Ever feel like sex is less of a good time and more of a test you can’t afford to fail?In the words of one man from my sex research: “I’m afraid of giving a bad performance and not being invited back.”After coaching men for over a decade, I can tell you this is one of the most common things I hear behind closed doors -- and one of the least talked about. But overthinking about sex is extremely common. One review in Sexual Medicine Reviews says sexual performance anxiety affects up to 1 in 4 men.Here, Scott gets real about his own years in the overthinking trap. We walk through getting out of your head at three stages:<ol><li>Approaching someone new</li><li>Initiating with your long-term partner</li><li>During sex itself</li></ol>---We also cover a very different way to measure whether sex went “well.” Plus, a client who’d been losing his erection with his new girlfriend came back raving about the weekend he’d just had!Getting stuck in your head around sex can show up as erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), delayed ejaculation (DE) ... or as never making a move at all. It’s rarely a one-time thing, either: sometimes one awkward moment can turn into a story about what kind of man you are, and the next time gets even harder.Whether you freeze up before asking her out, hesitate to reach for your wife because it’s “been a while,” lose your erection halfway through, or finish before you want to (or can’t finish at all), getting in your head is common -- and there’s way more possible here than you’ve been led to believe.—<h2>THE MAN SHE CRAVES is here!</h2>Enrollment is now open for my brand-new, year-long program for men -- single, partnered, or anywhere in between -- who want a vibrant, passionate love life with abundant sex and deep closeness.

436: How do you get out of your head around sex? (ft. Scott Kaltenbaugh)

Ever lie there afterward wondering what she’s really thinking? The romantic night is all set up -- the hotel, the champagne, the view -- and your d*ck doesn’t cooperate. Or it’s over in three minutes. Again.Here, we back the curtain on what it’s actually like from HER side of the sheets. What have women internalized about how their sex appeal relates to his &#34;performance&#34;? My guest share about her 13-year past relationship where PE was never really discussed, as well as a deeply attuned current partner who did one simple thing early on that changed everything for her.Premature ejaculation (PE), erectile dysfunction (ED), and delayed ejaculation (DE) are some of the most common sexual struggles men face -- yet they&#39;re rarely discussed, even in men&#39;s groups. And for many, the go-to fix doesn&#39;t even work: according to a meta-analysis in Andrology, almost 50% of men who start on ED meds stop taking them within a year. A pill isn’t the whole story.But don’t worry -- there’s way more possible here than you’ve been led to believe.Whether you lose your erection halfway through, you finish before things have really gotten going, you avoid initiating because you’re scared of what’ll happen, or you’ve just stopped bringing it up at all, trouble in the bedroom is common. But with the right guidance, it can change.If you’ve been quietly white-knuckling your way through sex, or avoiding it altogether, this one’s for you.—<h2>Come to the masterclass: From STUCK to SATISFIED</h2>A live launch event for my upcoming new course, The Man She Craves.

First some stats on premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction:<ul><li>Close to 33% of men don’t respond to Viagra or Cialis, and a full 50% of men who start on them quit within a year or less of use</li><li>Premature ejaculation (PE) is the most common sexual dysfunction in men on the planet</li><li>The NIH estimates that erectile dysfunction (ED) affects as many as 30M men in the U.S. alone.</li><li>According to the International Society for Sexual Medicine, 1-4% of men struggle with delayed ejaculation (DE). One man in a sexual health forum said DE has “lost me relationships and destroyed my sexual confidence,” even though he feels confident in every other part of his life.</li></ul>---So likely hundreds of millions of men are dealing with these issues worldwide ... yet most feel deeply alone. It&#39;s easy to feel stuck, powerless, and anxious or depressed (or both) when you don&#39;t feel like you have control over your own body. It can feel like, “What is wrong with me??”There&#39;s nothing wrong with you -- and we need to talk about more than just the physical, mechanistic components of the solution.Enter Dr. Luke Adler. As a doctor of Chinese medicine, Luke sees what most Western approaches miss. As he puts it, “Western medicine has reduced it to it being all about blood flow...” -- and he’s here to show you the rest of the picture.In this episode, Luke reveals the one overlooked thread that runs through ALL sexual dysfunction. He also gets into why a childhood message like “Be a good boy; we have to take care of mom” might be showing up in your bedroom decades later, and what it means when your body is carrying “an energy of oppression.”Plus, hear from one man who’d tried naturopaths, Western doctors, and every supplement out there with zero results -- until something finally shifted. In his words: “I would have paid $100,000 for that result!”<h2>Come to the upcoming masterclass: From Stuck to Satisfied</h2>On Sunday, October 18th from 1-3p PT / 4-6p ET I&#39;m teaching a masterclass all about the #1 pattern I see in the men that get UN-stuck in love, and get into sexually &amp; emotionally rewarding relationships.

