If you've been following The Intimate Lifestyle, you’d know that I've been MIA on the podcast scene for a bit as I decided to focus on other aspects of the brand. However, this episode is just too good to pass up on, and so here I am talking about passion, sex and wellness with Susan Bratton. Susan Bratton is at the forefront of a movement in sex and relationships. Alongside her husband, she is the CEO and co-founder of Personal Life Media. Through this initiative she has produced numerous online courses and publications including the Amazon best-seller Sexual Soulmates: The 6 Essentials For Connected Sex. An expert in this arena, she’s helped millions of people ignite and rekindle the passion in their sex lives and relationships. It’s something different having a woman’s point of view talking about penile health. The topics Susan and I covered run the gamut, from thrusting techniques, freezies, how heart disease starts in the penis, and the life changing magic of lickin’ and dickin’. Other points we’ve chat

Authenticity and honesty are concepts that have been iterated time and again in the show and from the guests as one of the key components of successful relationships and meaningful life.   This time around, we have the main proponent of radical honesty to speak about what he’s been advocating and teaching for the last 25 years.   Brad Blanton is a psychotherapist, author, workshop leader, speaker, and the founder of Radical Honesty Enterprises. His team conducts more than a hundred workshops per year, plus coachings and meetup groups to share with the world how radical honesty can positively impact lives.   Brad joins me as this episode’s guest as we talk about his bestselling book Radical Honesty -- a book that changed my life immensely. Some might think that radical honesty can result in judging and hurting people, but what Brad offers is a genuine and honest expression that allows you to transform your life and your relationships.   Brad unpacks the objectives as well as consequences of practicing radical

Decoding other people’s intentions isn’t always the easiest task. Plus, there always seems to be a disconnect when it comes to men and women understanding each other's needs. The disconnect becomes apparent when individuals are in a relationship and their deficiencies in providing what the other needs become the root of disagreements.   The Intimate Lifestyle invited this week’s guest, John Wineland, to shed some light on this matter. John is an LA-based men's group facilitator, author, speaker and teacher who guides men, women, couples, and groups in the field of spiritual intimacy and yogic sexuality so they may deepen their relationships and connections.   I watched one talk John gave about what men crave and I was immediately hooked to the message he’s sending out to the world. This conversation was mind-blowing for me and I'm excited to share it with you. I must warn you though, expect a lot of realizations and incredible insights that might possibly change your life and how you show up to the world from

Now, when I first saw a podcast interview that today’s guest had been a part of entitled ‘Fucking a Man’s Heart Open’, I automatically wondered what it meant.   We have EJ Love, the Love Priestess on today’s show to share her knowledge as a love, relationship, and sex coach. She helps her clients figure out their relationships and lives by focusing on self-love, communication, soul connection, and spiritual rituals.   Before we go directly to this insightful episode, here’s an exclusive offer for The Intimate Lifestyle followers.

Women complain that it's always the creeps and arrogant jerks who approach them. Good men, on the other hand, complain that women always choose these jerks over them. There's an apparent disconnect in this equation that needs to be addressed, and today's podcast guest might be the key to bridge that gap.   Diana Mandell is a psychotherapist, working as a relationship coach for the last 6 years. She helps men, women, and couples find and maintain healthy and sustainable relationships. Diana and her work have been featured in various international publications including Martha Stuart Weddings, New York Post, and Forbes.   But before we go to the meat of the conversation, I would like to remind you of this amazing deal from adamandeve.com where listeners of the Intimate Lifestyle get 50% OFF on any one item and FREE SHIPPING.

