Speaker 2

I'm Sheldon and I'm Jordan , two friends , one straight , one gay , taking on all things sex .

Speaker 1

Today , on the pod guys , we have the one , the only , Susan Bratton .

Speaker 3

Welcome . How are you , susan ? I am so good . Jordan and hi Sherman , how are you doing today ?

Speaker 2

I am so good , I'm excited . I'm so excited for this . Jordan loves you .

Speaker 3

I really appreciate that . That's so kind of you both . I'm honestly very flattered , so thank you for having me .

Speaker 1

You've been my sexology crush for about five or six years now , so it's really really great to have you on the podcast .

Speaker 3

That's kind of hot . It really is . It really is that's hot . Yeah , I love it .

Speaker 1

So today we're going to get into all things female pleasure , how to unlock it . But before we do that , you've got a really interesting journey into this whole world of sex education yourself . Can you jump into that ?

Speaker 2

for us . Yeah , that's what I want to hear about . I'm so intrigued for this .

Speaker 3

I'm a late bloomer . In every aspect of my life I've been a late bloomer . I'm in my 60s now and I have never been hotter . I've never had more orgasms . I've never been more on fire with regard to my thinking and my creativity . I've never had bigger biceps . I've never been stronger . I've hit a level of mastery . I was just joking that I'm going to cook my husband a chicken dinner because he's been gone all week and he's getting home while we're on the show and I want to go make him a chicken dinner . My cooking is delicious . There's just this nexus . If you keep yourself healthy , there's this amazing . Just everything is coming together for me in ways that are so powerful , and I've spent my life in basically tech businesses . I did a couple of decades in the Silicon Valley . I was part of startups and then went on to found the company that I'm in now , which is my own company with my husband , personal Life Media .

Speaker 3

We just celebrated our 18th year in the company , publishing , passionate lovemaking techniques and bedroom communication skills . But what's interesting about it is that I am still coming into my own as a thought leader , as a leader of my company , as somebody who wants to create a legacy for people , as someone who's training the people who work for me to become the future leaders of my business , for me to become the future leaders of my business . I mean it is just insane how many things I'm working on that . I'm like my skiing , my scuba diving , my bike riding , my weight training , my biohacking . I am just doing so many things and doing them well , am just doing so many things and doing them well , and there's a real feeling of accomplishment but also like even more pent up creativity and so many more gifts to give . And I'm saying all of this because when you're in your 60s and you start saying I'm having the best sex of my life , a lot of people are like , well , it must have been really shitty because you're old and it can't be that good .

Speaker 3

No , you're just more experienced , but it's actually , yeah , this is my point , that is why I said all those things is that it takes a life to get really good at things , and your sexual development and your sexual pleasure is on the same trajectory as mastering being a good cook or a diver or a biker or a weight trainer or a CEO or a whatever . It's a lifelong process of expansion , in this case , of your pleasure , of your depth of connection , of your ability to be present with your lover , of your ability to have what I like to call co-creative bliss and ecstasy . You don't start out lifting a 50-pound weight in ecstasy . You start out in a two-pound weight and you start to taste ecstasy . You start to taste connection , you start to taste orgasm , but over time you're like , wow , stroking my clit is making me come super well . Oh , wow , my G-spot is feeling super good and I'm having these really different orgasms having my G-spot stroked .

Speaker 3

And then you're like , holy shit , I just ejaculated . It felt incredible . And then , oh , I can replicate that now and I can be really relaxed and have all these ejaculatory orgasms . Oh , whoa , now I'm having orgasms from intercourse for the first time and I didn't do it . It took me 42 years , and now I'm . I'm having , oh , now , I learned how to ride cowgirl . And I'm like , oh , now , my dirty talk game is incredible , you know , and so it's just like what it's like . There's this just vast array of experiences that you can have in your sexuality , and what I've basically been doing for the last two decades is having them and writing it down and telling people the steps I took so they could have it too , because our body is an operating system that works the same way as everyone else's . Basically , yes , there's genetics epigenetics .

Speaker 3

There's how much sleep you had , how much crap food you ate , how much booze you drank , how do you feel about the person you're with . There's a lot of other factors , but the basics are we have 20 types of orgasms we can have . There are 50 , 100 different types of erotic playdates we can experience . So , just knowing what to do , often you can have it , and if you don't do it the first time , practice , and usually by the third time you're doing that too , and that's really what I do . I teach people how to turn having sex into making love and what all the things are that they could try . So they keep doing what I call getting on the upward pleasure spiral , where sex keeps getting better and better their whole life long , instead of swirling down the toilet like so many people's sex lives .

Speaker 2

I like that . I like that turning it from sex into love . I heard you talk about that previously and I'm like that sounds hot yeah .

Speaker 1

But I love what you picked up on there where you're talking about exploration . Yeah , but I love what you picked up on there where you're talking about exploration . I've just been writing a paper on the way the vagina is venerated , with all these different nerve endings , and the literature comes out and says there's only 27% of females that can actually vaginally orgasm , and everybody elseal clitoral orgasms to be able to do it yeah , it's it totally is because you just have

Speaker 2

to learn how ?

