Tony Gaskins Exposes Fake Faith, Toxic Relationship Advice & Ppl Using God For ProfitTony Gaskins joins Ash Cash for one of the most unfiltered conversations yet inside the vault—on relationships, faith, integrity, purpose, money, and the danger of giving advice from a place you have not healed from.Tony opens up about his transformation from the streets to marriage, business, authorship, coaching, and building more than 100 income streams. He explains why he credits his wife with helping save his life, how accountability changed him, and why stronger relationships can also create stronger financial outcomes.The conversation then gets controversial.Tony argues that social media has given broken and unhealed people microphones—and that relationship advice rooted in pain can drive men and women further apart.He also speaks directly about people using God as a business model, false teachers, spiritual manipulation, and why invoking faith for profit without integrity is dangerous.Tony reflects on his disagreement with Kevin Samuels, the responsibility that comes with influencing millions, and why he believes your private life eventually catches up with your public image.He also breaks down how he monetized his gifts across books, courses, apps, products, insurance, and other businesses; why speed matters in entrepreneurship; and how he built longevity through consistency instead of chasing virality.Later, Ash and Tony discuss fake expertise, people teaching before they have actually mastered what they teach, the value of transparency, and why Tony refuses to call himself an “expert” or “guru.”The episode closes with Tony's newest mission: The Destiny App, The Purpose Arc, living your God-given purpose, and why purpose and abundance belong together.Connect with Tony Gaskins:YouTube & Instagram: Tony GaskinsTheDestinyApp.comThePurposeArc.comConnect with Inside the Vault:Instagram: @insidethevaultInsideTheVaultShow.comHosted by Ash Cash:Instagram: @iamashcashIAmAshCash.comABUNDANCE IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT.Join Ash Cash and a community focused on building wealth, increasing income, strengthening your mindset, and creating a more abundant life:TheAbundanceCommunity.comEPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Stronger relationships can help you make more money02:26 – Welcome to Inside the Vault03:59 – Meet Tony Gaskins05:15 – From football scholarship to the streets06:12 – “I refuse to be with a drug dealer”07:27 – The moment Tony chose his family08:14 – Growing up in a strict pastor's home11:26 – Turning street ambition into purpose12:44 – “Without my wife, I'd be in prison or the grave”14:17 – Why men respect accountability15:45 – Tony on today's relationship landscape16:05 – “Every broken person has a microphone”18:02 – Taking advice from people without experience20:40 – “We are the fix”20:53 – Why marriage and money belong in the same conversation25:55 – Sexual discipline, creativity & business28:03 – Writing and publishing a book in two days with AI29:45 – The speed of the market29:54 – Put your gift in every medium30:46 – Tony's 100+ streams of income33:54 – The secret to staying relevant for decades33:59 – “I live my life in the dark the way I live it in the light”35:00 – Reaching 20M people a week but making less money39:10 – Are people using God as a business model?41:08 – Tony's warning about playing with the name of God42:13 – Tony reflects on Kevin Samuels44:20 – Fake faith, conferences & podcasts45:14 – Using God to get people to open their wallets45:37 – False teachers and spiritual manipulation46:17 – When is someone qualified to teach?50:32 – “As you learn, you should teach”51:02 – Why Tony won't call himself an expert or guru51:45 – Integrity always catches up with you52:22 – Tony admits where he had to get his finances right54:33 – The Destiny App56:00 – The Purpose Arc57:25 – Taking the Purpose Summit around the world58:15 – Pivoting from relationships into God-given purpose58:36 – Ash Cash on “Abundance Is Your Birthright”1:00:40 – Purpose, mindset & claiming your birthright1:01:01 – Doomscrolling is stealing your abundance1:03:10 – Tony's final message: step into your purpose1:04:22 – How to connect with Tony Gaskins1:06:58 – Closing the VaultAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

On July 20, 2026, a body-cam video appeared on YouTube: a young woman, hysterical and seemingly shocked as police placed her in handcuffs. Authorities had allegedly found footage of her sexually abusing and recording a 13-year-old boy in a public restroom, footage she allegedly gave her husband to edit. Few months later, a young woman named Talia contacted the us after watching a Rotten Mango Episode. She knows the couple personally, for more than a decade... Her story revealed a far more horrifying connection. This is the case of John and Brianna Nethers, and why it took so long to catch them.

The death of a 16-year-old in Sydney's northern beaches from a suspected act of sexual strangulation has put a spotlight on the dangerous trend – a trend that more than half of people under 40 say they've tried. The case raises difficult questions about young people and risky sex, consent, and the responsibility of the porn industry. Today, Matilda Boseley speaks to global editor Lucy Clark and lifestyle editor Alyx Gorman about why so many people wrongly believe sexual choking is ‘safe', and the education and regulation that can combat it

In this episode, I'm joined by repeat guests Danielle Harel, Ph.D., and Celeste Hirschman, M.A., founders of the Somatica® Institute and creators of the Somatica® Method of sex and relationship coaching. Danielle and Celeste are thought leaders in the world of sex and relationships and have trained more than 1,000 coaches in their groundbreaking approach, which helps people get out of their heads and into their bodies so they can build confidence, feel empowered to be themselves, and go after what they truly want in dating, sex, and relationships. They're also the lead sexologists on the UK's award-winning TV show Virgin Island, bringing their expertise to a global audience. In this episode, we dive into what Virgin Island is really about, how Danielle and Celeste became the show's lead sexologists, and what they learned from working with people who feel inexperienced, insecure, or disconnected when it comes to sex. We talk about the fears and challenges that come with sexual inexperience—whether you've never had sex, have had very little experience, or have been with the same partner for 20 years. We explore the tools Danielle and Celeste use to create powerful shifts in confidence and connection, why understanding your Core Desires can transform your dating and sex life, and how you can uncover your own. We also get into practical advice for men and women who are dating without much sexual experience, including how to move past shame and insecurity, build confidence, and become more comfortable asking for what you want. Whether you consider yourself sexually inexperienced, struggle with confidence, or simply want a deeper understanding of your desires and how to communicate them, this conversation offers practical tools for becoming more embodied, confident, and connected in your relationships.

