The sexual dynamics between the sexes aren't something that we address as often as we should.
00:00:05.380
It's something that impacts men and women on a daily basis, but we're simply expected
00:00:10.460
as men to know how to speak to the opposite sex in terms of sexual attraction and intimacy.
00:00:16.640
This often leads to frustration in the bedroom and beyond.
00:00:20.440
My guest today is Jackson Hightower, and he is a sexual mastery expert who works closely
00:00:25.760
with men in building intimacy and sexual connection between man and woman.
00:00:32.040
Today we talk about what women find sexually attractive and irresistible, why men struggle
00:00:37.240
to communicate their sexual wants, needs, and desires, what is causing the increase in erectile
00:00:43.320
dysfunction and lowering testosterone rates, how a man can improve his performance under
00:00:48.400
the sheets, and learning to satisfy both your woman and have your own needs met.
00:00:56.140
You live life to the fullest, embrace your fears, and boldly chart your own path.
00:01:00.520
When life knocks you down, you get back up one more time, every time.
00:01:04.980
You are not easily deterred or defeated, rugged, resilient, strong.
00:01:14.260
At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.
00:01:19.460
Gentlemen, welcome to the Order of Man podcast.
00:01:22.660
I'm the host and the founder of this movement, and we have been going strong for nine years.
00:01:27.220
So first and foremost, I need to thank you for tuning in, for banding with us, for supporting
00:01:31.840
this movement and this mission to reclaim and restore masculinity.
00:01:35.920
You know as well as I do in this degenerate society that we need more righteous, noble,
00:01:41.260
capable, strong, old, assertive men, maybe, than we ever have.
00:01:46.180
And it will only get worse unless we're willing to step up.
00:01:49.160
And I have taken it upon myself to interview incredible men and get their insight and their
00:01:57.020
Guys like Jocko Willink and Ben Shapiro and Tim Kennedy and Tim Tebow and David Goggins
00:02:03.340
and any other man, really, who has something interesting, unique, and insightful to share with us.
00:02:10.200
So please make sure you subscribe if you haven't, and that way we can continue to spread the word
00:02:15.700
and get this mission, again, of reclaiming and restoring masculinity out to the masses.
00:02:20.440
Guys, I just want to introduce my show sponsor and, of course, my good friends over at Montana
00:02:26.400
I believe that every good man needs a good knife, and whether you're looking for something
00:02:30.940

00:02:37.840
need something in the kitchen as you're making your food for your family and yourself, look
00:02:51.480
I've been able to build a knife with Master Knife Smith, Josh Smith, and I can tell you
00:02:56.980
this is a great company doing great things to bring back American manufacturing.
00:03:01.340

00:03:11.760
All right, guys, let me introduce you to my guest.
00:03:13.580
His name, again, is Jackson Hightower, and he is a sexual mastery expert.
00:03:17.020
He spent the last 15 years of his life really immersing himself in understanding the sexual
00:03:26.380
He's worked with some of the greatest teachers in the world and studies everything from Tantra
00:03:31.700
to Taoist practices and modern biohacking techniques, and he works with men all over
00:03:37.240
the world to improve their vitality, their confidence, their purpose.
00:03:40.940
He also helps them on their journey to physical, mental, and sexual well-being, and he offers
00:03:45.640
coaching courses and supplements for men to optimize their health, performance, and pleasure.
00:03:56.240
I've got a lot of questions I want to talk with you about that I don't think I've really
00:04:00.020
addressed in over nine years of doing this now.
00:04:07.540
Well, so the first question I have, because we're going to talk a lot about sexual mastery,
00:04:12.680
the differences between sexual desires and preferences between men and women, obviously
00:04:18.920
We can't get too much into specifics necessarily.
00:04:21.820
But I'm really curious if in your perspective, in your experience, does this tend to be something
00:04:28.940
Because I don't think there's taboo necessarily, but I think us actually talking about improving
00:04:36.100
sexual performance in the bedroom isn't something that a lot of guys talk about other than just
00:04:43.280
Most of the stuff that I see is based off of our egos.
00:04:46.820
And men, we have healthy egos and we like to be good at whatever it is that we do.
00:04:51.660
And especially in this particular area, I find that the ego plays a big role.
00:04:57.700
And we're never taught this stuff as we're growing up.
00:05:02.560
If you go to be a doctor, you go to medical school.
00:05:04.480
If you go to be a lawyer, you're going to law school.
00:05:07.400
Um, this is an area where it's so important to our lives, sexual health and sexual wellness
00:05:11.900
and being able to be, um, you know, you know, consummate lovers is great.
00:05:23.060
You're used to saying that because, because of Instagram, right?
00:05:29.040
So I'm kind of like, it's a different language.
00:05:32.360
Um, but, but, but when, but when it comes down to it, men are generally not comfortable sharing
00:05:40.000
this with other guys because of that ego and that machismo that we have a little bit.
00:05:43.980
And so it takes a guy who's a bit evolved, a bit conscious of saying, Hey, I may actually
00:05:48.180
not know exactly what I'm doing because I've never been taught.
00:05:50.780
And I've sort of been fumbling and learning along the way, hopefully getting some guidance,
00:05:54.340
but generally being taught a lot of the wrong things.
00:05:56.580
So it's a, it's a mix of ego and it's a mix of never being taught this stuff and just being
00:06:02.160
humble and saying, Hey, this is an area that I definitely like, I, I can learn more here.
00:06:08.500
And then finding other men who, um, who are also in that same, you know, uh, framework where
00:06:15.840
And I think it takes a guy who, you know, gets out of that sort of, um, uh, you know, I
00:06:22.440
know everything type of a type of demeanor because in this area, they don't.
00:06:27.560
Well, I, you know, in addition, I'm sure it's ego driven, like you said, but in addition
00:06:31.120
to that, I, I, I also wonder if it's because when it comes to sex, and again, I'm speaking
00:06:36.420
in generalities here, men probably view it more on the spectrum of transactional than
00:06:43.680
So a lot of guys are probably thinking in themselves, what's to learn, get in there, get it done,
00:06:50.120
Whereas women see it as more, again, generally speaking, a more bonding, emotional, not
00:07:02.700
Uh, and so when men go into the experience of, of, of sexual intimacy, usually they have
00:07:12.200
It may just be like, Hey, I need to, to, to get off myself.
00:07:17.820
You know, the way that women approach a lot of this stuff is emotional based.
00:07:24.360
I want security so that they can drop into a space where they feel really comfortable
00:07:27.480
and then can then be much more sexually, um, primed as you could, as you say, what I
00:07:32.560
think men fail to realize a lot is that we're made differently.
00:07:38.080
They need to be, you know, they need to have that slow boil, right.
00:07:41.620
In that, in the art of foreplay and getting them up to a place where they actually, they
00:07:47.220
We, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, we don't need that, right?
00:07:53.360
And the thing that I find is that the amount of foreplay that, that men are aware that
00:08:00.320
they should be focusing on is significantly less than what women are really like, what
00:08:04.940
their bodies actually need, you know, 20, 25, 30 minutes of foreplay.
00:08:12.360
So women want to have an emotional experience where they can connect and have a felt sense
00:08:17.040
men, because of the way our bodies work, you know, we're the ones that are entering the
00:08:23.620
And it's a very, it's, when you think about that, that's a really powerful, powerful frame
00:08:28.280
of reference, um, allowing someone to enter your body.
00:08:31.220
And so, you know, taking time, you know, is an important thing that I teach a lot of the
00:08:35.620
It's like, use all of the skills that you have, but don't just go right to the thing, you
00:08:40.240
know, and that's also the art of understanding men and women speak differently.
00:08:43.960
You know, the way that we communicate is different.