Speaker 1

yes , yes , and all these people . They basically go oh well , the data says that I can't do it , so I'm not not even going to try , I'm just going to buzz in with my magic wand and leave it at that and the exploration stops . And I think that's where you're coming in and saying , hey , go out there and explore , because your body's what is ? John may , was it ? John made it said your body's a wonderland , exactly you know .

Speaker 2

So , yeah , go out and explore it . But also , every as much as we all have the same like we are the same and we realize , like we're saying we've previously me being the gay man , jordan being the straight and we realize , like we were saying previously , me being the gay man , jordan being the straight man we realize , the more we talk , how similar we actually are and how it always comes down to the same thing . But also , everyone has different experiences and not everything is going to be a cookie cutter fit for everybody . So I like the fact that you're coming from your experience , knowing what you've experienced , and it's not just you going yo , you know what . I read this book and it said this , so I'm going to go with that and preach this to other people . You're talking about your lived experiences over , like you say , two decades . It's amazing .

Exploring New Sexual Frontiers Through Communication

Speaker 3

I've learned a lot from bisexual men that I've been with as lovers . And that's been really nice Men that have also been with men .

Speaker 2

I want to know more about that .

Speaker 3

Yeah , that's been nice , mostly around like pegging . You know I don't . I'm starting to get pretty good with a strap on wearing one . Yeah , good with a strap on . Wearing one , I'm getting more fluid hip movements and more ability to know where I am in space and have the strength and stamina to be delivering the sensation . In that way , when you have a strap on , you don't have the same amount of biofeedback because it's not your actual penis .

Speaker 2

That is so true . I never thought about that because it's not your actual penis . That is so true , I never thought about that .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and I had a boyfriend last year .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And he two of them . Actually , Last year , I happened to have two opportunities to have sex with two people that I had wanted to have sex with for a long time .

Speaker 2

Right .

Speaker 3

And I've been married for 33 years to my husband and we have a fantastic sex life . But we are also in an open relationship where we would kind of consider ourselves kitchen table poly , where we have people who are in our life for a long time and are our lovers , are in our life for a long time and are our lovers , but we are also open to the idea of if someone interesting comes along . That's good too , as long as we have safe sex practices . Because we do a full panel test . I'm the chief advocacy officer of an at-home collection kit STI testing company .

Speaker 3

I have been preaching the benefits and values of frequent testing testing before you put your mouth on a person's genitals or put your genitals on a person's genitals and just keeping it safe and not transferring these bacterias , viruses , mites . You know all of the things that you could do , because most STIs are transferred by skin to skin contact and so we have these very stringent rules around testing prior to intimacy . But then , once we do that and we know we're good , then we can have as much fun as we want to have and then they screen out and go on their merry way . When they go on their merry way and that's been really , really fun , and I had two people who I'd really had the hots for , and I don't know how you guys are . Do you have the hots for a lot of people or not very many people ? Does it ebb and flow ?

Speaker 2

I generally have the hots for a lot of people , or not very many people . How does it like ebb and flow ? Oh , I have . I generally have the hearts for a lot of people . I'm that guy .

Speaker 1

You do , don't you ? Yeah , I think I'm so consumed with my wife that you know she's she's like the absolute pinnacle of what I look for in a female partner . So there's very , very few people that I'll actually see walk past and go oh okay , she's turned my head , but yeah , I'm the opposite to you , whereas I'm just walking down the street . I'm like , oh , hello , what's your name ? It sort of gets a little bit weird at times .

Speaker 3

I love it when I'm like that , when I'm like oh hello , you know , when I'm like Sherman , because that's when my turn on is really high , when I'm very drawn to a lot of people , and I love that feeling . But I had both these guys . One had been married and I'd always had the hots for him and he got divorced and I was like hello do you need ? Any do you need like a rebound Fuck ?

Speaker 3

I love it , and the same thing with another guy . He was ending an 18 year relationship and , um , I was like hi , would you like to get back on the horse with me ? Would you like to get back on the horse ?

Speaker 2

with me .

Speaker 3

And it was interesting that both of them were very ass-focused men and I just didn't have a lot of experience with that because my current partner , my husband they're not that ass focused , yeah , and so I had a lot of fun new experiences with those men and they were really exciting and really different and super hot and I had all kinds of new , you know , experiments and things that I did it was really great .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I find that so cool because , like you say you , you will never stop learning . It doesn't matter how old you get , you will always have new experiences .

Speaker 3

This is so cool yeah , and I was ready for those experiences . I was just in that that time where I was like I'm gonna try some new stuff . Yeah , what do you want me to do ? Oh , you want my biggest dildo ? Okay , because I'm like here's what I have , and they're both like that one .

Speaker 2

I was like there you go , okay , new experiences .

Speaker 1

It's really really cool to hear how men have started to embrace that , and especially since covid , the .

Speaker 1

The rates of people enjoying pegging and and heterosexual men especially enjoying backdoor play has gone skyrocketing since covid um it's and I wonder , getting back to that exploration , is it the fact that people are just sitting at home bored and being like , oh well , okay , that feels okay . Or is there this new dynamic coming out and it might actually be something to do with getting a little bit older as well and thinking well , fuck the world and fuck what the rest of the world thinks . I'm gonna try it because it feels good , yeah you know , I think people are talking more .

