Summary
Take a moment to ponder this question: Do you know everything you need to know about sex? Have you figured out how to have a healthy and fulfilling sex life? If you're like 99.9% of the population, you've probably found this part of the human experience to be one of the most perplexing aspects of life.
Why are we so often powerfully attracted to the exact wrong person? Are there varied forms of chemistry between people? Can you control chemistry? Why does orgasm seem to cause a 'hangover' reaction in men? What's the deal with porn? Is it healthy, or will it undermine our relationships? Is monogamy natural for humans, and if so- is it even possible long-term? Can women learn to have casual sex without falling in love? And what about men? Are they immune to pair bonding with sexual partners?
If you've pondered any of these questions, you've stumbled on the right podcast. In this episode, we explore the topic of sex from the perspective of spiritual practice and personal development. Our guest John Gray provides answers to so many of our sexual mysteries, from a scientific, as well as metaphysical point of view. This is one that you’ll likely listen to a couple times, due to it’s content density.
Do you know someone who likes sex? Someone who has issues with sex? If so, do them a service and pass this show along. It's my belief that we could all use some help in this area, and that the world might just be a better place if we were all achieving a deeper and more meaningful relationship to our own sexuality.
Topics we discuss:
- The 4 types of chemistry and what kills them
- How hormonal duality works and affects attraction?
- The ideal mate, a pipe dream? The 80x20 rule
- What makes sex different for men and women?
- Safety & connection: understanding women's needs, and solution tools for men
- Men's biological need for feeling successful and acknowledged
- Sex is dead. Understanding the hero dynamic, vasopressin, and the flip side of pair bonding
- Understanding women's complex psychology and how to navigate
- Respect vs. appreciation: the distinction and who needs what
- Role reversal and hormone influence
- Why sometimes are we turned on by the exact wrong person?
- How childhood trauma affects our sex life
- What causes sex addiction and how to get out of it?
- What does porn do to us and how it affects our relationships, and our brain and productivity?
- What's up with masturbation and the male orgasm hangover?
- How to create attraction and polarity between a couple and how to keep it alive
- Does monogamy work?
- Do older men bond more easily?
- Can woman have sex without following in love?
- Should men practice semen retention or let it all go?

| 0:00.0 | The Lifestylist, Episode 39, featuring John Gray. |
| 0:11.5 | I'm Luke Story, a former celebrity fashion stylist and founder of School of Style. |
| 0:17.5 | For the past 20 years, I've been relentlessly dedicated to my deepest passion, designing the ultimate lifestyle based on the most powerful principles of health and spirituality. |
| 0:28.8 | The Lifestyleist podcast is a show dedicated to sharing my discoveries and the experts behind them with you. |
| 0:38.1 | Today is January 3rd, 2017. |
| 0:41.5 | My name is Still Luke Story, |
| 0:43.1 | and you are still listening to the Lifestyleist podcast. |
| 0:46.3 | I'm super pumped to wish you a happy new year |
| 0:49.3 | by delivering the great author and speaker, Dr. John Gray. |
| 0:54.1 | And the topic of today's show is sex. |
| 0:57.8 | S-E-X. I thought, you know what? We're going into a new year. 2016 was a trip. You know, |
| 1:03.6 | I want to start this thing off on a positive note. And what better topic to discuss than sex, |
| 1:10.3 | love, and relationships. So that is what we are going to do. |
| 1:14.2 | You might know John from his previous appearance on episode 13 way back in the day. I think we're |
| 1:20.1 | up to, what are we on now? Number 39. So he was one of my first guest and definitely one of my favorites. |
| 1:27.2 | This talk here is epic. Now I'm going to warn you. We are talking about sex and sometimes it gets a little bit graphic. I don't think we use too much profanity, but we're definitely talking about a lot of the technical, physical aspects of human sexuality. So if you have kids around or you're just a bit sensitive in the ears and get triggered |
| 1:44.9 | easily, this might not be the episode for you. I also want to let you know that this is kind of a long |
| 1:49.8 | one and I debated whether or not to break this into two episodes as I sometimes do. There's been a |
| 1:54.8 | couple talks that are just too good to stop and so I'll go for like two hours and split those |
| 1:59.5 | into a two-part episode like what I did |
| 2:01.8 | with Guru Jagget around Christmas. I think the last two episodes were actually those. But with this |
| 2:06.6 | one, it was just such a fluid, consistent conversation and it didn't really have a place to break it |
