156. Orgasm As A Spiritual Discipline: Live With Eli Block (Bootleg Broadcast)

This unique 'Bootleg Broadcast' episode was recorded live from an undisclosed location in Malibu in a room full of Life Stylist Podcast listeners, and some of LA's most fascinating and talented people – including Eli Block, Master Stroker and lead Orgasmic Meditation (OM) instructor at OneTaste.We skip the story of how Eli got into this meditative practice – you can check out my first conversation with Eli back in episode 10 to learn all about that – and dive deep into the nitty-gritty of how Orgasmic Meditation works and who it helps.Our modern sexual practice is hyper-masculine and extremely goal-driven.  It usually ends up following transactional rules, like commerce. I do this for you, then you do that for me, etc.But do you want to approach intimacy the same way you approach buying a sandwich? It’s not very sexy (and not very zen).Instead, perhaps we can explore a more expansive understanding of intimacy? Interested in aligning your understanding of gender, sexuality, and orgasm with nature? Want to develop a sexual practice with your partner that doesn’t solely focus on exchanging pleasure?Then you might consider a ride on the OM train. Topics Discussed In This Episode: What exactly Orgasmic Meditation is & how you can practice it with your partner Why this process involves stroking the clitoris with no intended goal Our culture has a hyper-masculine definition for a lot of things related to relationships – but we could all benefit from learning more feminine definitions The skewed commerce of pleasure What makes a hot makeout When Luke accidentally sent his father some super nasty porn in the mail for Christmas Why there is no “nutritional value” to porn How your rigid sexual preferences can mean the undoing of your pleasure The wildly different reasons different people have sex Why your sexual skill doesn’t matter if a woman doesn’t want to enjoy what you’re doing OM as a protocol for increasing sensitivity & bringing orgasm to the next level You can OM however you want to, with whomever you want to – that’s why it’s a practice! Why it’s almost impossible to do anything else if you aren’t experiencing human connection Getting down on your knees & putting the work in to learn how a clitoris operates The benefits of practicing OM, for men and women Why one OM session doesn’t mean you’re about to have sex (although it can make sex a lot better if you feel the electricity) Why sex is an energy debit & OM is an energy credit   More about this episode. THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:Athletic Greens. 11 supplements in 1!
