Today we're joined by Taylor Clark Johnson, a men's sexuality coach who helps men overcome sexual dysfunction and step into greater confidence, mastery, and presence in their intimate lives. After struggling with porn addiction, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and performance anxiety in his early years, Taylor invested over $50,000 in trainings around the world to transform his relationship with sexuality. His work now blends Tantric, Taoist, and yogic sexual practices with somatic awareness and breathwork to help men cultivate deeper sexual vitality and fulfillment.In this episode, we explore Taylor's recent experience attending a Tantric BDSM training, and what it revealed about dominance, containment, and the deeper dynamics of intimacy between men and women. We talk about the modern man, the modern woman, polarity in relationships, and how slowing down, attuning to the nervous system, and embodying conscious dominance can transform connection and desire.CONNECT WITH ME:Website: www.karinagutierrez.comInstagram: @healingwithkinkFREE 5 day feminine embodiment course: Join here.Apply for 1:1 Mentorship: Apply here.

Damian Russel, author of Enneagram Through the Ages, and Krista Hand join Dr. Kara Nance in a discussion abut the Enneagram's three instinctual drives—Self-Preservation, Sexual (or attraction), and Social—and their profound impact on our psychological, physical, and spiritual well-being. Rooted deeply in our neurobiology and evolutionary survival, these instincts dictate how we meet our basic human needs and react to the world around us. The discussion highlights that individuals prioritize these drives in a unique hierarchical "stack," consisting of a dominant instinct that acts as a core defense system, a supportive secondary instinct, and a neglected "blind spot". Furthermore, the episode examines how cultural conditioning, modern daily stress, and trauma can cause these primal drives to become imbalanced or lead to dysregulation and addictive behaviors. Ultimately, the conversation emphasizes that by engaging in somatic practices like mindful breathing and bodily awareness, we can regulate our nervous systems, balance our instinctual stack, and integrate our primal animal nature with our higher spiritual consciousness.

In this episode, Lauren and Trey dive deep into the clinical and practical applications of David Schnarch's Intimacy & Desire. Moving beyond the bedroom, they explore how the concepts of the High Desire Partner (HDP) and Low Desire Partner (LDP) manifest in every corner of a partnership; from travel and hosting to professional ambition and the pace of daily life.While these terms are often used to describe sexual frequency, Lauren and Trey chop it up to see how these roles flip depending on the context. They explore how Trey often moderates the pace of adventure while Lauren pushes for the next big trip, and the inherent toll of being the HDP for community and hosting. They take a raw look at the intersection of urgency and spaciousness, examining how Trey's desire for a slower, more generative pace interacts with Lauren's high-capacity professional drive.Lauren and Trey tackle the "heavy burden" of being the Low Desire Partner in a sexual dynamic. Lauren deconstructs the cultural shame often directed at women who are HDPs, as well as the pressure felt by LDPs who feel they are keeping their partner from what they want. They explain why they don't actually have a sex problem despite their differing levels of desire, pointing instead to the importance of a Solid Flexible Self. By having a well-defined sense of self that doesn't depend on a partner's constant validation, they are able to use requests and offers in the "third domain" to negotiate intimacy without one person feeling controlled by the other.Coming off a season of repair, they share a vulnerable moment of "slam poetry" eroticism and the importance of receiving a partner's desire even when capacity is low. They model how to stand in the Four Points of Balance, ensuring that neither partner feels silenced or pressured. By understanding that the initial honeymoon phase is a temporary chemical state, they demonstrate how moving into a differentiated, long-term partnership requires intentional tools and a commitment to separate self-responsibility.Lauren offers embodied coaching to help you and your partner navigate these dynamics with clarity and grace.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.