434: Your erection is about more than just blood flow - this is a critical missing element (ft. Dr. Luke Adler) [replay]

Ever feel like your body has stopped cooperating in the one place you most need it to? Or it&#39;s totally hit-or-miss -- in one man&#39;s words: &#34;I never knew whether I was going to ejaculate at all. I had no control over it.&#34;Erectile dysfunction (ED), premature ejaculation (PE), and/or delayed ejaculation (DE) can have a devastating impact on a man&#39;s sense of self-esteem, as well as on sexual satisfaction in relationships. And we don&#39;t talk about this enough. These issues come up in my sex research constantly, and are a daily reality for hundreds of millions of men globally. Yet even in men&#39;s work spaces like men&#39;s groups, performance anxiety and sexual health is like the last frontier -- it&#39;s just hard to talk about how your d*ck is functioning.But we need to ... because men out there are suffering. For example, did you know that according to an article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, 1 in 4 men seeking help for new-onset erectile dysfunction these days are 40 or younger? ED is not just an older man&#39;s game -- and it turns out that for some men (more than we might think), taking drugs like Viagra or Cialis doesn&#39;t even work.But don&#39;t worry -- there&#39;s way more possible here than you&#39;ve been led to believe.Whether you can&#39;t get hard without porn first, you lose your erection halfway through, premature ejaculation robs you of enjoying the experience fully (as well as your partner), or delayed ejaculation prevents you from finishing at all, cock trouble is common. And for some, the fear of it happening again has you wondering what the point of dating or sex even is.Here, pelvic floor educator Jana Danielson BRINGS THE HOPE. We get into why your erections may have more to do with how you breathe than with your penis, why Kegels might be making things worse, and the story of a 24-year-old athlete who was about to fill an ED prescription, but who Jana thankfully got her hands on. A month later, he was waking up with morning wood for the first time in years!If you&#39;ve been quietly white-knuckling your way through sex, or avoiding it altogether, this one&#39;s for you.—<h2>Join me on Oct 17th for my new masterclass: From STUCK to SATISFIED</h2>A live launch event for my upcoming new course, The Man She Craves, this class will outline the #1 pattern I&#39;ve seen after coaching men for over a decade.

“I know I’m a good guy - I’m kind and compassionate and caring … so why don&#39;t girls want me??”This was one of Scott&#39;s main concerns in middle and high school. It felt like it was happening for everyone around him, but not him.Fast forward a few decades and now he&#39;s got overflow in his love life -- he&#39;s married and experiences affection, sex, closeness, and emotional availability on the daily. So what changed?Here we talk about the excruciating phone call in 6th grade that kicked everything off; the confusion of having close women friends who say they want a nice guy but then don&#39;t seem to want the nice guy that&#39;s right in front of them; what it actually means to feel SEEN after feeling overlooked; and the intriguing question Scott finally asked himself on a walk through a park in Madrid.You&#39;ll also hear about a client who looked great on paper, but who was stuck in first-date purgatory for years. A couple of months into the work, he said something he&#39;d never said before: &#34;She&#39;s actually chasing me!&#34;If you&#39;ve ever felt stuck in a pattern of first dates that never become second dates, years of swiping with nothing to show for it, or a marriage where you reach for her and keep hearing, &#34;No&#34; -- this one&#39;s for you.—<h2>Come to the upcoming Masterclass!</h2>The Man She Craves 101 is coming in October.

