Bringing balance to men’s inner warrior and lover energies.

If a sword is too hard, it becomes brittle and it shatters. Too soft, and the sword bends in half. The samurai sword is the perfect combination of hard and soft metals.

In the same way, in order for a man to have an incredibly fulfilling relationship and amazing sex, he needs to learn to find that balance of hard and soft inside himself. As a result, he becomes magnetically attractive as the perfect balance of a lover and a warrior.

This show uses several modalities and topics to help men cultivate that inner balance, in order to get the relationship and sex life they desire.

    EP163: Double Dad Drama - Father Wound EP 4/5

    In this series of interviews, I talk to men who have healed their, previously horrible, relationship to their father.
     
    Children who grow up without fathers tend to have more mental health issues, more rates of suicide, more issues in school (higher drop out rates), and a whole slew of other issues.
     

    It's undebatable the importance of our fathers. Unfortunately, many men have either grown up with an abusive or absent father. Naturally, this creates distance between them and their dad, along with resentment, distrust, anger and sadness.
     
    I wanted to speak with men who had gone through their pain, and healed their relationships with their fathers. 
     
    This episode shares the story of Dave Weale. His biological dad left when he was a child, and his step-father was his dad. Dave, a men's coach in Vancouver, talks about how he met his biological father. He also shares how his relationship with his step-father has improved over the years. 
     
    If you'd like to reach out to Dave, you can find him on Facebook, and that's where you can find his show about psychedelics!

    This episode shares the story of a man, Sam Gray, who had a distant relationship with his dad, even though his father was home. Counterintuitively, even though he lived with his dad, his relationship was quite distant.

    EP159: Warrior VS Lover, King VS Magician

    EP159: Warrior VS Lover, King VS Magician

    This episode is all about the King, Warrior, Magician, Lover archetypes. Every man has a King in him. And a Warrior, and a Magician and a Lover.
    If one of these "energies" is being neglected, it will sabotage your life, perhaps through procrastination on work projects. Or avoidance of hard conversations or a lot of relationship breakups. 
    When you understand which of your archetypes is being neglected, you can bring yourself back to balance and into your natural power.
    If you enjoy deep psychological work, Jungian psychology, and getting into what makes each of us tick as men, then this is up your alley.

More Than Just The Tip

I have been listening to Modern Sex Talk podcast, now The Intimate Lifestyle, since mid-2016. I have found the podcasts to be interesting, informative, and entertaining - three things I demand if a podcast is to hold my attention for long. Ryan is a good host and interviewer, and he always finds interesting people to interview. This podcast is on my short list.

On a related note, I purchased the “A Man’s Guide to Female Orgasm” mid-last year, and my wife LOVES the skills and techniques I’ve learned from it. Highly recommended.

Very Heteronormative & Gender Binary Focused, but these are IMPORTANT TOPICS! :D

I love a lot of the topics that they cover, and the over all body positive, sex positive work they're doing, but I feel like most, if not all of the podcasts are just SO heteronormative, and focus a lot on describing things in gender binary terms, for example, saying OPPOSITE SEX. There's no OPPOSITE SEX, as there are many different sexes (gender is similar, it's a spectrum). It's just kinda ignorant for what I feel they're trying to accomplish as an all inclusive sex positive podcast.

Other than that, it's a fantastic podcast. Ryan brings, time and time again, awesome, world-class sex educators in to talk about sex tips, intimacy advice, and enriching personal stories.
This podcast has helped me become a better, more sexual me, a more aware lover, and a healthier/happier human.
