Top Quotes:

  • We move through portals in our sex. Both physically in that my body feels different afterwards and emotionally and mentally. We just travel different Universes and it’s really incredible.
  • Our basic belief is that there’s more than enough pleasure and connection to go around. And the more love and pleasure we each have in our lives, that can only benefit the other person. There’s nothing taken away from me if she has other partners.
  • It’s not repressing all those feelings like “Oh, I’m not jealous”. That kills open relationships. It’s like being fully honest that there are feelings that come up and playing with them.
  • We’re not even allowing ourselves to feel how big something can be or how great something can be, because our mind gets in the way.

Sexuality in the Mormon Church and Masturbating with Stuffed Animals with Christina and Stephen

By on August 25, 2015 in

Christina and Stephen Official

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

We had so much fun having this conversation with Christina and Stephen aka “Ander” of the Vimbasi Warriors. They have a really adorable story of how they met, and they hold nothing back around their own sex lives, personally and as a couple. Their communication and willingness to learn and grow in their relationship is such an inspiration. Stephen is dating coach and founder of Vimbasi Warrior. Christina is currently exploring coaching and helping women have more fulfilling sex lives and relationships.

Official Bio for Vimbasi Warrior:

We (the company) are most well known for guiding men of various backgrounds towards their individual “seductive integrity”. While others focus on quick gimmicks and tricks to reach one night of “success”, Vimbasi Men focus on sustainable, custom, effective and healthy ways of expanding their ability to love and impassion women. We put the passion, heart, and art back into intimacy. A Vimbasi Warrior’s seductive integrity isn’t just what he will use to get a date, it’s what he’ll use to seduce his future (or for some men, their current) wife, and honorably pass on to his son.

In This Conversation We Discuss:

  • Stephen’s experience growing up in the Mormon Church and how it impacted his sexuality.
  • How this couple overcame their individual painful sexual histories to really open up to amazing communication and even more amazing sex with each other.
  • Listen to Stephen’s painfully funny story of how he “didn’t get the message” during a shower he was taking with two other women – who were soaping each other up!
  • Why it’s important to treat your sexuality like a dimmer switch (not an on/off light switch).

Top Quotes:

  • “If you can’t get a girl out of the barriers that are in her mind, good luck getting her to relax so she can get off.”
  • “It was a shock for me that women want some of the things I want.”
  • “I spent years trying to please women, how to please women. It has served me to such an extreme degree. But at the same time I reached this point of, ‘well what about me?’”

Redefining Sexuality after Paraplegia with Sam Morris

Sam Morris

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

Sam Morris is the founder of Zen Warrior Training. In 1999, just after leading a bicycling trip for nine teenagers across the United States, Sam was in a car accident caused by a drunk driver which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Rather than becoming the victim of his circumstances, Sam learned and created a system of mental and physical training that brought him more vitality and clarity than he had before his injury.

In addition to coaching private clients and businesses in Zen Warrior Training, Sam hosts biweekly classes in Santa Monica, CA, a monthly men’s group called “Zen for Men,” Zen Warrior Training youth programs, and workshops throughout the country.

In This Conversation We Discuss:

  • How Sam redefined his sexuality and manhood after losing all sexual feeling and function due to a spinal cord injury.
  • How lovemaking can be an opportunity to develop enormous self awareness that has infinite depth.
  • How to have sexual experiences that have nothing to do with genital orgasm and are deeply fulfilling to both you and your partner.
  • How sex can become more enriching and fulfilling when we use it to know ourselves more deeply (as opposed to simply fulfilling sexual desires).

Top Quotes:

  • “I can have a sexual experience while I’m working at my computer.”
  • “I realized more and more that it’s essential to be true to your own authentic energetic style when making love. That is the key and the core of lovemaking.”
  • “That I think is what women really want. They want someone to focus on intimacy. They want someone to actually be there with them.”