Speaker 2

I think that's what it is . I think people , like guys , are talking a little bit more than they used to and with that , the things that they're trying , like if , if you have yours , you know your straight guy friend , bro man going , oh , you know what I tried , uh , my missus liked this and I tried it , and then that opens up for the other guy to go well , actually , you know , I've tried it too , or maybe I've thought about it and I want to try it , but that my friend saying that he's tried it , I'm going to try it . So I think it's more like that communication between friends and stuff that they're going . Oh , you know what this is something that's everybody's kind of exploring .

Speaker 3

Maybe I should try it too . I think it's podcast . Yeah , amen , that's what I think it is , because podcasts are an uncensored medium and there are podcasts for every interest ? Yes , and 75 at least . In the us , 73 percent of people now regularly listen to podcasts and 54% of them 3% or 4% of them are men , and YouTube is the number one place for discovery of podcasts now , which is interesting .

Speaker 2

Wow .

Speaker 3

And social media is censored . Maybe not X , but I think generally social media is censored . Maybe not x , but um , I think generally social media is relatively censored . You know facebook instagram , things like that , yeah and um , there wasn't really an outlet other other than pornography . And pornography is not sex education , it's literally the opposite . It's like here's what not to do to your girlfriend that you're jerking off .

Speaker 2

Exactly , exactly . We've had a whole episode on that .

Speaker 3

Good , so we're in agreement .

Speaker 2

Yeah , yeah , so I think it's the conversations in podcasts yeah , I'm with you .

Speaker 1

I believe that too . I think podcasting is actually filling that void now as well , because in the US there's all these issues around sex education at schools . Certain states have got great curriculums , other states have got very , very restrictive curriculums . It's the same here in Australia as well . But basically what's happening is we're teaching kids , hey , you can't talk about this stuff unless it's from a negative point of view in school . And then they come out of school they go searching for a little bit more information . They can't find it on facebook or x or instagram , so their next port of call is to go straight to porn . But now I think that you're very , very true where you're saying that podcasting is that new medium where people are coming in and trying to access that information and trying to get those tips around .

Speaker 2

You know pleasure and the fact , like you're saying , that it is uncensored , so you're getting , and also it's real people talk . You know when you're looking at porn , those are not , most of the time , not real people . They're trying to sell something they're actors exactly , they're actors . But when you come , when you're thinking about people that are podcasting I mean like jordan Jordan and I have been friends for over 20 years Half the time we're just sitting on here just talking absolute crap , but it's real . It's lived experiences .

Speaker 3

So yeah , I think .

Speaker 2

I agree with that , actually , yeah .

Speaker 3

So I'm dying to know , Jordan , what did you learn about female pleasure while you were getting your master's in sexology ?

Speaker 1

Okay . So we basically look at sex and relationships through a biopsychosocial lens , so we look at it from a biological point , we look at it from a social point and a cultural point and we look at it from a psychological point . So basically we skim over each one of those . But with female pleasure , it all comes down to the clitoris . Everything is clitoral , clitoral , clitoral focus . They do talk a little bit about the nerve endings within a vagina . There's the posterior fornix and whatnot , there's a G-spot and they talk , talk about all that , but it's more of a skim and more secondary , if you will , to the clitoris .

Exploring Female Orgasmic Pleasure Techniques

Speaker 1

Um , I would say and that's why I don't know , I'm I'm sort of on this journey now to to , to bust that myth that the only way to enjoy sex for a female is to do it with your clitoris and a magic wand , you know . And on the flip side , I'm trying to help guys to understand that they can be better lovers by focusing on these areas at the same time and using their communication , using their energy , using their mouths , their tongues , their words even , and how to explore female pleasure . Because , as a guy , that's really what you're looking for , um I mean regardless of of um gender .

Speaker 2

Yeah , yeah , gay , straight at the end of the day , like as a guy , you want to give someone pleasure . Because that gives you pleasure in seeing somebody's face just like contort and be happy and the moans .

Speaker 1

It makes you feel good well , jumping back to porn , though . I mean they they did a study on where the people look when they when they're watching porn and the majority of the time guys are looking at females faces , which they're trying to get that feedback of how much pleasure they're giving . So guys inherently want to give females pleasure , but we just don't know how for the most part .

Speaker 3

Yeah , exactly . Yeah , that's interesting . There's like some myths about the clitoris that I think are I don't know . I would like your guys' advice about better ways to explain this to people . Can I run some things by you and will you give me your feedback ?

Speaker 1

Yeah , sure , of course , sure .

