Ep 150 Description:  “Pleasure is not a luxury. It is not a distraction. It is a human right. And reclaiming it—in childbirth, in healthcare, in life—is a path toward healing,  well-being, and activism.” —Debra Pascali Bonaro   Our bodies are intricate landscapes of sensation, where hormones dance, nerves communicate, and physiological responses intertwine in ways we're only beginning to understand. And these same pathways that create sexual pleasure are remarkably active during childbirth, challenging centuries of medical narratives that have reduced this transformative moment to a clinical, painful procedure.  This week, Debra discusses her landmark article, Orgasmic Birth: The Anatomy of Pleasure in Childbirth, published in Frontiers in Global Women's Health Journal, delving into the science of orgasmic birth, systemic obstetric violence, reproductive justice, hormonal landscapes of pleasure, the anatomy of childbirth, cultural narratives of pain, bodily autonomy, and the transformative potential of reclaiming women's birthing experiences. Don't miss this groundbreaking episode!

In this intimate episode of the Sex with Emily podcast, Dr. Emily teams up with Dr. Scott Lyons, a licensed holistic psychologist and body-based trauma expert, to explore how vocalizing pleasure can transform your intimate experiences. From a candid discussion about their couples massage experience in Vegas to practical advice on overcoming sexual silence, this episode reveals why making authentic sounds during sex creates deeper connection and more intense pleasure. We dive into the psychology behind sexual silence, examining how childhood conditioning, shame, and societal expectations keep us quiet when we should be expressing ourselves. Dr. Scott explains the nervous system science behind vocalization, including how making sounds stimulates the vagus nerve and helps regulate our bodies during intimate moments. We also tackle the difference between authentic pleasure sounds and performative moaning influenced by porn culture. This episode addresses common concerns like being too loud with roommates or kids in the house, offers practical exercises for gradually increasing your vocal expression, and explores how sound creates crucial feedback loops between partners. Whether you're naturally quiet or overly performative, you'll learn how to find your authentic voice of pleasure.

I have a lot of really suggestive podcast titles for somebody who is ace. That is rather amusing. I think a lot of people today would say that they themselves are not normal and I genuinely believe that it's because being abnormal is considered trendy at the moment. Like, do you know how many “NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME” shirts I see people wearing lately? The fact that that shirt is sold everywhere and so many people have it just cracks me up because like bro you are so painfully normal. That's okay!! Your life is actually easier. Embrace your normal. It's okay. 

Your weekly pleasure ritual is not just another thing to check off your self-care list. It's a sacred rhythm—a devotional practice that will anchor you in your sensuality, your power, and your joy. In this heart-led solo episode, I'm sharing how this simple but potent ritual completely transformed my life… and how you can create your own, even with a full schedule and limited space.Whether you're feeling the pull to reconnect with yourself, expand your pleasure capacity, or simply create a consistent rhythm that nourishes you from the inside out—this episode is your invitation to begin.✨ I walk you through:Why devotion is different from self-care (and how it changes the game)What my personal weekly ritual looks likeHow to create your own ritual space, no matter where you liveWhat to do when resistance or doubt creeps inAnd why this practice is so much more than rest—it's a reclamation.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Before I really dove into the study of human sexuality I had some preconceived notions about what kink was, I had no idea it was a spectrum. The first things that would pop into my head when people would mention anything kink was that a person was going to be in a gimp suit and held against their will. I really didn't get that on the spectrum of kink all things are supposed to be consensual. The conversations are more and more open to talking about the spectrum of kink in the last 50 years. As more research has been done on human sexuality we have found out that we really are on a spectrum of all things pleasure and sexuality. In this episode we will discuss: What is kink really?

A message from Philippians 1:20-23 by Pastor Jared Burke at Bethany Bible Fellowship, Westminster, California

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveWe live in an increasingly weird world, where the weirdness is facilitated and accelerated by the Internet. We live in a world full of instantly-available bizarre pornography and terrorist attacks inspired by misanthropic ideologies whose manifestos are published online. Katherine Dee, an Internet ethnographer, writer and friend of Wisdom of Crowds, joins Christine Emba and Shadi Hamid to talk about the recent terrorist attack on an IVF clinic in California and Christine's recent New York Times article about the social damage wrought by porn.Shadi shakes things up by posing a blunt question at the very beginning: Should we ban porn? It hurts men as well as women. Why not? Can we reconcile the ideals of liberalism with a state effort to suppress pornographic content? This question inspires Christine and Katherine to reflect about the ethics of sex work, the perils of reporting on dangerous and soul-crushing topics, as well as signs of hope in American culture.Throughout, Katherine applies her trusty reporter's eye toward making an accurate, non-judgmental and perceptive account of what's really going on with sex and ideology on the Internet. Christine, for her part, makes the case of norms and shame as useful tools for making society better. Shadi, in Socratic fashion, tests the strength of his interlocutors' arguments.In the bonus section for paid subscribers, Katherine explains the nuances of “efilism” and “promortalism”; Shadi reflects on the meaning of suffering and how belief in God changes one's approach to suffering; and Christine reflects on “cold, rational logical measure — suffering v. pleasure. Pleasure v. nothing.”Required Reading and Listening:* Christine Emba, “The Delusion of Porn's Harmlessness” (New York Times). * Katherine Dee, “An Efilist Just Bombed a Fertility Clinic.

