Summary

The sexual dynamics between the sexes aren t something that we address as often as we should. It's something that impacts men and women on a daily basis, but we're simply expected as men to know how to speak to the opposite sex in terms of sexual attraction and intimacy. This often leads to frustration in the bedroom and beyond. My guest today is Jackson Hightower, a sexual mastery expert who works closely with men in building intimacy and sexual connection between man and woman.

00:00:00.000 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.
00:00:53.880 You're a man of action.
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.
00:01:10.040 This is your life.
00:01:11.120 This is who you are.
00:01:12.540 This is who you will become.
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.
00:01:21.740 I am Ryan Michler.
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
00:01:56.080 knowledge and their wisdom.
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
00:02:25.380 Knife Company.
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 to carry around daily, or you need something for your hunting, or out in the field, or you
00:02:37.840 need something in the kitchen as you're making your food for your family and yourself, look
00:02:42.120 no further than Montana Knife Company.
00:02:44.320 All of their knives are 100% made in America.
00:02:47.740 I know everybody up there.
00:02:49.100 I've been to their facilities.
00:02:50.380 I've seen the work they do.
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 So again, if you're looking for a knife, check it out at montananifecompany.com and use the

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
00:03:23.080 dynamics between men and women.
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.
00:03:51.680 Enjoy this one, guys.
00:03:53.780 Jackson, what's up, brother?
00:03:54.860 Thanks for being on the podcast today.
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.
00:04:04.360 All right, let's get to it.
00:04:06.640 Okay, man.
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
00:04:17.240 in broad generalities, right?
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
00:04:27.240 that's difficult for men to talk about?
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
00:04:40.040 some jokes here and there.
00:04:41.160 Correct.
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.
00:05:01.500 We're never taught these skills.
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.
00:05:15.800 We're never taught those skills growing up.
00:05:17.760 We, we watch a lot of corn.
00:05:19.100 Well, I watch a lot of porn, I should say.
00:05:21.000 And it teaches us all about the wrong things.
00:05:23.060 You're used to saying that because, because of Instagram, right?
00:05:26.160 Yeah.
00:05:27.280 On social media, I say porn.
00:05:29.040 So I'm kind of like, it's a different language.
00:05:30.880 I'll, I'll use porn over here.
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.
00:06:06.480 I can, I can improve myself here.
00:06:08.500 And then finding other men who, um, who are also in that same, you know, uh, framework where
00:06:13.980 it's like, we can learn this stuff together.
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.
00:06:26.420 Most of the time.
00:06:27.360 Yeah.
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
00:06:42.420 women do.
00:06:43.680 So a lot of guys are probably thinking in themselves, what's to learn, get in there, get it done,
00:06:48.380 get off, get her off and you're done.
00:06:50.120 Whereas women see it as more, again, generally speaking, a more bonding, emotional, not
00:06:56.120 transactional, but relational activity.
00:06:59.020 Yeah.
00:06:59.520 Yeah.
00:06:59.960 Um, men and women speak different languages.
00:07:02.700 Uh, and so when men go into the experience of, of, of sexual intimacy, usually they have
00:07:08.280 a goal in mind.
00:07:09.060 Um, and it may not even be to, to get her off.
00:07:12.200 It may just be like, Hey, I need to, to, to get off myself.
00:07:14.900 Um, but, but you're right.
00:07:17.820 You know, the way that women approach a lot of this stuff is emotional based.
00:07:21.520 Um, it's more feeling based.
00:07:23.160 It's more, I want trust.
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.
00:07:36.440 You know, women are like water, right?
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
00:07:44.600 can actually be ready and primed men.
00:07:47.220 We, you know, fortunately or unfortunately, we don't need that, right?
00:07:50.260 We're like fire.
00:07:50.960 We're ready to go.
00:07:51.700 And we want to get to it really quickly.
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.
00:08:09.320 And that doesn't necessarily mean physical.
00:08:10.720 It can mean other things.
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
00:08:21.400 women, right?
00:08:22.380 Women are being entered by us.
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
00:08:35.460 guys.
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
00:08:52.840 before.
00:08:53.140 You talk about foreplay, not just being physical foreplay.
00:08:56.940 So what would be an example of that?
00:08:58.780 Is that, is that flirting?
00:09:00.740 Is that sexual tension throughout the day?
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?
