Sex, pleasure, gay men. How do we find the pathway to enhance our sex and pleasure while letting go of the shame of growing up gay? First and foremost we embrace that we deserve to be gay men and experience pleasure.

Helping us unpack the journey to pleasure is Dr. Israel Martinez with his new book Enhancing Pleasure for Gay Men: A Clinical Guide for Healing and Acceptance Through Better Sex.

During this provocative episode you learn:

• How the baggage of gay shame prevents us from being in pleasure


• To discern what pleasure and intimacy means to you


• Why your pleasure is yours to define and experience and how to share that with a man