An historic tape was found. This week features a remarkable 1970 recording of Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, and other members of the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), made by 20-year-old WBAI reporter Liza Cowan. Rediscovered nearly 50 years later by Making Gay History in the Lesbian Herstory Archives, the tape captures Rivera and Johnson speaking candidly about their lives, gender expression, discrimination, sexuality, and activism, as well as their efforts to create community and support for street youth through STAR House. This is what is believed to be the earliest known recording of Rivera and Johnson and offering an extraordinary first-person glimpse of two pioneering trans activists at the beginning of their political lives. In the news this week, a new report finds LGBTQ+ people make up more than 12 percent of the U.S. population, while a federal judge again strikes down Texas's drag ban. LGBTQ+ asylum seekers face heightened danger amid a migration crisis in Spain's Ceuta, and South African activists mobilize against an anti-LGBTQ+ “family values” conference. And in Ireland, Cork opens the country's first permanent LGBTQ+ museum exhibition, featuring a historic Rainbow Flag from San Francisco. Featured speakers: Brigitte Bandit, LGBT choir Choral Con Fusion, Sylvia Rivera, Marsha P. Johnson, Victor.

Why doesn't she just leave?  It's a question survivors of domestic abuse hear again and again. But it places the focus in entirely the wrong place.  Laura interviews Grace Stuart, survivor and host of Why She Stayed podcast, to examine how coercive control can develop gradually - and why it can be so difficult to recognise when you're living inside it.  Grace was just 20 when she met her former partner, who was 14 years older. What initially felt intense and intoxicating became a complex spider's web of grooming, manipulation and control.  Grace shares how apparent honesty and vulnerability built trust, while her boundaries were crossed incrementally and each violation explained away. Laura unpacks the pattern: the love bombing, age and power imbalance, gaslighting, isolation, sexual coercion and the gradual erosion of Grace's trust in her own instincts.  They also explore how addiction became an explanation for behaviour that Grace did not yet have the language to identify as domestic abuse.  Laura and Grace discuss:  Grooming, love bombing and accelerated intimacy   Age and power imbalances   Boundary testing and incremental erosion   Gaslighting and self-doubt   Isolation and dependency   Sexual coercion and violence   Addiction versus abusive behaviour   Why recognising the pattern matters   The question isn't why did she stay? It's what did he do that made staying make sense?  #GraceStewart #WhySheStayed #CoerciveControl #DomesticAbuse #DomesticViolence #SurvivorVoices #SurvivorStories #TraumaBond #EmotionalAbuse #PsychologicalAbuse #SexualCoercion #ReproductiveCoercion #PowerAndControl #AbuseIsAPattern #TrustYourInstincts #CrimeAnalyst #LauraRichards #BehaviouralAnalysis #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #Podcast     More from Grace Stuart Why She Stayed Podcast on Spotify   Why She Stayed Podcast on  Apple   Instagram      Clip     https://fb.watch/Jgz69E5Y1u/  Thank You to the Crime Analyst Sponsor Who Make the Show Possible.

What is the difference between intimacy and eroticism? While many people use the two words interchangeably, Lauren and Trey open this episode by separating them completely. Grounding their definitions in both basic research and clinical framework, they define intimacy as the realm of safety, emotional closeness, and deep trust, while eroticism belongs to the world of sexual arousal, play, fantasy, and vibrant vitality.Through an unfiltered look into their own marriage, Lauren and Trey reveal how true intimacy thrives on holistic acceptance, from sharing vulnerable moments like being taken care of while sick to letting go of the false need for "secrecy" in long-term relationships. They explore the psychology behind why some partners push intimacy away to maintain a false sense of "mystery" or projection, and they dive into the Jungian concept of Shadow Contracts, the rigid, childhood rules we subconsciously write that dictate how we love, protect, and defend ourselves in adult partnerships.Key Takeaways & Concepts Explored:• Intimacy vs. Eroticism: Intimacy equals safety, emotional vulnerability, and deep trust; eroticism equals arousal, play, passion, fantasy, and aliveness.• Referencing Esther Perel's work with Holocaust survivors, Lauren explains how harnessing play, sex, and vitality serves as a profound tool for thriving after trauma.• Privacy vs. Secrecy: Understanding the critical distinction in partnership. Privacy honors sacred individual space (like solo practice or processing ideas), whereas secrecy relies on withholding information that causes detriment or deprives a partner of informed consent.• Childhood Shadow Contracts: Exploring the subconscious "I will never..." promises made in youth. Lauren and Trey break down how these outdated contracts show up as perfectionism, self-directed rage, or defensiveness in primary partnerships.• Rewriting Gender Scripts: A preview into breaking down patriarchal expectations so men can feel safe being cared for and women can be fully championed in their eroticism.Ready to rewrite outdated scripts, build authentic intimacy, and cultivate high-heat eroticism in your relationship?Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

Women who have missed a cervical screening appointment in England are to be offered HPV self-testing kits by the NHS. Over the next year, nearly four million women will receive invites on the NHS App or via text message, email or letter to order a free kit to use at home. The aim is to encourage more women to complete their potentially lifesaving screening to detect HPV, which can increase the risk of cervical cancer. Dr Sue Mann, National Clinical Director for Women's Health in England and a consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health, joined Nuala McGovern.For more than a decade, armed gangs in northern Nigeria have repeatedly targeted schools, kidnapping children for ransom and forcing some educational establishments to close.

