Whiskey Sex Talk

If you’re in a relationship, we can all agree that connection is the force that brought you together. By what happens when that synergy, emotional intimacy and unapologetic, passionate sex goes missing, to the point we feel frustrated and lost? Or you might be having the same fights over and over, without a real conclusion. To the point, that it feels like we are going through the motions instead of leveling up.  It could be that the sex isn’t exciting and bringing you closer together. Maybe you don’t orgasm during sex, or you’re rarely having sex at all. Some begin to wonder why your relationship looks so different from what you dreamed of, and whether it’s even worth it. And that thought is upsetting, because you formed your relationship for a reason. 

On this weeks episode, we talk about The Craft of Intimate Coupledom with Ken Blackman, a former Apple software engineer turned international sex and intimacy educator and relationship coach, Ken is in his 24th year helping couples co-create a thriving, fulfilling life partnership and a gourmet sex life. His work has garnered mentions in Business Insider, Playboy, Huffpost, BBC, Tim Ferriss' 4-Hour work week, Cosmopolitan, AskMen, and much much more. Ken's powerful, unapologetic break from conventional relationship advice is shifting the world conversation around love and committed coupledom.

Studies show that attractive people are more likely to be interviewed, hired, and more likely to receive promotions.

The hashtag #prettyprivilege has 250+ million views on TikTok, so it’s safe to say society is aware of the concept, but why aren't we talking about it?

On this weeks episode we discuss, Pretty Privilege: The good the bad and the ugly.

Tantra is an ancient Indian practice that dates back more than 5,000 years. In Sanskrit, the word tantra means woven together. People who practice Buddhist and Hindu meditation may also practice tantric sex as a way to “weave” the physical with the spiritual.

This practice brings together spirituality and sexuality and emphasizes the importance of intimacy during a sexual experience.

However, tantra isn’t just about sexual pleasure. It’s more about celebrating your body and feeling heightened sensuality. The practice intertwines spirituality, sexuality, and a state of mindfulness. It encourages a sensual experience that may be experienced alone or with a partner.

The goal of tantric sex is to achieve spiritual or energetic contact during a sensual experience. This practice is slow and the aim is not always to achieve orgasm. Instead, it’s about feeling a connection either to your partner or to yourself that’s both intense and enlightened. It includes breathing, sounds, and movements to activate sexual energy.

Vajra Fatih is Tantra coach that  helps clients overcome low sexual self-esteem through the practice of Tantric sexuality - a practice that aims to open up the body's energy channels while exploring different forms of pleasure.

On this week’s episode we will discuss the basics to Tantric Sex.
