Sex Upgraded

A Wild Night in Asheville... (Personal Story)

This episode is a truly wild personal story that’s still hard to believe it actually happened. I chose sexual abundance over scarcity/anger, and it changed the entire outcome of my night. 

This story really is one of the wildest dating experiences I’ve had. One night in Asheville, I had to decide how I would respond to a stimulus that was potentially very challenging/triggering. Part of my system wanted to get angry, but I took a breath, paused, centered myself, and chose a different option.

The saying “freedom comes in the moment between stimulus and response” refers to the fact that you can always be at choice with how you respond to external stimuli. Instead of reacting with autopilot behavior, you can give yourself freedom by taking a pause after a challenging thing happens. In that pause, you can CHOOSE how to react. Anger might not always be your best option. In this story, I chose something different…

And my choice turned into one of the most surprisingly delightful evenings I’ve had while being a single guy in the dating world. It’s still one of my favorite stories to tell too. I hope it’s thoroughly entertaining for you. :)

As always, if you like this episode, please share it with a friend!

Thank you.
