So, what happens to a lot of people is that, you know, he wants sex all the time and she's like, and then when she has sex, she's like, oh, I'm really glad I had sex. Some people are lucky and they naturally have most of the 15 different kinds of orgasms that both men and women can have are learned.

These can actually help to undo a lot of the radiation damage that dirty EMF, cell phones, Wi-Fi routers, et cetera, can cause.

Health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living, biohacking, and much more.

My name is Ben Greenfield. Welcome to the show.

Check, check, mic check, one, two, three, four.

I thought maybe it worked better for me to record this podcast in a French accent because it is about six.

Sex, yes, we're talking about sex on today's show. So if you have kids in the car and you don't want them to mature by three years during your minivan commute to school, you may, just may want to consider stopping and explaining to them what sex is and how babies are made and why people would talk about making that whole experience a heck of a lot more fun, which you're gonna learn about in today's show with my guest, Susan Bratton, who is a sex pert. See what I did there? She's a sex pert. And also me, who is a biohacker, I guess you would call me, I hack sex.

So Susan, just so you know, she's been on my podcast before. She did a podcast with me where we talked about, of all things, scream creams and testosterone placement, multiple orgasms, vaginal stimulating devices, special salad dressings for better erections, and a lot more. I was also a guest on her sexual soulmates summit. There's some alliteration for you. And I will put a link to Susan and everything that she does because she has written books.

She has some very straightforward lovemaking device, a pretty fierce commitment to helping couples engage in more passionate lovemaking. And she's a real expert in this stuff. So I'm going to talk a little bit to you about some of the best things you can do to naturally optimize your hormones for better sex or better performance or better recovery or anything else. And then I'm going to turn it over to Susan, who's going to fill you in on some bedroom and sex biohacking tips. And again, all the show notes for everything that you hear are at bengreenfieldfitness.com/sexpodcast.

And let's start here. Perhaps the whole dark chocolate and red wine thing is old news for you. And you've covered your vitamin and nutrient bases. You've even gotten your hands on some avant-garde Chinese herbs. And now you want the fringe stuff, the best sexual exercises and workouts for a better sex life, with a particular focus on supplements and on food choices and lifestyle choices that would boost your testosterone, which you ladies need too, by the way. I have a whole section in my book, my new book that's coming out soon. I'm going to stop in shamelessly self-promote. It's called Boundless, a boundless book. Whole section in there on women's hormone optimization and women's sexual performance enhancement.

And I get into that about which hormones women's, women's women's women folk need and that includes testosterone. So ladies don't fret. There's plenty in this podcast for you too. So let's just jump right in. I'm going to start with a bang. Weightlifting, weightlifting specifically for your genitals. In the show notes to this podcast at bengreenfieldfitness.com/sexpodcast, I am going to tell you about this friend, Jason, I'm sorry, Jordan, Jordan Gray. Jordan Gray is a relationship expert. He's a sexual coach. He first alerted me to the idea of something called a towel technique for training your sex muscles. It's literally just like it sounds. You hang a slightly wet towel over your erection and you practice repeatedly contracting your kegel muscles to lift the towel, eventually progressing to larger and more wet towels. Kim Imani, who is also, or Anami, if I can say names today, has also been on my podcast, and she has trained herself to do something similar with women, beginning with a jade egg.

She does kettlebells and coconuts, but I think a jade egg is enough for most women. And then there's also a company called Private Gym, and they make this for guys. It's a magnetic resistance training device designed especially for a guy's junk. So that's kind of like the towel technique, but small, portable, and in my own experience, pretty effective. And it's also shockingly effective if you have like pelvic floor weakness, incontinence, things like that. This can do a really good job training your pelvic floor muscles. Matter of fact, this makes me want to stop for a second. Squeeze my kegels and my butt cheeks. I learned from Katie Bowman, when you do kegels, you want to squeeze your butt cheeks too and your lower abdomen. You got to suck it all up.
