The reason your marriage is sexless has nothing to do with sex. If you think a lack of intimacy in your relationship is a sex problem, I need you to hear this — it's almost never about the bedroom.In this episode, I break down emotional availability: what it really means, why so many good, hardworking, faithful men struggle with it, and how childhood shapes the way we handle conflict as adults. I explain the biology behind emotional shutdown, walk through attachment styles — secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant — and show why emotional safety is the real path to physical intimacy for most women. Then I give you five practical shifts to become more emotionally reachable, plus real scripts you can use tonight.This isn't about blame. It's about understanding the blueprint you were handed — so you can build something better.Join the waitlist for my upcoming coaching program for midlife men: https://taboototruth.wixforms.com/f/7424226439106397420In This Episode:0:00 - Cold Open: "It's Almost Never About the Bedroom"0:20 - Welcome to Taboo to Truth1:05 - The Emotionally Unavailable Man: What Today's Episode Covers2:15 - "He's a Great Guy, But I Can't Get Close to Him"3:45 - What Emotional Availability Actually Means5:30 - Real Examples: What He Says vs. What She Hears7:15 - How Boys Are Taught to Suppress Emotion9:15 - The Biology of Shutdown: Flooding, Adrenaline & the Amygdala11:00 - What Are You Really Protecting?12:00 - Attachment Styles: Secure, Anxious, Avoidant & Fearful-Avoidant15:30 - Your Brain Can Change: Neuroplasticity Explained16:45 - Why Sexless Marriages Are Rarely About Sex19:00 - The 5 Shifts to Become Emotionally Available21:15 - Real Scripts: What to Say Instead22:10 - The Client Story: "I Thought I Had a Sex Problem"22:35 - Final Thoughts & Coaching WaitlistWant a deeper look?

Hot-button issues dominating our culture can make speaking out feel taboo. Hiding from hard conversations won't work. On this episode of the Decisions Podcast, Mike Novotny discusses his newest book, Taboo: Topics Christians Should be Talking About but Don't, and equips listeners to have hard conversations in a redemptive way.   In Taboo, author Mike Novotny covers deeply personal, vulnerable, and emotional topics, handling them with grace and respect. It's the ultimate resource for Christians looking to create change and deal with struggles in their own lives. God's Word gives us clarity, healing, and hope. Taboo is a must-read for Christians looking for a biblically based resource to modern questions. Not talking is not helping! It's time for believers to step gracefully into the taboo and share God's truth with a world in need.  Mike is the lead speaker for Time of Grace, a global media ministry that is committed to ensuring that God's grace—His love, glory, and power—is accessible around the world

He draws a hard line between that and cancel culture, which he says punishes disagreement instead of actual hatred.Wilk and Erez dig into how norms actually change, why celebrating political violence deserves real cost, and how a single memo from a Wall Street investor got a group of Harvard students to retract a petition within three days.

Karen Bigman's path to becoming a menopause sex educator is one of the most unexpectedly compelling origin stories we've heard on this podcast. She started in technology. She raised children. She worked in restaurants. And then, in her early 50s, newly separated after a 25-year marriage and struggling to orgasm with a new partner, she found her way to a sexual medicine practice run by Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus, where a nurse practitioner handed her a little blue bullet vibrator, suggested she try it in the next room, and Karen came back five minutes later saying "you just changed my life". That moment is the seed of everything Karen has built since. Her platform, Taboo to Truth, is dedicated to dismantling the two most pervasive myths she encounters in her work: that sex is something people stop having at a certain age, and that it's a topic too taboo to discuss openly. Her course, Men Meet Menopause, is built on the radical premise that male partners, often the most confused and the most shut out from the conversation, deserve their own education, their own language, and their own practical tools for showing up during one of the most significant transitions their partner will experience. In this episode, Karen joins Jenni and Daniel for a conversation that covers a remarkable amount of ground with warmth, humor, and genuine clinical depth. They dig into why menopause remains under-discussed even in 2026, the lingering shadow of the Women's Health Initiative, the male reluctance to name what they're observing, the shame women carry about bodies that are changing in ways they didn't expect. Daniel introduces the compassion sandwich, leading with care rather than observation, as the reframe that changes how every difficult conversation lands. Karen talks about the five pillars underlying sexual disconnection in midlife couples, and what it looks like when one of them wobbles. Jenni brings in the Cheesecake of Pleasure- her clinical framework for expanding a couple's repertoire beyond intercourse as the only available flavor, and the conversation around grief, creativity, and what it means to look forward to something bigger than what you're losing becomes one of the richest exchanges of the season. Karen's concept of sex snacks sits beautifully alongside it. Both frameworks point to the same clinical truth: when intercourse is temporarily or permanently off the table, the answer is not resignation. It's creativity. It's building a palette of pleasure that belongs to this season rather than mourning the one that's passed. Karen closes with the line that may be the most important thing in the episode: don't give up. Don't accept the myth that this is done. Don't believe that sex is only for young people or for other people or for the version of your relationship that existed before all of this. The research shows that women over 60 can have the best sex of their lives if they want. The invitation: for women navigating menopause and for the partners who love them, is to join the journey together and find out what's on the other side.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

