Sex is a subject I can't (and don't want to) ignore…
…because sexual health is just as important for your physical, mental, and spiritual fitness as lifting weights, meditating, or praying.
This is why I devoted an extensive chapter to hormones, libido, and sex in general in my book Boundless. I have also podcasted many times before about sex, including episodes with Jamie Wheal (“Biohacking Sex, Tantric Breathwork, Plant Medicines For Orgasmic Enhancement & Much More.“), Kim Anami (“A Vaginal Weightlifting Coach Reveals Her Secrets On How To Train Your Body For Soul-Stretching, Bed-Shaking, Neighbour-Complaining Sex”), and Dr. Richard Gaines (“The Non-Pill, Natural Alternative To Viagra That Instantly Fixes Erectile Dysfunction, Boosts Drive In Men & Women, Enhances Orgasm & Much More.“).
Then there was the wildly popular podcast with Susan Bratton, “Biohacking Sex: The Best Tips, Tricks, Supplements & Food To Optimize Libido, Desire & Arousal.“, an episode that included sixteen bedroom and sex biohacking tips. Since it's been awhile since I've tackled the somewhat controversial, but nonetheless thrilling, topic of optimizing your sex life, I thought it was time to get Susan back on the show.
Susan Bratton is a champion and advocate for all who desire passionate relationships. Married to her husband Tim since 1993, Susan is an author, award-winning speaker, and serial entrepreneur who teaches passionate lovemaking techniques to her fans around the world. Susan’s fresh approach and original ideas have helped millions of people of all ages, and across the gender spectrum, transform having sex into making love.
As the CEO and co-founder (with her husband) of Personal Life Media and The 20, Susan has authored 35 books and programs and launched a line of libido support supplements for the sexual biohacker community. A deep thinker with a sweeping foundation of knowledge in human sexuality, Susan has been featured in The New York Times and on CNBC and the TODAY show as well as appearing on ABC, CBS, The CW, Fox, and NBC.
Susan has sold over 25,000 copies of her book Relationship Magic as well as achieving International #1 Amazon best-seller for Sexual Soulmates: The 6 Essentials for Connected Sex. Other books include The Passion Patch, 30 Romance Tricks That Work Like Magic, The Sexual Soulmate Pact, and The Soulmate Embrace.
She has also created and published numerous online courses including her wildly popular Revive Her Drive and Steamy Sex Ed® DVD Collection, as well as programs such as Seduction Trilogy, Expand Her Orgasm Tonight, The Multi-Orgasmic Lover for Men, Female Liquid Orgasm, and Keep Her Coming.
Millions of couples and singles have been touched by Susan's TV appearances and Better Lover YouTube channel. Through her Insider’s Club newsletter at PersonalLifeMedia.com, Susan gives away, free of charge, countless MP3 audios, videos, articles, and e-books to nearly a half million fans each month. I also appeared in Susan's wildly popular “Sexual Vitality Summit” to discuss natural testosterone enhancement methods for men.
Chair Emeritus of the ad:tech conference, and both the CMO and a member of the Board of Directors for an Anthony Robbins tech start-up, Susan has served on numerous boards throughout her career. In 2009, she was honored as a “Silicon Valley Woman of Influence” by The Business Journal and as a “Top 10 Internet Pioneer” by AdAge Magazine. In 2010, Susan was bestowed the Lifetime Industry Achievement award by DMG World Media.
Susan Bratton’s straight-talking, fearless perspectives are rooted in her personal experience of watching her sex life wither while she and her husband pursued dynamic careers. When their relationship hit a crisis point, the couple made a fierce commitment to do whatever it took to keep their family together and revive the passion in their marriage. Today, she and her husband have the kind of dream relationship most people long-since stopped believing is even possible—until they discover Susan’s teachings.

Thanks Ben .
Listened to this – and came to the conclusion that my sex life has been boring to potentially devastating over the years…
I don’t know whether to believe that women can have multiple ongoing orgasms…(and men). or whether to laugh historically at the mythological fantasy of it..
Just made me feel pretty sad to be honest….
The type of experiences that can only happen (if possible) with a very patient and open minded long term partner …
Thanks for the comment Cate, hope you find the right long-term partner for you.
