  • Wonderful combination of politics and relationships

    I feel seen as one whose purpose is radical social change and who has tried to apply my values to my relationships (with great difficulty but heartwarming success). Nicole is easy to listen to but plenty substantive. If you are looking for tools to revolutionize the way you interact with your loved ones, this is the podcast for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

265. The Tension of Erotic Energy: Premature Ejaculation of Vulnerability with Aaron Frazin
Q: What is one thing you wish others knew was more normal about premature ejaculation?
Most men begin life as early ejaculators, and understanding that this is a common starting point can reduce shame and open up space for conversation, better management, and healthier sexual connection.
266. Cry Hard. Cum Hard: the Connection Between Pleasure and Grief with Jess DeVries
Q: What advice would you give to your younger self starting this journey?
Trust your intuition, seek community, and start talking openly about trauma and healing; dismantle restrictive narratives from religious and patriarchal systems that suppress pleasure and grief.
266. Cry Hard. Cum Hard: the Connection Between Pleasure and Grief with Jess DeVries
Q: How can pleasure be part of the grief process, and what about the taboo around combining pleasure with sadness?
Pleasure is integral to healing; tears can accompany arousal and orgasm, and rituals should honor both, with a focus on safety, consent, and intentionality within communities.
266. Cry Hard. Cum Hard: the Connection Between Pleasure and Grief with Jess DeVries
Q: What are some grief rituals you invite people to practice and bring into their life?
She shares Biweekly mindful erotic grief sessions, guided body awareness, movement, sound, storytelling, and optional self-pleasure or shared activities, all conducted in a safe, boundary-respecting, community-enabled format.
266. Cry Hard. Cum Hard: the Connection Between Pleasure and Grief with Jess DeVries
Q: And the first question that I like to ask each guest on the show is, how would you introduce yourself to the listeners?
Jess describes herself as a queer witch who creates and helps people be more in their bodies, and professionally as a somatic sex coach and grief worker, emphasizing a holistic, embodied approach.