00:08:45.720
So you have to sort of come into that translation mode.
00:08:48.540
Um, and, uh, and that's, it can sometimes be difficult if you've never been taught it
00:08:53.140
You talk about foreplay, not just being physical foreplay.
00:09:03.800
Maybe it's, you know, suggestive texts or comments.
00:09:07.780
What does, what does foreplay look like outside of physical intimacy?
00:09:12.800
You know, I, I tell guys like foreplay starts the moment that you're finished, right?
00:09:18.300
And so it's communication, it's verbal, it's voice notes, it's text messages.
00:09:23.380
Um, and I encourage guys, you know, and obviously depending on the relationship dynamic, but
00:09:38.960
They, they want to have foreplay that is indirect.
00:09:42.220
And so the way that you communicate with a woman via text or whatever it is, a lot of
00:09:46.860
guys sort of can be overt because if we're speaking to a guy or we're trying to get something
00:09:50.720
done in business, we're like a to B, that's the way we communicate with women.
00:09:53.900
It's actually like, it's, it's, it's not a to B it's, we want to, we want to sort of
00:09:58.740
skirt around the issue and, and, and use metaphors and use analogies and communicate in a way that
00:10:03.860
a woman is going to be much more properly, um, she's going to receive it a lot better.
00:10:11.600
And then also I talked to guys about love languages.
00:10:13.840
If they don't know what love languages are, love languages are kind of like the way that
00:10:21.580
Um, one is physical touch, which most men that's their love language is physical touch.
00:10:26.020
First, there's words of affirmation, which is communicating verbally with your partner
00:10:33.920
Which is just spending time with a person, um, doing whatever it is that you may be doing
00:10:39.260
Another one is acts of service where you're going out of your way to do certain things
00:10:42.620
around the house or, you know, um, you know, things that, you know, that they may need to
00:10:48.340
Uh, and then there's, um, gifts, which is like, you know, giving someone, you know, a
00:10:53.500
It doesn't need to be big things, but it could be a little thing.
00:10:55.760
So what I tell guys is like, learn what your partner's love language is.
00:11:01.080
And if you can determine what that love and everyone has a bit of everything, but usually there's
00:11:05.180
two that are major that are, that are go above and beyond the rest.
00:11:08.980
So if you can figure out what that is and then utilize that love language, you know,
00:11:13.980
in the time that you're not being physically intimate with each other, that could be really
00:11:17.060
effective, um, at helping, you know, to, so that your partner knows and they're feeling
00:11:21.720
love the way that they want to feel the love because everybody's different.
00:11:29.540
So it's hard because there's a tremendous amount.
00:11:33.480
I was just going to say, that's a challenge because the way, for example, the way I receive
00:11:39.320
And for me, the secondary would be words of affirmation.
00:11:43.720
So it's easy for me to assume that everybody else feels the same.
00:11:50.980
So when she's wanting to feel loved, I just give her physical touch and words of affirmation,
00:12:01.940
I don't, it's not like I don't, I don't want to do that.
00:12:05.480
But if I know it, then I can cater my love language to what makes her feel comfortable
00:12:13.540
The big key here is that if you're in a partnership, you have to remember, or you're
00:12:19.940
being intimate with someone, you have to remember that you have to speak the way that they are
00:12:25.100
going to receive you best or act the way that they're going to receive you best.
00:12:29.720
And so it's not just like, well, if I want this, that I'm going to do this to this person.
00:12:33.520
That's often the exact wrong approach, especially when it comes to being with a woman, because
00:12:42.120
Um, and so it's getting into the mindset and sort of thinking like, okay, instead of saying
00:12:47.200
something that's very direct, right, I'll give you a great example, guys, you know, we're
00:12:55.340
They could be doing anything and a visual image is amazing.
00:12:58.640
Um, I get a lot of comments from when they're like, can you please tell the guys not to send
00:13:04.680
Like they don't send us, they don't send us those, we don't like those, right?
00:13:09.020
But, but, but so if a guy's like, oh, if I like a visual image of a woman, then she's
00:13:15.240
And the reality is it couldn't be further for the truth, right?
00:13:20.600
They're not visual creatures the way that same way men are.
00:13:22.760
So men need to get in the mindset of like, okay, how can I translate this experience, right?
00:13:27.580
How can I act, think, or behave a little bit differently and say, put my mind and put myself
00:13:32.420
in the, in the position of the woman and say, what is going to resonate best with her?
00:13:36.780
What is going to, what is going to get her to a place where she feels the most, you know,
00:13:41.320
uh, uh, safety and the most connection and the most, you know, emotional, um, uh, you know,
00:13:47.860
And so you kind of have to have to play it a little bit differently than I want to do this,
00:13:54.100
It's like, well, what if we, what if we had a more indirect way of communicating that?
00:13:58.240
Cause that's going to resonate much more with her.
00:14:00.020
Um, just like the art of foreplay, you start with everything other than the direct penetration.
00:14:06.460
It's all about the indirectness I find is, is the, is, is where a man can develop incredible
00:14:11.580
amounts of acuity and boil that water over time, right?
00:14:15.900
That's what you're doing with the woman and you're, and you're continually elevating her
00:14:20.540
And you're doing that when you're not with each other during the week with all the different,
00:14:24.840
you know, facets of, of, uh, of non, non-physical foreplay.
00:14:29.020
Like, how do you, how do you get to the point where you are confident enough to experiment
00:14:37.300
Because I think a lot of guys feel a level of risk associated with behaving in new ways.
00:14:42.620
You know, even if you're saying based on your experience, this is going to be much more
00:14:51.300
Even though you might say that there's going to be a lot of hesitancy in a guy, maybe doing
00:14:57.300
something that's a little risky or being running into the scenario where maybe he gets shot down
00:15:03.980
So how do you get to the point of confidence to experiment and try some of these things
00:15:10.560
I think the first is, you know, rejection can be really helpful and it can be really
00:15:19.740
Um, I know one likes to fail, but it is such an incredibly important thing.
00:15:24.340
That's how I got started in all of this because I had a couple of experiences when I was in
00:15:30.980
I was not, I was not competent in any aspect of the experience.
00:15:34.340
And I was told that, and there was really direct feedback.
00:15:38.440
But for what I tell guys is like, look, you have to start somewhere, right?
00:15:41.860
And you have to get to a place where you're like, Hey, if I try this, some of it may work,
00:15:46.720
But the reality is you're moving towards a place where you're continually building a
00:15:52.840
So, you know, I would just say to, I would say to a guy who's in a partnership, you know,
00:15:58.500
Um, having a, a space where you can try things and you can feel comfortable with that.
00:16:03.160
You know, you should be confident enough to try something new with the partner.
00:16:06.940
And, and usually having those conversations outside of the bedroom dynamic where you're,
00:16:10.360
you're not in that physical intimacy space right away.
00:16:13.220
Um, and if you're not in a partnership and you're trying different things, you know,
00:16:17.420
and you're dating, if you're, if you're dating or if you're getting, you know, a couple of
00:16:20.880
people or whatever it is that you're doing, um, giving it a go, it's not going to, it's
00:16:24.940
not going to, it's not going to hurt you because you're going to learn, right?
00:16:27.980
When you first start going to the gym, you don't know what you're doing, but you're giving
00:16:30.620
it a shot and you're, and you're testing things out and you see other people, how they're
00:16:33.740
doing things and you're reading things and, or whatever it may be.
00:16:36.460
So in, in this area, I say, try, fail, it's going to be okay.
00:16:42.000
And, and, and because, you know, at the end of the day, you're not going to get dumped
00:16:46.440
over, over one, you know, little thing, you know what I mean?
00:16:49.260
Um, but I, I believe that failure is actually key.