It's Friday, August 28th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Nigerian Christian farmers are being targeted by Fulani Muslims For many Christian farmers in the Plateau State of Nigeria, traveling to their own farms has become dangerous, reports International Christian Concern. Some have stopped going altogether. Others now move in groups, hoping that numbers will offer some protection. But for families who depend on agriculture for survival, abandoning their land is not an easy choice.  The fear has grown following a series of attacks by armed men suspected to be Fulani Muslim militias which have targeted farmers traveling to and from their fields.  On July 30, according to Christian leader Joseph Yonkpa, 60-year-old Christian farmer Bulus Turu was “attacked and macheted while returning from his farm.”  At least 27 people have been killed in ambushes, many of whom were Christian farmers traveling to their farms.  Yohana Boh, a community leader, said, “We received early warning, but the Nigerian Army ignored it. We can't sleep. We can't farm. We're calling for help.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to Lateef Kayode, the Nigerian Ambassador to America, asking him to urge his government to protect the Christian farmers there. Address your letter to the Nigerian Embassy, 3519 International Court, NW, Washington, DC 20008. You can find that address, and the spelling of the Nigerian Ambassador's name, in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Flash flood in Nepal killed 360 The deadly flash flood in Nepal on August 26th has killed 360 people and left 1,400 missing including 90 Americans, reports Weather.com. The flood was likely caused by a huge chunk of a glacier that broke off and temporarily dammed a river.  That may have led to the backed-up water surging downstream with enormous force a few hours later. In fact, water levels in rivers across the flood-affected region rose by as much as 29.5 feet in 30 minutes. The U.S. State Department said it is not aware of any U.S. deaths, but three Americans have been rescued. Hundreds have lost their homes across the Himalayan region, and officials reported large-scale damage to critical infrastructure, including hydropower dams, roads, buildings and bridges in the region. US Patriot missile stocks in Europe are ‘beyond critical' due to Iran war An unnamed U.S. defense official in Europe and an unnamed NATO official told the Associated Press that the U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe largely driven by President Donald Trump's war with Iran. This raises concerns about vulnerabilities in NATO countries to a potential Russian attack. The U.S. defense official said the most concerning shortfall involves Patriot missile interceptors, which can shoot down Russia's high-speed ballistic missiles. The NATO official confirmed the low inventories of Patriots among American and NATO forces in Europe. President Trump renames Lake Ontario to Lake America On August 27th, President Donald Trump said he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as “Lake America” in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada, reports the Associated Press. The president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Girl Scouts promotes Islam The Girl Scouts organization in America already has plunged neck-deep into transgenderism and abortion, with ideologies that support such leftist agendas. Now, the group is jumping into Islam, reports WorldNetDaily.com. An online report confirmed the Girls Scouts are offering "badges" that are earned by little girls when they visit mosques and learn the "Pillars of Islam." Not surprisingly, social media commenters were outraged. Turning Point USA, founded by Charlie Kirk, tweeted, “Nothing says Girl Scouts of AMERICA like learning the pillars of Islam.” And another wrote, “Never buy Girl Scout cookies again.” According to a new investigation by Natalie Winters, the White House correspondent for Steve Bannon's War Room, she documented that, "Girl Scout troops across the U.S. are incorporating Islamic religious instruction, prayer and activities, [like wearing the hijab head covering and participating in the Ramadan fast] into scouting programs.” Winters reported, "Girl Scouts Heart of Central California knew about the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims' religious integration years earlier. The council's 2009 annual report said that four troops with 30 girls began …  [incorporating] Girl Scouting into the mosque's youth programming. It highlighted a Ramadan sleepover involving fasting and girls 'praying through the night.'" The examples appear to involve individual troops and local councils rather than a nationwide requirement imposed on all Girl Scouts. However, there is a "nationwide pattern of Girl Scout troops based at mosques incorporating Islamic prayer, Quranic instruction, and lessons on hijab into activities conducted under the Girl Scouts banner." In Exodus 20:3, God said, “You shall have no other gods before Me.” And, to be sure, Allah, the Islamic god, is not the one true God. Mom banned from school after protesting push of sexual perversion And finally, an Oregon mother is suing Portland Public Schools for banning her from her children's elementary school for protesting its promotion of homosexual transgender “pride,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. The Oregonian reports that Allison Roberts, who has two children at Meriwether Lewis Elementary School, took issue with benches painted with “Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride” rainbow designs. She also objected to an assignment in which one of her kids was tasked with filling out an “identity flower” exercise including gender. After a meeting with school officials to discuss her concerns, she began distributing letters about the situation outside the school, leading to a “heated exchange” with one parent. That led to a one-year trespass order keeping her off the grounds ostensibly for “threatening and intimidating members of the school community” with “harmful, unlawful and/or disruptive behavior.” As a result, Roberts was forced to miss one of her children's graduations from elementary school. Now, she is suing to reverse the trespass order and secure her rights to engage in free speech about her children's education.  Mrs. Roberts should prayerfully consider pulling her children out of the pro-perversion government schools and homeschool them instead. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."

Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   You've probably heard about the 90-day reboot.   Quit porn for 90 days, reset your brain, restore your dopamine, eliminate the cravings, and you're healed... right?   Not exactly.   In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich breaks down what actually happens after you quit porn, what the science says about brain recovery and neuroplasticity, and why 90 days isn't a magic neurological reset point.   Frank explains one of the most important distinctions men need to understand:   Quitting porn and healing from porn are not the same thing.   You can quit porn today. Quitting happens when you make the decision to cut off the behavior.   But healing the patterns your brain may have spent years—or decades—learning is a deeper process.   Stress → porn. Loneliness → porn. Rejection → porn. Boredom → porn. Sexual triggers → porn.   Over time, these cues can become connected to anticipation, craving, and habitual behavior. Simply removing porn doesn't instantly erase those learned associations.   That's why real recovery has to go beyond counting days.   In this episode, Frank breaks down the difference between abstinence, recovery, and transformation—and explains why the ultimate goal isn't becoming a man who's really good at not watching porn.   It's becoming the man who no longer needs porn.     In This Episode, You'll Learn: How long it actually takes your brain to recover after quitting porn   Whether the popular 90-day reboot is scientifically supported   Why quitting porn can happen in a day while healing takes longer   How porn-related cues, cravings, and learned associations can develop   Why triggers can remain even after you've stopped watching porn   How neuroplasticity allows the brain to learn new behavioral patterns   Why two men can have completely different recovery timelines   The problem with obsessing over streaks and counting days   Why quitting porn but replacing it with thirst traps, fantasy, or sexualized content isn't true recovery   The difference between abstinence, healing, and transformation   Better ways to measure your progress than simply counting porn-free days   Why what you do during your recovery matters as much as how much time passes   How Frank's ESCAPE → REWIRE → REBUILD → RESTORE → LEAD framework approaches lasting freedom   What it actually means to become a man who no longer needs porn     Ready To Stop Counting Days And Start Rebuilding Your Life?   Join Coach Frank Rich and a brotherhood of men committed to breaking free from porn, rebuilding their identity, strengthening their faith, and becoming the husbands, fathers, and leaders they were created to be inside The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood.   Join The Rebuilt Man Brotherhood - www.skool.com/rebootyourlife   Get your copy of Porn Free Man If this episode resonated with you, Porn Free Man is the next step.   Inside the book, Coach Frank Rich walks you through the exact identity-based framework that's helped more than 1,800 men break free from porn and rebuild every area of their lives.   Learn how to stop managing addiction and start becoming the man who no longer wants, needs, or desires porn.