Ep. #806 | What if your focus is shaping your sexual energy far more than you realize?In this episode, I break down one of the main levers to mastering your sexual flame: focus.We get into how focus directs energy, why so many men get stuck in a narrow hotspot of arousal, how to begin expanding pleasure into the rest of the body, and why this changes not only control and stamina, but the depth of connection you can experience with yourself and with a partner.Inquiries: contact@holisticalpha.com
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to George Zeck from Venice, FL. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 8:1-3. Now concerning food offered to idols: we know that "all of us possess knowledge." This "knowledge" puffs up, but love builds up. If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know. But if anyone loves God, he is known by God. — 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 You can be theologically correct—and spiritually careless. Paul opens this section with a warning that cuts against a familiar instinct in believers: the belief that being right automatically makes us faithful. The real danger in a secular culture is not ignorance, but arrogance—truth held without consideration for others. The Corinthians understood that wooden and stone idols were nothing. They knew meat was just meat. Paul doesn't dispute that. He affirms it. But he exposes the problem. Knowledge alone inflates. It creates distance. It feeds superiority. It subtly shifts the question from "What honors God?" to "What am I allowed to do?" Do you see the shift? It is a shift from "He" to "me". But thoughtful "love" for God and others, combined with good theology, does stretch the believer to do some things they would not usually do. Stay humble in moments where pride could be misunderstood. Restrain actions where freedom is allowed. Consider how our accurate theological freedom might adversely affect others. That's why this section of chapter 8 still presses on us today. We may not debate food sacrificed to idols, but many believers still rationalize the so-called "gray areas" of life—places where Scripture allows freedom, yet pride tempts us to lean toward self rather than love. The Corinthians weren't arguing whether idols were real; they were arguing whether their knowledge gave them permission to participate, signal approval, or remain indifferent anyway. In the same way today, the issue is often not personal involvement but endorsement, celebration, or normalization. What God calls sin is reframed as virtue. Sexual immorality is affirmed as love. Abortion is defended as compassion. Same-sex marriage is praised as progress. Drunkenness, pornography, marijuana use, and indulgence are excused as harmless freedoms. Believers may not practice these things themselves, but participation, silence, or celebration can quietly communicate approval. And the defense often sounds spiritual: "I know better." "I'm free in Christ." "This doesn't affect my faith." "I'm not hurting anyone." Paul dismantles that logic. Being right is not the same as being faithful. If knowledge does not lead to love, it has already begun to lead us wrong. Truth without humility hardens hearts. Freedom without love compromises witness. Paul ends with a quiet but profound shift. Maturity is not defined by how much you know about God, but by whether you are known by God. Faithfulness in a pagan world is not measured by how much freedom you can defend, but by how carefully you steward it for the good of others and the glory of God. DO THIS: Before exercising a freedom you believe you have, pause and ask whether it builds others up or subtly elevates yourself. ASK THIS: Where am I more focused on being right than being loving? How might my freedoms affect the conscience or faith of others? Am I using knowledge to serve—or to justify myself? PRAY THIS: Father, guard my heart from pride disguised as conviction. Teach me to hold truth with humility and freedom with love. Shape my life so that it reflects Your heart, not just correct beliefs. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Make Room"
We've Got Issues | Boundary Issues | Carl NicholsIn this message from our We've Got Issues series, Pastor Carl Nichols talks about one of the biggest challenges in modern marriages: boundaries. Culture constantly tries to shape how relationships work, but God's Word calls us to something better. When boundaries are unclear or ignored, marriages often drift toward what culture says is normal instead of what God designed. In this message, we explore six areas where marriages commonly struggle with boundaries and how Scripture helps us protect what matters most.Looking for the homework? Head here: https://www.myrelevant.cc/boundariesRomans 12:1–2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds.Topics covered in this message:In-law boundariesWork & time boundariesDigital & electronic boundariesEmotional & opposite-sex boundariesFinancial boundariesSexual boundariesHealthy boundaries are not about rejection—they are about protection.When we intentionally establish them, we create space for trust, intimacy, and a marriage that honors God.Boundaries don't limit love—they protect it.

There's a specific flavor to a Steve Conrad show. A little awkward. A little hilarious. A little sad. A little dangerous. Sex, lies, murder, and old smut. That tone is back in full force with “DTF: St. Louis,” the HBO Max series that follows adults who think they're signing up for an app that's simple and transactional, only to discover that intimacy is never that clean. The ensemble includes Jason Bateman, Linda Cardellini, David Harbour, and Richard Jenkins, and like Conrad's previous work on “Patriot,” it blends weaponized awkwardness with genuine emotional exposure.On this episode of Bingeworthy, Mike DeAngelo spoke with Conrad and the cast about where the idea began, how you calibrate a tone that's funny and unsettling at the same time, and what it's like to shoot your first scene together at eight in the morning while sitting on Jason Bateman's face.For Conrad, the origin point wasn't a character or a crime, it was the app itself.“It was the brand name of that make-believe app,” he said. “It opened up everything for me, because only a sucker would believe that that's all anybody is down for. I mean, life has its surprises, but the idea that you can have an intimate relationship with somebody, shake hands and say, now go on with the rest of my life — unlikely that that is always going to go that way.”

