    In this episode of the Sex and Bacon podcast, Andrew Daniel joins me to talk about sexual polarity, holistic sex, and emotional vulnerability from a man's perspective.

    Andrew helps us navigate important issues on men's perceptions of masculinity, societal expectations of gender roles, and the influence of these elements on personal relationships. He highlights the significance of emotional maturity and self-awareness as key to creating genuine intimacy and having a fulfilling sex life. Andrew suggests that by embracing vulnerability, men can enhance every facet of their life, from relationships to professional success.

  • 15 Types of Orgasms with Ava Pikul
    Nov 14 2023

    In this episode, we return from a brief break and introduce Ava, a Tantric expert, who was previously on the podcast, and who I’ve been working with over the last six months.

    We talk all about the various types of female orgasms including clitoral, G-spot, cervical, U-spot, A-spot, P-spot, and anal orgasms.

    Ava is a Transformational Therapist and Tantra Healer certified by the only government accredited institute of tantra in the entire world - The Institute of Authentic Tantra! She has over 1,700+ hours of training in the field of tantra, as well as psychological, emotional, and spiritual healing modalities. Ava believes that healing shouldn't take years, and primarily guides men, women, and couples through a unique and holistic approach to healing and sexual fulfillment.