Do you want women to feel deeply safe with you? Do you want your partner to feel not just satisfied physically and emotionally, but able to truly surrender with you -- let go of her inhibitions and experience IMMENSE PLEASURE on every level?Then she needs to trust you.Here we share our personal experiences of trust -- when a man has earned it and we&#39;ve been able to really lean in ... and when we&#39;ve been let down and felt the lack of trust.The truth is that a woman must trust you at a deep level if she&#39;s to feel safe with you. Sadly, as things stand we still inhabit a world where a lot of women feel unsafe with many men.So what does it take to be deeply trustable? Here, we each reveal what it takes for a man to be trusted by us on a personal level. We share intimate stories of times we interacted with an un-trustable man (and what made him un-trustable), as well as the times we felt deep trust, safety, and connection.Want a woman to fully surrender to you? Listen on -- whether you&#39;re newly dating, long-married, or in any other kind of love relationship, you&#39;re sure to get something out of this vulnerable, raw discussion of love, safety, trust, intimacy, and sexuality.Mentioned on this episode:<ul><li>The Man She Craves 101: My upcoming masterclass leading into my new course.

“Who’s taking up space in the relationship?”“If I don’t have any boundaries, I’ll often attract someone who doesn’t honor boundaries.”“Partners like this can be really smart.”“Because you’re the closest to them, you get all the wild crazy.”“I hear a new rule, I try to do that, and I still lose.”“It’s pretty hard to do alone.”“It really feels like, ‘There is no way out.’”“It can be comfortable but not very alive.”“Our guys don’t just want sex - they want closeness.”“Why do you need that? Isn’t this enough?”

You&#39;ve probably heard of penis rings. Maybe you&#39;ve even tried one!? But there&#39;s a another tool almost nobody talks about — the men who&#39;ve actually explored it say nothing else compares, and yet most guys never even consider it, because of one thing: shame.Whether it&#39;s a marriage that&#39;s quietly gone sexless, an erection that isn&#39;t cooperating the way it used to, or just curiosity about what&#39;s actually out there beyond what you already know, midlife brings up a lot of questions men don&#39;t feel safe asking anyone — not their partner, not their doctor, not even their friends.Karen Bigman gets it. A certified sex educator at 60, she&#39;s got 3 fun categories of sex toys she recommends for men. We get into things like: How does a penis pump actually work in real life with a partner — do you pause mid-makeout to grab it, or does it happen before you even get to the bedroom?And we go somewhere most men never go: the prostate. What&#39;s it actually like? Why do the men who&#39;ve explored it describe it like &#34;watching in high def&#34;? And how do you even start, solo or with a partner?One stat that stuck with me: according to Mayo Clinic, erectile dysfunction can show up 3-5 years before any other symptoms of heart disease appear. Your body may be trying to tell you something before anything else does.If you&#39;ve ever been curious about exploring more but didn&#39;t know where to start — or didn&#39;t think it was &#34;allowed&#34; — this one&#39;s for you.<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

Edge City is one of the most exciting, fun, engaging, dynamic communities of which I&#39;m a part -- and here I get to interview one of the founders! (This is very exciting for me.)Edge City runs month-long &#34;pop-up villages&#34; — 500 to 1,000 people from tech, science, culture, and art, gathered in one small, walkable town, building things together. In Timour&#39;s words, &#34;It&#39;s got the dynamism of a city, with the vibe of a village — that&#39;s kind of a design principle for us.&#34;In my words: It&#39;s like summer camp meets a tech conference ... and it&#39;s also a hotbed of attraction. :)But what happens when you meet someone in an environment where you absolutely will run into them again? What if you don&#39;t want to make her uncomfortable by asking her out? How do organizers think about this?As Timour puts it, &#34;We are in a weird time when it comes to dating.” But don&#39;t worry -- we discuss the anonymous &#34;crush&#34; feature that could change everything.We also get into the dating dynamics at the village specifically, including my feeling of being surrounded by attractive men and yet noticeably under-approached. We cover the couple whose second date really was an entire month-long event, and the strange twist where Timour says this is actually the opposite of Burning Man&#39;s infamous &#34;playa romance&#34; phenomenon.If you&#39;ve ever wondered whether there&#39;s a real-world alternative to the apps — something that isn&#39;t just another platform — this one&#39;s worth your full attention.—<h2>Come to Edge City!</h2>The next Edge City is in Goa, India from Oct 11–Nov 1.