About Nicole Nicole Johnston’s Taboo Topics is an invitation to bring into the light the conversations women have often been conditioned to keep hidden. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership and executive coaching, Nicole argues that many of the barriers women experience at work are not personal shortcomings but cultural patterns that have remained largely unnamed. Rather than encouraging women simply to “lean in” or become more confident, she invites women to understand the invisible systems shaping their experiences and reclaim their voice within them. In This Episode We Discuss: How growing up with educator parents, playing sports, and learning to advocate for herself after losing hearing in one ear shaped Nicole’s leadership journey. Why sports matter for girls and the powerful connection between athletics, confidence, and leadership. Nicole’s path from Division I athlete to leadership roles at Procter & Gamble, including 19 moves and international experiences. The car accident that became a wake-up call and ultimately led her toward coaching and developing others. We Explore: Why perfectionism can feel like a “cozy blanket” and how resilience helps women take risks and grow. The importance of giving ourselves permission instead of waiting for it from others. Emotional labor, invisible work, and the unequal distribution of responsibility at home and work. The exhaustion of maintaining a persona and how women can become more intentional with their energy. Why celebrating other women is a powerful alternative to judgment. The “micro cuts” of sexism that women experience throughout their lives and careers. Compensation inequities and why women should always negotiate their salary. Nicole’s Advice for Younger Women: Respect the women who came before you and fought for the opportunities you have today. It’s okay to make mistakes, change directions, and choose a different path. Protect your time and energy early because the expectations you set often become the expectations others hold. This conversation is a thoughtful and practical exploration of the invisible forces shaping women’s lives and a reminder that many of the challenges women experience are cultural patterns to question—not personal failures to fix.

Why is Non-Monogamy Still Taboo?In this segment from our throwback episode with Dr. Joli Hamilton, we dig into why non-monogamy still carries so much stigma — even as more people quietly explore it. Dr. Hamilton, a relationship coach and research psychologist, unpacks the cultural scripts that keep monogamy positioned as the "default" and everything else as a deviation, and why that framing doesn't hold up under scrutiny.We talk through the double standards, the assumptions about jealousy and commitment, and what actually changes when couples give themselves permission to question the rules they inherited. A short but pointed listen for anyone curious about where the taboo comes from — and why it's worth challenging.

In this episode of Taboo To Truth, I sit down with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN — a physical therapist and holistic nurse with over 30 years of experience in pelvic health, and one of the country's leading experts in shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual dysfunction. Stacey breaks down why up to 30% of women may experience vulvodynia (and why that number is likely underreported), how chronic low back pain can actually be rooted in a tight, "upregulated" pelvic floor, and why men are even less likely than women to get evaluated for pelvic floor issues. We dig into the emotional and physical toll of being told "it's all in your head," the fascia's role in referred pain, and how shockwave — a completely external, non-invasive technology originally developed to break up kidney stones — is now accelerating healing for incontinence, painful intercourse, erectile dysfunction, and vaginismus. Stacey also shares an eyebrow-raising pilot finding on shockwave and testosterone. This is part one of a two-part conversation — part two is coming soon.In this episode: 00:00 Shockwave Therapy?!00:45 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:15 Meet Stacey Roberts: 30+ Years in Pelvic & Sexual Health01:45 How Common Is Pelvic Pain & Sexual Dysfunction, Really?03:00 Low Back Pain: Foam Roller Fix or Something Deeper?06:00 Men vs. Women: Why Pelvic Pain Shows Up Differently09:00 Surgery, "It's All in Your Head," and the Repressed Emotion Connection12:30 Pelvic Floor & Sexual Dysfunction: Shoutout to Dr. Lance Frank14:15 The Pudendal Nerve: How Internal Treatment Improves External Sensation16:30 Non-Surgical Treatment Options: Pelvic Floor Therapy, Fascia & Botox19:00 From Kidney Stones to Muscles: The History of Shockwave Therapy20:30 What Shockwave Actually Feels Like (and the Vaginismus Case Study)22:15 Shockwave, Testosterone & Treating Testicular Health23:45 Wrap-Up: Part Two Is Coming — Subscribe & FollowWant a deeper look?

