Daoist Tonic Herbs for Better Sex - with Mason Taylor of Superfeast

Mushrooms and plants can be our allies to help us thrive in a society that doesn’t support optimal health. The philosophy and magic of Daoist tonic herbalism is here to help - with herbs for better sex, and herbs for a better life in general. This conversation is more of a casual hang out and discussion of life and sex, and I want to give you that heads up in case you’re coming here in search of a clearly outlined educational lecture on the topic of herbs for better sex. It’s not that… even though we do hit that topic really well in the last quarter of the episode. :)Mason Taylor is the founder of Superfeast, an international company (with a branch in the USA) that helps bring high-quality tonic herbs to people around the world.

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.-TaylorCONNECT WITH TAYLOR:FREE 7-Day Semen Retention ChallengeFREE Ejaculation Control GuideThe Orgasmic Mastery CourseTaylor’s InstagramTaylor’s Youtube ChannelTaylor’s WebsiteCONNECT WITH JON HANDELMAN:Jon’s WebsiteSupport the show

How to Unlock Your Wild, Primal, Sexual Self - with Lion Galban

In this episode, Lion and I explore how to be fully embodied, and why this is THE key to unlocking your wild, primal, sexual self. Unlocking this part of yourself allows you to create the kinds of relationships and sexual experiences you truly desire, in a safe way that builds connection and trust. You can’t just think your way into sexual and relationship success though, and this is where most people get stuck. You have to practice embodying it, and understand what that actually means.IN THIS EPISODE…What does embodiment actually mean?How and why embodiment is the key to unlocking your wild, primal, sexual selfHow to open your heart, and why you need to feel your emotions fullyWhy learning have non-ejaculatory orgasms can save your relationshipINTRODUCING LION GALBANI met Lion Galban in Thailand a few years ago, and was immediately inspired and triggered by him at the same time. The way he moved on the dance floor with multiple women blew my mind, and I realized that I was actually jealous of the freedom he appeared to have. On that dance floor, he was embodied in a way that I’ve RARELY seen in any other man.Without putting him on a pedestal, I decided I wanted to learn about this aspect of being alive from him… So I went to one of his embodiment/dance workshops back when we were both living in Thailand. It was kind of like a dance-oriented play party. And if you’ve never heard of the term play party before, it usually refers to a kind of gathering where different people can explore being sensual and sexual with each other, within the context of a certain set of agreements to make the space as safe as possible. (If you want me to make a podcast episode about play parties, let me know).If you look at Lion’s Instagram, you’ll see lots of videos of him moving in wild ways, and you might even see some things that trigger you. It’s worth looking at - pun intended. If you have any questions about today’s episode, please feel free to reach out to Lion and/or myself. We’re both here in service of your life.EPISODE TIMES & TOPICS7:00 – My first impression of Lion (when I got triggered)13:57 – What does embodiment mean?26:09 – Energetic attraction vs sexual attraction30:57 – What does “allow her to feel your heart” mean?37:40 – How to work with your emotions in an intelligent way40:49 – Why feeling your feelings can improve your entire life43:57 – How to honor and be your unique, primal, sexual self46:30 – How to navigate sexual shame around desires54:53 – Why learning to have an orgasm without ejaculation can save a relationshipCONNECT WITH LIONLion’s WebsiteLion’s InstagramLion’s Facebook PageCONNECT WITH TAYLORTaylor’s WebsiteTaylor’s InstagramTaylor’s Youtube ChannelThe Orgasmic Mastery CourseSupport the show