She&#39;s successful. She&#39;s put together. She seems like she doesn&#39;t need anyone. So why does dating still feel impossible for her — and why does she seem so hard to get close to?The men we work with are almost always intensely curious about what life is like on the &#34;other side.&#34; What do single women contend with? What are their biggest dating, sex, and relationship challenges? Here, Violet breaks down 3 top issues frequently faced by single women — the ones most men never clock, because women have gotten so good at hiding them.We get into why the most &#34;together,&#34; successful women are often the most terrified of being seen, and what that has to do with whether she actually notices you making eye contact across the room.We dig into the hot-and-cold thing — why it happens, why it almost never has anything to do with you, and why the woman across from you at dinner may be carrying more than she&#39;s ever said out loud.And we unpack the unconscious dating pattern nearly every long-single woman is repeating without knowing it — the one Violet says she couldn&#39;t see either, until someone lovingly pointed it out.Plus: the bar story about the guy who approached a whole circle of women, and what has changed in Violet&#39;s own marriage after over a decade together.If you&#39;ve ever felt like you couldn&#39;t figure out how to &#34;get in&#34; with a woman who seems to have it all together — or you&#39;re partnered with a woman who runs hot and cold — this one could fundamentally change how you see her.—<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

Let&#39;s be real: Modern dating culture can suck. Between ghosting, confusion over when to have sex, the commodification of our love lives, and people throwing up old photos on Tinder, Feeld, or Bumble, it&#39;s not always clear how to make it work.But Freya isn&#39;t playing by the rules anymore. Instead of sticking with the apps, which can leave both men and women feeling dejected, she&#39;s running a full-blown, 3-month public campaign to find a boyfriend ... and she&#39;s inviting her entire audience along for the ride.What&#39;s equally as cool is that she&#39;s challenging herself on an essentially daily basis to approach men in the wild. We get all up into how this is going for her (how do you approach a guy at the grocery store? What if he&#39;s got headphones in? What if he&#39;s taken? How does she handle rejection?), and her strong and well-made points about how we could all &#34;do&#34; dating better.We also dig into the wildest event she&#39;s said yes to (hint: 250 people were watching); what happened on her fourth lap around a park after 3 failed attempts to talk to a cute guy walking his dog; and why the little note cards she&#39;s been handing out to strangers might be the most old-school-meets-radical dating move going right now.And a distinction we both come back to: the difference between dominating, being passive, and leading (and why &#34;leading&#34; is the one that actually works).<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

&#34;Is your dick going to be synced to porn?&#34;That&#39;s not hypothetical — it&#39;s already on the market. Here, intimacy expert Susan Bratton walks me through &#34;weird&#34; phenomena at the frontier of sex tech and AI, including synchronized strokers, tele-dildonics (I&#39;ll bet that&#39;s a word you&#39;ve never come across before), role-player game (RPG) worlds where you can get down and dirty with an Aztec warrior woman, and adaptive AI that learns what gets you off and gives you more of it.But where does this genuinely help? And where can it quietly wreck your dopamine system and/or real-world relationships? We delve into all of it, including the exact device suite that Susan and her boyfriend use for long-distance sex. Imagine being thousands of miles apart, still having synchronized orgasms on video.

“I was nervous as hell.”So shares one of the men in this episode about how he felt stepping onto the land of our in-person retreat. In another&#39;s words, “I went into a panic because I’m having flashbacks of summer camp.”What&#39;s it really like to do live men&#39;s work?The truth is, most men that come to live retreats are intimidated in one way or another. Rates of bullying are astronomically high, and you don&#39;t always know what to expect. As another put it, “There’s a shared understanding of the brutality between men.” And, “When I was a boy, there was never any spiritual or deep, emotional holding by men in my life.”But you can write -- and experience -- a different story. You can have a new experience of brotherhood ... and what that makes possible may be something you&#39;ve never even considered.In one man&#39;s words, “The dynamic within my whole family has changed.” Another said, “There’s now a level of connection now with my wife that I can’t even describe.”If you&#39;e ever felt like you didn&#39;t fit in as a kid, or you&#39;re just plain curious about how our retreat has impacted other men, listen on.