Speaker 3

Okay , okay . So the first one is that the that all women can orgasm in all the different ways . I've counted up the different kinds of orgasms and there's over 20 . They kind of go into three categories , three big categories . One is locations to touch , like the tip of the clitoris inside the vagina . There might be multiple locations inside the vagina but frankly , the entire vaginal cavern can be activated . Everything's about activation , it's all orgasmic and this whole notion of there's 10,000 nerve endings on the tip of the clitoris yeah , that is true , but that's such a tiny little part of the whole experience where a lot of it has to be more about stimulating the erectile tissue itself . I think that's a really unsung part of learning how to have really incredible pleasure . So you've got locations to touch , you've got techniques , very specific techniques like whether that's becoming a multi-orgasmic man and getting ejaculatory choice , so you can come when you want to , and the rest of the time you're still having orgasms , but they're full body , energy type of orgasms rather than ejaculatory orgasms , which women do kind of naturally .

Speaker 3

We have lots of full body orgasms but we don't ejaculate as much . We kind of have to learn our path to ejaculation , where the men have to learn their path to not ejaculating and still having the orgasm we come at it from . And I think that is almost all societally driven , because we we both ejaculate and urinate out of our urethral canals . We both can ejaculate or have full body orgasms . I think everything we've ever seen , everything men have ever seen , is I come when I ejaculate .

Speaker 3

And so that's just how it works and they're two separate systems to the body , you know . So like there's so much that's just cultural in it , but there are these techniques . So having an expanded orgasm practice , which is a clit stroking practice that allows you to get into an orgasm and stay in an orgasm and extend the time of the orgasm , so you come for really long times and each time you come , the next time you come , you can stay in even longer and it can be even more intense . So it's like this stair step of expanding , or almost like quantumgasms they keep getting bigger , more pleasurable and lasting even longer , to the point where the only outer limit of how long you can come is when you get tired , thirsty or you just need to take a frigging break .

Speaker 3

We have this massive capacity to orgasm . So that's another technique . And then tools of pleasure , which you guys were talking about . That I think on your last episode that I listened to , which was overcoming the shame around thinking that it's some kind of crutch or you have a failure or what have you , and adding in those sensations they're just alternative sensations . There's maybe like eight to 10 different types of maybe like eight to 10 different types of sex tools that stimulate different parts of the female genital system and there's four or five that stimulate the male genital system . Just from the way our anatomy works and the way the tools work and I always encourage everybody to have all of them , like start collecting them . I mean , you open your shoe closet , how many shoes are in there ?

Speaker 2

right why ?

Speaker 3

doesn't your pleasure drawer have all those different tools too , and I think more people are getting to that point where they're like here's my array of dildos . Which one do you want , you know ?

Speaker 2

I think the stigma is coming down a bit , so people are a lot more open to actually exploring their bodies . And exploring the fact that I mean walking into a sex shop is not , as you know , embarrassing . You're not like trying to hide it anymore .

Speaker 3

Well , and you guys ? I think you're starting to have sex toys sold . What's your big department store called David Johnson or something ?

Speaker 2

David Jones , david Jones , yeah .

Speaker 3

David Jones .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

Like there's sex toys in David Jones now .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I heard something like that yeah .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it used to be that you had to go to the other side of the tracks to the adult store in the seedy , and women didn't want to do that , and so somebody was like , hey , why don't we put the toys in the department store where the ladies go for their makeup ?

Speaker 2

and it's like that's a brilliant idea , I mean and we always , we buy them direct there's a I know of many uh at our stores around my area where they they have back , literally have back entrances from the car park . So you park in the back and you walk through the back because you know of the shame of walking in there . And now you've got these big , massive ones where it's a huge billboards adult store and it's like right on the main road and , yeah , it's getting to a point where you know what pleasure is pleasure and we have to stop the stigma that we should be ashamed about it .

Speaker 3

Well , and pleasure is also something that we need to calm our nervous systems down . We're under so much stress in our society today between what's going on with our politics and what's you know , all of the pressures of social media . The pressures of social media , the fact that we now are like working 24-7 because we've got all these electronic tools and everybody's making content and everybody's an influencer . You have so many jobs to do and it can be very stressful , and orgasms are what will keep you young and happy and healthy for a lot longer in your life . But you're so damn tired you can't go have sex . It's like I just really want a glass of wine and I just want to watch TV . But you know you'd actually live longer , be happier and healthier if you initiated the sex .

Speaker 3

But , women don't like to initiate . It's our number one thing that we don't like to do . We want our men if we're in a you know pair , bonded , male-female relationship , we want our men to initiate . But the problem is men are like , do you want to have sex ? And we're like , um , no , God , I just got home , I don't like , I'm not even thinking about that . And so men are ready to go and women are not . And then he takes it as , oh well , she just never wants to have sex with me . She doesn't even like me , I don't even like her . I'm just going to be all grumpy Because he doesn't understand he has to make her nice small offers and get her ready to go . And timing .