00:16:52.780
And I think that if men can get over that hump of acknowledging that, Hey, I don't know this
00:16:57.480
stuff and I want to learn, and I'm going to start with at ground zero, that you're going
00:17:02.020
to have to make some mistakes and making mistakes as part of the game.
00:17:05.860
Do, so this might be a weird way to ask this question and you can probably give me a better
00:17:10.020
way to frame it, but do men get quote unquote credit?
00:17:14.440
So to speak for experimenting and trying something new, even if she's not maybe totally feeling
00:17:20.860
it or totally into it, is there some sort of positive benefit that could come from that?
00:17:26.840
You know, men, we lead and generally speaking, you know, as a man who's in his masculine and
00:17:33.480
rooted, um, a woman will follow that lead and be a part of his team.
00:17:37.440
And as long as the man is coming from a place of, um, no ego in a place of, uh, exploration,
00:17:45.860
open-mindedness, open-heartedness, I believe that a woman who's really into that man is going
00:17:53.700
They may not say it verbally, but they're going to get it.
00:17:55.480
And then they may come back with, here's an adjustment, right?
00:18:02.660
So, um, but it's a great, it's a great question.
00:18:05.160
Um, but if they're confident and they are, um, doing it in a way that isn't over overtly,
00:18:12.240
you know, sort of machismo and they come into a space where it's like, Hey, let's try and
00:18:17.220
I believe that they, they, there is a level of credit, um, that would be given if the
00:18:21.960
woman is in the right frame of reference and frame of mind of how she feels about her
00:18:27.980
It seems like there's some sort of stigma around feedback in, in the sexual department,
00:18:33.220
you know, where, uh, a guy might be hesitant to give his woman some feedback on what he
00:18:43.160
I actually appreciate the feedback because I'd like it to be pleasurable for everybody.
00:18:47.500
Like, I don't want things to just be beneficial for me.
00:18:52.020
And I, I think most good men are like that and it would be the same.
00:18:56.360
And so I think if there's a woman listening, like you don't have to shy away from, like
00:19:01.360
we as men actually like it so we can do better and be better.
00:19:07.540
The key is with all this stuff is communication and it's not always what is said, it's how
00:19:14.220
So when I, I have a lot of female followers as well.
00:19:16.980
And so anyone who's following this female, I believe that, um, if a woman offers feedback
00:19:24.480
from a heart centered place in an effort to really, um, be like as a team, not sort of
00:19:30.880
accusatory or, you know, you did this or you did that.
00:19:33.980
And it's more like, Hey, I would love this if we did this together.
00:19:38.340
Men have a tremendous amount of value and self-worth that's tied to their sex, their sexual energy,
00:19:47.100
Um, and if a guy is open-minded enough to be able to receive the feedback and it comes
00:19:53.840
from a heart centered place from the woman as like, Hey, let's try this together.
00:20:02.140
And, and if a woman can tap into the way that she is communicating to her partner and also
00:20:09.360
not necessarily doing it during the sexual experience or immediately after, right?
00:20:17.840
Where you guys are communicating about something together and saying, Hey, let's talk about
00:20:22.680
Let's talk about like, wait, you know, like things that you would like more of, let's
00:20:26.340
talk about things that you would like less of, um, or, you know, how I can improve this
00:20:31.180
experience and creating that safe space, that safe container outside of the bedroom.
00:20:37.020
Uh, I think that could be really important, but it's the way that it's communicated.
00:20:40.460
It has to be, it has to be done with a tremendous amount of love because that area is the single
00:20:46.300
biggest trigger point for men is when it comes down to their sexual capacities, performance
00:20:52.400
I like what you said about not being accusatory and, and, and just saying, Hey, let's try
00:20:56.340
together is something that stood out to me, you know?
00:20:58.940
And I, and I think sometimes between men and women, it's probably more so with men again,
00:21:07.060
Again, a lot of guys are like, I just need to get off.
00:21:11.060
And it's objectification of women, which obviously isn't healthy for anybody.
00:21:15.440
But now you're talking about, Hey, we're, we're a team.
00:21:17.960
We're not, I'm not having this interaction separate than you.
00:21:26.080
That, that thing is important is that, you know, if the, the more men can get away from
00:21:30.220
this sort of like, it's a transactional experience, right?
00:21:32.960
And it's actually more of just like an experience, right?
00:21:36.240
A pleasurable experience of exploration, right?
00:21:38.940
Where, you know, and again, this, this, this gets out of the sort of the typical frame of
00:21:44.320
reference of like, we're going to have sex, I'm going to get off.
00:21:46.400
And then, you know, we're going to go, I'm going to go off with my day or whatever it
00:21:49.800
If you can move it out of this transactional environment into a, Hey, this is a pleasurable
00:21:56.880
And I think as men, we want to be able to provide pleasure for our partner, right?
00:22:00.920
That, that's sort of like a nice ego stroke for us.
00:22:04.320
Hey, I, you know, she's going to be, um, I, I believe like a much more happy, like, you
00:22:09.020
know, loving connected partner if she's regularly, you know, being made love to in a way that
00:22:16.320
I talk about that a lot of like female orgasmic energy is, is potent and it infuses their system
00:22:22.840
and they become totally different women when a woman is skillfully made love to, you
00:22:29.360
Um, and so as men, we, I, I believe in the sort of, this is what I share is like being
00:22:35.180
able to know what to do as a man is, is going to be helpful for us for our own ego.
00:22:43.720
Um, I find it over and over again where women ask me, like, how do I give feedback to my
00:22:48.440
I say, talk about something he did really well first, right?
00:22:52.520
They should say how much they're like, talk about something he did really well and maybe
00:22:55.900
talk about two things that he did really well and then say, Hey, and you know what?
00:23:00.880
I would love more of this next time we, we explore together.
00:23:04.000
Or if you want to try this, that would be amazing.
00:23:06.560
And then kind of go on that road where you're successfully, you know, you stroke his ego a little
00:23:10.700
bit because it's important and then you say, Hey, let's try this, right?
00:23:14.360
But it's, but it's this togetherness component, which is going to make or break the way that
00:23:19.120
that is communicated because otherwise the men tend to shut down and that's not good.
00:23:23.620
And then you get in your head and you get sort of all sorts of performance anxiety issues
00:23:27.140
and then you're thinking about it a lot and you're not enough and all the value and self-worth
00:23:30.760
things that come with, um, that the sexual, you know, areas in our lives.
00:23:35.300
How do you, so you're talking a lot about feedback and doing this together, but how does a
00:23:41.000
Let's say he's with a woman who maybe isn't as vocal or forthright about, you know, sexual
00:23:48.780
How does a guy who wants to know, Hey, am I doing a good job in this department?
00:23:52.120
Begin to solicit some of that feedback from his partner.
00:23:54.760
I would say one is you create a space outside of the bedroom to talk about it.
00:23:58.720
Number two, the man needs to come because here's something interesting.
00:24:03.160
So a lot of times women don't like to give feedback to men because they are afraid they're
00:24:09.800
And so the man needs to come from a place and say, Hey, I would love to really understand
00:24:20.240
And I know that I may not be, you know, the good at all of this sort of stuff, but I really
00:24:26.580
And I would love to hear from you where I can improve or where this experience can be
00:24:32.380
And if a man comes from that super open place where they actually are truly open-minded to
00:24:37.380
hearing the feedback, then I believe that the woman will be primed in a place where she
00:24:42.520
can actually give that feedback without making him feel badly.
00:24:47.660
So if she really feels that you are there and you are present, you are ready for that feedback,
00:24:53.480
But if you don't preface that, a lot of times women will not give direct feedback because
00:25:00.180
they are afraid of hurting his feelings or making him shut down or things like that,
00:25:07.040
So it's got to be, again, as a man, the container needs to be set up properly, right, for that
00:25:16.240
And we need to really own it as men and saying, Hey, we can get better at everything, right?