Have you ever felt like your woman was routinely frustrated, resentful, or annoyed with you? Like you can&#39;t get anything right, and then on top of that, when it comes to sex or physical intimacy, FORGET about it. Not happening.If so, you may be contending with reverse polarity. This can happen in either direction, but we find that with our clients, it&#39;s illuminating to explore the flavor when a man is more in omega (his feminine) and a woman more in her alpha (her masculine).Here, we delve into the different stages of relationship as they relate to polarity (original concept by author and thought leader David Deida.) We also get into what to DO about reverse polarity. How do you re-polarize a relationship if you haven&#39;t been very polarized lately?The focus, as always, is how we can grow into sexier, more fulfilling relationships on both sides.—<h3>Come to the Retreat!</h3>We&#39;ve still got 7 spots left as of this episode dropping!

Ever feel like you&#39;re doing everything &#34;right&#34; — showing up, being kind, respecting her — but only getting crumbs?First dates that never turn into second dates. A marriage where you&#39;ve quietly become roommates; no matter what you do, there&#39;s no sex, and there&#39;s not even very much affection. That feeling of putting in a ton of effort and still spinning your wheels.If any of that lands, you&#39;re likely living out some version of Nice Guy Syndrome.Outgrowing being a Nice Guy doesn&#39;t mean becoming a jerk. It does mean that you learn some skills or make some shifts you&#39;ve maybe never even thought of before.Here, Jason and I break down the 3 specific things that support men in graduating from being a Nice Guy — the ones that take them from stuck to, &#34;Wait, this actually works now?&#34;—<h3>Come to the Retreat!</h3>Join us live in Boonville, CA (near Napa) in early September.

How much does a woman&#39;s sexual satisfaction depend on the size, shape, or other physical details of your cock?According to research out of the UK, this question is on the hearts of a lot of men. To quote this study: &#34;Men showed significant dissatisfaction with penile size, despite perceiving themselves to be of average size.&#34;In other words, it&#39;s common, if you&#39;re a man, to wonder (or worry) about whether size matters.Now here&#39;s the real question: Do women that sleep with men track this, and if so, how much?The truth is that there&#39;s as much diversity in the world of penises as there is in the world of human beings. And as women who have sex with men, we&#39;ve seen a whole bunch! Here, we get real about sex, relationships, hookups, play, and cock size.---<h1>Join us!</h1>We&#39;ve got a few spots left at our live, in-person retreat, September 3rd–7th — five days of embodiment, brotherhood, and doing the work that will actually move the needle.

Do you want to establish a new, healthier habit, but so far you just ... haven&#39;t? For example: eat more veggies; exercise; have a meditation practice; be bolder with women/your woman; or a big one: cease watching porn.According to a meta-analysis on this exact questions, intentions only account for ~30% of whether someone actually changes behavior — meaning you can be fully committed and clear on what you want to do, and that commitment still barely predicts whether you’ll do it.The good news? Change is possible; it just doesn’t happen the way you think it does.We get into the real gap — between knowing and embodying — and cover why some of the smartest, most self-aware men we work with can describe their patterns with PhD-level precision, but still be stuck in the exact same loop years later.We also talk about the guy who showed up to the work feeling stuck and hopeless ... and who&#39;s now having the most fulfilling sex of his life with the healthiest partner with whom he has ever been.Fair warning: this one might make you rethink how you&#39;ve been trying to change -- and you might start taking the actions that&#39;ll ACTUALLY get you what you want.—<h1>Join us!</h1>We&#39;ve got a few spots left at our live, in-person retreat, September 3rd–7th — five days of embodiment, brotherhood, and doing the work that will actually move the needle.

