SYNOPSIS:This is a recording of one of our free, live Eventbrite sessions, where Ali Mezey was joined by Jane Peterson, PhD - and you, our audience - for a live, honest, body-centered conversation about the real work of being in relationship.(Yes, this episode includes live audience questions!)Together, we explore how our bodies carry old relational patterns - what Jane calls the "social soma" - and how these hidden imprints can shape the way we love, fight, and stay (or don't stay) connected.We talk about why love alone isn't always enough to align two people's lives, and why asking deeper, more honest questions early on matters so much.Jane shares practical ways to stay close even when life pulls you in different directions: evolving agreements, repairing after hurt, setting shared goals, and building intimacy that grows with you.We touch on marriage, infidelity, and non-traditional relationships with honesty and warmth, offering grounded advice for navigating real-world love.Whether you're partnered, single, or somewhere in between, this conversation will leave you with new ways to understand yourself, your relationships, and the deep intelligence of your body in all of it.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website: www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comMORE JANE PETERSON:Website: www.human-systems-institute.comContact: humansystemsinstitute@gmail.comBIO:Jane Peterson, PhD, is the co-founder and executive director of the Human Systems Institute, Inc.

Happy Sunday, my lovely congregation, and welcome back to Pussy Church! This week, we're diving into polyamory, open relationships, and whether being "open" is really the enlightened choice—or just another relationship trend.I break down: my almost-open relationship, the history & science of monogamy and the rise of non-monogamy. Plus, how growing up in a Buddhist commune shaped my views on love and loyalty.If you've ever wondered, non-monogamy is the future—or just a phase?—this one's for you.Amen.

The Tip of the Iceberg is a 30-foot tall clitoris of stone, steel and cement, fabricated to be monumental like Stonehenge, thus the nickname Clit-Henge. It aroused a lot of conversation at Black Rock City 2023. It's the phallic symbol's sister. It's highly sensitive, and highly talked about, and according to the artist, the more we discover what it does for any of us and all of us, and the more we can celebrate the birthright of pleasure.Melissa Barron a.k.a. Syn has traveled to many places around the world that informed her lens of creativity, sustainability, gender equality. With her family and friends, she co-creates art, from the 2013 Temple of Whollyness to her decade-long regeneration project Art for Trees, to this new intimate inquiry, the Tip of the Iceberg. And what about the aerialist performance involving the Burning Man and wombs and birth, sanctioned by none other than Burning Man founder Larry Harvey?Journey with Syn, Andie Grace and Stuart Mangrum through the Clit Renaissance, the re-thinking of pleasure inequities, the teachings of cancer, the wisdom of aging, and the intuition of radical reciprocity. They explore these complexities, and they keep it light and bright.Tip of the Iceberg (Burning Man 2023 Art Installations)Tip of the Iceberg (Burning Man Gallery)The Temple of Whollyness (Burning Man Journal)Art for Trees (Burning Man Journal)Syn on Social Media (Crone of Arc) LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG

Moments after the door to my condo closed behind us, the stranger I'd cruised on the subway locked his mouth on mine. I eagerly accepted. The tension of 30+ minutes of eyeing each other in the train car, up the escalators, down Sunset Blvd., to this moment, piqued our primal need to engage. He pulled at the bottom of his shirt. I leaned away from kissing his scruffy face and said, “Hold on, can I get that for you?” and I slowly pulled his shirt up, revealing his bare skin, happy trail, belly button, chest, nipples, and finally, his masculine shoulders. The inside-out collar of thin cotton material moved up his throat while the bulk of the shirt acted as a temporary blindfold. As the shirt released from his head, I looked into his eager eyes – the t-shirt hanging relaxed in my hand. “Your turn,” I said. “Take your time.” Rather than ignoring all this erotic energy and racing towards orgasm with the intensity of an Olympic sprinter, I've learned to lean into erotic tension and savor its rare pleasures. This is a departure from the avid Sport Fucker practice I once thought was the height of sexual pleasure and liberation. Sport Fucking is about having sex for its own sake. Keeping a score sheet (even if it's just in one's head) of the numbers, variety, and status of sex partners is what it's all about. Commitment and emotional depth are not part of the practice. An ass up, no talking, jackhammer fuck n' go is its hallmark protocol. It allows us to protest against the heteronormative standard narrative: All sex outside of a monogamous relationship is bad. It also satisfies our need to seed, and be seeded by, as many individuals as possible. Sperm competition, as outlined in the book Sex At Dawn by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá, provides evidence that our genes are programmed to both give and receive as much sperm as possible. The one who gives or receives the most wins the genetic prize. Sport Fucking is still in my sexual repertoire, but it is only one musical genre with which to play the music. Sometimes, I want a nasty two-minute country tune by Dixon Dallas: “No strings attached, I'll arch my back and let you do what you want.” At other times, I want an hour-long Deep House Anjunadeep Edition 434 with Marsh DJ session: “Reach inside me. Gonna take my love in,” that transports us on a multilayered sensory/emotional/spiritual journey. Each encounter is usually a variation that mixes a bit from each style, depending on my partner's proclivities and how our energies mix.If I'd