00:25:24.060
So this is an area where I know I can improve and I would love to create a better experience
00:25:29.080
Well, I imagine also it's probably, you know, we've all heard the adage, you train people
00:25:37.160
And so what you expect, what you tolerate, how you receive feedback is really going to
00:25:42.740
determine how somebody is going to treat you or respond in the future.
00:25:46.340
Whether we're talking about sexual intimacy with your wife or asking your kids how you're
00:25:52.560
doing as their father or getting feedback back at work or constructive criticism.
00:25:57.220
If you blow up, lose your mind, lose your cool, lose track of your emotions, shut down, like
00:26:04.220
you're saying, of course, she's never going to share anything with you again.
00:26:08.500
But if you handle critique and feedback with some humility and grace, then you're teaching
00:26:16.520
people that you're strong enough mentally and emotionally to receive feedback, to improve
00:26:26.700
The humility and dropping the ego and saying, Hey, I'm coming into this space knowing that
00:26:32.000
I as a man want to improve in all aspects of my life.
00:26:34.780
And I'm ready to hear feedback from people that can give it to me and I'm open to that.
00:26:39.420
And by the way, feedback is, is one person's feedback, maybe one thing, but if you're getting
00:26:43.420
consistent feedback across the board from a variety of people, you know that you may need
00:26:46.720
to look into that, but it's, it's, it's key and offering it from a heart centered place
00:26:54.540
on both sides is, is very important where you actually really, really, really care about
00:27:00.660
You're not just doing it to just to, to, to start something.
00:27:03.800
Do you get like you personally, do you get a lot of pushback because it, people think
00:27:10.080
you're, you're gaming the system or, or you're manipulating or like, what kind of feedback
00:27:15.360
do you personally receive when you talk about these things?
00:27:17.580
Cause I imagine there is some of that, although in talking with you, following you for some
00:27:22.620
amount of time, like I can see that it's not just about getting a dude laid.
00:27:26.800
Like you're actually, you actually care about men and you care about women, but I imagine
00:27:31.020
there's, there's a side of people who think something different of what the work that you
00:27:37.080
Um, I come from this from a very, very, very heart centric place.
00:27:42.440
And all of the information that I give is so that we can all have better sex in general.
00:27:46.560
Cause I think, you know, better sex is, it creates a better world, right?
00:27:50.580
Um, I think there's a tremendous amount of, um, you know, uh, angst and, and issues and
00:27:57.920
whatever it is that result from a lopsided orgasm ratio or things like that.
00:28:05.040
So when I share with men, like these are things that you need to get into.
00:28:08.420
And, and so, yeah, you could say, oh, that guy's just doing this to like get the woman
00:28:13.780
And I say, yeah, maybe that works like once or something, but the reality is you're not
00:28:24.300
So it's not like the, the pickup stuff, you know, the back in the day that the pickup
00:28:28.080
artist, I don't do any, that that's not something that I'm into at all.
00:28:31.800
Um, because the reality is, you know, that might work for a one night stand here and there,
00:28:36.560
but you're talking about really understanding how to connect with a woman.
00:28:40.880
And if you're not in a place where you want to take that on, that's not, that's a, that's
00:28:47.420
And so it expands outside of the realm of just the sexual experience.
00:28:52.240
So for me, um, you know, what, what I coach guys is like, you need to figure out who you
00:29:00.080
And if you are just looking for a one night stand, quick things like that's go somewhere
00:29:05.720
But if you actually want to understand a woman's body and understand what makes her tick and
00:29:09.560
understand like how she communicates, it's going to take a level of effort that's going
00:29:14.680
to weed out the people that are just like, Oh, like, you know, I'll just want to do this
00:29:21.360
I've studied this stuff for like 15 plus years, you know, and I understand.
00:29:26.180
And every experience that I have, I come in from a place of like, um, genuine exploration
00:29:31.420
and joy and, and like, uh, and wanting to understand and connect and provide pleasure, but also have
00:29:40.020
So, um, I think it's easy to weed out the guys that are like, Oh, uh, you know, I'll do these
00:29:45.320
things and then I'll get, but that's not what I share.
00:29:51.300
Man, let me step away from the conversation just for a minute.
00:29:53.760
As you may know, the iron council, that's our exclusive brotherhood is officially open
00:29:58.200
for registration. Uh, what you may not know is what exactly the iron council is and how
00:30:04.240
it can benefit you. Now, early this year, we made the decision to pull back the curtain
00:30:09.400
and do a preview call during our open window. This was extremely, extremely valuable for
00:30:14.900
men who were sitting on the fence. Uh, many of these guys knew they needed brotherhood
00:30:19.160
and camaraderie and accountability, but were skeptical to say the least that the iron council
00:30:25.240
could provide it. So if this is you, we've got you covered. We're going to be hosting
00:30:29.640
a preview call this Thursday, June 27th at 8 PM Eastern. Again, that's June 27th at 8 PM
00:30:37.440
Eastern. You're going to hear from some of the leaders and men making huge differences
00:30:43.300
and strides in their lives. And you'll be able to ask any questions that you may have
00:30:48.300
to see if the council is right for you. So if you want to join us again, that's June 27th
00:30:52.740
at 8 PM Eastern, head to the iron council.com slash preview, the iron council.com slash preview.
00:31:00.200
You can do that now. That way you'll be emailed and notified when we go live on Thursday, the
00:31:05.160
27th at 8 PM Eastern, the iron council.com slash preview. Now let's get back to it with Jackson.
00:31:13.280
In, in your experience with, with working all with all of your clients, what is, what is the
00:31:18.320
general feel or I don't know if it's health necessarily, or just where a man is mentally,
00:31:24.080
emotionally, spiritually in having multiple sexual partners at a time versus, uh, you know,
00:31:31.940
a single partner, whether it's long-term or a single partner at a time. Have you noticed
00:31:35.760
any trends there in how men feel about themselves, um, or their confidence levels or how they interact
00:31:42.100
with other aspects of their lives? I think, um, for the younger men, um, there's this sort
00:31:47.920
of, uh, energy of like wanting to connect with multiple people and learn, you know, the bodies
00:31:53.960
of, of, you know, learn how different women are and learn about different, you know, female anatomies
00:31:59.140
and things like that. And as men in like their thirties and forties, I'm finding who are, you know,
00:32:04.460
part of my customers who are DMing me, they're much more interested in like the, the single partner,
00:32:09.260
right. And really diving in and going deep with that partner. I think in general, it's difficult
00:32:14.000
to, um, you know, you only learn so much by having multiple partners, right? You learn much more by
00:32:19.420
having a partner, right? And then that they provide that mirror for you and then you can grow as a
00:32:23.860
human in, in a way that I find is, is, um, there's a cap almost if you're not, if you're consistently,
00:32:30.100
you know, moving from partner to partner. Um, but I think you can grow a tremendous amount,
00:32:36.980
um, in both areas. Right. And as younger men, we're trying to understand things, but it's also
00:32:42.280
about, it's being safe. It's being, you know, having those evolved conversations where it's
00:32:46.620
like, Hey, you know, we're dating and I'm, you know, also dating other people. I think that at
00:32:51.660
the end of the day, like women aren't necessarily geared like that. And so those relationships are
00:32:56.640
going to fall off the wayside, right. Where it's like, if a man's, you know, dating multiple
00:32:59.880
people at the same time. Um, and I encourage a man, like if you find a woman in a partner,
00:33:04.700
like you go deep, right. And you choose her and like, that's what you, that's what you
00:33:08.940
go for. And then you're going to explore and learn together because you have that safe
00:33:12.440
container where both of you feel trust and you feel comfortable. And then that enables
00:33:16.720
you to have much higher levels of sexual ecstasy when you have that trust, especially on the
00:33:21.700
female side, right. Because she, she, she's in that space of trust and surrender and there's
00:33:27.140
the emotional connection. Um, so that's, that's kind of what I, you know, share with men,
00:33:31.300
but there's a cap I would say on, on what you can experience just, you know, having multiple
00:33:36.160
partners and it's always best to, to achieve higher levels of sexual pleasure with, with
00:33:41.580
the person that you're in love with really. Yeah. I think for a lot of guys, just based
00:33:46.780
on, I don't know, cultural standards or norms or dogma that, you know, it's, you're going
00:33:51.280
to have higher levels of satisfaction with multiple partners, right. That we we've all heard
00:33:55.200
that because it's in a man's nature to, you know, go, go do his thing with multiple
00:33:59.740
partners. But I think, and that's what I wrote down here is I actually wrote down, as I was
00:34:04.580
thinking about this, the word trust and you said it, it seems like when you get to a position
00:34:08.980
of trust that you can have more real conversations, you can get into genuine feedback. You can
00:34:16.100
explore with each other a little bit more than you might be able to do. If you just met this
00:34:20.600
person, you know, not to mention all of the other ramifications of STDs and unwanted pregnancy
00:34:26.740
and all sorts of other things that come with being promiscuous.