You don't get extra credit for suffering.There is a difference between discomfort that should be endured and suffering that deserves treatment. In this final episode of Menopause in the Light, Coach Alex brings the entire series together by tackling some of the most confusing—and heavily marketed—parts of menopause. Hormone therapy. Testosterone. Sleep. Sexual health. Peptides. GLP-1 medications. Expensive hormone panels. “Bioidentical” treatments. Optimization culture.The goal isn't to tell every woman what treatment she needs. It's to help you become a more informed participant in your own healthcare, ask better questions, and recognize when faithful stewardship means doing the hard thing—and when it means getting help.In this episode, Coach Alex discusses:Why menopausal hormone therapy is neither the devil nor the saviorWhat current evidence says about estrogen and menopausal symptomsWhy route, dose, medical history, and individual risk matterWhy many women probably don't need expensive hormone panelsWhat “bioidentical hormones” actually meansThe limited but legitimate role of testosterone therapyWhy painful sex should not simply be accepted as part of agingSleep disruption, hot flashes, insomnia, and sleep apneaMood changes during perimenopause and menopauseWhat to know before jumping into peptide therapyGLP-1 medications and the importance of preserving muscleHow to evaluate the next supplement, hormone, device, injection, or wellness trend somebody tries to sell youWhy health data should serve your life—not become your lifeWhen it's time to stop managing symptoms alone and talk with a qualified healthcare professionalOne of the central questions of the episode is simple: What problem am I actually trying to solve?Before adding another supplement, test, medication, protocol, wearable, or optimization strategy, get clear about the problem first. And through all four episodes of Menopause in the Light, remember:Your body is changing.You are not broken.Train it.Nourish it.Get help when help is warranted.And never confuse your physical health with your worth. As Coach Alex closes the series: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.”There may still be decades of serving, leading, mentoring, traveling, building, teaching, loving, training, praying, giving, and becoming ahead of you.Your Next Faithful Step--If this series helped you understand menopause better but left you wondering:“What do I personally need to work on first?”Start with the Faithful Fitness Assessment.The assessment evaluates your health and stewardship through four Faithful Fitness anchors:Integrity • Grit • Growth • AweYou'll receive a personalized report identifying strengths, gaps, and areas that may deserve your attention next.And your $7.99 assessment also includes your seat in the next live Faithful Fitness workshop with Coach Alex, where you can better understand your results, ask questions, and identify your next faithful step.Take the Faithful Fitness Assessment: https://faithfulfitness.co/assessmentBecause you probably don't need more random information.You need enough clarity about your situation to make a wise decision about what comes next.Train Hard.

In this raw and radiant episode, host Dara Levan sits down with yoga teacher, author, and Strala Yoga founder Tara Stiles. Tara opens up about being sexually assaulted at her dance school, how she never reported it, and how yoga became her blueprint for healing. She shares why she stopped dancing professionally at 22, the pushback she received for not using Sanskrit and for putting yoga on YouTube, and the Harvard Business School case study that compared her approach to Bikram. You'll learn three key takeaways: why “softness is not weakness” and how mobilization builds real strength, how to avoid burnout by not taking credit for others' transformations, and the simple practice of “never suffer a bad position.” Tara also reveals the somatic symptoms Dara experienced while writing her first novel, the back-to-back exercise that changes everything, and why her upcoming book Living Softly took six years to complete. This is a conversation about presence, protection, and the power of being movable.TIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro11:28 - Sexual assault disclosure at dance school15:24 - Drawn to yoga for healing18:33 - Don't take credit for transformations22:42 - Be movable so you can be moved27:15 - Somatic symptoms while writing29:45 - Never suffer a bad position33:39 - Good enough vs perfectionism40:50 - Pushback from traditional yoga48:56 - Softness connects diverse people52:07 - Softness is not weakness54:57 - OutroRESOURCES:•    Tara Stiles Website: tarastiles.com•    Tara Stiles on Instagram: @tarastiles•    Tara Stiles on Substack: Tara StilesDara Levan / Every Soul Has a Story:•    https://www.instagram.com/dara.levan/•    Website: daralevan.com

If you feel like you need to orgasm before you can focus, relax, sleep, or get on with your life, there may be more happening beneath that sexual craving than you realize.For much of my teenage years and twenties, I lived in a cycle of wanting orgasm, experiencing it, and then waiting for the desire to build all over again. If I went several days without release, I felt distracted, preoccupied, and unable to fully engage with the rest of my life.For a long time, I believed this meant my sexual desire was simply too strong.What I eventually learned was very different.In this episode, I explore how porn addiction can gradually turn healthy sexual desire into sexual dependence. Porn and masturbation can become more than sexual behaviors—they can become ways of regulating stress, loneliness, anxiety, overwhelm, boredom, emotional pain, and nervous system activation.When that happens repeatedly, your brain can begin to associate orgasm with relief. Eventually, the urge may feel less like “I want this” and more like “I need this in order to feel normal again.”But the goal of porn addiction recovery is not to destroy your sexuality.It is to separate desire from dependency.I'll explain why porn cravings and masturbation cravings are often connected to deeper emotional, neurological, biological, relational, and even spiritual needs. I'll also explore how years of porn and masturbation can condition your sexual template—and why some men continue craving masturbation even when they are sexually active with their spouse.Most importantly, I'll give you practical ways to begin replacing compulsive sexual release with healthier forms of regulation, purpose, creation, connection, and emotional mindfulness.One of the biggest changes in my own recovery came when I stopped treating sexual desire like an enemy I needed to fight.Instead, I began asking a different question:What is this energy asking me to do with my life?You do not have to become less alive, less masculine, or less sexual in order to overcome porn addiction. The work is learning to lead your sexuality rather than allowing it to lead you—to build a healthier relationship with desire that aligns with your values, relationships, purpose, and the man you want to become.Free Porn Recovery ResourcesIf you want practical tools to help you overcome porn cravings and build a recovery mindset and lifestyle, I've created several free resources for you.Download The 10 Tools to Conquer Cravings, attend my free workshop The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for Porn, or explore The 4 Pillars of Recovery:https://nomoredesire.com/toolsGod bless and much love.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