Speaker 3

So many times I say to guys it's just your job , like taking out the trash and killing the bugs . It's just what you do . You have to do the heavy . We need you . You're the heavy lifter . We need you to do the heavy lifting to get us into our arousal Because we're way back behind you and it's nothing to do with you , it's nothing to do with me , it's literally the female operating system is not at that horny level ready to go . You know , with a hard on . Guys get fast hard-ons , women get super slow hard . As a matter of fact , women don't even know that it takes them 20 to 30 minutes to come to full arousal . And so often they're rushing themselves because they feel like they have to have sex and you know they'll have an orgasm , they'll get off and that'll be enough . And they're having like really unsatisfactory sex because they don't know that they're not even ready yet .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And when a woman gets all of the stimulation that she needs before penetration , then penetration feels incredible and she has lots and lots of orgasms too , and that is the hardest thing for people . I think that's like . My number one message is engorgement , which is what a lady boner is takes 20 to 30 minutes , and then moms are like I got to go to bed , like I'm taking care of kids , I'm working , I can't do it . I can't do it 20 to 30 minutes . Are you shitting me ? I'm not going to .

Speaker 2

I have no time for that . And then ?

Speaker 3

I'm like then use some tools , use your magic wand all over the outside of your vulva . Have your husband play with your boobs . Have him start telling you how sexy you are in the earlier part of the day . Help him get you along that curve so that it's maybe only 10 minutes instead of 20 or 30 minutes . Yeah , but don't rush the lady boner , because then you're never going to reach your sexual potential and you're going to stop wanting sex .

Speaker 1

Yeah , yeah . There's that thing that we've talked about before as well , where basically , guys have desire and then they get aroused , and the time between that is very thin , like you could basically just hold a playing card there . But for females , it seems as though they need to get aroused within the body to be able to start feeling that desire quite a lot of the time , because they've got responsive desire , not spontaneous desire like us guys do exactly I feel like as a gay man .

Speaker 2

You look , I'm kind of like more got the female side in me than jordan does , and like I see it from a perspective of as a woman . You can tell me if I'm right here . You have so much going on . You , some women are , are mums , they are wives , they are working full-time careers . They have so much on their plates that sometimes that sex is like you were saying you want the man to come and say , hey , get me there , because you've got so much on your plate .

Speaker 2

That's the last thing on your mind , whereas a guy goes to work , does what he has to do , beats a hammer , comes back and walks and he's like , okay , cool , now , now I'm ready for sex , let's do it whereas you have got all these responsibilities and constantly thinking about how you're gonna get the dinner cooked . Um , like you're saying you want to get your dinner cooked for your husband it's . You have so much going on in your head that obviously for me it makes sense that it would take a longer time for you to get there than it would for the dude . That's just like oh yeah , I'm horny let's go come on babe yeah , and and it's .

Speaker 3

it's really the physiologic um , the fact that all like in your penis , if you think about it like a banana , it's full of fruit . That fruit is that spongy erectile tissue and it gets filled really fast because it needs to lock off to hold your erection .

Speaker 2

Yes .

Speaker 3

So when the blood flows , it flows in and you get a hard on and it's fast . Yeah , it's the opposite . For women , it takes about 20 minutes to get into all the nooks and crannies because we have the same amount of erectile tissue but it's in all these little parts and so it just takes time . And there are some really good new vibrators that I am loving . They're calling they're called leons , like um , well , I like wands . I think wands are great . Yeah , um , they work really well . But some of the wands they tend to be a little bit more like .

Speaker 3

They stimulate the , the , the skin around everything rather than deep into that erectile tissue , because the erectile tissue is right under the fur , her pubic hair , the outer labia have these little balloons in them called vestibular bulbs , and the bulbs fill up with blood . These little balloons in them , called vestibular bulbs , and the bulbs fill up with blood . The clit has a tip , a shaft and two arms called crora . Those crora fill up and they go back and in and up in the vaginal area . They go along the G-spot , which is not a spot , it's a long tube . It's the urethral sponge that wraps around the urethra , which is the tube from the bladder to the exit out of her vagina , and then underneath , between the bottom of her vagina and her rectum , is the perineal sponge .

Speaker 3

So there's three erectile tissue chambers in the vagina or in the genitals , the female genitals that actually hug the vaginal cavern . But they're all these little parts and pieces and the blood flow has to come in them . And there's two ways to get the blood flow in from the outside in and the inside out , and when you do them both it works really well . So the outside , in the best way , is either hands , you know , yoni , massage , yoni being the tantric lovemaking word for the female genital system .

Speaker 3

Lingam is the word for the men's penis , prostate testicle , and I know you , you guys know , but just in case someone hasn't heard it on your show um , and you can , you can massage it . And then these new vibrators one of them is from hot octopus , it's called the pulse queen , and another is from wow tech , from womanizer , and it's called it's just called vibe , I mean I think they could have done .

Speaker 3

I think they they really left some opportunity on the table there . But um , it's just a a and fun factory had one called the leia , like lay on , but um , they've recently been acquired so their products aren't available right now . But satisfier bought them and they're going to relaunch the company . But this new kind of lay-on tool , it penetrates the skin of the vulva and it goes deeply into the erectile tissue and it stimulates the blood flow tissue and it stimulates the blood flow and if you do that like one of my favorite ways to become aroused , and even me , a sexpert who teaches this I sometimes get frustrated with my own body , that it takes me a long time to get turned on compared to my partner , and I have to literally say to myself she's going to get there , just let her do her thing and I'm talking about

Orgasmic Activation and Sexual Pleasure

Speaker 3

my Yoni .