00:34:30.020
Oh, so the, the, there are so many variables that you have to overcome when you have a new
00:34:35.320
partner, right? So like the learning of them, what makes them tick and that takes time, right?
00:34:39.860
Or it takes a level of mastery where you can learn it really quickly. But if you're, if
00:34:43.620
you're a guy and you have multiple partners and you have more sexual satisfaction, I don't
00:34:47.820
actually believe that you, you, if you're with one person, you start to really understand
00:34:53.180
what makes them tick. And that is a beautiful thing. And that takes, you know, time and
00:34:57.260
effort. And if you have multiple partners and you're doing that really quickly, you're
00:35:00.880
not going to get to that level because a, the female trust side isn't necessarily built
00:35:04.280
up and be your capacity to understand their body and what they want. It's just like, everything
00:35:10.040
is crunched. You know what I mean? So it doesn't, it doesn't work the same way. That's why if
00:35:13.780
you're with one person and you go deeper with them, the level of expansion and pleasure
00:35:17.900
What would you say to a guy who, you know, maybe they've been married for 10, 15, 20
00:35:22.580
years. Uh, they've been with the same woman since they were maybe high school sweethearts
00:35:26.600
or something like that. And they've got four kids and life and everything else. And the
00:35:31.020
guy, and maybe even his wife are feeling like, Hey, you know, things are a little stale in
00:35:35.280
the bedroom. Um, it does seem maybe transactional or they're, they're overly planning, you know,
00:35:42.040
their sexual, uh, dates and things like that. Like, what do you say to a guy like that?
00:35:46.880
He's like, man, I need something more. I don't want it outside of my marriage. I want
00:35:50.760
to hear in my marriage. Cause I love this woman, but what do I do to spice things up?
00:35:54.720
It's a great question. Um, and I have not been in that scenario, so I'm only giving advice
00:36:00.440
from the outside. Um, but, um, you know, number one is, yeah, I, what I would suggest is, you
00:36:09.320
know, a, um, you do need to make time for those experiences together, right? If you have kids
00:36:16.180
and you have jobs and you have this and that, like you, you might run into a situation where
00:36:19.280
you're never intimate with each other. Um, but in those scenarios, one is exploring things
00:36:25.700
that may be outside of the norm. You know, I, I believe that we as humans and aggregate
00:36:31.540
experience about 5% of ours, of, of the realm of like sexual pleasures and kinks and fetishes
00:36:37.660
and all that sort of stuff. Right. And so sometimes having those conversations where you open
00:36:42.240
up a gate and a portal into, Oh, what if we explored, you know, some sort of, uh, kink,
00:36:49.060
right? And kink isn't, it can be a variety of things. There's so many of them, right?
00:36:52.940
Where we have an open conversation and say, Hey, would it be interesting to you to explore,
00:36:56.500
you know, this, this, this, and you go through a list of questions and it's yes, no, maybe
00:37:00.400
yes, no, maybe, you know, where the other partner sits and then trying to bring some of
00:37:04.320
that stuff into the relationship could be really interesting and cool. I believe that setting
00:37:08.260
aside time where there are no other distractions and you can just be connected with each other
00:37:12.400
is actually important, especially if you have a busy life. Um, I found that a lot of people
00:37:16.600
that I know who have sexual, have great sexual experiences and they've been together for five
00:37:21.440
plus years, they make time for it, right? They have date night where like, there's nothing
00:37:25.200
else going on. They have no kids and they have, you know, everything is, is set up for them
00:37:29.480
to enjoy. And I would also say creating novel experiences, you know, going on a staycation
00:37:35.220
in a hotel in town, right? Where like they have, they're in a different place, right? You're
00:37:39.400
changing the frame of like where you are. You're not just in your bedroom at your house where your
00:37:42.920
kids are. And, you know, especially for the woman, she can get out of mom mode, right? And the
00:37:47.300
dad can get up dad mode and they're in an environment that is not in their house. Um, can that can be,
00:37:52.300
you know, sometimes enjoyable because it creates a different, you know, atmosphere, um, you know,
00:37:57.360
and, and consistently understanding again, what is that partner's love language hitting on those
00:38:02.140
things regularly? Maybe it's even like having a, an email address that's different from all the
00:38:07.000
other email addresses that you have, or having a different number that you text or a WhatsApp
00:38:10.780
versus an iMessage. And the, what the WhatsApp communication line is only for like, um, you
00:38:16.580
know, flirting and, and sexy conversations, right? And then you go to the iMessage and then it's sort
00:38:21.840
of the logistical day-to-day type stuff that you're doing as a partnership, right? Cause it's a
00:38:25.480
business, right? You're, you're with your, your partner, but finding a channel, this is where we only do
00:38:31.260
this. I was going to say, and you also don't want your kids picking up the iPad and seeing some of
00:38:37.320
those messages that are intended for your wife's eyes. Exactly. Exactly. But, you know, creating
00:38:45.040
those avenues where it's like, this is our play connection together, right? Whether it's a phone
00:38:50.380
number or an email or whatever it may be. And so you have to, because it takes work, you know what I
00:38:55.640
mean? It does, it takes work, it takes effort. And, and, you know, as a mom, you know, you may be
00:38:59.940
stressed out and you're managing your children and you may not be working out enough and you may
00:39:03.300
have weight gain. There's all these things that happen with partners, right? And there's complacency.
00:39:07.220
And I think that the key to having a thriving sex life as you get older is that a, you like
00:39:12.280
maintain a level of physical fitness. You stay connected with your own sexual energy. Um, you
00:39:17.240
create time and space for those experiences together. Um, and you, and you, uh, but you have to work at it.
