HERE!

"Wait For Fire Burning" Formed in Oakland in 1985, Legal Reins were comprised of singer/guitarist Danny Benatar, bassist Eden Unger and drummer Tim Freund. They tore up the Bay Area scene, playing show after show and cementing themselves as one of the best live bands around. This is a band who did the work, got in the reps and eclipsed the Gladwellian idea of 10,000 hours. Opening for everyone from Madness to Killing Joke, Legal Reins proved themselves time and again that they could step on any stage and match anyone in terms of power and heart. Their exhilarating blend of sweeping pop epics and punchy hook laden rock and roll brought to mind everyone from The Sound to Echo and the Bunnymen to the Waterboys. After a bit of a bidding war, they signed to Arista in 1987, put out their debut album Please, The Pleasure soon after and then? Well, then things turned the other way. I'm going to let Tim tell you the story, but let me say this: In 1986 I was the music director of KVHS, an all-metal station located conveniently on my high school campus. I was in the habit of sneaking in The Smiths and The Chameleons in between Accept and Venom just to see if anyone noticed--they did, by the way. It was slightly terrifying to be 16 and getting death threats for not playing King Diamond, but I digress. Legal Reins called me up and they were very kind and I loved their music and one time I played them in between Y&T and Armored Saint and this one guy called up and said, very aggressively, Who was that you played after Y&T? I told him Legal Reins and he was quiet for second and then he said, That was pretty good...

Czechtember 2025 wraps with Jan Švankmajer's Conspirators of Pleasure (1996), a delirious, dialogue-free plunge into fetish and surrealism. Mike teams up with filmmaker Jim Vendiola and critic Samm Deighan to unravel the tangled lives of six Prague eccentrics whose private obsessions—ranging from papier-mâché contraptions to elaborate role-play—collide in hilariously unsettling ways. The result is a darkly comic meditation on desire, ritual, and the pleasures of the bizarre, filtered through Švankmajer's singular stop-motion, tactile textures, and Surrealist imagination.We're joined by Peter Hames, editor of The Cinema of Jan Svankmajer: Dark Alchemy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.Become a supporter of The Projection Booth at http://www.patreon.com/projectionbooth
