You feel like less of a man. You lose your natural sense of masculinity. And it allows your shame to consume your mind and trick you into thinking you'll be laughed at if you bring it up to other men. But something magical happens when you can talk about it openly: It loosens the pressure vault and lets the tension in your nervous system relax. Why? Because your sexual wellness isn't just about doing more kegels. In fact, that misses the point entirely. Perhaps nobody knows this better than today's guest, Michael Hodge. Michael lived through 5 years of severe pelvic pain, urinary, and sexual issues, which culminated in his wife telling him that she doesn't want to have sex with him anymore. Since then, he's merged his own healing experience with somatic nervous system practices which saved his sex life (and possibly his marriage). Beyond that, he's helped thousands of men transform their sexual and pelvic health issues too. Today's episode will transform how you think about - and approach - your own sexual wellness. You'll see why it's a necessary ingredient to your overall holistic health. And you'll leave with weird techniques that can make a significant difference to your connection and sense of pleasure (versus pressure) when it's time to \"get busy.\" Here's what Michael and I discuss: Why your sexual health means so much more than your penis or pelvic floor How bringing more sexual energy into your platonic relationships improves your sexual relationship with your partner Why the best way to improve your sexual health is by playing more in your day-to-day life And so much more, including… Why putting too much emphasis on exercises to address underlying…","meta_description":"There is nothing more deeply humiliating or shameful, to men, than suffering from any kind of sexual dysfunction.