00:39:22.600
It's just like everything else, right? You go to the gym and you work on your body and you have to
00:39:25.840
work on the relationship dynamic, especially in that sexual aspect together. Um, you know,
00:39:31.260
and so it takes time and commitment and effort. You, you talked about, uh, well, you're talking a
00:39:35.400
little bit about time right now, but you also talked about making time, carving out time. And
00:39:39.520
I mean, spontaneity I think is important, but also making sure when you do have busy schedules that
00:39:44.200
there is designated time for you guys to be intimate. I have a question that a lot of guys ask,
00:39:50.000
and I know this because of our Facebook group. This is something that often gets, gets brought
00:39:53.800
up guys, compare how often they're having sex. Like, Hey, you know, I get it once a week or
00:39:59.800
another guy's like, I get it two times and other guys, like I get it three times and other guys
00:40:03.320
like, man, three times, like I'd be in heaven if I had it three times a week. So is there a number
00:40:08.780
like it, is it all just subjective or is there something that guys should shoot for? Or is it just
00:40:15.980
whatever, however, how often you want it with your partner? There is no right answer. Um, what I say is,
00:40:22.840
you know, it depends on your age, twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, right? Um, generally
00:40:27.420
speaking, you're going to want more of it in your twenties. And then that's sort of like goes down
00:40:31.460
a little bit. Um, not to say that you shouldn't be having plenty of sex in your forties and fifties,
00:40:35.760
but your drive may not be as high as it was when then, um, you know, we hear this thing like,
00:40:41.680
Oh, like if you want to have a terrible sex life, get married. Right. Like, I don't, I don't really
00:40:45.960
believe that's true. I think that, you know, if you focus on this as an important part of your
00:40:50.080
relationship together, you can have plenty of sex in your forties, fifties, when you've been
00:40:54.080
married for a long time. What I do talk about is the amount of times that a man is actually like
00:41:00.620
releasing. And so that can shift and change, right? As the guys get older from twenties,
00:41:06.100
thirties, forties, fifties, that in terms of like what I've studied in Taoist tradition,
00:41:10.200
it's that, that life force energy that you have should be cultivated and it shouldn't necessarily
00:41:15.480
be released as often. So you'll find as a natural, you know, course, if a guy's in his forties and
00:41:21.340
fifties, he may not want to have sex four times a week, right? He may want to have sex twice a week
00:41:25.640
and that feels good for him. Um, it also depends on where the guy's at, you know, like if he wants
00:41:31.380
more kids, if he doesn't want more kids, if he's taking, you know, things that are going to increase
00:41:35.000
his sex drive, like a lot of guys in their forties and fifties start taking TRT and, you know,
00:41:38.960
hormone replacement therapy and stuff like that. Um, that's going to make their drive higher.
00:41:42.660
And so they're going to want it more, but there may be a disconnect with their female partner.
00:41:47.100
She may be going through early menopause or something like that. Um, and she may not be as,
00:41:51.440
as, as turned on. So, you know, understanding where your partner is at as well as is key. And
00:41:57.020
the more as men that we can pay attention to the, the, the, our female partner, right.
00:42:02.060
Understanding where they're at on their cycle, you know, you might have more sex when she's ovulating,
00:42:06.120
right. Because she may be primed and ready, right. And they may be quicker, more fun,
00:42:09.820
more spontaneous, um, as opposed to other parts of her cycle where, you know, it may be less
00:42:14.080
frequent. So as guys, I think we need to pay more attention to where our women are at on their cycle,
00:42:21.600
their emotions, their hormones, et cetera, so that we can optimize for how we can also get what we
00:42:26.980
want from the experience too, you know? So it's not just like, Oh, I wanted this, like figure out how
00:42:31.720
to connect with her. What turns her on? Like, you know, are you physically touching your partner
00:42:34.940
regularly? You know, what is, what are you doing in those times where you're consistently,
00:42:39.100
um, the art of foreplay, you're consistently, you know, uh, lubricating that, the engine almost,
00:42:44.200
right. Um, so that you can have more sex if you want it, you know, I think we're naturally kind of
00:42:50.860
going into this conversation, which is one thing I wanted to bring up and that it's the,
00:42:54.880
it's the topic of masturbation, you know, and, and cause you're talking about release and she might
00:43:00.460
not be on the same page as often as you. What is, what is your take on masturbation? Is that,
00:43:05.640
is, do you think generally it's better not to, and just be completely intimate with your spouse?
00:43:10.320
Do you think that's a healthy practice for men outside of the bedroom? What's your take on it?
00:43:15.900
Yeah. So a couple, couple things, you know, one masturbation is totally normal and it's totally
00:43:21.700
healthy. Um, I didn't grow up in a religious household. Uh, so, so I know maybe some of your viewers,
00:43:27.820
maybe they're Christian or they're Catholic and there's this sort of stigma around masturbation.
00:43:31.160
I just don't agree with it. So I think it's totally fine. Um, what's important is the frequency
00:43:36.900
as you get older. Um, and also what are you masturbating to? Um, that I think is, is,
00:43:45.400
is the real crux of the issue. And we talk about porn a lot and I truly believe that porn is the worst
00:43:50.020
thing that has ever happened to men for a variety of reasons. Number one, it teaches you all the wrong
00:43:54.100
moves. Number two, it creates tremendous amounts of sexual dysfunction.
00:43:57.240
And this has all been proven and it's all in science, ED, performance, anxiety, premature
00:44:01.260
ejaculation, et cetera. It's like a drug. So with, with a man who is, um, not in a partnership,
00:44:07.640
um, who may not have access to, you know, women or dating or sexual experiences, um, that man may
00:44:14.340
be more inclined to masturbate, you know, more regularly. And I always just say like, you know,
00:44:19.480
if my whole thing is like, is no, is no porn. I just don't think it's helpful at all. And some
00:44:24.540
people are like, Oh, well, you know, what about every now and then? Sure. But I don't think you
00:44:28.960
need it. You know, um, if you're in a partnership and you are finding yourself masturbating more
00:44:35.320
often than you want, you're not going to have as much energy and that drive and that will to then
00:44:39.680
be, be more sexually, you know, um, intimate with your partner. And so, um, a personal story when I
00:44:46.060
like was like 27, 28 years old, I was in a relationship and I saw myself watching more and
00:44:50.980
more porn and I was masturbating to porn and then I wouldn't have the energy or the drive or like
00:44:55.660
the real desire to be intimate with my partner. And I saw that and I, you know, I was just sort
00:45:00.080
of like super aware of it. I was like, this doesn't seem right. And then I ended up stopping
00:45:04.360
watching porn. Um, I know I still, you know, masturbate every now and then, but not all that
00:45:09.420
regularly, but I don't watch porn. I'm not using that stuff to sort of fuel that, but masturbation is
00:45:14.980
okay. The frequency of it needs to be monitored. Um, and as you get older, it should be less and less
00:45:20.500
and less, especially as you release. Right. So I talk a lot about edging or like semen retention
00:45:25.300
and it's just a practice where you are not releasing as often as you are masturbating.
00:45:31.700
Right. So it's, you know, maybe 60% of the time or 50% of the time or 70% of the time. Um,
00:45:37.940
and I do that because I noticed personally that when I release, and I know a lot of men do,
00:45:43.000
you get into the sort of the sleepy puppy, you get prolactin release in your body. Of course,
00:45:46.620
you become a little bit lethargic, a little bit tired. Like you don't have that drive,
00:45:50.000
that gusto. So when you don't release, and if you think about that, that's why fighters don't
00:45:54.620
release, you know, to a couple of like the week before the fight, cause they want all that juice.