Women who have missed a cervical screening appointment in England are to be offered HPV self-testing kits by the NHS. Over the next year, nearly four million women will receive invites on the NHS App or via text message, email or letter to order a free kit to use at home. The aim is to encourage more women to complete their potentially lifesaving screening to detect HPV, which can increase the risk of cervical cancer. Figures show that around a third of women who are eligible for cervical cancer screening have not taken up the offer recently. Dr Sue Mann, National Clinical Director for Women's Health in England and a consultant in Sexual and Reproductive Health, joins Nuala McGovern to discuss.Chef Sally Abe, who owns the restaurant The Pem, and Kayla Lawrie, a producer with social media food influencers TopJaw, have launched a map of women-owned hospitality businesses. What began with 350 restaurants, pubs, cafés and bakeries has now grown to more than 1,000 venues across the UK. They explain to Nuala what they hope to achieve.Around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year, with the majority aged over 50. But around 120 of those women are between 15 and 24. Enlli Thompson was just 19 when a growth was found on one of her ovaries. Since then, she's undergone chemotherapy, egg freezing, a hysterectomy and medically induced menopause. Enlli joins Nuala, alongside GP Charlotte Badescu, who was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2021 when she was 31.Stephanie Brown from the University of Hull has spent the past year as Woman's Hour's researcher in residence on the scheme that Radio 4 runs with the Arts and Humanities Research Council. She studies the history of crime and, as part of our summer series exploring some of the latest research into women's lives past and present, she shares new findings about the punishment of women in medieval England.Is your wardrobe a clutter-free haven of beautifully coordinated outfits? Or is it more a chaotic jumble of jumpers, jeans and everything in between? Could an app be the answer? Some apps allow users to catalogue what they own, visualise outfits and experiment with their style. Nuala is joined by Nicole Glennon, Deputy Editor of the Irish Examiner Weekend magazine, and Dion Terrelonge, fashion psychologist and practitioner.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

What if the sexual struggle you're trying so hard to overcome isn't really about sex? In this conversation, Dr. Carol talks with Dr. Floyd Godfrey about the powerful connection between attachment, intimacy, mental health, and sexuality. We're born with a deep biological need for connection and belonging, but when those needs are wounded or unmet, they can sometimes become fused with sexual desire. Sexual behaviors or attractions may then become attempts to meet legitimate needs for connection, affirmation, comfort, belonging, or mentorship in ways that ultimately leave us even more empty. Dr. Godfrey explains why lasting healing requires us to look "under the hood" rather than focusing only on behavior modification. Recovery may involve identifying old wounds, changing unhealthy patterns and environments, building intentional relationships and support, and most importantly, inviting Jesus into the deeper places of our story. The goal isn't to become nonsexual, but to become increasingly whole—to learn how to meet our God-given needs for intimacy and connection in healthy ways through relationship with God and with other people. Learn more about Dr. Floyd Godfrey and his work here, including information about his book Healing and Recovery More from Dr. Carol Ministries: In-Person Intensive Weekend - Experience true healing and wholeness as you unpack your personal story around intimacy and relationships in a safe, caring, Christ-filled environment.     Individual Coaching with Dr. Carol provides a one-on-one format to help you navigate your personal journey through practical encouragement and scriptural- based perspective.   Have a question for Dr. Carol?

