John Gray: The Master Key To Enlightened Sex #39

Take a moment to ponder this question: Do you know everything you need to know about sex? Have you figured out how to have a healthy and fulfilling sex life? If you're like 99.9% of the population, you've probably found this part of the human experience to be one of the most perplexing aspects of life.

Why are we so often powerfully attracted to the exact wrong person? Are there varied forms of chemistry between people? Can you control chemistry? Why does orgasm seem to cause a 'hangover' reaction in men? What's the deal with porn? Is it healthy, or will it undermine our relationships? Is monogamy natural for humans, and if so- is it even possible long-term? Can women learn to have casual sex without falling in love? And what about men? Are they immune to pair bonding with sexual partners?

If you've pondered any of these questions, you've stumbled on the right podcast. In this episode, we explore the topic of sex from the perspective of spiritual practice and personal development. Our guest John Gray provides answers to so many of our sexual mysteries, from a scientific, as well as metaphysical point of view. This is one that you’ll likely listen to a couple times, due to it’s content density.

Do you know someone who likes sex? Someone who has issues with sex? If so, do them a service and pass this show along. It's my belief that we could all use some help in this area, and that the world might just be a better place if we were all achieving a deeper and more meaningful relationship to our own sexuality.

Topics we discuss:

• The 4 types of chemistry and what kills them
• How hormonal duality works and affects attraction?

• Why sometimes are we turned on by the exact wrong person?
• How childhood trauma affects our sex life
