The Better Sex Podcast ~ Unfiltered Conversations

Better Art = Better Sex? Does becoming a better artist make you better at sex? And does becoming better at sex make you better at art? According to this week's guest, Artist and Sex Coach Rafael Martinez, the answer to both questions is yes - and he's here to show us how that's possible. In this episode, Rafael and I explore the relationship between sex and art, what Kundalini energy has to do with both, and how we can use both to heal ourselves and feel more fulfilled. Join Rafael and me as we discuss: The impact our creativity has on our relationships What Kundalini energy is and how it affects art and sex The mind-body connection Why numbing emotions doesn't work - and what to do instead\ How to use emotional intelligence to learn about our bodies Dealing with the "inner critic" - both in and out of the bedroom What to do when fear kicks in The connection between sex and art Rafael's recommended technique for better sex How to "practice" sex Having compassion and patience with yourself on your sexual journey About Rafael: Rafael Martinez, born in Colombia and raised in New York City, has been an artist all his life and a coach for over nine years.

I often talk about my Leather Daddy or my BDSM mentor I am beyond thrilled to have Ken as my guest. Though he's always had a love for tying people up, Ken Zane didn't connect with the BDSM aspect of this affinity until he was stationed in Germany. There, he found an amazing community that introduced him to BDSM play - and unlocked his passion for being Dominant. But the more BSDM communities Ken explored, the more he found a lot of other Doms played in very unsafe, inattentive ways. So, Ken did what any good soldier would do - he formed a lesson plan. Ken traveled around the country teaching Doms everything from how to build trust, use tools, and become a better communicator during play. In this episode, he takes us through some of his most essential teachings and gives us an insider look at what makes up a REALLY good BDSM dynamic. Join Ken and me as we discuss: playing dominant and submissive at parties on Capitol Hill why surrendering yourself to power and submission can feel so freeing the sexiness of solid boundaries how BDSM & sex relate to each other what needs to happen to ensure a positive and safe BDSM experience the importance of trust and communication in BDSM how to check in with each other - without ruining the moment what most Doms get wrong about being dominant How Ken's experience in the military affects his Dominance style Connect with Ken DCBlade@aol.com is good.