Welcome to Day 2933 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2933 – Wisdom Nuggets – Proverbs 2:16-22 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2933 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2933 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Road to the Shades – Rescued from Broken Covenants and the Realm of Death On our previous episode, on Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Two, we explored Proverbs chapter two, verses nine through fifteen, discovering how divine wisdom enters our hearts to act as a watchful sentinel. We saw how this internal guard rescues us from evil men who speak twisted words, turn away from upright paths, and take dark pleasure in doing wrong. Today, as we step onto Day Two Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty-Three of our ongoing trek, we arrive at the solemn, dramatic climax of Proverbs chapter two, focusing on verses sixteen through twenty-two. Here, Solomon turns his attention to the second major threat facing every traveler on the road of life: the seductive lure of the immoral woman, and the tragic ruin of broken covenants. Over my fifty years of studying Biblical wisdom, and through my seventy years of walking this earth—watching marriages thrive and watching families fracture—I have observed that there are two great reefs upon which human destinies are broken: the love of dishonest gain, and the surrender to unbridled passion. Both offer flattering promises, but both end in the cold darkness of destruction. Today, Solomon shows us how wisdom preserves our covenant integrity, keeping our feet planted safely on the path of life. Let us open our ears to the solemn warning recorded in the New Living Translation, grouping together the logical, contiguous thoughts found in Proverbs chapter two, verse sixteen, and verse seventeen. Wisdom will save you also from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. She has abandoned her husband and ignored the covenant she made before God. Look at the dual description Solomon provides in verse sixteen! Wisdom rescues you from "the immoral woman" and from "the seductive words of the promiscuous woman." In the original Hebrew text, these two phrases utilize the terms zarah and nokriyah—which literally translate as the "strange woman" or the "foreign woman." In ancient Israel, this was not merely a comment on nationality; it described someone who was spiritually and morally outside the bounds of Yahweh's covenant community! She represents an alien, destructive way of life that stands in direct opposition to Lady Wisdom. Notice, however, where her primary power lies: it is in her speech! Just like the wicked man in verse twelve whose words were twisted, the immoral woman uses "seductive words." In Hebrew, her speech is described as smooth, slippery, and flattering—telling the unsuspecting youth exactly what his foolish ego wants to hear! But look at verse seventeen, where Solomon exposes her true character beneath the smooth words! "She has abandoned her husband and ignored the covenant she made before God." In the original language, her husband is called the alluph of her youth—the intimate companion, guardian, and chief friend of her early years. She didn't just walk away from a legal contract; she fractured a deep, personal partnership. Even more sobering, she "ignored the covenant she made before God." In the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview, marriage was never viewed as a mere temporary, secular arrangement. Marriage was a sacred, binding covenant sworn in the presence of Yahweh and His heavenly assembly! To break those vows is to defy the cosmic order of the Most High God. In my seventy years of life, I have watched smooth, flattering talk break up marriages that took decades to build. Seduction always promises secret intimacy, but it delivers covenant betrayal. The narrative takes a chilling, cosmic turn as Solomon pulls back the curtain to reveal the hidden destination of her house, combining the contiguous thoughts found in Proverbs chapter two, verse eighteen, and verse nineteen. Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave. None who go to her ever return or find the paths of life. These two verses contain some of the most haunting, serious language in the entire Book of Proverbs! Solomon warns, "Entering her house leads to death; it is the road to the grave." In the ancient Hebrew mindset, the word translated here as "the grave" or "the dead" is Rephaim—a term deeply embedded in the ancient Near Eastern divine-council worldview! The Rephaim were associated with the shades, the sunken spirits of the dead, and the dark, chaotic underworld of Sheol. Solomon is revealing a terrifying spiritual geography: her house is built directly on the cliff-edge of hell! Crossing her threshold is not a harmless romantic adventure; it is a downward descent into the realm of spiritual death. Look at the sobering finality expressed in verse nineteen: "None who go to her ever return or find the paths of life!" While this is poetic hyperbole—because God's grace can redeem any repentant soul—it highlights a brutal, practical reality that I have witnessed time and again over my fifty years of studying wisdom. Sexual immorality and covenant betrayal create a profound, spiritual numbness that paralyzes the conscience. Once a person crosses that boundary, sacrificing their marriage, their reputation, and their relationship with God on the altar of passing pleasure, the path back to wholeness is extraordinarily steep, painful, and rare. The house of temptation promises paradise, but its hallway leads straight into the dark chamber of the Rephaim. Wisdom stands at the door, crying out: "Do not step inside!" Having exposed the catastrophic trap of the immoral path, Solomon brings the entire second chapter of Proverbs to a triumphant, dual-sided conclusion, grouping together the logical thoughts found in Proverbs chapter two, verse twenty, verse twenty-one, and verse twenty-two. So follow the steps of the godly, and stay on the paths of the righteous. For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it. But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be ripped away. Look at how Solomon synthesizes the entire chapter into one clear, decisive forks-in-the-road moment! In verse twenty, he urges, "So follow the steps of the godly, and stay on the paths of the righteous." This brings us full circle back to the central theme of Proverbs: life is a journey, a trek! You cannot walk down the path of compromise and expect to end up at the destination of peace. You must intentionally align your steps with those who fear the Lord. Then, in verse twenty-one and verse twenty-two, Solomon contrasts the ultimate destiny of the two paths using the profound imagery of "the land." He declares, "For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it. But the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be ripped away!" In ancient Israelite covenant theology, "the land"—the aretz—represented the place of Yahweh's presence, protection, blessing, and inherited rest. To dwell securely in the land meant having a permanent future, a thriving family, and a lasting legacy. The godly and those with integrity—those who are tamim, wholehearted and blameless—are firmly rooted like deep oak trees that no storm can uproot! In stark contrast, look at what happens to the wicked and the treacherous: they are "removed" and "ripped away!" The Hebrew word used here implies being yanked up by the roots, like noxious, poisonous weeds purged from a garden. They thought they were building an empire through their deceit, greedy shortcuts, and immoral conquests, but in the end, they leave behind no lasting root, no honor, and no legacy. They vanish from the land like smoke. As we bring our trek through Proverbs chapter two to a close today, consider the two destinations set before you. You can follow the slippery words of the culture that lead straight to broken covenants and spiritual death, or you can cherish the wisdom of God, walk with integrity, and remain firmly established in His blessing. Choose to walk on the highway of the righteous today, honor your covenants, and build a living legacy that will stand secure for generations to come.

In this episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into a conversation that makes many couples freeze up: how to navigate past sexual experiences and erotic imagination without triggering insecurity, competition, or defensive walls. Prompted by a listener's honest question about male insecurity regarding a partner's past peak sexual encounters, Lauren and Trey unpack Dr. Jack Morin's Four Cornerstones of Eroticism and explore how long-term partners can build a shared erotic language instead of policing each other's pleasure.Lauren shares one of her own past erotic encounters from her time of separation, demonstrating how couples can use past experiences as a "springboard" to co-create deeper intimacy rather than viewing past lovers as threat or competition. Trey offers a grounded, compassionate male perspective on breaking down the "must-be-her-everything" trap, dismantling internalized misogyny, and learning to do the inner work required to stay securely attached, curious, and aroused in long-term partnership.Key Takeaways & Tools Explored:• Jack Morin's Erotic Equation: Understanding the formula Attraction + Obstacle = Excitement. Lauren explains why peak sexual encounters often depend on context, fantasy, or brief obstacles, and why a peak encounter rarely reflects who someone wants to actually be with in daily partnership.• Dismantling the "Must Be Her Everything" Trap: Trey breaks down why men often feel crushed by hearing about a partner's past, explaining how societal scripts pressure men to be the ultimate sexual champion instead of remaining curious lovers.• How to Request an Erotic Gift (May I / Will You): Trey models a clinical communication tool for requesting erotic details while setting boundaries that keep both partners feeling safe and within their emotional limits.• David Schnarch's Solid, Flexible Self: Standing in your own self-definition so that your partner's past or fantasies don't cause you to collapse into anxiety or defensiveness.Work With LaurenIf you and your partner are ready to build a secure base, step past sexual comparison, and integrate deep erotic curiosity into your marriage, let's work together.Request your free 15-minute consult at sexedforyou.com/freeconsult.About ThemLauren and Trey are partners living in Central Virginia, where Lauren owns and operates Sex Ed for You.