taken this guy to a stairwell to seal the deal, a long, drawn-out connection wouldn't have been practical. But we were in my place, and I had more than two minutes. Until the moment his shirt came off, and I felt the heat radiating from his torso, my attraction to this guy was almost entirely visual. It was tied to what he was wearing, especially his grey sweatpants and the shape of the underwear seams framing his butt cheeks as he shifted his weight, side to side, only one escalator step ahead of me on the long ride up and out of the deep Sunset-Vermont subway station, my heart pounding all the way. I was returning home from my workout, where I'd seen lots of Hollywood hotties dressed in their best gym gear hugging all the right places oh so coyly, never to be touched. (Well, not never, but that's another post.) This was an opportunity to actually touch, smell, and taste the tantalizing essence that is usually off-limits. Why throw all that on the floor? Both shirtless, we moved to the playroom.It had become clear to me during our makeout session, while my hands massaged the raised underwear seams through his sweats, that he preferred to let me take charge. I didn't let that stop me from dropping to my knees to explore the cause of a raging boner still inside my jeans. As an aside, for a long time, I lived with a made-up rule that tops don't kneel for their partners – that maintaining dominance requires insertive, taking energy only. I was wrong about that, especially the kneeling part. Down on my knees, there is a lot of pleasure to give by actively taking what he generously allowed. Undressing a man slowly, like the beautifully wrapped gift that he is, moves that spark of erotic energy up and into every power zone of your body. Without an immediate release (a quick orgasm), the energy expands its way from that space between your balls and your butthole, through your gut, your heart, your throat, your mind, and out into the Universe. The vibrational energies of your whole self, the energies that the Great Yoga Sages called the seven chakras, become available mojo for your eventual climax. Dipping my fingers between the cotton waistband of his sweatpants and the formfitting elastic of his briefs, nuzzling the swollen mound straining the fabric beneath his sweatpants, looking up to see how this is being received via his eyes, expressing gratitude in mine, inching the sweats down to reveal his previously hidden tight undies, feeling the heat of his contained junk that had been walking down the street with me, now pressing on my nose and cheeks, smelling the epicenter of his pheromone production, allowing the sweatpants to gather at his feet, fanning anticipation by leaving his underwear on, overtly looking him up and down, from his bright brown eyes to his pants that are now a heap around his ankles. Pro Tip: To remove his pants with just two sweeping motions, I find the leg opening behind one heel, allow him to shift his weight to the other foot, and pull on the seam of the leg opening. Most pants will easily slide off one leg at a time. This avoids the struggle of pulling the pants at the waist and having them turn inside out, causing awkward logistics that break the sultry trance. “Your turn,” I said. Whatever we do next will be charged with intimacy and understanding, which clears a path to mind-bending release.While undressing each other, we transmit and receive information about what turns the other guy on, what doesn't, and what's meh. We just need to look, listen, and feel for it. It also builds erotic tension. Cum denial, as it's called in parts of the fetish community, or semen retention, as it's called in various eastern spiritual communities, leads to an altered state of consciousness. Senses are heightened, and the mind focuses. Done in a community of men, it fosters heart-centered connections and a willingness to be vulnerable. I first experienced this state with Tantra 4 Gay Men during a weeklong retreat near Joshua Tree, California, where I went nearly two weeks without ejaculation. The point is that building erotic heat without release creates a heightened mental state. Invest in that state, and you'll have an insanely intense orgasm—a frighteningly powerful full-body release. It's a rollercoaster ride that's worth the wait in line. The undressing ritual gives you a tiny glimpse into that euphoria, that connection to Everything, to the Divine. You just need to be emotionally brave enough to speak your truth. Communicate what you want. Probably non-verbally. Say and accept “no” as helpful information so that everyone can lean into their erotic and emotional desires and needs, sometimes called fantasies. The jackhammering may still happen, but if it does, it becomes a well-timed crescendo rather than the entire piece of music. It's a dynamic highpoint, igniting the root charka, blasting energy up through the now energized spiritual centers, including the crown chakra where it's possible to touch Divine wisdom, imbuing your cum shot with a melding of primal and sacred certainty. We know joy. We know peace. Strangers we meet on the train leave happy. Get full access to The Sensitive Slut at mikegerle.substack.com/subscribe