00:45:58.080
They want all that, you know, that energy inside them. So, um, I would say if you're having sex
00:46:04.000
regularly with your partner, you definitely don't need to masturbate. Um, if you're not having sex
00:46:07.900
regularly with someone, um, you'll do it. But on a frequency that is, you know, based off of your age
00:46:12.720
and your level of health, um, younger guys obviously can afford to do it more. And as you get older,
00:46:17.580
it's sort of less and less. And I have some of this stuff, I have like a guide actually of like,
00:46:21.620
you know, a protocol of how often, um, you, you should release based off of your age and your
00:46:26.960
level of health. Um, that could be helpful, um, to look at. But, um, you know, I've got guys who
00:46:32.200
are in their sixties who are masturbating to porn three times a day. And I'm like,
00:46:35.140
I just don't, I don't see the benefit of that. I don't think that that's super healthy for,
00:46:40.320
you know, for a variety of reasons. And, and, and, and, and almost seems like it would be
00:46:44.020
addictive at that point. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's that level of addiction. It's that obsessive,
00:46:51.360
not of obsessiveness. It's all of that. Yeah. Yeah. And, and the, the, the biggest thing that
00:46:56.880
I find with my DMS, I get thousands of DMS a week is men at all of all ages, 15 to 70, um, are
00:47:07.000
addicted to porn and it's causing a tremendous amount of dysfunction in our lives. And it's making us
00:47:13.300
not as vital men, not as, um, competent men, not as sort of like a highest, our highest level of,
00:47:20.080
of being a man where it's hard to do when you're addicted to watching porn. Um, cause you're wasting
00:47:24.880
your time, you're wasting your life force. You're not probably doing some of the things that you
00:47:28.700
should be doing to elevate your life. So that's the biggest thing that I see. And it's sad. I've got
00:47:32.800
guys in their twenties who have ED like that never used to happen. Yeah. I mean, that's the crazy
00:47:37.340
thing. Yeah. Well, that, and then dwindling, dwindling testosterone rates. And I mean, this,
00:47:41.960
this stuff is all, is all a problem. And I think a lot of it can be traced back to sexual dysfunction
00:47:46.640
with, uh, with pornography. You know, you said guys are learning all the wrong moves,
00:47:52.080
which I think a lot of men will hear that and think that's a little counterintuitive because
00:47:56.080
they'll say, this is where they learn how to do it best, right? They learn all these techniques or
00:48:01.200
tips or whatever it might be. But you're saying, no, they're learning the wrong things. So help me
00:48:06.940
understand the difference. Porn is a movie. It's not a real sexual experience and they film it over
00:48:14.100
a number of hours over a course of a day or two days. Right. Um, and so just, just like, um,
00:48:21.060
anything is to take that in mind, you can learn some of the moves like of what they're doing. But
00:48:28.040
what I always find when I talk to women, women can tell when a man watches porn by the way that they make
00:48:34.680
love. And the vast majority of women don't like having sex like they do in porn, right? It's too
00:48:41.720
hard. It's too fast. There's no enough foreplay. Um, and sure you can learn some things, but the
00:48:48.920
speed at which it's happening and the visceral video nature of the video, right. And how fast
00:48:54.680
and hard it goes, um, is something that trains guys in a, in a very negative way. And it creates
00:49:00.560
neuroplasticity changes in their brain. What that means is the brain is actually changing the way
00:49:06.220
that it is perceiving this information. And it's creating an experience inside where it says, okay,
00:49:11.100
this is what sex is supposed to be like. And so when a guy who watches a lot of porn goes and has sex
00:49:15.720
with their partner, it's too fast. It's too rough. There's not enough attention paid on the female
00:49:19.840
because they're not realizing that that's not actually real, right? It's just a movie. It's just like,
00:49:24.400
it's a, it's a, not an actual experience. So, um, sure you can use, you know, the, a move or this
00:49:31.920
or that, but it becomes performative, right? Women can feel that when you're not actually present and
00:49:37.240
connected in the experience and listening to her body and understanding what she's saying to you
00:49:42.600
verbally and non-verbally, right? If you're just sort of like, oh, I'm going to do this move and I'm
00:49:46.120
going to do that move. That's not what women want. Women don't want that. They want you to be
00:49:50.840
connected with them, right? And then go slow because again, that the water boiling thing
00:49:56.460
and have the experience of foreplay and revving the engine up to the point. And then obviously
00:50:01.700
like there's points where you can have harder and faster sex, right? But that's not the beginning.
00:50:06.020
That's like, that's well into the experience, right? And most men can't even get, can't even
00:50:10.080
get there because they have premature ejaculation, right? Because they're watching porn and they have
00:50:14.320
sexual dysfunction. So I would say that, you know, um, porn is going to create a tremendous
00:50:20.500
amount of negative ramifications for men also in the self-worth issue. Like, right, like you're
00:50:24.920
watching guys that have been selected because they're hung like a horse and they can come all
00:50:29.320
day and whatever, all the stuff that they're doing. And then a guy's like, the guy's like, oh,
00:50:33.020
I'm not enough. I don't have, I don't look like that. And I can't do that. And so they have
00:50:39.740
performance anxiety because they get into the experience with a partner and they're like, they're
00:50:43.380
trying to do all this stuff and they can't. And it just creates a lot of, it's like this negative,
00:50:47.700
vicious cycle of, of negative programming. So, um, I just, I really encourage guys, um, to, to,
00:50:55.900
to not watch that because it's not helping anybody, you know, it's really not, but you
00:51:02.140
talked about something else interesting. I'll touch on this. So I was just going to say it. It's,
00:51:06.580
it's always interesting to me to see guys just fight tooth and nail for their pornography,
00:51:11.140
you know, and they'll make up all sorts of weird justifications and excuses. And to me,
00:51:16.880
I'm, I'm thinking to myself, like, what is the positive? Like, what is the net positive? If you
00:51:21.640
can explain a net positive, then, okay, let's discuss it. But I, I can't think of one. Like,
00:51:27.920
I can't think of one. It's like, oh, this makes me better in this way. It just doesn't seem like it
00:51:33.100
exists. It, it, it really doesn't. And I think someone who would try to fight for something is
00:51:39.480
really just not, um, acknowledging like the, the, the shadow part of them, right. Of like what they
00:51:45.380
really need to work on. Um, you know, the porn makers, they know exactly what they're doing.
00:51:50.140
They know that they have to keep increasing the level of intensity of the, of the videos
00:51:54.800
because you need that novelty for that dopamine hit to go up. That's what, that's what they have
00:51:59.180
to keep hitting that, that dopamine rush. So, um, yeah, it's, it's not a good, but there's something
00:52:04.800
else you talked about before was like the dropping tea and the dropping sperm counts and then the
00:52:08.620
addiction to porn and, you know, men we're facing a really interesting time right now,
00:52:14.680
right? We're in this battle for our, our testosterone. We're in a battle for our sperm
00:52:19.480
health. We're in a battle for our time, like not watching porn. We're in a battle, you know,
00:52:23.320
this high cold concept of hypergamy, right? Which is like, we need to elevate ourselves as men so that
00:52:27.600
we can be an attractive mate for a female partner, right? Of like making ourselves the best that we
00:52:32.640
can be financially, you know, uh, uh, emotionally, um, physically. And so the, the porn piece is a
00:52:40.540
huge part of it, right? Cause it saps our energy. It saps our libido. It saps our drive. And we start,
00:52:46.400
you know, not going out into the world and trying to find a partner because we're satiated. We've,
00:52:50.580
you know, jerked off three times at home. Like, are you going to go out and have energy to go try to
00:52:55.500
find a partner? Like, I mean, maybe if you're 18, but like, you know, it's, it doesn't,
00:53:01.340
it doesn't work that way, you know, as you get older. So we have to be mindful with how we're
00:53:05.600
spending our time, right? And are you doing something that's going to make you the best
00:53:09.540
version of yourself? And I stand firmly by the fact that like watching a lot of porn is not making
00:53:14.780
you that highest version of yourself. And I think, you know, the guys that listen to your podcast
00:53:18.320
because of what you talk about, they all are striving for that, right? It's like, how, what can I
00:53:22.480
do? What can I cut out so that I can continue to elevate and be the best man that I could be?
00:53:26.960
Um, and this sexual stuff is, is a, is a key driver for that because sexual energy drives us men.