R. Kelly openly groomed teenage victims while on trial for child pornography – a trial based on sex tapes that were once sold at Tower Records. He wrote a song designed to help Michael Jackson turn attention away from his own troubling allegations, and he wrote that song while he was illegally married to a 15-year old. That marriage eventually brought about his downfall. But not before R. Kelly went on a 20-year reign of terror – all conducted in plain sight while he was one of the biggest R&B artists in the world. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault, child sexual assault, and domestic violence.

Hawk's interest is procedural. Two actions like that mean two warrants, which means agents went to a federal judge with an affidavit and established probable cause, both that crimes likely occurred and that evidence of them would likely be found in those specific places. That is a meaningful threshold, and it is not a finding of guilt. The open question is jurisdiction. Sexual assault is generally prosecuted by states. Federal involvement usually points to something crossing state lines, and the reporting so far does not explain which theory applies here. Hawk also notes the timing and the current posture of the Justice Department, which is worth holding in mind either way.

Norwegian conscripts arrive at boot camp straight out of school. They are assigned at random to a shared room and they live in it for the next eight weeks. Whatever the culture of that room turns out to be, they are stuck with it.We know that the military everywhere has a poor record on sexual harassment. Johanna Rickne (Stockholm University, CEPR) and her co-authors wanted to reduce its acceptance, and the number of incidents. Compulsory training, standing a in a room a showing a PowerPoint, has a poor record. It can even inspire a backlash. Instead,  they included two pieces of information in a 20-minute enrolment survey. One fact was about how women score on the army's own end-of-service assessments. The other was about what last year's recruits really thought about crude sexual jokes. Eight weeks later, the researchers came back to see what had changed for the 949 recruits.The research behind this episode:Olle Folke, Torbjørn Hanson, Åshild A. Johnsen, Andreas Kotsadam, and Johanna Rickne. 2026. "Targeting Attitudes to Combat Sexual Harassment: A Randomized Intervention in the Norwegian Military." CEPR Discussion Paper 21475. The discussion paper is gated. It is also published in the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization.To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Johanna Rickne. 2026. "Combatting sexual harassment in the military." VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestJohanna Rickne is Professor of Economics at the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI) at Stockholm University, and holds part-time chairs at the University of Nottingham and the Stockholm School of Economics. She is affiliated with the Centre for Economic Policy Research. Her research spans labour economics, political economics and gender economics, with sustained work on sexual harassment as a workplace hazard, on who ends up in political office, and on what makes work meaningful. She won the Assar Lindbeck Medal in 2023.Research cited in this episodeThe Sexual Experiences Questionnaire is the behavioural instrument used to measure prevalence here. Rather than asking people whether they were sexually harassed, a term that different people read very differently, it presents a list of specific behaviours and asks whether each one happened. The version used in Norway runs to 14 items and is adapted from the questionnaire developed for the US military.Gender harassment is one of three categories in the standard model of sexual harassment, alongside unwanted sexual attention and sexual coercion. It covers hostile or demeaning conduct based on someone's sex or gender that is not necessarily sexual in nature, including remarks that a person is not suited to the job. In this boot camp it was the most common behaviour reported by women.Backlash from compliance training is the reason the intervention avoids looking like training at all. Mark Roehling, Dongyuan Wu, Mahl Geum Choi and James Dulebohn's 2022 meta-analysis in Personnel Psychology gathers the evidence on what harassment training does and does not shift; other studies find that employees most inclined to harass become more tolerant of the behaviour after being told how to behave. Voluntary sessions have the opposite problem, in that those employees do not turn up.Misperceived social norms supply the mechanism for the second piece of information. Leonardo Bursztyn, Alessandra Gonzalez and David Yanagizawa-Drott's study of Saudi Arabian husbands showed that men privately supported their wives working outside the home while badly underestimating how many other men agreed; correcting the misperception changed what those men did. The boot camp version asks recruits what their predecessors thought about sexualised jokes, then tells them the answer.The Norwegian Armed Forces service statement is the source of the first piece of information. Recruits are assessed at the end of service on leadership, responsibility, collaboration, professional competence and judgement. Average scores show no gender gap; the graph was shown to the treated recruits in this experiment.The vignette holds the harassment event constant across everyone who answers. Recruits read a short scenario set in a room like their own and rate six statements about it, covering whether the conduct counts as harassment, what the woman should do, and what any bystanders owe her. Because the incident is fixed, differences in the answers cannot be explained away by differences in what people happened to experience.Sexual harassment and gender inequality is the wider agenda this episode sits inside. Olle Folke and Johanna Rickne's 2022 paper in the Quarterly Journal of Economics uses Swedish survey and administrative data to show that harassment risk falls hardest on whichever sex is in the minority in a workplace, and that it pushes people out of jobs.More VoxTalks Economics episodesViolence against women in politics. Gianmarco Daniele on why women who win office in Italy are far more likely than men to be attacked, and what that does to who stands for election in the first place.Violence against women at work. Abi Adams-Prassl on Finnish police records linked to employment data, and what happens to the careers of the victim and the perpetrator after one colleague assaults another.Related reading on VoxEU.orgDiscrimination in work conditions: The case of sexual harassment, a VoxEU column by Johanna Rickne and Olle Folke arguing that economists should treat sexual harassment as gender discrimination in working conditions, and showing that both men and women carry the risk when they are the gender minority.