Speaker 3

She's got a mind of her own , just like your dicks . Do you know what ?

Speaker 2

I mean , I was just about to say just like our dicks . Do .

Speaker 3

Exactly and when I , one of the things I like to do is I like to make out with my guy and have him play with my boobs , especially my nipples , which I didn't even used to like my boobs , or play with my boobs at all during sex , and now I can just come and come and come from nipple stimulation because I learned how .

Speaker 2

Oh , that's amazing .

Speaker 3

I created the neural pathways from tits to brain and I've done the same thing with my yoni , all the different parts from tits to brain , and I've done the same thing with my yoni , all the different parts . I've activated them . This is what I call orgasmic activation . You just start playing with it , you start touching it . It starts to feel good . Each time you do it it'll feel better and better . And when you kiss your lips , your tongue , your mouth , your throat , that is all .

Speaker 3

There's erectile tissue in there and it's also on a system , yes , with your boobs and your nipples and your yoni , the whole thing , those three things are a system . So when you make out , when you're kissing and you're tonguing and your partner's playing with your boobs and you could be holding a vibrator and rubbing it all around on that tissue . And I am really very good at one hand on my partner's penis , stroking him while I've got one of those lay-ons on my vulva , he's giving me nipple gasms . We're making out and that's giving me a chance to get that blood filled and that's giving me a chance to get that blood filled , because when you play with your nipples , and you kiss , it sends the blood down inside .

Speaker 3

So then you're filling it up from the inside and you're filling it up from the outside and you're getting that engorgement that swells the tissue that's your boner and that swelling when you touch that tissue and it's bigger and plump and fluffy and engorged . It has more surface area that sends more signals to your brain . Your brain is your biggest sex organ because it's the processor of the sensory signals of pleasure and the more you do that , the better the system works and the more channels get lit up to your brain . And then , just to finish it off , you have an orgasm , or 20 before bed and you've just saturated your brain with oxygen . It literally oxygenates your brain . Then you've had oxytocin . That has , You've generated oxytocin with that skin-to-skin contact and the oxytocin tamps down the cortisol or the adrenaline . You might call it adrenaline in Australia . Do you call it adrenaline or cortisol ?

Speaker 1

Cortisol , cortisol .

Speaker 3

Cortisol . Different parts of the world call it adrenaline or cortisol Cortisol , cortisol , cortisol Different parts of the world call it different things . The cortisol pushes down I mean the oxytocin pushes down the cortisol , and then you have lower nighttime cortisol . And when you have lower nighttime cortisol , you rest more deeply , you have more deep sleep . Time cortisol you rest more deeply , you have more deep sleep . Then your brain is going to detoxify and clean itself out and all that oxygenation that you put in there carries the waste out and then you have higher cognitive function , better rest , a better day the next day .

Speaker 3

You've done all kinds of things that actually lengthen your life , lower your stress , improve your happiness , reboot your nervous system . I mean it literally drives natural killer cells that come and eat up all the broken and dead cells in your body . It improves your T-cell production . It improves your IgA for your sugar regulation and your immune system function . It releases endorphins , lowering any pain that you might have . I mean it is just incredible .

Enhancing Sexual Pleasure With Nitric Oxide

Speaker 3

If you were the kind of person who was like I'm really not motivated to have sex , but if you're telling me I'll look 10 years younger and have a healthier , happier life , maybe that'll motivate me . I don't know , I'll just whatever it is . But for most people it's the heavy lift of the woman's arousal . Where she doesn't , she feels like there's something wrong with her because she doesn't get a big , fat , quick boner like her partner does .

Speaker 2

Yeah .

Speaker 3

And she needs his help to get going .

Speaker 2

Yeah . So basically , men out there , come on , step up .

Speaker 1

I think as well . There's a couple of things I want to jump on there , yeah , but one of them I've heard you talk about nitric oxide . Is it nitric oxide ?

Speaker 3

Yeah , nitric oxide .

Speaker 1

Yeah , in a form of a pill to help the lubrication with the vagina and help that arousal start a little bit easier . What's the deal with that ? Can you explain that one a little bit more ?

Speaker 3

years . What's the deal with that ? Can you explain that one a little bit more ?

Speaker 3

Yeah , nitric oxide is a gaseous signaling molecule that your body uses to squeeze your vascular system , so your arteries , your veins , your capillaries , all the little tubes that hold and push the blood around in your body . They go all the way to the ends . They look like a tree around in your body . They go all the way to the ends , they look like a tree and they have muscle called smooth muscle tissue and you don't have enough blood to go everywhere . You need it in your body all the time . So when you're thinking , your body is , or you're working , your body's pushing more blood to your brain . If you're working out you're doing squats , it's pushing it to your quads and your glutes . If you're having sex , it's pushing it to your pelvic bowl . So that's how you get your boner your body squeezes the blood down into your dick .

Speaker 2

That's what it ?

Speaker 3

does . And then when it squeezes it in there , the smooth muscle locks off and holds your firm erection . That's why erectile dysfunction is a loss of nitric oxide . And Viagra , cialis , levitra , these PDE5 inhibitors they are actually slowing down the dissipation of the nitric oxide so it holds the blood in your dick longer .

