#103 Shibari, Sex Coaching and Social Media (with Yuval Mann)
On this episode of #mensexpleasure, I welcome back Yuval Mann. Yuval is the founder of the Sensual Alchemy School of Integrated Sexuality, his personal sex and relationship coaching business which teaches people how to have epic sex and legendary love. During his twenties, Yuval carried a bag full of trauma, shame, and guilt around his sexuality and relating to women due to his upbringing in an extreme Jewish Orthodox community. After leaving that community, Yuval embarked on a long journey of discovery into letting go of that shame, the blockage, and everything that was holding him back from making love with himself, women, and the world. Yuval and I chat about his experiences with Shibari - also known as Japanese rope bondage - and what he has learned about communication, surrender, and dominance from these experiences. We also talk about sex coaching and educating in general and how this work is received on social media as well as the barriers for sexuality professionals online.
Key points:
Yuval reintroduces himself
Venturing into Shibari
The practice of rope bondage
Submission and surrender
Dominance and assertiveness
Focussing on coaching
Translating this work online
Barriers for sexuality professionals

#100 Learning How To Take Pleasure (with Dr. Betty Martin)
On this episode of the #mensexpleasure podcast, I chat again with Dr. Betty Martin. Betty has had her hands on people professionally for over 40 years, first as a Chiropractor and upon retiring from that practice, as a certified Surrogate Partner, Sacred Intimate, and Somatic Sex Educator. Her explorations in somatic-based therapy and practices informed her creation of the framework, The Wheel of Consent®. As part of her work with the School of Consent, Betty travels around the world teaching practitioners how to create empowered agreements in their client sessions, in her highly sought-after training “Like A Pro: The Wheel of Consent for Practitioners.” Originally developed as an offering to teach much-needed consent skills to sex workers and touch providers, this training is now attended by somatic therapists, massage therapists, sexuality educators, medical and health care workers, activists, human resources folks and the spectrum of touch-based professional providers – all of whom complete the training with a clear understanding of how consent starts with our own bodies, and then expands outwards into all forms of human relating, with or without touch. Betty and I dive deeper into her Wheel of Consent framework, specifically regarding the observations she has made about men over the years she has done this work. We speak about some practical ways for men to explore particular quadrants of the Wheel of Consent.
Key points:
Betty re-introduces herself
Betty’s observations about men
The Wheel of Consent quadrants
The “Taking” quadrant
Men’s anxiety around taking pleasure
Crossing boundaries vs having integrity
The “Allowing” quadrant
Surrender and submission
Tips for men to learn how to take

#97 Relationship Dynamics: From Polyamory to Swinging (with Dee McDonald)
On today’s episode of #mensexpleasure, I chat with Dee McDonald. Dee is a psychotherapist, relationship counsellor, sexual empowerment coach, researcher, and writer on non-monogamies and recreational sex. Her knowledge is drawn from a fusion of conventional and less established sources. She has long known and has proudly sought the practical experience of some of her sex worker friends in understanding some of the hidden depths of human sexuality. Dee has always viewed sex as a holistic experience and finds that the misperception of what sex is, and increasing dependence on genital sex is a common reason many people choose to visit a sex therapist. She understands sex as both Recreational and Relational. Having the potential to both provide the more commonly acceptable purposes of procreation and bonding whilst retaining the erotic elements usually associated with initial attraction. Sex as play seems to have been rather let down by the stresses and romantic requirements of modern society and Dee’s passion is in rekindling, where possible, the flames of desire. The two of us talk about non-monogamy, non-traditional relationships, polyamory, and swinging. We discuss Dee’s work with couples who are interested in polyamory and the ways she helps them navigate this.
Key Points:
- Dee shares about her work
- Communication is key
- Polyamory and consent
- When one partner is interested in polyamory
- Non-monogamous relationships
- Jealousy and reassurance
- Meeting your needs
- Talking to your kids about your relationship
- Swinging, stigma, and sex parties
