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.

We often wonder why there are shadows in our lives. And on the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will explain that it’s sometimes because we’ve let something into our lives—some kind of moon blocking the light—come in between us and God, replacing His priority in our lives. What is a moon? It’s a celestial body that doesn’t possess its own light. It only reflects the light that the sun gives it. So, when you join us for the next Treasured Truth, Pastor Ford will ask us, “What has God given to us in our lives, that we’ve allowed it to replace Him?” Treasured Truth is a listener supported program on Moody Radio.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla – May 10, 2025“Pleasure's Empty Promise” – Ecclesiastes 2:1–3 (ESV)In today's devotion, Pastor Balla reflects on the Preacher's experiment with pleasure—laughter, wine, and indulgence—as a path to meaning. Yet even in measured enjoyment, he discovers the same truth: “this also was vanity.”Our culture often chases happiness through entertainment, food, and comfort, hoping to drown out life's deeper questions. But Ecclesiastes reminds us that apart from God, pleasure cannot satisfy. It distracts, but it cannot redeem.Pastor Balla points us to a greater joy—not found in earthly indulgence, but in the presence of God, where there is “pleasures forevermore” (Psalm 16:11, ESV).Discover how the Gospel offers more than temporary amusement: in Christ, we receive the cup of salvation and lasting joy that no worldly pleasure can match.Subscribe, like, and share to spread biblical wisdom and hope in Christ.#EcclesiastesDevotion #PastorBalla #JoyInChrist #LutheranDevotion #VanityOfPleasure

We live in a time when we're more connected than ever, and yet simultaneously more disconnected than ever. We have the world at our fingertips, yet somehow many of us feel like we don't belong anywhere. This experience of longing can lead to a deep sense of loneliness. A loneliness that can be felt by anyone, at any age, even when surrounded by people. To combat this longing, we must learn how to engage in meaningful solitude, an experience of being alone without feeling lonely. We must reclaim lost parts of ourselves, the parts we've abandoned in modern life; such as, meaningful rites of passage, our connection to nature, and our sense of belonging to the land. As we travel through the lush woods, ponder your deepest longing and the ways you might return to yourself. What am I reading?I'm Mostly Here to Enjoy MyselfOne Woman's Pursuit of Pleasure in Paris by Glynis MacNicolhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9780593655757Root and Ritual: Timeless Ways to Connect to Land, Lineage, Community, and the Self by Becca Piastrellihttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781683647720https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Royal Oil by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones What's for dinner?Sausage, Potato, & Asparagus CasseroleIngredients:1 lb sausage of your choice, sliced4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces1 cup asparagus, ends removed and cut into 1-inch sections1 small yellow onion, finely diced2 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded1 cup chicken or vegetable broth2 tablespoons olive oil1 teaspoon dried thymeSalt and Pepper, to seasonTop with fresh parsley, thyme, or dill Instructions:Preheat oven to 375°F.Dice potatoes, onions, garlic, sun dried-tomatoes, sausage, and asparagus. Layer potatoes and veggies in an oiled casserole dish, pour stock, and top with sausages.Cover with foil, bake 40 minutes for Uncover, too with cheese, bake 10 more minutes for a golden crust.Avocado Mint Chip Ice CreamIngredients:4 sm avocados or 2 lg avocados1/2 cup maple syrup1 can full fat coconut milk1/2 teaspoon mint extract1/2 cup chocolate chips Instructions:In a blender combine all ingredients (except chocolate chips) until smooth.

