My Understanding of Women’s Sexuality Just Cracked Wide Open
Mar 600:32:32Tap to summarizeMy entire perspective on women’s sexuality recently shifted — especially around the idea of containment. In this episode I share a personal realization that changed how I understand arousal, dominance, submission, deep pleasure, and the layers of shame many of us carry around sexuality.This is NOT meant to be a teaching episode.It’s more of a reflection on my own personal revelations and new practices that have changed how I relate to women and sex.I’m still actively learning and integrating these ideas, so take this as a window into my process - rather than a polished explanation of everything.If you're a man who loves women, what I share here could be one of the most important things you learn about sex.I would genuinely love to hear your thoughts and reactions - please let me know what you're thinking in the comments section of this episode on youtube, so we can explore this and learn together.Thank you.— TaylorTOPICS DISCUSSED: Containment in relationships, women's arousal, masculine leadership in intimacy, sexual polarity, dominance and submission, shame around sexuality, and how to get your wildest fantasies met as a man. **NOTE: You can expect more videos from me about the concept of containment, because I believe it's one of the most important ideas when it comes to sex and relationships.Upcoming topics may include:• how to contain a woman sexually• how to contain yourself• why YOU need containment• why offering containment matters as a man• and much more.CONNECT:https://www.taylorjohnson.life/https://www.instagram.com/taylorclarkjohnson🔸 UPCOMING SEXUAL LEADERSHIP TRAINING:Applications for The Embodied Sexual Leadership Training will open mid-march.

Transcribe →The ONE Sexual Practice Every Man Should Do Daily (Embodiment)
Sep 2500:11:22Tap to summarizeGet my free guided practice here: https://learn.taylorjohnson.life/embodiment - and know this: Most men trying to improve their sex lives are missing one crucial ingredient: embodiment. And this is one of the main reasons why so many men have "tried all the techniques" but still struggle with premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and sexual performance anxiety...To overcome these challenges, you HAVE TO do some kind of embodiment practice - in addition to learning the direct sexual techniques that address the sexual "dysfunctions." The techniques alone won't cut it...*NOTE: This episode was originally filmed for Youtube, but I decided to put it here as a podcast episode as an experiment. You can watch the video on youtube here. FREE RESOURCES🔸 Ejaculation Control Training🔸 17-Minute Sexual Embodiment Guided Practice🔸 7-Day Semen Retention ChallengeUPCOMING TRAINING FOR MEN:🔱 Consider joining my upcoming 10-week sexual self-mastery training for men called the Orgasmic Mastery Course. It starts October 16th, 2025.-------NOTE 2: The free practice I've linked to above combines elements of Qigong, breath work, Yoga, mobility training, Taoist sexual practice, and somatic awareness exercises too. This kind of practice is what I do for my main regular/personal practice. It's not entirely qigong, so I don't call it that. And it's not entirely yoga either... It is what it is. :)-------CONNECT & LEARN MORE:Sex Upgraded PodcastWebsiteInstagram#embodimentpractice #embodiment #menshealth Support the show
Transcribe →My Heart Cracked Open... (In a Somatic Process with the Strozzi Institute)
Jul 2400:32:13Tap to summarizeThis episode is a very personal story from a workshop I attended 6 weeks ago... During the workshop, I had an experience that broke me open in profound ways that have changed my life for the better. *(Important note below)* And I'm definitely still integrating what happened, but at this point I've spent enough time in integration to feel excited to share the story with you.**IMPORTANT NOTE: What I forgot to mention in the episode was that the experience was so strong for me, I had to spend the rest of that evening back at my AirB&B, going back and forth between laying down on the bed crying with emotional opening/release - and getting up to do intentional movement practice to feel everything fully and integrate. I didn't eat, I didn't distract myself with social media or tech... I just spent the evening & night solo - feeling, integrating and then went to sleep. It felt like the comedown of a profound psychedelic medicine journey... that's the best analogy I can come up with.If you're someone who's interested in personal transformation, and different ways that can happen, I think you'll really enjoy this episode.🔴 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube here.HAVE A QUESTION?I'm open to any questions about anything I shared in this episode (please ask me in a comment on this video). This work is absolutely fascinating to me... and I'm into discussing it with people who are also interested in the world of somatics & transformation.EPISODE TIMES & TOPICS:00:00 Somatics Explained02:53 The Strozzi institute (Where I'm Studying)04:39 Somatic Bodywork Explained06:45 The Story: My Heart-Opening Transformation23:45 Advanced Somatics Retreat Update (Rescheduled)27:40 Sex & Heart (My Biggest Challenge & Growth Areas)30:00 The Potential of Somatics & Movement in Men’s WorkWORK WITH ME:🔸 Liberate Your Lifeforce Retreat (August, 2025): 🔸 Orgasmic Mastery Course (September, 2025):🔸 FREE 7-Day Semen Retention ChallengeTHE STROZZI INSTITUTEIf you want to check them out, here are the courses I've taken with the Strozzi Institute:🔸 Embodied Transformation (April 2023)🔸 Embodied Leadership Pathway (Weekend 1 Only) (September 2024)🔸 Somatic Bodywork (April 2025)🔸 Somatics, Trauma & Resilience (June 2025)The upcoming training I'm taking with Strozzi:🔸 Somatic Coaching Training (October, 2025)*NOTE: Sadly I dropped out of the Embodied Leadership Pathway program because hurricane Helene hit my home in Asheville during the first weekend of the training, and the recovery effort was too intense and all-consuming to do the needed coursework. It's a great program, and I'd like to re-enroll in the future when schedule permits!#somatics #mensworkSupport the show
Transcribe →From Boy to King: Mature Masculinity & Conscious Love - with Max Trombly
Jul 2201:02:08Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason you keep choosing the wrong partner… is a belief you picked up at five years old?