When it comes to sex, dating, and relationships, what is AI good for? And where can it potentially cause damage?Here, Jason and I go point-for-point — one way AI can support your love life, one way it can harm it — and get into the nuances most people aren&#39;t talking about.We cover what AI is actually good for: crafting the message you can feel but can&#39;t quite say; getting unstuck when you&#39;re in your head at midnight; brainstorming date ideas that generate real dopamine for the couple; handling the &#34;shit work&#34; of logistics so you can show up more present.We share the real story of one client whose fight with his wife got a little unstuck through an unexpected AI assist — and the &#34;family assistant&#34; moment that changed everything for a friend struggling to ask for help.We also delve into in which ways AI can be like emotional porn; what MIT research shows about how heavy AI use impacts mental health and relationships; and why people literally grieved when OpenAI turned down the sycophancy dial.The deepest cut? AI has no needs. It will never trigger you, never require repair, never push back. And if you spend enough time in that dynamic... you might start to forget that friction is what actually creates intimacy. But real negotiation between two different humans — that&#39;s not the obstacle to love. That IS love.If you&#39;re curious about AI and want to use it wisely — without letting it quietly erode the very capacities that make you magnetic — this one&#39;s for you.—<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

&#34;Is this in my head, or is this real?&#34;Millions of women ask themselves this question -- about their sleep, their mood, their body suddenly working differently than it used to. They can&#39;t tell if they can&#39;t sleep as well as they used to because they&#39;ve got two young children ... or whether it&#39;s perimenopause.If you want to be an awesome partner (either now or in the future), listen on! This is the hormonal literacy class you never got that could help with everything.Here I sit down with Morgan Miller, midwife and co-author of The Cycle Book (with her best friend, sex therapist Laura Federico), to decode what&#39;s actually happening in a woman&#39;s body as she&#39;s in different phases.We go deep on perimenopause: sleep disruption, night sweats, heart palpitations, ER scares no one warns you about; the anxiety and PMDD that can be a hormonal sensitivity, not an imbalance. There&#39;s also the easy, often-missed fix for vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, and painful sex (a targeted topical instead of antibiotics).We also cover why a single blood draw is just &#34;her estrogen at 2pm on a Tuesday&#34; — and why tracking biomarkers (which is actually pretty simple) over a few cycles tells you a LOT more.Plus a stat that floored me: period-tracking apps are only ~20% accurate at predicting ovulation — wrong roughly 80% of the time.If your woman has ever been told &#34;everything&#39;s fine&#34; while her body said otherwise, and you&#39;ve felt helpless watching it — this one&#39;s for you.—<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?

A 2022 <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220615005290/en/Majority-of-American-Men-Fear-Being-Deemed-Creepy-According-to-New-Research" rel="nofollow">dating survey</a> showed that a whopping 69% of American men say that fear of being labeled &#34;creepy&#34; impacts how they interact with women. And 44% said it diminishes how much they interact with women at all, romantically or otherwise. In other words, the fear of being creepy can hold you back from all connection with women, not just in the realm of dating/relationships.But let&#39;s talk about sex and dating for a moment. The cruel irony is that this kind of fear usually means you&#39;ve got a good heart — but left unchecked, it can make you shrink, go invisible, and tuck your sexuality away entirely ... which kills polarity.Here, Jason and I count down the top 3 ways to make sure you&#39;re NOT coming off as creepy. We get practical as well as emotional. I share the &#34;library story&#34; I still think about; Jason gets honest about the years he spent frozen and numb — and we get into why whoever is breathing more deeply in the room ... is holding alpha.We also share the simple thing you can say out loud that turns an awkward, high-stakes context with a woman into one where she actually feels safe enough to say yes — including the exact line that helped one man ask out a longtime friend and land in the healthiest relationship either of them had ever had.plus a breakthrough that took one client from scared-and-small to making out outside a restaurant with a woman he thought was &#34;out of his league&#34; — plus the married man who finally said six words to his wife he&#39;d never dared say in their whole marriage, and how she responded.Whether you&#39;ve frozen, over-corrected, or held your fire because you were terrified of being &#34;that guy&#34; — single or married — this one&#39;s for you. You can move beyond creepy and reclaim this part of yourself ... and everyone benefits when you do.—<h2>Work with us</h2>Ready to go deeper than the podcast and take action?