Chris Ryan's work has been translated into over twenty languages, and appeared just about everywhere, including Netflix, HBO, MSNBC, Fox News, CNN, NPR, The New York Times, The Times of London, Playboy, The Washington Post, National Geographic, and More… Chris has been a featured speaker at TED, SXSW, The Festival of Dangerous Ideas at the Sydney Opera House and is a frequent guest on The Joe Rogan Experience, the Duncan Trussell Family Hour, and many other podcasts. Even before co-authoring the New York Times best-seller, Sex at Dawn: How We Mate, Why We Stray, and What it Means for Modern Relationships with Cacilda Jethá, MD in 2010, Chris was on a wild ride. After receiving a BA in English and American literature in 1984 he spent the next two decades traveling around the world, pausing in unexpected places to work at very odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Chris decided to get a little serious and pursue doctoral studies in Psychology at Saybrook Graduate School, in San Francisco, CA, using his dissertation to examine Darwin's rather naive understanding of human sexual evolution — providing the core arguments later advanced in Sex at Dawn. Chris's latest book, Civilized to Death: The Price of Progress asks whether civilization has been a net benefit to our species. He hosts a weekly podcast, Tangentially Speaking, often recorded from the road while traveling in his van. The podcast features conversations with comics, bank robbers, drug smugglers, porn stars, authors, and an occasional rattlesnake expert. #ChrisRyan #BestsellerAuthor #SexAtDawn #CivilizedToDeath #GlobalExplorer #ThoughtLeader #Psychoanalysis #DiverseConversations #CulturalObserver | CHRIS RYAN | SUBSTACK - https://substack.com/@dudeinhammock WEBSITE - https://chrisryanphd.com/ IG - https://www.instagram.com/thatchrisryan X - https://twitter.com/ThatChrisRyan FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/chrisryanphd/ BOOKS - https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Dawn-Stray-Modern-Relationships/dp/0061707813/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= & https://www.amazon.com/Civilized-Death-What-Lost-Modernity/dp/1451659105/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1702656704&sr=8-1 Join Host
My guest today is Christopher Ryan, an acclaimed author and speaker who has led a diverse and unconventional life, from working odd jobs around the world to earning a Ph.D. in Psychology and being a self-proclaimed “vanthropologist.”He is the host of the podcast Tangentially Speaking, as well as the author of “Civilized to Death” and the co-author of “Sex At Dawn”, which columnist Dan Savage has called “The single most important book on human sexuality since Alfred Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.”When I read “Sex At Dawn” over a decade ago, it had a significant influence on my life path and approach to relationships, as you'll hear in this episode. As well, we cover Chris' own journey that inspired him to reach into the pre-history of humanity and find fresh insights into modern relationships, sexuality, and how remarkably similar we are to bonobos. We discuss the complex challenges for men & masculinity today, we touch on his observations about the radical peace project of Tamera, and finally, he shares his best (and only) advice on how to live into the future of relationships.LINKS* Christopher Ryan - Official Website* Christopher Ryan on InstagramSHOW NOTES* Crestone is a unique spiritual community at 8,000 feet with open-air cremations, Tibetan stupas, and diverse spiritual centers.* Historical Origins: Crestone's history involves visionary landowners and prophecies of harmonious coexistence among different religious traditions, leading to the creation of spiritual centers.* Chris's Journey: Chris's exploration of cultures and alternative lifestyles began in his youth and eventually led him to Crestone.* Understanding the Human Condition: Chris's career focuses on understanding human behavior and challenging cultural norms.* "Sex at Dawn": The book challenges traditional monogamy notions, examining evolutionary psychology, anthropology, and bonobo behavior.* Controversy and Conversation: "Sex at Dawn" sparked debates and opposition by questioning conventional beliefs about monogamy.* Career Evolution: Chris shifted from literature to psychology and faced backlash from the academic community.* Cultural Biases in Science: The discussion highlights how cultural biases influence scientific disciplines like anthropology.* Exploring Masculinity: Masculinity encompasses risk-taking, humor, and courageous conversations, not limited to stereotypical traits.* Challenges in Modern Masculinity: Contemporary culture presents complexities, with concerns about toxic masculinity and limited career opportunities for young men.* Impact of Toxic Messages: Toxic ideologies exploit the challenges faced by young men and promote disrespect toward women.* Rediscovering Cooperation: The future presents a choice between eroding traditional gender roles and rediscovering human cooperation, which may necessitate shared resources and mutual support.FROM THE ARCHIVEYou may also enjoy these episodes: Get full access to The Mythic Masculine at themythicmasculine.substack.com/subscribe
Swingers are couples that have sex with other couples, right? Well, like everything with our sexual desires, it's not so hard and fast ;) Suzie Wong talks about how the Lifestyle (LS) includes wife swapping, unicorns, half unicorns, single men, orgies, and much more. Her stories about how her swinging lifestyle make hosts @KerstinPorter and @GreenberryLucas question most of what they thought they knew about swingers. They also learn an amazing new word, COMPERSION, which means to wholeheartedly participate in the happiness of others. It's the opposite of jealousy and what couples experience in the swinger community. Suzie also helps our caller, Becky, figure out how she can be a swinger with her husband, but without having to do any girl on girl action.

On this ID the Future from the vault, hear a segment from Discovery Institute Vice President John West's talk given at the Dallas Conference on Science and Faith, on how Darwinism has corroded Western culture. Here he examines the morally poisonous effects of Darwinism on marriage, sexual ethics, and religion, such that virtually anything can be defended as OK, and no particular culture's ethic is to be preferred over another. Humankind's spiritual purpose has likewise been eroded. Yet West closes with hope by pointing to moving examples of science in our generation uncovering more and more signs of intelligent design and purpose in nature. As West further notes, a new generation of researchers, including at least one Fulbright scholar, are Read More › Source