In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with renowned mental health expert Dr. Juliana Hauser to uncover the profound neurological shifts occurring in our brains during perimenopause and menopause. If you've ever thought "I don't feel like myself anymore" or wondered why your emotional resilience has vanished, this conversation will be your lifeline.Dr. Hauser courageously dismantles the persistent silence surrounding midlife mental health, illuminating how our changing hormones directly impact our mood regulation, anxiety levels, and even suicidal thoughts (which increase sevenfold during perimenopause). I share my own mental health breakdown that nearly destroyed my marriage and had me unable to get out of bed—all while no healthcare provider connected the dots to my hormonal changes. This isn't just another menopause episode; it's the mental health conversation that might save your life or the life of someone you love.Dr. Juliana Hauser has a PhD in Counseling Education, is a TEDx speaker and the author of A New Position on Sex: A Guide to Greater Sexual Confidence, Pleasure, and Authenticity, coming September 2025.Key Takeaways:Your "mood swings" aren't character flaws but biological changes in how estrogen regulates your emotions and resilienceWomen are seven times more likely to have suicidal thoughts during perimenopause, yet most doctors never mention thisWhy it's nearly impossible to tell which midlife struggles are hormonal and which are circumstantial and why that distinction matters for treatmentHow to create your mental health safety net and the practical steps Dr. Hauser recommends for weathering the stormThe freedom and self-acceptance waiting on the other side of this transitionJuliana Says: You're Not Too F***ing Old! to find absolute joy and pleasure in life again!Learn more about Jen Marples at https://www.jenmarples.comWant to work with Jen?

Ich sag's, wie's ist: Diese Folge sollte eigentlich mit Pauken und Trompeten gekürt werden. Und das Universum hat geliefert – mitten im spanischen Mai ein Gewitter, wie ich es hier noch nie erlebt habe. Und während draußen der Hagel gegen die Scheiben knallt, spreche ich drinnen laut aus, was sich in mir schon seit Wochen anbahnt: Glück in Worten endet. Nach acht Jahren, knapp 400 Folgen, unzähligen Nachrichten, Tränen, Lachern, Erkenntnissen, Manifestationen, Firsts, Failures und Wundern… schließe ich dieses Kapitel. Warum? Genau das erzähle ich dir in dieser Folge, was sich für mich verändert, wohin meine Reise geht – und warum du das vielleicht auch spürst: dass gerade eine Ära endet, um Platz zu machen. Das hier ist keine Beerdigung. Es ist ein Übergang. Und du darfst dabei sein. Mit allem, was war – und allem, was kommt. Ich freu mich, wenn du reinhörst. Alle aktuellen Infos zu mir und meinen Kursen findest du hier:  https://claudiaengel.de/links/    Ich freu mich auf dich.

In recent years, digital touchscreens have replaced many of the buttons and knobs that control various functions in cars. But when Host Ira Flatow went shopping for a new car, he noticed that physical controls seemed to be making a comeback. But will the rise of technologies like voice recognition and automation make cars more button-centric, or less? Ira talks with car ergonomics engineer James Forbes and buttonologist Rachel Plotnick about the advantages and disadvantages of the physical button or knob, and what might lead an automaker to choose one type of control over another.Guests: James Forbes, professor of practice in the department of automotive engineering at Clemson University.Rachel Plotnick, author of Power Button: A History of Pleasure, Panic, and the Politics of Pushing (The MIT Press, 2018).Transcript will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

