In this episode I'm talking with my colleague and friend, men's sex coach and couples' therapist Aumsong Troughton. Our topic? Something I'll call "women experience men's desire as demand and WTF do we do about that?" I'll be revisiting this topic many times in this series as it keeps coming up with the men and women I work with. This is a loose conversation that points the way for many, many more...

My friend and colleague Fabiola Perez recently posted a short video encouraging men to read Naomi Wolf's book, Vagina: A New Biography. She was saying that this was a book men should be reading.

Leroy Gordon is a men's coach and a fequent guest on this podcast. In March, as part of the Lover archetype conversation, Leroy offered this practice. It is, in my experience, a beautiful way to become a "lover" to this life I'm gifted. It slows me down. Opens me up.

On February 20, 2024 I had the opportunity to host a conversation with Katie Dove about things that matter deeply to me. These include our masculine and feminine sexuality, our ways of being with each other, marriage, and more. It was an hour that is shaping how I practice, both as a teacher and as a ceremonialist, but also as a man in relationship with women, and especially in relationship to mys...

Stephen Jenkinson and Kimberly Ann Johnson continue to have a powerful impact in my thinking and acting with regard to what I'm writing, teaching, and living in recent years.

In this episode of the "I don't want to f*ck if I can't feel your love" series I host a panel made up of Mel...

Sacrifice. An old fashioned idea with lots of relevance in this man's life. I been writing about "sacrifice" recently [see below on how to get your Daily Meditations for Men]. It's not something I ever thought I'd be advocating, but today I see it as one of the best ways for me to move through the blocks I've created for myself. I took the opportunity to host this episode of the live #MENSWORK sho...

Men. Women. Sex. Love. The learning never stops.... When men's sex coach Aumsong Troughton and I first started talking about this show our working title was, "If I can't stick my d*ck into your p*ssy do you still love me?" That morphed into, "If we're not having sex do I still love you?" After letting this percolate for a week or so Aumsong nailed it with what's may be a monthly topic here on the...

To move forward, slowly and surely, I need only sit and wait. I wrote yesterday [see Daily Meditations for Men, #dailymenswork at sacredbodiesca.tumblr.com ] about experiencing my life as a magical unfolding. Magical that is, when I open to the flow of Her gifts, when I allow myself that grace. A week of intensive practice and training have, it seems, put me into that state of grace. [continued on...

My imagination is limited to what I have experienced, what I've read about, been shown. One of my purposes is to open myself to the wonder and awe of the unimaginable. That is why I cultivate my relationship with Her, and especially as She manifests in the children near me, and in the silent woman I love.  Becoming still, I am better able to experience their magic. But this stillness is not p...