Speaker 2

Right , that's what it does .

Speaker 3

And so we make nitric oxide by eating leafy greens and beetroot cabbage , dill , arugula , you call it rocket romaine , you know all of these things . Greens mostly and the reds , but not necessarily berries . It's really beetroot for some reason , and the problem is that we have had soil depletion , nitrogen soil depletion , so there's not so much nitrogen in the vegetables anymore . Plus , as your body gets less efficient at producing everything as you age , you produce less nitric oxide . By the time you're 50 , you have half the nitric oxide you had when you were in your 20s . And then , if you're using an antibacterial mouthwash , you have these little in your tongue . There's these little valleys , crypts they call them that have these bacterias in them that take the nitrates from the vegetables and convert them to nitrites . But if you've killed off the bacteria in your mouth , thinking you're doing a good job with your oral health but you're actually killing off the good bacteria , then they can't do that conversion .

Speaker 3

Or if you're taking an acid blocker or a proton pump inhibitor because you have acid reflux . The actual problem with acid reflux is that sphincter in your esophageal sphincter and your duodenal sphincters . The sphincter system works on acid , so the acid keeps it closed so that your contents of your stomach don't come up into your throat and give you acid reflux . But it's been a misnomer . It was actually an Australian that discovered this that mostly it's a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth of H pylori . An Australian discovered this H pylori and that's what makes the acid get alkaline and makes the stuff come up in your throat . So just a band-aid of taking a proton pump inhibitor or like a zantac I don't know what your brand names are . They're zantac or whatever acid blocker tom I don't know what they're called um that .

Speaker 3

It doesn't help to do that . You actually need to change your diet . You're eating garbage .

Speaker 3

You're eating carbs and you're eating barbecue and you're eating fats and bad fats like fried foods . You're eating fried foods , white foods and sugary shit and you need to be eating greens and meats and healthy fats and so you could have any one of those issues . You're getting older , you've lost your bacteria in the mouth , you've got your stomach acids not strong enough , and all these things mean you're not making any nitric oxide so you can supplement . You've lost your bacteria in the mouth , you've got your stomach acid's not strong enough and all these things mean you're not making any nitric oxide . So you can supplement with a nitric oxide booster made from either arginine or citrulline or both , derived from greens and roots and leaves and things like that , and that's good . It's good to take a nitric oxide booster .

Speaker 3

I like to take them . I take quite a few different types . All the time I'm adding nitric oxide and eating a lot of leafy greens as well and beetroot and things like that . I cook my own beets . They're really good when you cook them yourself Just to try to keep the nitric oxide up , because it's for more than just getting a clit boner or a dick boner . It's also for being able to get that oxygen into your head . It keeps your skin nice . I mean , it does a lot of things . You need that nitric oxide . So if you're feeling like the blood is not flowing into your pelvic bowl , like you're having some flaccidness to your genitals , beef up any and all of those things that I mentioned and it will definitely help with everything from ejaculation . If you want to learn female ejaculation .

Speaker 3

Hydrating is really helpful , but also taking nitric oxide boosters really helps get that , all that blood flowing down , because the way you ejaculate you want me to say you want me to say that yes , absolutely okay um is that you get this blood recruiting down into your pelvic bowl and the blood plasma is liquid and the liquid seeps through that urethral sponge I was talking about earlier in these Skeen's glands and goes into that tube and you have a contraction and the fluid comes out .

Speaker 3

It could come out like a little dribble , a little wetness . It could come out like a spring , that kind of bubbles up out of the ground . It could come out in one little squirt or it could come out in a big , giant wet puddle that looks like a liter of water on the bed . It really just depends on your comfort with letting go , how hydrated you are , how safe you feel if you're willing to let it come out of you . And one of the nice things about female ejaculation is that it's kind of like an orgasm and a good cry had a baby . It's very releasing . It's very , very similar to when you ejaculate as a man . You know how it's like . They call it a release .

Speaker 3

Yes , yeah , you have the pleasure , but you also have that calmness that comes from it when you get off and you let go and you ejaculateulate . That's how it is for us women , too , where we just feel like , oh god , oh , that's so , oh god , it's like it just you got wrung out , you know I like that yeah , those , um yeah , those orgasms are .

Speaker 1

They're

Revitalizing Sexual Wellness Through Biohacking

Speaker 1

great . And you've also talked as well about a four-day . I'm gonna say a fuck fest , for want of a better word .

Speaker 3

Yeah , four-day fuck fest .

Speaker 1

Yeah , oh yeah , yeah To really build that understanding of your body and engorge those tissues even more , because they do keep getting engorged the more you use them right .

Speaker 3

Yeah , they get better and better and better . I mean I personally have not found an upper limit to my engorgement capacity . I haven't hit anything where I'm like , well , that's as big as that's going to get . No , it keeps getting bigger . But I also do some sexual biohacking to myself . It was funny . So I started out when I was 55 . So I'm 63 . So eight years ago out when I was 55 . So I'm 63 . So eight years ago I had a fair amount of genital atrophy and my girlfriend told me about doing P shots and O shots , which are PRP , platelet rich plasma .