Key Points:Introduction to Brian Sloan and AutoblowBrian Sloan introduces himself as the creator of the Autoblow brand of male pleasure products. He discusses how he got into this industry, starting with selling latex fetishwear and then realizing there was a need for better male toys. He has been working on developing the Autoblow and VacuGlide products for over 16 years.Passion for Male PleasureBrian explains that his initial interest in this industry was more of a business decision, but over time he developed a genuine passion for helping men find pleasure and addressing the imbalance in the pleasure products industry being more focused on women. He believes men have different needs and desires that were not being met.Autoblow and VacuGlide Product DetailsBrian provides an overview of the Autoblow AI Ultra and VacuGlide products, including how they work, their key features, and the different use cases and target customers for each product. He discusses how the VacuGlide in particular caters to men who may have difficulty achieving or maintaining erections.Online Communities and Customer FeedbackBrian discusses the online communities that have formed around the Autoblow products, including an active subreddit where customers provide feedback and suggestions. He explains how this feedback has been valuable in improving the products over time.Concerns About AI-Powered Toys Brian shares his personal concerns about the potential risks of AI-powered toys, particularly the VR integration, and how the immersive experience could become addictive for some users. He believes there needs to be more awareness and education around the potential downsides of this technology.Balancing Risks and Benefits of Tech Cam and Brian have a thoughtful discussion about balancing the potential benefits of tech, like helping disabled users or providing educational/training tools, with the risks of addiction or unhealthy reliance. They explore ideas around data privacy, transparency, and empowering users to make informed choices.Closing Thoughts Brian acknowledges the validity of Cam's concerns about the potential risks of AI-powered toys, and says the industry needs to recognize and address these issues, even if they don't change their core business practices. Cam expresses excitement to see if and how the industry evolves in response to these emerging challenges.Relevant Links:Brian's Website: https://www.vieci.com/

This audio is the guided pleasure-mapping audio.Some guidelines to follow for pleasure mapping: Before starting the practice, find a private and comfortable environment. You can do this in the bath, shower, or lying in bed. Minimize distractions as much as possible – silence the phone, lock the door, etc.You can be fully or partially unclothed, whatever feels comfortable to you. As you continue to get more comfortable with the exercise, you can take it further than what's in the guided audio and expand to using body oil, lotion, lube, or other textures.Your eyes may be open or closed, whichever allows you to best focus on sensation. The focus of this exercise is not arousal or orgasm specifically (although that is welcome), but rather just to pay attention to pleasurable sensation and explore that.This is just information gathering. Your mind will likely wander during the exercise or judge your experience. That's normal. When that happens, refocus on the physical sensation and breathe. Slow down.Just get curious about what feels good. When you're ready, start the activity.Activity To Do: Pleasure Mapping SessionListen and follow along with the guided pleasure mapping audio included in this moduleWrite in your journal the answers to these questions:     - What part of your body was most pleasurable to touch?    - What type of touch felt best?    - What positive emotions came up? What negative emotions? Are these associated with a particular part of your body?    - Did you notice any automatic thoughts arise during the exercise? What were they? Were they connected to a particular area of your body? Credit for basis of this activity: Desire by Dr. Lauren Fogel Mersy et. al. Support the show

Products often tell you exactly how they're intended to be used. But why leave it at that? As a culture, we have long had a knack for finding ingenious, off-label uses for things. In this episode, we take a close look at a few examples of products that are ostensibly meant for one thing, but are better known for something else entirely. We explore Q-tips, which we are explicitly told not to put into our ears; the Hitachi Magic Wand, the iconic sex toy marketed as a body massager; the musical washboard; and the children's electrolyte solution Pedialyte that many adults swear by as a hangover cure. You'll hear from Hallie Lieberman, author of Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy; Jacqui Barnett of the Columbus Washboard Company; Christopher Wilson, curator and chair of the Division of Home and Community Life at the Smithsonian; musician and educator Súle Greg Wilson; zydeco musicians C.J. Chenier and Steve Nash; Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, author of Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure; as well as writers Roberto Ferdman, Dan Brooks, and Kaitlyn Tiffany. Decoder Ring is produced by Willa Paskin, Max Freedman, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. We had additional production from Sofie Kodner.

There are two typical approaches to work today, and both of them are wrong. Both of them cut right against what God meant work to be. One approach says, “Work is a curse—something to be endured for a paycheck.” The other approach says, “Work is my way to find self-esteem through achievement.” But the Bible, and the fourth of the Ten Commandments, shows us a different view of work. Let's see what the fourth commandment and Ephesians 6 show us about work: 1) work is not a curse; it's a calling, 2) work is not for yourself; it's for him, and 3) three things to do if you're unhappy with your job. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 22, 1989. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.