00:53:33.260
That is how we make our decisions indirectly or directly, whether you want to admit it or not,
00:53:37.180
you make a lot of decisions from that part of your body. I was like, you know, be physically fit so
00:53:42.380
I can be, you know what I mean? And so if we acknowledge that it's like, okay, sexual energy
00:53:47.380
is driving us. It's the most important force we have. We can create life with this energy down here,
00:53:51.640
right? Well, what else can I do with that energy when I'm cultivating it and not dissipating it three
00:53:56.300
times a day to, to some movie, right? That's screwing up my brain, you know?
00:54:01.880
Yeah. I, I, I mean, I think we're on the same page and I've had enough other people on here to talk
00:54:06.420
about the dangers and destruction that come along with that. So I'm really glad we're hitting on that
00:54:10.660
because I think more people are becoming aware of it too. You know, we are kind of pushing up against
00:54:15.120
time a little bit. I do have a question I wanted to ask you because, and I think we maybe danced
00:54:19.840
around it a little bit, but we didn't address it specifically. Um, there's a lot of desires that men have,
00:54:25.140
and maybe it's for some of that kink, like we're talking about, whether it's, you know, light bondage
00:54:29.740
or role play or any number of things, right? That I think are completely appropriate and healthy in
00:54:35.400
the right context. Um, but they are afraid to bring it up. They're afraid to present it. They, they want
00:54:44.200
to try new things and do new things with their partner, but they just don't. And they end up being
00:54:50.200
just completely frustrated sexually and in other ways because they're unwilling or unable to express
00:54:55.360
themselves. So the thing that I have found in all of this and in life is authentic communication
00:55:06.340
and being able to find a way to express who you are as a man without shame or guilt or suppression or
00:55:12.860
repression. Right. And, you know, there's a lot of things that we as men need to work through
00:55:17.360
in order to get to a place where you can confidently and comfortably share and ask and inquire, like,
00:55:23.300
and say, Hey, here are the things that I desire. Right. When does a man ever, when does a woman ever ask
00:55:27.580
like, what is it that you desire? Right. And so really tapping into that as men saying, huh, what is it
00:55:34.420
that I want? What is it that turns me on? What is it that I might light up from that I haven't experienced
00:55:40.560
before? And so getting to the place where you've moved past some of that, you know, suppression,
00:55:45.520
repression, the trauma that you had growing up as a man. Right. And then moving into a place where I am
00:55:53.300
comfortable sharing, expressing who it is that I am because I'm comfortable with myself. I've invested
00:55:58.340
enough in myself and I'm confident enough in myself that rejection isn't going to take me away from who I am
00:56:04.020
because I'm authentic in this. I'm a man who loves X, Y, Z. I have a client of mine and he's a, he's a successful
00:56:09.980
business guy. And there's another part of him and he, you know, he's, he's into, he's into swinging and
00:56:15.580
he's into eroticism and he's into, um, all sorts of other things. And he was having a shift. He was
00:56:21.080
having a crisis internally. Cause he's like, how can I be this standup good guy? You know, everyone
00:56:25.940
looks up to in this way. And yet he had this religious thing that was keeping him from, Hey,
00:56:30.640
I actually really liked this part. I enjoy these sexual experiences, you know? And, and so it's about
00:56:36.800
a being comfortable with the fact like you have to own all of yourself. You have to own, you know,
00:56:41.840
the lust, the greed, the sexual deviance, because that's, that's what makes us human. You know,
00:56:46.000
it's okay because we're here and we're here, we have to be here for it. And if you can own that stuff
00:56:50.940
and then come from, again, a heart centered place where you're communicating, um, with someone like,
00:56:56.460
I actually really love this and I would love to try this. And is this okay with you? Right. And having
00:57:01.320
those conversations, I think earlier on in a partnership, as scary as that might sound can
00:57:09.180
be helpful because if you go five years without ever expressing your desires and your needs in a
00:57:14.440
sexual sense, that's going to be maybe even really much harder to then have that conversation. It's
00:57:20.100
like, Oh, by the way, I like this and this and this, you know, and the partners would be like, Whoa,
00:57:23.940
well, you never, you never mentioned this before. Like it would have been nice. Right. It would have
00:57:28.440
been nice if you had said like, Hey, by the way, so I think there's a fine line of, um, you know,
00:57:34.120
again, and you can make it a fun game, right? You know, ask chat GPT list 50, 50 kinks or ask Google,
00:57:40.740
like, what are 50 kinks? You put them on a piece of paper and you go through and you say, Oh, like,
00:57:44.660
this is a yes, no, maybe, or it's a green, red, yellow, right. Of like green means go yellow means
00:57:49.140
maybe. And the red means stop. And then having that conversation, you know, earlier on and also saying
00:57:54.840
like, Hey, sexuality is part of us. It's who we are. And we all have different desires and not
00:58:00.440
shaming the other partner or making them feel badly for what it is that they might like,
00:58:05.400
because that's, that's the key. Cause again, as you said, whatever kind of reaction you're going
00:58:09.900
to have is going to create the next reaction to that partner. So you just have to have an open mind,
00:58:14.560
but not be afraid to express who you are and then find a partner that's really into that. Right. And
00:58:20.800
that's, that's the case. You want to find someone who's actually in alignment. So you're not
00:58:23.680
with someone, but you're just like, and then you're going to seek it outside your partnership
00:58:26.740
because you haven't been able to express it to your partner. And that's not good either. You
00:58:30.020
know, you don't want that. So, um, it's all about men leveling up in our communication and ownership of
00:58:36.740
who we are and saying, Hey, it's okay. I'm going to own every aspect of me. And then putting that
00:58:43.040
energy out on the world. And then you're going to attract someone who is going to be open-minded for
00:58:47.440
that. Um, in its simplest terms, obviously a theory, it's a lot easier to say than in practice.
00:58:52.300
Yeah, of course, of course. Well, and I think that generally speaking, you know, most women,
00:58:59.180
you tell me if I'm wrong, but I, I believe that most women will probably be up for a lot of the
00:59:04.320
things that you're interested in. She's just waiting for you to initiate. She's not going to
00:59:09.260
bring it up. You have to bring it up. You have to lead. And she's willing to follow. She's willing
00:59:14.580
to do that with you because she loves you and cares about you, but you've got to be assertive.
00:59:18.440
That's what she wants out of you. Exactly. It's, it's the male container creating the
00:59:25.100
environment where it's safe to communicate and express your needs and desires. And the
00:59:30.240
woman will follow into that. Let's re I know you're on a time constraint, Jackson. So let's
00:59:36.200
wrap up right now. If you'll let the guys know where they can connect with you, that would be
00:59:40.680
great. Yes. Um, website is naturaljackson.com and my Instagram is get natural Jackson, same thing for
00:59:48.960
tick tock. And you can find my digital sex ed school called playbook on there on the links in
00:59:53.960
the bio. Um, thank you so much, Ryan, for having me. I really appreciate it. Awesome. Thank you,
00:59:57.920
brother. Much appreciated, man. There you go. Jackson Hightower. That was a unique one. A conversation
01:00:04.220
that really, I don't think in nine years I've really ever had. And I don't know if it's because
01:00:11.180
it's taboo or it's because something, it's something that men are some, for some reason
01:00:16.800
expected to know, but learning about sexual tension and desire and differences and distinctions
01:00:23.120
between men and women obviously is going to have a huge positive benefit in your life. So make sure
01:00:29.020
you connect with Jackson on the gram. He's very active. I like his short videos. Uh, they're very
01:00:34.060
instructional. They're very informative. And I think it'll help with you and your woman in the
01:00:39.080
bedroom and really just in your relationship in general. Uh, also make sure to check out our
01:00:44.240

01:00:49.220