Speaker 3

It's most often used for joint pain and things like that , where they'll take the growth factors from your own blood . They'll spin it into a little machine and take just the growth factors out of your blood and then , like , inject it into your shoulder or your elbow or your knee or something like that , and that sends a signal to your body to bring repair mechanisms from your own body , dropping in stem cells and things like that to come and fix that tissue and you'll be able to fix that tissue . It might take a few times to do it but it'll regenerate tissue . It's regenerative therapies and I also did one of the O shots .

Speaker 3

They call it like an orgasm shot and it didn't do much . And my girlfriend was like , look , I've had really good success with these O shots . Maybe you should get another one , because sometimes it takes more than one . Sometimes you're atrophied to the point where you need more than one and we're going to do some Gaines Wave on you . And Gaines Wave is here in America . It's a shockwave technology . That is a certain treatment that practitioners are trained on using these shockwave devices to do regenerative therapy to the genital tissue .

Speaker 3

The penis and the vulva and vagina , vagina , and that she did the combination of those two things . And then I was like , oh , wow , okay , I've gotten my sensation back and I thought , oh , I feel like this is how I used to feel when I was in my 30s , like the sensation came back to my orgasm at a level that I hadn't realized had diminished . So then I'm like what happens if I get another one ?

Speaker 2

Rampant write-up .

Speaker 3

So , just to roll out , I've had seven O-shots and then I just I love that . And now I've recently just had my own stem cells harvested and injected into my entire genital structures and it just keeps rebuilding the tissue . And now over the last eight years , between all of the stimulation I've been giving myself and getting , as well as these regenerative therapies , I have a very nice little clit boner . It's kind of like half my pinky . You can feel it because the clitoral shaft comes out from between the pelvic bone right up by the mons pubis , pelvic bone right up by the mons pubis and so the clitoris . If you open up the inner labia and you look , there's the tip of the clitoris but it has the hood on it and where the inner labia come up and meet the outer labia and they kind of go over and make the hood underneath , there you can feel the shaft of the clitoris . When you get really turned on , you can feel that shaft . And mine has grown . Mine is 10 times bigger than it was my whole life .

Speaker 3

Just in the last eight years from doing all of that work and having all of those orgasms . And the tip of the clit is very nice , but so is the shaft . It's like you know how , when you masturbate , you don't just masturbate the tip of your penis , just the glands .

Speaker 3

You masturbate the whole shaft , yeah , exactly and your perineum and your testicles and your prostate . All of that is erectile tissue inside there and all of those components . The more that you masturbate , the more sex that you have . Especially if you use a penis pump , a vacuum erection device , and you pump a couple times a week and you will enlarge your penis . It will have more blood carrying capacity , more tissue will grow . It's the same as my clitoris . There are lady pumps where we can pump our clit and our outer vulva , which is where those vestibular bulbs are underneath . So you can keep making everything bigger , sending more signals to the brain , more engorged , more pleasurable . And it doesn't have to get worse as you age . It can get better as you age .

Speaker 2

I have learned so much today . It is crazy .

Speaker 1

I just love the fact that you went somewhere with food and sex that I don't think anybody's ever really heard of . You know , you normally mention food and sex and people are like oh yeah , let's go and get a cucumber or an eggplant and that'll be that .

Speaker 2

You know , but yeah , that was really interesting get your greens to get a bigger boner yeah , get your greens . And what and and the , the mouthwash thing with the , uh , that was yeah , wow , I've learned so much , so much I mean this .

Speaker 1

This is what you're , this is what you're known for . You're known as the biohacking libido fairy let's call it . It's absolutely incredible .

Speaker 3

I think that we're going to have to get you back on to do several more shows , especially like around . There's so many questions and my selection .

Speaker 1

We could talk to you all week . But , Suzanne , this has been absolutely incredible . Where can people find you ? Where can they read your books , which you've got ? 34 now , I think , isn't it 34 books ?

Speaker 3

that you've got . Thank you , jordan , and thank you , sherman for having me . It's so nice to talk to you and I really appreciate your loving kindness .

Speaker 3

I had a guy who recently emailed me and he was having trouble staying hard and he had tried everything and I know it was the sensation loss . He had sensation loss . He was only 34 . He was a bodybuilder , he was you know , he was in good health , he ate really healthy . And I'm like , why are you getting sensational ? I was like you don't have diabetes , do you ? No , I don't have diabetes , nothing is wrong . And I said , have you ever had a back injury ? And he goes yeah , I have . I had a terrible back injury and I still have back pain every day . And I was like that's what it is . You have some nerve damage and you're not getting the sensation from your brain to your penis and so go to a pelvic therapist , a chiropractor , get help , musculoskeletal help .

Speaker 3

I bet that's what happened , and I had never gotten that question before , and so I do like the hard ones . Don't , oh God , do I like the hard ones . So don't be shy . If you've got something you want to ask me , it can be relational . You know anything . Whatever , I'm happy to answer because you're honestly .