This week’s guest is an expert that we’ve previously had in the show. His name – Phil Mistlberger. Phil is a transpersonal therapist for more than 30 years. His workshops on personal growth, shadow work, and depth psychology were a treasure trove of knowledge for me. I want to share the lessons I’ve acquired through his guidance to the Intimate Lifestyle listeners and so I’ve brought him back to the show.   Phil joins us to share his insights and expertise on a subject that people usually sweep under the rug. More recently though, people have been expressing this emotion so openly for everyone to see via social media. I’m talking about Anger.   Phil talks about how this seemingly primal reaction can serve as your gateway into understanding complex human behavior and emotions.  Some specifics that Phil and I touched on in this truly informative episode are: Why I am scared of talking to Phil about anger, what's the deal with fearing anger. (03:55) What's a green knight, who's the green knight in our lives, an

Stef Sifandos is a relational alchemist, international speaker, and author. Stef is also a co-founder of a startup that offers content related to personal growth. Now, if the concept of relational alchemy threw you off somewhat, don't you worry as this is exactly what we have decided to unpack on this episode for the listeners.   Stef and I enjoyed this conversation as we chatted about belief systems, the power of language, handling pain and creating positivity out of it. Some of the specific areas we talked about are: Bali and the startup that he’s been involved in. (02:24) The services he offers via StefSifandos.com providing people a space to gain clarity, transform their lives and improve their relationships. (09:08) What a

When you think of sex parties, you might picture one of those rowdy college parties with overflowing alcohol and drugs. Where people are having intoxicated sex and wakes up the next day without any memory of what happened last night.   Today's guest hosts sex parties. The parties that Kim/Cleopatra calls 'play parties' is the complete opposite of the party that was described earlier though. It is so classy, it starts with conversations over wine and cheese, posh accents are optional. I recently became a part of one of her invite-only sex party, and if there's one word to describe it, it was amazing. Or maybe epic.   I invited her to the podcast so we can talk about everything that happens in her sex parties, how she organizes them, the interaction between the participants, and how to get invited. Some of the things discussed in our conversation are:   A little backstory on our lives that led us to Vancouver and the path we chose. (04:06) People's reactions, and double-standards, when she talks about her play

This conversation is so mind-blowing that I found myself at a loss for words at some points. A treasure trove of information and insights on the human psychology and sexuality awaits you as we have no less than Farzana Jaffer Jeraj to scratch the surface of this iceberg.   Farzana Jaffer Jeraj is a motivational speaker, coach, hypnosis trainer and best-selling author, among the many other hats she put on. Her career spans more than 20 years with a mission to help people realize their potential and achieve their goals.   Today, we talk about subconscious sexual communication, and if the term alone discombobulates you, Farzana aims to shed light on the subject. We delved into the link of our upbringing

  Herpes is a condition transmitted via skin-to-skin contact. It affects mucosal surfaces like the mouth and around the genitals, and skin in other parts of the body. For most people, however, it is viewed as nothing but a sexually transmitted infection brought about by unprotected sex and promiscuity – and this got to change.   To help us veer away from this stigma and understand the condition more, I invited Laureen Herve Dupenher to the podcast. Laureen has herpes and she unpacks the truth about the condition, living with it, and all its details through her YouTube Channel Laureen HD.     She joins the podcast to provide an overview of the basics and some hot topics. So, listen up to this episode and learn about: Her YouTube channel and the types of content she produces. (02:29) The basics of herpes transmission and susceptibility. (04:12) The best type of protection against herpes. (09:36) Discerning between actual symptoms and the paranoia of the symptoms and transmission. (12:49) Being diagnosed with h

Bryan Stacy is back on the show. For those who did not catch my first interview with him, it is available here.  In that episode, we talked about Biem, an app Bryan co-founded with the goal of better sexual health, safer sex, and sex-positivity.   This time around, Bryan and I will talk about his testicle – yes, singular. You see, he had testicular cancer and had one of his testicles removed – which is why we're using the singular form of the noun. Bryan will recount the events leading to his testicular cancer diagnoses, what happened during his bout with the affliction, getting over this seemingly traumatic phase, and lessons learned.   It was an awesome and informative conversation that we shared where we covered topics such as:   The efficiency and redundancy of our bodily organs and functions. (02:12) Why he waited three months before going to the doctor despite symptoms. (03:18) Chlamydia, treating it, and its complications. (04:38) Self-diagnosing and the texture of a cancer-inflicted testicle. (07:40