Send us a textIn today's episode, I have the joy of speaking with Andrew Sartory, someone who began as my mentor and coach and who I am now honored to call a dear friend.Andrew loves supporting people in creating and running businesses, and leading organizations from a foundation of true peace, joy, and alignment. He guides people toward generating wealth and income in ways that feel authentically joyful and fun, all while maximizing their positive impact on their organizations and the lives of the people they serve  My coaching journey with Andrew was a roller coaster ride filled with leaps of faith, intense challenges, profound breakthroughs, and joyful celebrations. He helped me uncover shadows I wasn't aware of and consistently supported me in viewing life through a spiritual lens, a rich topic we dive deeply into during this conversation.Andrew shares insights on genuinely living a "Heaven on Earth" experience—embracing the beauty and joy in every aspect of life, including the tough stuff. We explore the powerful concept "I Am One With Source," discussing how embodying this belief transforms perspectives and softens judgments. We even bravely tackle how to approach politics through a spiritual lens of unity and love, with Andrew passionately sharing his conviction that love is always rising, despite external appearances.Andrew also generously shares his practical and playful personal framework for creating a heaven-on-earth life, anchored by his three sacred pillars: Peace, Presence, and Pleasure.This conversation was especially sweet because we recorded it together in person—a first for this podcast.

There is great confusion about what the ultimate reward for righteousness and the ultimate punishment for wickedness are. Rambam's magisterial essay is designed to provide clarity in these lofty matters of eschatology. In part 2, we learn all about the concept of spiritual pleasure. Our bodies are very finely attuned to experiences of pain and pleasure. We discover that our souls are equally sensitive to pain and pleasure, though our default distance from the soul makes us fail to perceive it in a sensory way. Spiritual pleasure is inaccessible by default, but there is a way to experience it. It will require very hard work, but just one tiny taste of it changes your life forever.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

Orgasmic Birth Story Series   Ep 147 Description:  "Work with pleasure. Find ways to feel pleasure. Don't start thinking about it when you are eight months pregnant. Start from day one or even before getting pregnant when you decide you want to have kids, because it's such a long way to to deconstruct this patriarchal myths that have been interjected into our unconscious since we are children." —Guta Galli    Sexuality and childbirth are not separate experiences, but a continuous, sacred dance of feminine energy. The same neural pathways that create sexual pleasure can guide us through the most intense moments of bringing life into the world where every contraction carries the potential for a deeply sensual, transformative experience that challenges everything we've been told about childbirth.  Guta Galli is an interdisciplinary artist who fearlessly deconstructs societal myths about female sexuality and childbirth through her multimedia work. She creates visual narratives that challenge traditional medical perspectives and celebrate the profound, often unexplored dimensions of women's embodied experiences. Tune in as Debra and Guta explore how women can deconstruct cultural fears, embrace self-stimulation, prepare mentally for birth, and transform labor into a powerful, orgasmic, and deeply connected experience.     Connect with Debra!

This week on Sex With Emily, we're tackling one of the most harmful and outdated questions in modern dating: "What's your body count?" In conversation with holistic psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Scott Lyons, we explore the troubling origins of this term, once used to count military casualties, and how it's been repurposed to judge sexual history, often unfairly targeting women. We unpack the double standards rooted in purity culture, the insecurities this question provokes, and the shame it can breed in both high and low numbers. More importantly, we discuss why the number of sexual partners has nothing to do with sexual skill, emotional readiness, or compatibility. #intimacy #love #relationships Timestamps: 00:00:00 - Body Count: A Sex-Positive Discussion 00:03:00 - Judging Past Relationships 05:51 - Body Count & Insecurities 08:24 - Why Judging is Wrong 10:46:38 - Historical Shame Roots 13:22 - Societal Shame & Body Count 15:47 - Regrets & Sexual Experiences 18:13 - Reframing the Conversation 22:44:04 - Ditching the Question 25:38 - Addressing Relationship Insecurities 37:53 - Pleasure, Goodbyes & Outro If you're 21+, try VIIA!

Have you ever been in a relationship where it felt like you and your partner were slipping into the roles of parent and child? In today’s show, we’re going to discuss common signs that you might be in a parentified relationship. We’re also going to discuss how parentification impacts sexual and relationship quality, as well as how to break this pattern. I am joined once again by Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist. She is the founder of Modern Intimacy, a counseling practice that operates in Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago. She is author of the new book What Happened to My Sex Life? A Sex Therapist's Guide to Reclaiming Lost Desire, Connection, and Pleasure. Some of the specific topics we explore include: How do you know if you’re in a parentified relationship? What are some common relationship dynamics that contribute to parentification? How do early childhood experiences affect the relationship roles we take on? How does parentification contribute to relationship stress and burnout? Is it possible to change a parentified dynamic, or to prevent it from taking hold in the first place? You can check out the Modern Intimacy website to learn more about Kate’s work. Got a sex question?

