Have you ever followed the "right" advice and ended up further from yourself?

That's what this episode is about — and it's also why we're now Pleasure Uprising: Desire, Attachment, and the Sex You Actually Want. The evolution of this show mirrors what happens in my practice all the time: when you stop trying to fit yourself into the frame someone else handed you, something truer emerges.

In this episode:

• What the desire gap framing got right, what it missed, and what the shift reveals
• Why the disconnection most people feel from pleasure and desire is fundamentally a cultural problem, not just a personal one
• The full scope of what we're doing here: somatic and nervous-system-based work, secure attachment, and creating the most pleasurable relationships possible
• Why trusting your own experiment — over conventional wisdom — is the foundation of real desire and genuine connection

If you're curious about what's possible when you stop performing and start pursuing your own pleasure, desire, and genuine connection, you're in the right place.