For decades, midlife has been framed as a time of decline for women — medically, culturally, and personally. Halle Berry is on a mission to change that. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, she shares how her own menopause journey exposed how little real support exists for the 60 million women navigating this transition. That experience ultimately led her to create ReSpin, the community she couldn't find when she needed it. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. We discuss: • Why menopause is often missed — and how to take back control of your energy, mood, and metabolism • What changes in your brain, bones, and muscle and how to protect them in midlife • How comprehensive testing gives you a personalized roadmap for this phase of life • Why fatigue, low libido, and brain fog aren't “just aging” — and what improves when you address the root cause Your second act can be your strongest. It's a chance to reclaim your strength, your energy, and your future on your own terms. This conversation was recorded live at the Eudēmonia Summit.

Sexual addiction is often treated as a behavior problem. Stop the behavior. Remove the temptation. Try harder next time. But what if the behavior is not the real issue? What if the patterns that bring shame, secrecy, and self-sabotage are actually revealing something deeper about the story you carry? This week on Win Today, therapist and researcher Jay Stringer joins me to unpack the anatomy of sexual addiction and unwanted sexual behavior. Drawing from research involving more than 3,800 men and women, Jay explains why these patterns are rarely random and how the unresolved parts of our past often shape them. We talk about why shame keeps people trapped in destructive cycles, why curiosity is often the first step toward healing, and why grief has the surprising power to reshape what we desire. Sexual struggles are not simply moral failures to suppress. They can become a roadmap that leads us toward the healing we have avoided. If you are stuck in patterns you cannot explain, if shame has kept you silent, or if you've tried to manage the behavior without understanding the story behind it, this episode will help you see why real freedom begins with honesty. Guest Bio Jay Stringer is a licensed therapist, minister, and researcher who helps men and women understand and outgrow unwanted sexual behaviors. He is the author of the award-winning book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing, based on a multiyear research study involving more than 3,800 men and women exploring the roots of sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior. Jay is also the creator of the Sexual Behavior Self-Assessment and The Journey Course, a five-month program designed to help individuals identify and transform the deeper drivers behind destructive patterns. He holds an MDiv and a master's degree in counseling psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and completed post-graduate training under Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at The Allender Center.

What the Bible Teaches About Sexual Purity in a Confused Culture Show: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Author: Dave Jenkins Date: March 5, 2026 Show Summary Question: What does the Bible teach about sexual purity in a confused culture? In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins answers an urgent question for our time: what does Scripture teach about sexual purity when the culture is constantly redefining sexuality and calling purity outdated or unloving? God's Word does not shift with the times. God's design is good, intentional, and for our flourishing. Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. But God's Word gives clarity, hope, and direction, and Christ offers real forgiveness and lasting renewal. Listen Watch --> Key Scriptures Genesis 1:27 Genesis 2:24 Ephesians 5:25–32 Matthew 5:27–28 Romans 12:2 Galatians 5:16 1 John 1:9 Hebrews 10:24–25 Psalm 51:10 Episode Highlights God created humanity male and female—sexual identity is received from God, not invented (Genesis 1:27). God designed sexuality for covenant marriage—exclusive, permanent, and worshipful (Genesis 2:24). Purity is not only behavior—it begins in the heart (Matthew 5:27–28). Temptation lies and sin overpromises—but only Christ satisfies. Four biblical strategies to pursue purity through Word, Spirit, repentance, and community. Full Article God's Word Does Not Shift with Culture We live in a world where the meaning of sexuality is constantly shifting, where purity is labeled outdated, and where boundaries are rejected. But God's Word does not shift with our culture. God's design is good. It is intentional, and it is for our flourishing. Sexual Sin Is a Heart Issue Sexual sin is not merely a cultural issue—it is a heart issue. It affects our conscience, our relationships, our work, and our walk with Christ. And many today struggle in silence—trapped, ashamed, numb, or confused. But the Word of God gives clarity, hope, and direction. God's Design for Sexuality and Identity Genesis 1:27 teaches that God created man in His own image—male and female He created them. Sexual identity is not invented; it is received from God as part of His created order. Genesis 2:24 adds that a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. God designed sexuality to be covenant-based, exclusive, permanent, life-giving, and worshipful—because marriage reflects Christ and His church (Ephesians 5:25–32). Marriage is not merely relational; it is deeply theological. Purity Begins in the Heart Sexual purity is not only avoiding sinful behavior—it is devotion to Christ in body and heart. Jesus teaches in Matthew 5:27–28 that lust is adultery of the heart. Purity begins inwardly and works outward into obedience, shaping thoughts, desires, intentions, and behaviors. Scripture uses the category of sexual immorality to describe any sexual expression outside the covenant of marriage. This includes pornography, lust, fornication, adultery, sexual fantasy, and anything that distorts God's design. Purity is not simply avoiding sin—it is walking in holiness. Why We Need Biblical Clarity in the Battle The world normalizes impurity, our sinful nature is drawn to it, and the enemy tempts us with false promises. Temptation lies, and sin overpromises but never satisfies. Only Christ gives true peace, joy, and fulfillment. We do not fight in our own strength—we fight with the truth of God's Word. Four Biblical Strategies for Pursuing Purity Renew your mind with the Word of God (Romans 12:2). Purity begins with a renewed way of thinking—thinking God's thoughts after Him. Walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Purity is not achieved through willpower, but through dependence on the Spirit of God. Confess and repent quickly (1 John 1:9). Confession is not defeat—it is the path to restoration and cleansing. Pursue accountability and community (Hebrews 10:24–25). Isolation fuels temptation, but life in the local church strengthens obedience. Hope for the Guilty and Ashamed Maybe you feel guilty, convicted, discouraged, or ashamed. Hear this clearly: God does not shame His children. He restores them. Psalm 51:10 says, “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” God specializes in redemption—He washes, renews, restores, strengthens, and changes desires. Christ Is Better Sexual purity is not just saying no to sin—it is saying yes to Christ, because Christ is better. Christ satisfies, Christ renews, and Christ heals. Takeaways & Reflection Questions Where have you allowed cultural assumptions to shape your thinking more than Scripture? In what ways do you see temptation promising comfort or satisfaction that only Christ can give? What practical step can you take today to renew your mind with God's Word (Romans 12:2)? Who in your local church can you invite into honest accountability and prayer? If you're carrying shame, how does Psalm 51:10 reframe your hope in God's restoring grace?