00:09:11.720 All of the above.
00:09:12.800 You know, I, I tell guys like foreplay starts the moment that you're finished, right?
00:09:17.220 To the next experience.
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
00:09:28.240 women, what men are direct and we're linear.
00:09:32.280 We like to go from a to B women are indirect.
00:09:37.240 They communicate indirectly.
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.
00:10:09.080 So it's, it's verbal communication.
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
00:10:16.900 you, um, prefer to receive or give love.
00:10:20.000 And there's five of them.
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
00:10:29.980 and letting them know how you feel about them.
00:10:32.080 There's, um, quality time, right?
00:10:33.920 Which is just spending time with a person, um, doing whatever it is that you may be doing
00:10:38.560 with each other.
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
00:10:46.740 make their life easier.
00:10:48.340 Uh, and then there's, um, gifts, which is like, you know, giving someone, you know, a
00:10:52.520 present or whatever it may be.
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.
00:11:00.720 Right.
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.
00:11:25.260 You can't just do the same thing to everybody.
00:11:26.640 Right.
00:11:26.980 You have to have that contextual awareness.
00:11:29.540 So it's hard because there's a tremendous amount.
00:11:32.720 Good.
00:11:33.480 I was just going to say, that's a challenge because the way, for example, the way I receive
00:11:37.540 it, like you said, physical touch.
00:11:39.320 And for me, the secondary would be words of affirmation.
00:11:42.080 That's me personally.
00:11:43.720 So it's easy for me to assume that everybody else feels the same.
00:11:50.480 I do.
00:11:50.980 So when she's wanting to feel loved, I just give her physical touch and words of affirmation,
00:11:56.760 but it's quality time is my girlfriend's.
00:11:59.980 She's big into quality time, which is good.
00:12:01.940 I don't, it's not like I don't, I don't want to do that.
00:12:04.580 I do.
00:12:05.480 But if I know it, then I can cater my love language to what makes her feel comfortable
00:12:10.840 or loved or appreciated.
00:12:12.820 Exactly.
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
00:12:38.400 women operate differently.
00:12:39.540 They think differently.
00:12:40.200 They feel differently.
00:12:41.040 They communicate differently.
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
00:12:51.360 visual, we're visual creatures, right?
00:12:53.080 So we love images of, of women, right?
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
00:13:02.840 us dick pics, right?
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
00:13:14.120 going to like that image of me.
00:13:15.240 And the reality is it couldn't be further for the truth, right?
00:13:18.340 They don't want to see that.
00:13:19.680 That doesn't turn them on.
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,
00:13:46.840 feelings towards me.
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,
00:13:52.680 right?
00:13:52.960 Or like, I want to have sex with you.
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.
00:14:04.380 You do a lot of other things at the beginning.
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
00:14:19.200 and her arousal centers.
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
00:14:36.200 with some of these things?
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
00:14:46.340 effective for you.
00:14:47.640 You're going to get what you want.
00:14:48.940 And also she's going to get what she wants.
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
00:15:02.620 and he tried something new.
00:15:03.980 So how do you get to the point of confidence to experiment and try some of these things
00:15:09.520 with your partner?
00:15:10.560 I think the first is, you know, rejection can be really helpful and it can be really
00:15:16.320 supportive.
00:15:16.940 And as men, we don't like to fail.
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
00:15:27.500 college and I like flat out, I failed.
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.
00:15:36.520 And then that got me started on this journey.
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,
00:15:45.900 some of it may not.
00:15:46.720 But the reality is you're moving towards a place where you're continually building a
00:15:50.900 better and better foundation.
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,
00:15:56.820 you're already in your partnership, right?
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.
00:16:06.560 Right.
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?
00:16:26.780 You have 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?
00:17:26.220 Absolutely.
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
00:17:51.460 to say, Hey, I see what you're doing.
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?
00:17:58.900 Cause they'll, they'll get it.
00:18:00.060 They'll say, okay, cool.
00:18:01.060 Let's try this together.
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
00:18:16.320 be exploratory.
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
00:18:26.080 partner.
00:18:26.640 Well, and it's interesting too.
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
00:18:38.260 likes or doesn't like and vice versa.
00:18:40.260 But I can only speak for myself.
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.
00:19:04.560 That's what we want to do.
00:19:06.200 Exactly.
00:19:06.800 Exactly.
