The Intimate Lifestyle

Ryan Thomas

Sex. Relationships. These two things make the world go round. We all want more. And better quality, too! But what makes relationships last? What makes great sex? Although physical skill is important, that’s only a small part of the equation. The real answer is: it’s all psychological! Although Modern SexTalks leans towards deep, introspective interviews with sex and relationship professionals, the host, Ryan Thomas also provides a variety of other episodes that are fun and simple conversations. Modern SexTalks comes from a Buddhist perspective that the source of all relationship breakdowns, sexual dysfunction, and lack of fulfillment, is the “self.” Whether you’re looking to give a woman an orgasm, open your relationship, heal trauma’s, or find an orgy, there will be something in here for you to enjoy. Brought to you by The Intimate Lifestyle, enjoy some Modern SexTalks.

    EP163: Double Dad Drama - Father Wound EP 4/5
    In this series of interviews, I talk to men who have healed their, previously horrible, relationship to their father.   Children who grow up without fathers tend to have more mental health issues, more rates of suicide, more issues in school (higher drop out rates), and a whole slew of other issues.   It's undebatable the importance of our fathers. Unfortunately, many men have either grown up with an abusive or absent father. Naturally, this creates distance between them and their dad, along with resentment, distrust, anger and sadness.   I wanted to speak with men who had gone through their pain, and healed their relationships with their fathers.    This episode shares the story of Dave Weale. His biological dad left when he was a child, and his step-father was his dad. Dave, a men's coach in Vancouver, talks about how he met his biological father. He also shares how his relationship with his step-father has improved over the years.    If you'd like to reach out to Dave, you can find him on Facebook, and that's where you can find his show about psychedelics!    If you're interested in some one on one coaching support with me, go here, and let's set up a discovery call and have a conversation.

    EP159: Warrior VS Lover, King VS Magician

    This episode is all about the King, Warrior, Magician, Lover archetypes. Every man has a King in him. And a Warrior, and a Magician and a Lover.

    If one of these "energies" is being neglected, it will sabotage your life, perhaps through procrastination on work projects. Or avoidance of hard conversations or a lot of relationship breakups. 

    When you understand which of your archetypes is being neglected, you can bring yourself back to balance and into your natural power.

    If you enjoy deep psychological work, Jungian psychology, and getting into what makes each of us tick as men, then this is up your alley.

    EP158: Opening Up to Authentic Connections

    Many people put on a mask when they make a new friend, or start dating someone. They assume that wearing a mask is the same as being private.

    But that's not true. You can still be you, but not disclose information about your thoughts or your feelings.

    If you wear a mask, you're attempting to lie to the other person, trying to control their perception of you by telling them you're something other than who you are. 

    Wearing a mask will always result in feeling unfulfilled. Even if you get what you want, you'll never feel truly seen or truly loved.

    EP157: Feminine Submission to Masculine Leadership

    This was a juicy episode with Gillian Pothier. Gillian is a depth psychologist with advanced immersion in Jungian and Archetypal psychology.

    Gillian specializes in the masculine/feminine relationship and how, in order to maintain deep passion in a relationship, there needs to be hierarchy. For instance, that hierarchy states that the man (the masculine) leads, and the woman (the feminine) submits.

    At first glance, this seems archaic in thinking but, when you listen to Gillian, she speaks not of subservient, disempowered women. Rather, she speaks of honour, and how women can honour men (the masculine) and vice versa. But, in order for us to do so, we need to accept our energetic differences. That means that one person, energetically, is going to be the leader (the masculine), and the other the follower (the feminine. Typically the woman).

    It's in our differences as men and women that we can compliment one another. If we're the same, there's nothing to compliment. But, when we give up some of our power to the other person, that can be triggering, because it's vulnerable. But it's that vulnerability that brings us closer together. 

    This episode won't suit everyone.

    If you like what Gillian speaks of, you can find her here and here.

    EP156: How To Release Emotions

    First and foremost, as a disclaimer, if you're looking for emotional healing, go to a trained therapist and/or counsellor.  Coaches can help moving forward in life, but a coach can't replace therapists/counsellors. the best combination is to work with a coach and a therapist in tandem.

    If you can't afford either, then this episode will give you a start in your emotional healing journey. I've had a lot of people ask "How can I get rid of negative emotions?" There are many ways one go about doing this on their own. This episode is a start to that answer.

    EP154: I Died....on Mushrooms

    This is a personal, and rather emotional story. I don't often share this much, so this is quite a vulnerable episode for me. But, considering how powerful my most recent experience on psilocybin mushrooms (magic mushrooms) was, I wanted to share. (this was an "Ego Death" not an actual death...but it felt like it.)

    It was by far, the most challenging spiritual journey I've endured, and also the most rewarding. I came face to face with my own mortality. 

    I don't know if this is going to be supportive.

    I don't know if this is going to be helpful.

    I did, however, simply want to share this experience because of it's profundity in my life.