Tom and Erin welcome Dr. Mark Yarhouse and Dr. Julia Sadusky, co-authors of Emerging Sexual Identities. We dive into sexual identity language and the reality that Gen Z is identifying in more diverse, specific ways than any previous generation. Mark and Julia explain the concept of residual, dominant, and emergent taxonomies for sexual identity language, such as “homosexual,” “gay,” and “greysexual,” respectively. We also learn about the coining of the term “heterosexual,” the nonjudgmental merits of queer theory, and how people are holding faith and sexuality together and separately. How do we as a community integrate the two in a healthy way? Stay tuned for the end of the episode as Tom and Erin debrief their conversation with Mark and Julia. They also give updates on our ministry's current funding status and the future of the YOFcast, as well as the other shows on our YOF Podcast Network!

What if the greatest threat to Christianity in America isn't persecution — but distraction?In this video, we explore a powerful thought experiment: If Satan wanted to turn Americans away from Jesus, how would he do it?Not through banning churches.Not through burning Bibles.But through busyness, comfort theology, political tribalism, cultural embarrassment, and shifting the focus away from the resurrection.This is a wake-up call for Christians and a serious challenge for skeptics.Because if Jesus really rose from the dead — that changes everything.

Lust is sexual desire that can only be satisfied outside of God's good design. Instead of honoring others, lust objectifies and uses them. The gospel sets us free from this enslaving vice and empowers us to pursue God's vision of life and love.
In this final installment on relational wounding, Lauren and Trey explore the unspoken journey of returning to sex after conflict. They discuss navigating the transition from protective isolation to physical connection, proving that repair is as physiological as it is emotional.Lauren introduces Betty Martin's "Base Camp" framework; the internal state required for pleasure after trauma. Facing a "two-choice dilemma," she reflects on choosing restoration over the righteousness of suffering and identifies the three requirements needed to move forward.The couple details their slow road back, starting with non-sexual, comforting touch. Using the Three Minute Game and "May I?" requests, they re-established a flow of energy. Lauren shares the raw reality of their first kiss post-wounding, describing it as a "drawbridge" moment that triggered a vital emotional release.They dive into their first sexual encounter, which Lauren intentionally centered on her own pleasure. She describes her "crying orgasm"; a somatic cleanse of rage and grief. By asking Trey to withhold his orgasm, she protected herself from the "shadow side of taking," ensuring the experience restored her agency rather than deepening the wound.Repair is rarely linear. From Lauren testing Trey's defensiveness to his commitment to over-communication, they model staying present when things feel abrasive. They stress not "brushing things under the rug" just because sex has returned, keeping accountability firm.Lauren reflects on her forged "warrior queen" energy, viewing pleasure as the ultimate antidote to pain. This episode is a testament to how partnerships can emerge more differentiated and authentically connected after facing the fire.Are you navigating the journey back to intimacy after a hurt?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.

Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset asChrist Jesus:Touch has LIFE-GIVING power.Song of Solomon 7:7-8 MSG “Your beauty, within and without, is absolute, dear lover, close companion. You are tall and supple, like the palm tree, and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates. I say, “I'm going to climb that palm tree! I'm going to caress its fruit!” Oh yes! Your breasts will be clusters of sweet fruit to me,1. Sex is GOOD but God created it with BOUNDARIES for your benefit.2. The BIOLOGY behind the theology of sex. DOPAMIN VASOPRESSIN OXYTOCIN1 Corinthians 6:16–18 MSG There's more to sex than mere skin on skin. Sex is as much spiritual mystery as physical fact. As written in Scripture, ‘The two become one.' Since we want to become spiritually one with the Master, we must not pursue the kind of sex that avoids commitment and intimacy, leaving us more lonely than ever— the kind of sex that can never ‘become one.' There is a sense in which sexual sins are different from all others. In sexual sin we violate the sacredness of our own bodies, these bodies that were made for God-given and God-modeled love…3. The PRACTICAL theology of GREAT sex in marriage.1 Corinthians 7:1–5 MSG Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, you asked, ‘Is it a good thing to have sexual relations?' Certainly — but only within a certain context. It's good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. Sexual drives are strong, but marriage is strong enough to contain them and provide for a balanced and fulfilling sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality — the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband.Marriage is not a place to stand up for your rights. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree, and if it is for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again.Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it.1. Sex is only designed for the CONTEXT OF MARRIAGE.2. Abstaining from sex in marriage is NOT GOOD.#1 Conflict with sex is FREQUENCY.3. Sex needs to be a place of MUTUALITY.Men tend to be like MICROWAVES. Women tend to be likeCROCKPOTS.Women need NON-SEXUAL affection to be turned on.Men need to FEEL WANTED to be fulfilled emotionally and sexually.4. Keep TALKING and GROWING to avoid temptation.It takes a LOT MORE than sex to have a strong marriage. But it's nearly IMPOSSIBLE to have a strong marriage WITHOUT IT.SINGLES:To have the best sex in marriage commit to abstain outside of it.MARRIED:“What are some things I can do that help you get in the mood?”“What is your ideal frequency on a weekly basis?” Agree on a range.

On Today's Show: Dennis explores the complexities of marriage and relationships. He discusses the reasons behind infidelity, arguing that women often seek love and connection when troubled at home, while men may be driven by sex or weakness. Dennis shares personal anecdotes and philosophical insights, questioning the notion that infidelity is always a deal-breaker. He also delves into the concept of "unholy" behaviors, suggesting that even good people can have flaws, and that compassion and understanding are key to navigating life's challenges.

Dr Dani Sulikowski is an evolutionary psychologist, professor, and researcher. Female intrasexual competition is more ruthless than most people realize.

If you love your partner but your sexual intimacy is gone… you're not hopeless. You're normal. Let's talk about sex, intimacy, and the real skills that rebuild sexual connection in long-term love. Because emotional intimacy doesn't automatically create desire, and you can deepen intimacy on purpose. If you've ever wondered, “Why don't I want sex anymore?” or felt the quiet ache of a lack of intimacy in marriage, you're not alone. Many couples care deeply about each other. They function well as teammates. And yet when it comes to intimacy in marriage, something feels distant or flat. Maybe you're in a marriage without intimacy and wondering how to improve sex life without forcing it. Maybe you're trying to figure out how to increase sexual desire, especially if your drive has faded. Or maybe you're the partner feeling rejected and unsure how to reconnect. The truth is that improving intimacy in marriage isn't about waiting for spontaneous chemistry to return. Sexual desire shifts in long-term relationships. Stress, exhaustion, resentment, hormonal changes, and the mental load of adult life all impact connection. When there is no intimacy in marriage, it often reflects burnout and disconnection, not incompatibility. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Nicole McNichols, an internationally renowned human sexuality professor, author, and speaker whose course The Diversity of Human Sexuality is the most popular in the history of the University of Washington, enrolling over 4,000 students annually. Together, we unpack how to improve sexual intimacy using research-backed tools. We talk about how pleasure fuels desire, how to increase sexual desire in female partners and anyone experiencing low drive, and why improving intimacy in marriage requires intention, not magic. You'll learn how to improve sex life through small shifts in novelty, playfulness, and communication that make connection feel natural again. We also address resentment. If emotional safety has eroded over time, rebuilding sexual intimacy may need to start with repairing the friendship first. When couples strengthen communication and physical intimacy together, relationships often begin to feel alive again.
