NSFW: Beast Mode — Where Does Sexual Shame Come From? The Stigma Around Sex, Cross-Dressing, Plant Medicine and More - #16

Sex, Money & Rage

This is the most explicit, controversial, honest, and hilarious podcast episode we’ve done so far.
Sorry mum.
If you’re easily offended, watch out...
My brother John and I went deep into why there is so much stigma and shame around sex.
Religion, organisations, your social group (and even the SMR podcast) – all influence the way you think and feel about sex.
We all have an uptight friend called Karen who is in need of some serious vibrator-time.
Or Alex who needs to go and get that freaking prostate massager already.
The solution to world peace = more orgasms (in my VERY humble opinion 😇).
Yep, I said it.
People are far-too-often shamed for enjoying a certain sexual fantasy or fetish.
Maybe your parents shamed you when they caught you masturbating as a teenager.
Maybe you’ve been shamed by your partner for wanting to switch roles and be the dominant.
Or maybe you’ve been shamed by your vanilla friends for trying anal sex (and loving it way more than you thought you would).
Sexual shame is so common.
So what’s the antidote?
Talking about sex.
Because as we talk about it, the stigma and shame around sex dissolves.
Growing up in church, there was so much sexual shame.
I was taught not to have sex before marriage.
I was told what types of sex I was allowed to have.
Thankfully, I rebelled against it all.
It didn’t make sense.
Why was someone else allowed to dictate what I did with my body?
Why was this natural physical urge that I had – wrong?
If you think there’s something wrong with you for wanting sex, then you’ll search for something to “fix you”.
But humans are made to have sex.
It’s in your DNA. It’s in your blood.
And as long as the sex is safe, sane and consensual, then go crazy.
Experiment with an inflatable butt plug (as long as Amazon isn’t sold out), play with your spiky alien dildo, or visit that BDSM dungeon you’ve been eyeing for weeks now.
The sexual world is your delicious, tantalising, leather-wearing oyster.
We also talked about John's recent experience doing an ayahuasca dieta.
Plant medicine and psychedelics offer incredible insight into feeling your pain, and releasing it from your body and mind.
But -- it's not for the faint of heart.
It's important to have solid tools to help you navigate the world of ayahuasca. Like Rageheart.