This one is rich, raw, and real. I sat down with my mastermind sister, Tenae, for a deeply grounded and spiritual conversation about pleasure, power, and self-worth — and listen, we went there.   We peeled back the layers of how pleasure is often portrayed in the online and spiritual spaces — performative, aesthetic, or used only as a tool for manifestation — and we brought it back to what it truly is: a path to remembering our innate worth.   This is not an episode about yoni wands, lingerie, or masturbating your way to a 10k month (no shame if you're into that, but this goes deeper). This is about why we engage in spiritual practices, why pleasure matters beyond results, and how pleasure is one of the most practical and powerful ways to tap into your self-worth.   We talked about: ✨ How pleasure connects us to our intuition and our inner knowing ✨ The difference between performative pleasure and embodied pleasure ✨ Why you're worthy of feeling really good — just because ✨ How grounded pleasure expands your capacity for money, visibility, and success ✨ What it means to raise your baseline and hold more through self-worth ✨ The ripple effect of women who deeply know they are worthy   Tenae said it best: “Pleasure is a key to unlocking self-worth.”   This episode will activate you, ground you, and invite you into a more intimate relationship with yourself. It's for the woman who is done chasing results and is ready to remember that she is already the magic.   Tenae Stewart is a practicing cottage witch, a certified astrologer, and a spiritual coach, as well as the author of three books on magick, astrology, plants, and self-care. She is on a mission to empower modern witches to defy convention so they can live their most magickal lives - all day, every day.    Follow Tenae on IG: https://www.instagram.com/lupinehollow/ Join the Starlight Coven Inner Circle - www.witchoflupinehollow.com/innercircle

Pleasure is so much more than sex—and can be deeply expansive.

What's lighting you up in your life? Not just what you're checking off your to-do list, but what genuinely brings you pleasure? As high-achieving women, we've been conditioned to prioritize productivity over pleasure, leaving little room for what actually makes us feel alive.   We're diving deep with pleasure expert Danielle Savory into why we struggle to receive and experience pleasure in our lives. If you've been feeling disconnected from joy, struggling to ask for what you need, or simply ready to feel more lit up in your life, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.ambitious-ish.com/64

1. Today, Tim set up his discussion of Jesus' new command (John 13:34) by sharing about the concept of pleasure v. enjoyment.This slide outlines what he shared:In light of this concept, Tim taught that the reason the original 613 commands of the law couldn't transform the Israelite people was that they worked against human nature. We're wired to seek continual opportunities for enjoyment, often found by transgressing the “commands” in our lives.Spend some time with this dichotomy. Think of ways in which you've experienced pleasure, as it's conceived of here. Think of some ways in which you've experienced enjoyment. Share some examples of each with your group.Which of these experiences feels more familiar? More appealing? What do you think it is about your personality that leads you to answer in the way you are?2. Tim also taught about the opportunity for enjoyment that's provided by exclusion. He said, “any kind of exclusion makes our sense of belonging so much better.”Where do you see/have you seen this principle at work in yourself? What groups/categories have you seen engage in frequent exclusion?How/when have you been excluded? How did you respond to that exclusion? How did it make you feel about the crowd/people from which you were excluded?3. Tim taught that Jesus' new command (from John 13:34) leads to enjoyment in a new and different way; rather than finding enjoyment through transgressing commands, we find it through transgressing the self. This process of loving sacrificially leads to both pleasure and pain. It also provides opportunities for endless enjoyment. Tim said that, as the church, our only real command is love and inclusion.When you think of your life in and as a part of the church, how do you feel about this sole command? What thoughts, ideas, and feelings arise for you as you take a moment to consider this command as the command for the church?Are there [other] “commands” that you have embraced in the past hoping in their ability to create transformation in your life? How has that worked for you? Do you have commands (other than Jesus' new command to love) that you embrace now, hoping for them to produce transformation? What fruit, if any have you seen from those efforts?What experiences do you have that speak to the power of sacrificial love's ability to create transformation when it's embraced or enacted as a command? See if you can think of experiences in which you've been the one loving actively and experiences in which you've been loved in this way. Share some examples as a group. If you can see transformation that has resulted, share about that with the group.

The cookbook genre is highly conventional with an orientation toward celebration and success. From glossy photographs to heartwarming stories and adjective-rich ingredient lists, the cookbook tradition primes readers for pleasure. Yet the overarching narrative of the region is often one of pain, loss, privation, exploitation, poverty, and suffering of various kinds. While some cookbook writers go to great lengths to avoid reminding readers of this painful past, others invoke that pain as a marker of southern authenticity. Still others use stories of southern suffering as an opportunity to make space for reconciliation, reparation, or apology for past wrongs. In Unpalatable: Stories of Pain and Pleasure in Southern Cookbooks (UP of Mississippi, 2025), author Carrie Helms Tippen attempts to understand the unique rhetorical situation of the southern cookbook as it negotiates a tension between the expectations of the genre and the prevailing metanarratives of the southern experience, one focused on pleasure and the other rooted in pain. Through an analysis of commercially published “southern” cookbooks from the 1990s to the present, Tippen examines the range of rhetorical purposes and strategies writers have employed, some of which undermine the reality of a painful past and cause harm or violence, and others which serve as tools for truth and reconciliation.

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. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. Special thanks to Kate Sloan, Dr. Carol Queen, Bryony Cole, Amber Singer, Molly Born, Laura Selikson, and Nell McShane Wulfhart.

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. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