00:19:07.540 The key is with all this stuff is communication and it's not always what is said, it's how
00:19:13.440 it's said.
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.
00:19:37.540 Right.
00:19:38.340 Men have a tremendous amount of value and self-worth that's tied to their sex, their sexual energy,
00:19:44.320 their sex centers, their sexual capabilities.
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.
00:19:57.760 Right.
00:19:58.400 And it's not like hitting sides.
00:20:00.480 Um, I think that's the key.
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?
00:20:14.120 Like finding a separate space.
00:20:15.860 So you're out of that zone, right?
00:20:17.840 Where you guys are communicating about something together and saying, Hey, let's talk about
00:20:21.700 what we loved here.
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.
00:20:36.140 Right.
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
00:20:51.100 and skills.
00:20:51.960 Yeah.
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,
00:21:03.480 because it's transactional.
00:21:04.680 It's not really always about together.
00:21:07.060 Again, a lot of guys are like, I just need to get off.
00:21:09.720 And that's kind of how they view this.
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.
00:21:21.420 We're having this interaction together.
00:21:23.080 So let's make sure it's mutually beneficial.
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
00:21:49.080 may be.
00:21:49.800 If you can move it out of this transactional environment into a, Hey, this is a pleasurable
00:21:54.580 experience.
00:21:55.400 If I'm able to provide pleasure.
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.
00:22:03.400 Hey, I know what I'm doing.
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
00:22:14.220 like gets her to orgasm regularly, right?
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
00:22:27.900 know, quite regularly.
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.
00:22:40.780 Um, but yeah, the team thing is key.
00:22:43.720 Um, I find it over and over again where women ask me, like, how do I give feedback to my
00:22:48.120 partner?
00:22:48.440 I say, talk about something he did really well first, right?
00:22:51.660 It's like that, what is it?
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?
00:23:00.020 It would be amazing.
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
00:23:39.220 man solicit that feedback?
00:23:41.000 Let's say he's with a woman who maybe isn't as vocal or forthright about, you know, sexual
00:23:47.100 desires and intimacy.
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
00:24:07.780 going to make them feel badly.
00:24:09.800 And so the man needs to come from a place and say, Hey, I would love to really understand
00:24:17.100 like how this experience is for you.
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
00:24:25.480 have a genuine openness.
00:24:26.580 And I would love to hear from you where I can improve or where this experience can be
00:24:31.640 better for us.
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.
00:24:46.220 That is the key.
00:24:47.660 So if she really feels that you are there and you are present, you are ready for that feedback,
00:24:52.820 she will give it.
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,
00:25:04.620 or him becoming really defensive.
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
00:25:14.760 conversation to take place.
00:25:16.240 And we need to really own it as men and saying, Hey, we can get better at everything, right?
00:25:21.480 No one's like the ultimate in every field.
00:25:24.060 So this is an area where I know I can improve and I would love to create a better experience
00:25:27.640 for us together.
00:25:29.080 Well, I imagine also it's probably, you know, we've all heard the adage, you train people
00:25:35.680 how to treat you, right?
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
00:26:22.160 everybody's life.
00:26:24.000 You said it exactly.
00:26:26.060 Exactly.
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
00:26:59.940 the other person.
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
00:27:34.800 do.
00:27:35.440 Yeah.
00:27:35.980 It's, it's, it's interesting.
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.
00:28:03.180 I come everything from a heart centered place.
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
00:28:12.780 to do a certain thing.
00:28:13.780 And I say, yeah, maybe that works like once or something, but the reality is you're not
00:28:19.420 being an integral human.
00:28:21.020 You're not being an integral man.
00:28:22.280 You're not being authentic to who you are.
00:28:23.960 Right.
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
00:28:44.960 a journey that takes effort and work and time.
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
00:28:57.660 are as a man and what it is that you want.
00:29:00.080 And if you are just looking for a one night stand, quick things like that's go somewhere
00:29:05.120 else.
00:29:05.500 Right.
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
00:29:18.820 once or something like that.
00:29:19.780 You know what I mean?
00:29:20.480 It's, it's an effort.
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
00:29:38.340 an amazing experience together.
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.
00:29:48.700 And it's not what it's about.
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

00:30:52.740 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
00:35:17.180 increases.
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 sponsors and friends over at montananifecompany.com and use the code order of man when you do. And then
