In this episode of the ReMasculation Podcast, I sit down with intimacy guide and tantric mentor Olivia (Liv Love) Pavlov for a heartfelt, unfiltered, and revelatory conversation about reclaiming sexuality as a sacred act.

Together, we dive into what it means to be in service to love, how shame gets lodged in the body, and why pleasure, presence, and prayer belong together.

We talk about sex magic, body presentations, Catholic guilt, and the difference between real turn-on and performative desire.

This one’s for the man who wants to move beyond guilt and into power.

And for the woman who knows there's more to sex than what culture told her.

Liv shares her path from religious repression to radical reclamation—and why making love to life starts with presence in your own body.

If you've ever felt that sex could be sacred—but didn’t know how to get there—this episode is your portal.

Here’s what we explore:

Why men need permission to be all of themselves

What a Dakini is and how she serves

How to rewire shame around sex through presence

Why Tantra isn’t what you think it is

How to turn self-pleasure into a prayer

What sex magic means (and how to do it)

How to use your body as a battery for creation

The difference between porn and sacred eroticism

Reclaiming power, wholeness, and the divine spark within

This conversation is a transmission—one that may help you come home to your own holiness.