In today’s world, we buy more, but we enjoy it less. We have bigger houses, but smaller hearts. We have more conveniences, but less time. We have multiplied our possessions, but we have reduced our values. And we have learned how to make a living, but we haven’t learned how to make a life. When you join us for the next Treasured Truth, we’ll continue to look at stewardship and Pastor Ford will encourage us to not follow the world’s example of how to handle and view our money and possessions.

At some point, almost everyone in a long-term relationship is going to wonder, “What happened to my sex life?” Where did the initial passion and excitement go? In today's show, we're going to explore why desire, pleasure, and connection often decline in relationships, as well as how you can get it back. I am joined by Dr. Kate Balestrieri, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist. She is the founder of Modern Intimacy, a counseling practice that operates in Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago. She is author of the new book What Happened to My Sex Life? A Sex Therapist's Guide to Reclaiming Lost Desire, Connection, and Pleasure. Some of the specific topics we explore include: Does a loss of passion necessarily mean there’s something wrong in your relationship? What can you do if you feel like you and your partner have become roommates instead of lovers? How can being too close to your partner hurt desire? How can addressing anger and resentment in healthy ways open the door to more desire? What do you need to know about moving past trauma and opening yourself up to pleasure again? You can check out the Modern Intimacy website to learn more about Kate’s work. Got a sex question?

When we first learned about Young Gun Silver Fox ten years ago, we knew the duo of Andy Platts and Shawn Lee had created something very special. Since their 2015 debut album, West End Coast, they've released three additional albums that continue to pour the foundation of their truly signature sound. It's West Coast AOR, but it's a unique, genre-blending sound that's unquestionably their own. Today we'll talk with Shawn and Andy about their fifth album release, Pleasure, which releases today. This is no doubt another solid effort from the guys, and quite possibly their best album yet. Soon, they'll embark on a two-show teaser US tour in New York City and also at the Troubadour in LA. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome back Andy Platts and Shawn Lee of Young Gun Silver Fox.

Orgasmic Birth Story Series   Ep 146 Description:  “Being in touch with your senses— that is the best preparation in the world. When we lean into pleasure in our everyday life, we teach our bodies that pleasure is safe.” —Lovisa Dahl   Every woman's birth story carries the potential to liberate generations from inherited trauma and shame. Yet, the continued silence around women's birthing experiences perpetuates a cycle of fear and disconnection from our most primal source of strength. Lovisa Dahl is a pioneering Orgasmic Birth Practitioner and TEDx speaker who has revolutionized the conversation around childbirth through her Love Birth Method. As a mother of three and an international mentor, she guides women to experience birth as a powerful, pleasurable rite of passage. Tune in as Debra and Lovisa explore breaking taboos around orgasmic birth, overcoming societal shame, practical techniques for pleasure-centered birthing, and how women can reclaim their sexual power through transformative birth experiences.     Connect with Debra!

Michaela, a gifted embodiment and relationship expert, shares why intimacy is an ongoing practice, the power of play, and how honest communication is essential to keeping connection alive.

In this episode of the podcast, host Emily Morse is joined by guest Pamela Madsen to explore the transformative power of "back-to-the-body" retreats for women and couples, focusing on reclaiming pleasure and improving communication. Pamela, a retreat leader with over a decade of experience, details a 7-day program emphasizing self-pleasure through clothed genital work, addressing issues such as vaginal pain and low libido. Positive outcomes from the retreats include increased self-esteem, improved communication, and better consent negotiation. The retreats also involve sexological bodywork, including genital mapping, fantasy exploration, and elements of BDSM and tantra. Men's participation is discussed, highlighting the positive impact these retreats have on couples. The conversation also covers practical techniques like the "lotus lift" meditation and sensate focus exercises for embodied self-expression—even for those unable to attend in person. Emily and Pamela address common challenges such as body image issues, societal pressures, and communication barriers in long-term relationships.
