What is sex actually and how does an expanded definition of sex help people improve their sex and love lives?
Listen to my interview with Jed Diamond from The Good Men Project.
Sadly, the average orgasm lasts between 10 and 51 seconds. You are not limited to this quick burst of pleasure though! You could orgasm for hours, and experience a heightened state of pleasure. Find out more as we talk about what orgasm actually is.
As I was working on my book, Honest Sex, I wanted to expand on what most people have learned about sex and orgasm. When I was young, I received a very biological education, rather than a sex education. My eighth grade teacher talked about the reproductive organs and showed us how to put a condom on a banana. Every Friday afternoon she told us to keep our pants on. We never talked about asking for what we want, and saying what doesn’t feel good. We did not explore emotional intimacy, consent, or how to know whether someone is a match.
If I’d had a more human- and sex-oriented type of education, it wouldn’t have taken me until my mid twenties to realize how much more pleasurable and connected sex could be. And how expanded orgasm can be.
Did you know that the average orgasm lasts between 10 and 51 seconds? But that it can actually last for hours?

Are you able to have honest conversations about sex with your partner, in ways that bring you closer together rather than push you apart?
If not, would you like to learn how?
Do you buy into the myth of happy sex, as most men do?
Listen to my interview with Bryan Reeves from Men, This Way.
How does sex become great? In Shana’s new book, Honest Sex, she counters the common misperception that we are outgrowing marriage and long term relationships by bringing an issue she has found with her clients and her own relationships — many of us have not matured enough to create the emotionally-connected, sexually-satisfying relationships we long for. Honest sex is a pathway to deepen connection and keep relationships alive.
As my book Honest Sex launches into the world, I have been more focused on sex than usual. We’ll go back to other topics in a bit, but I have two more Man Alive podcasts for you with powerful women who support men to have more satisfying sex. As you’ll see in my book, we all also expand the definition of sex. As you expand your perspective about sex it becomes more pleasurable, and you get to have more of it!
I LOVE the freedom and depth that happens in my conversations with other women who want you to have the sex and intimacy you want. In today’s Man Alive podcast, Alyssa Morin returns to talk about what we mean when we say “honest sex.” Alyssa is a somatic sex educator, relationship and intimacy guide, and founding faculty of the Institute for Erotic Intelligence.
In today’s conversation we discussed…

For Women: Modern dating doesn’t have to be a nightmare for women
Alyssa Morin is a Somatic Sex Educator, Relationship and Intimacy Guide, and founding faculty of the Institute for Erotic Intelligence. She weaves mindfulness, embodiment, soulcraft, and practical information into her work with individuals, couples, and groups. She breaks down the complexity of pleasure, embodiment, and relationship (to self, other, and the World) into understandable, actionable parts and pieces that can be worked with and made sense of, without removing an ounce of the mystery and magic of the full erotic experience.
Nearly ten years of her own exploration in sexuality, conscious relating, soul-centric practices, and Zen have led to a multifaceted approach that is co-creative and emergent. Drawn to this field of work because of a complete lack of sexual education, combined with a lineage of sexual trauma and shadow, Alyssa creates community where people can come together to explore themselves and others, to learn together, and to demystify and embody their erotic selves on their own terms, and at their own pace, with support, challenge, and connection.