For millennia, sexuality has been largely misunderstood. People see it as an “act” between two or more persons. It is something to “get” or to “have” or to “do”.The ancients knew differently.They knew that sexuality was not limited to the bedroom.They knew that your sexual, creative, life force energy was yours. It belonged to you. It was used to activate and expand into higher levels of consciousness.Sexual energy is earth energy. It is literally life moving through you.Everyone is innately sexual. I don't care how dimmed your desire has been. You are still a sexual being. Your sexuality does not taint your divinity. Your divine self is sexual.Much of the wounding around sexuality began when we were told that god was disembodied, lived outside of the earth, and was a single man. Apparently, he wasn't having sex, but guess what?All of the ancient civilizations prior to that had a male and female god that mated to create life. There was always a feminine deity alongside the masculine deity. They were always in pairs. There were always two, yet they were one. A festival honoring sacred sexual union was celebrated for over 2,000 years in ancient Mesopotamia.Even the Rig Vedas from India say that it was the sexual union of the male and female that created all of life.It took thousands of years for people to begin ingesting the idea that the divine is not sexual, or that something is wrong with sexuality. A lot of force, violence, and suppression was used to do so.Starting this week, I am doing a Series on God & Sex Series on Sacred Sexuality.The first episode is How to Reclaim Sex as Sacred.To reclaim your sexuality as your own is part of your path to power and sovereignty. You can either work with me 1:1 in a private portal of transformation or join the online Temple of Divine Feminine Power.This Sunday, August 23, we will begin our monthly focus on Sexual Sovereignty.You will connect with Lilith, the legendary first wife of Adam, who refused to lie underneath him all of the time. She is the epitome of sexual sovereignty (which is why she's been demonized, but we get to cast off all that sexual guilt and shame!!!).Visit https://thepathtosovereignty.com/temple-of-divine-feminine-power/ to reclaim sexual sovereignty!Even if you can't join live, you'll receive access to the full recording, as well as an embodiment practice and weekly embodiment teachings.Click https://thepathtosovereignty.com/reclaimyoursovereignty-relationship-coach/ to enter a private portal of transformation.If this conversation about sacred sexuality, please send them my way for future episodes!To access the Free 12 Days of Soul Sovereignty to begin reprogramming your subconscious mind, shift how you show up in relationships, and begin your path to sovereignty, visit:https://thepathtosovereignty.com/About your host Jessica Falcon:A former laywer turned mystic, Jessica is an International Soul Embodiment Guide & Relationship Expert.

In this episode, I give you a list of examples so you can start initiating more non-sexual touch with your wife or girlfriend. This is soo important for your connection (connection is the foundation of a great sex life). If you're a man who has an active sex life and feels loved by his woman but struggles with sex due to performance anxiety problems... Then coaching is the best thing for you! It's very common to be in a loving relationship yet still struggle with sex-related challenges. But this does NOT have to be the case.I can teach you to Trust your body, so performance issues no longer come to mind when you think of sex.Change your relationship with sex, so you think differently about it, talk differently about it and feel more relaxed about it.Have better sex that pleasures your body and hers. Sex is supposed to be a shared experience between you both, not something one of you 'gives' or 'needs'. Once you understand this perspective, sex feels so much better for you both.Apply for coaching by applying for a Sex Audit Here.Hope you enjoy this episode :)PS.Did you download Ronan yet?

What happens when you love your partner, have a strong relationship, and genuinely enjoy your life together—but the sexual chemistry just isn't there anymore?Losing desire doesn't necessarily mean you've fallen out of love. Sometimes, what's missing is polarity—the energetic charge created when two people are connected without becoming so blended that there's no longer any space, mystery, or tension between them.In this candid conversation, JJ Flizanes and Doug Sandler are joined by sex and relationship expert Dr. Jane Guyn to explore what creates sexual polarity, why it can disappear in long-term relationships, and what couples can do to begin bringing attraction, desire, and playfulness back.Dr. Jane explains that when couples become completely merged—doing everything together, knowing everything about each other, and functioning almost as one unit—it can become difficult to experience the separation necessary for erotic charge. Creating healthy physical and emotional space can actually help couples rediscover each other.JJ and Doug also share openly about their own relationship and the changes they've experienced by becoming more conscious of masculine and feminine energy, creating space for individuality, communicating more clearly about what they want, and allowing intimacy to become playful rather than something that has to be performed correctly.In This Episode, You'll Hear About:What sexual polarity actually means and why it mattersWhy loving someone and desiring someone aren't always the same thingHow becoming too merged with your partner can diminish attractionWhy having your own interests, experiences, and space can create more mystery and sexual chargeMasculine and feminine energy—and why polarity isn't simply about genderWhy high-achieving women who spend much of their lives leading, deciding, organizing, and getting things done may have difficulty shifting into receivingHow men can step more confidently into initiation without women having to make themselves smallerThe importance of communicating what you actually want instead of expecting your partner to figure it outHow performance anxiety, shame, and fear of doing something “wrong” can cause partners to avoid intimacy altogetherWhy safety, trust, patience, and curiosity create room for sexual explorationHow playfulness can help take sex out of the realm of pressure and performanceWhy bringing the spark back isn't necessarily about having more sex—it's about creating a different dynamic between youOne of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that a partner who appears to want less sex may not necessarily want less sex—they may want less of the sex that's currently being offered. That opens an entirely different conversation about desire, communication, pleasure, and what each person actually needs.Sexual chemistry doesn't have to disappear simply because you've been together for years. Sometimes the people capable of creating an entirely new level of intimacy are already there—you just have to create the safety, space, communication, and polarity that allow those parts of you to come forward.Connect with Dr. Jane Guyn: HowToFixMySexLife.com — Learn more about Dr. Jane's work with individuals and couples around intimacy, sexual connection, desire, and relationships.

Sexual difference, authority, and a surprisingly relatable Satan.You may feel intimidated by reading an epic like Paradise Lost, but in this episode we argue for why its worth the effort. In addition, we share our own experiences reading Milton's epic, discuss resources that make it more approachable, and explore the rich themes he unfolds along the way: creation and fall, authority and submission, sexual difference, temptation, pride, and the deceptiveness of Satan.

Sexual energy is about a lot more than just sex. I can take that drive and transmute it into motivation, discipline, or professional achievement instead of allowing it to stay focused on sexual behavior. Energy can change forms, and the drive for sex is an energy that can be redirected. The real question is where that energy is getting discharged or redirected. Show Notes: [04:05]#1 Sexual energy is an achievement. [10:40]#2 Unused sexual energy needs a constructive outlet. [15:24]#3 Control creates power.

Do you have what it takes to be "High-T?"Service members are about to find out, as Defense secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the military will be screening men for low testosterone, a hormone found in both women and men that supports bone mass development, red blood cell production, energy levels, and more. It's an important marker of overall health in men, but will it push the United States military to the 'leading edge of lethality' as promised by Hegseth? To get into the facts and fictions around testosterone, Brittany is joined by NPR health correspondent Will Stone, and Dr. Helen Bernie, Director of Sexual and Reproductive Medicine and associate professor of urology at Indiana University.Want more on gender and health?