“How long have you been v*g*n?” This is one of the most common icebreakers at animal protection events. It's a baseline assumption, and it mostly holds true: if you're out advocating for animals not to be tortured or abused, realistically these days you are v**n, or close. And it makes for good conversation. It seems fairly safe to assume when you meet strangers. But this assumption is hurting the movement in a way which we don't always notice: someone new comes into the space, has a few conversations, realizes they're surrounded by v**ns, and they have one of two experiences: a) if they are v**n, they feel like they've found their people; or b) otherwise they immediately feel out of place—maybe they're stressing: “uh-oh, I'm realizing everyone else here is v**n, I probably need to be very cautious about what I reveal about myself, do I need to hide?”[1] This makes it hard to interact normally and they're probably on track to silently not returning. Compare this to a slightly different world where the word never comes up—where you just get what you expected, namely participation in an animal-protection movement which you opted into.

(2) The Nuclear Taboo and Russian Forbearance: Secret Nuclear History, the Cuban Missile Crisis Comparison, and the Dangers of Escalation Guests in Londinium, 92 AD: Gaius and Germanicus. In a "parking lot" broadcast, the hosts explore the fragility of nuclear deterrence. Gaius discusses a report revealing that in 2023, China and India persuaded Vladimir Putin not to use tactical nuclear weapons in Kherson. He compares this secrecy to the Cuban Missile Crisis, where the American public was unaware of nuclear-tipped torpedoes and frog missiles. Germanicusargues that Russia's "existential situation" leads to caution rather than impulsiveness, emphasizing that the Russian ethos is profoundly affected by the trauma of the Great Patriotic War, making them "essentially conservative and realistic" regarding apocalypse. He critiques the Biden and Trump administrations for "creeping escalation," warning that the West is acting irresponsibly by taking "Russian forbearance" for granted and "poking the bear" with long-range strike weapons. They conclude that a weaker power feeling existential pressure is the most likely to resort to nuclear weapons as a "desperate last ditch stand." (2)1957 COLD WAR

And how about the Biden coverup?Joe Biden spoke publicly again, and he didn't disappoint.Yet again, Biden proved to be a buffoon.I'm actually surprised Democrats let this guy out. Remember in 2020 they kept him in the basement so they could steal the election. I predict he will have disappear soon. “Where's my granddaughter!?”At issue are roughly 70 hours of audio recordings captured during conversations for Biden's 2017 memoir, Promise Me, Dad. Biden's legal team argued the recordings include deeply personal discussions, including references to the death of his son Beau and should remain private despite becoming part of a federal investigation.In a May statement, Mike Howell, president of The Heritage Foundation's The Oversight Project, said, per Politico, that the “tapes will further prove the massive lie regarding Biden's fitness for office and the fact Biden revealed classified information.”Democrats don't want us to know what we already know.Think about how absurd that sentence is.They spent years insisting Joe Biden was fine. Sharp. Focused. In command. The media treated every obvious cognitive malfunction as if Americans had accidentally wandered into a mass hallucination.Then came the legal fight over the tapes.And that's the confession.Because nobody fights to suppress evidence that vindicates them.If these recordings showed Biden operating like the strategic mastermind Democrats claimed he was, they'd release them with a commemorative soundtrack and a Netflix special. Instead, they lawyered up faster than a mob accountant during tax season.Why?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

She shares the science and story behind Dare to Play, a topical sildenafil cream engineered with proprietary Dermaflex technology to deliver the active ingredient directly to genital tissue, enhancing physical arousal sensations within 10–15 minutes.We cover how Dare to Play compares to existing options like Addyi, Vyleesi, and testosterone — and why none of those address physical arousal the way this does. We also clear up a common misconception: this is not a lubricant. It works from the inside out, enhancing the body's natural lubrication response through increased blood flow.Sabrina walks us through exactly how to get a prescription today — via your own provider or a free telehealth consult— and explains the pricing: $99/tube, 10 doses, roughly $10 per use.

