Today we discuss the Our Intimate Choices worksheet, a communication tool designed to facilitate conversations about boundaries, preferences, and comfort levels in a couple's sex life. We also touch on holiday etiquette and the role of sex toys as stocking stuffers. It is important to have open and honest communication in marriage and the benefits of using tools like the Our Intimate Choices worksheet can enhance both intimacy and understanding between spouses. Takeaways Be aware of your surroundings as overnight guests in someone else's home. When giving sex toys as gifts, keep the recipient's comfort level and preferences in mind. Open and honest communication is essential in a marriage, especially when it comes to discussing boundaries, preferences, and comfort levels in the bedroom. The Our Intimate Choices worksheet is a great tool for couples to explore and clarify their desires and expectations in their sex life. Episode Chapters

Today I welcome guest Dean Pohlman, the founder of Man Flow Yoga. Dean shares his unique journey into the world of yoga, which started accidentally with a fitness-focused class that turned out to be more challenging and beneficial than he expected. We discuss how yoga is often overlooked by men who prefer intense workouts for building muscle, but Dean emphasizes that yoga's slow, controlled movements, body awareness, and breathing also lead to functional strength and improved mobility. He highlights that yoga not only helps address weaknesses and build muscle differently from traditional weight training but also makes the body more efficient and less prone to joint strain during other workouts.

Dean and I switch gears a little and focus more on the sexual wellness aspect of men and how yoga can assist in our experiences in sex. You won't want to miss this conversation. Enjoy the show! Spo

Hello, Nation! I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Wyatt Fisher, a licensed psychologist and marriage counselor. In this episode, we discussed a powerful tool for couples called the "Bullseye Question," which can help couples communicate effectively and strengthen their relationship. The Bullseye Question involves setting aside five minutes each day to give and receive constructive feedback from your partner. This allows couples to communicate openly and honestly about what's working and what's not in their relationship, without feeling defensive or attacked. Dr. Fisher explains that the key to making the Bullseye Question work is to approach it with a mindset of growth and self-improvement, rather than criticism or blame. By asking each other "what could I have done better today?" couples can create a safe space for feedback that is focused on growth and improvement. We also discuss its benefits, including how it can help couples develop stronger communication