The antidote to a boring sex life isn't trying harder, it's trying something new together — that's what ARYA delivers, a monthly intimacy membership curated by AASECT certified sexologists and shipped right to your door.Take the quiz at arya.fyi and use code: TRUTH15 for 15% off at https://arya.fyi/start?rfsn=8333683.c9f861In this episode, I sit down with Adreena Winters — writer, educator, and one of the most recognized voices in the world of cuckolding — to finally clear up what this dynamic actually is, and what it isn't. Adreena is the author of So You Want to Be a Cuckold and the creator of Cuckold Confessions, and she brings both lived experience and years of coaching couples through this exact terrain.We get into why most people's first reaction to the word "cuckolding" is shame or confusion, and why that reaction is almost always wrong. Adreena breaks down the real difference between a hot wife dynamic and a cuckoldress dynamic, why humiliation is usually a small piece of the puzzle rather than the main event, and why compersion — genuinely enjoying your partner's pleasure — is so often the real engine driving this for men.We talk about how couples actually start exploring this safely: communication first, boundaries second, and why over-controlling the experience can backfire. Adreena walks through the biggest mistakes couples make (hint: it usually starts with who you let into the dynamic), the red flags that signal someone isn't a good third-party candidate, and the warning signs that a couple isn't actually ready for this yet. We also get into the Red Pill and Manosphere comparison — because consent is the dividing line, and it changes everything.If you've ever been curious, confused, or quietly judging something you don't fully understand, this conversation will give you the real picture instead of the porn version.In This Episode:00:00 Intro & Aria.FYI01:15 Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:45 Meet Adreena Winters02:30 Why Cuckolding Is So Misunderstood04:00 Cuckoldress vs. Hot Wife: What's the Real Difference06:30 Is the Bull Part of the Couple's Dynamic?08:15 Who Usually Initiates: Men or Women?10:00 Cutting Queens & Reversed Dynamics12:00 Where to Start: Communication and Boundaries14:30 No, It's Not Always a Threesome16:00 Biggest Mistakes Couples Make18:30 Red Flags When Vetting a Bull20:30 Signs a Couple Isn't Ready Yet23:00 The Porn Fantasy vs. The Reality26:00 Adreena's Own Relationship & Retiring From Porn28:30 Cuckold Confessions: Filming Real Couples30:00 Finding a Bull: Apps, Sites & Communities31:30 Cuckolding vs. The Manosphere & Red Pill32:30 Is Cuckolding Cheating?33:00 Where to Find Adrena & Closing ThoughtsAbout The Guest:Adreena Winters is a content creator, writer, and educator known for her work exploring cuckolding.

Whether you've been cheated on, you've done the cheating, or you've just thought about it (and most of us have), this conversation is for you. I'm breaking down what infidelity actually is, why it shows up so often in midlife, and whether it's ever justified. I get into the messy truth that affairs are rarely about sex — they're about disconnection, unmet needs, and the stories we tell ourselves instead of having hard conversations. I'm not excusing cheating. I am asking you to understand it, because understanding is the first step toward preventing it, surviving it, or having the honest conversation you've been avoiding.In This Episode:00:00 - Sponsor: Aria Intimacy Membership00:48 - Welcome to Taboo to Truth01:10 - Introduction: Talking About Cheating Like Adults01:30 - What Actually Counts as Cheating?02:15 - Why Cheating Happens More in Midlife02:50 - Is Cheating Ever Justified?03:55 - Are We Even Wired for Monogamy?04:40 - Open Relationships vs. Cheating: Where's the Line?05:10 - What to Do If You've Been Cheated On06:05 - How to Prevent Infidelity Before It Happens06:45 - Final Thoughts: Choosing HonestyWant a deeper look?

He was ordained a half-century ago. He remembers when reverence was expected, when the tabernacle was central, when Catholics knew what they believed and why. Then came the changes, and everything flipped.Father Richard Perricone joins John-Henry Westen to chronicle the transformation that has left the Church unrecognizable. Reverence became taboo. The sacred became optional. The priesthood became confused. And the laity, trained for generations to trust their shepherds, were suddenly told that the faith they had received could be rewritten, reimagined, or simply abandoned.Perricone does not blame Vatican II alone. He blames what came after: the systematic dismantling of Catholic identity by men who saw tradition as an obstacle and ambiguity as a virtue. The loss of the Latin Mass. The sidelining of the tabernacle. The confusion over confession. The collapse of religious orders. The silence of bishops who should have spoken.HELP SUPPORT WORK LIKE THIS: https://give.lifesitenews.com/?utm_source=SOCIAL U.S. residents!
