The Shadow Side of Sexuality - with Bernhard Guenther

Yeah, I love that because back in, I think it was probably like 2016-ish, I started here in Los Angeles.

I don't know if you remember this or you were here back then, but there was the whole masculine feminine polarity scene was starting to brew around certain well-known teachers.

And that was really playing out.

Not only were that was the distortions that you just mentioned being programmed in.

What was

his name? They wrote the superior man, something like that.

David Data.

David Data.

I think he brought like to the forefront a little bit.

Yeah, people worshipped him in those.

Yeah.

And so I really got, I sort of was interested because I knew there was a truth to polarity, the polarity that you and I understand in terms of, yeah, we're here on the earth plane, there's polarities all around, but it's about polarity integration to move towards inner wholeness and union.

But I knew there was a truth to it because it's really, it's just the truth of yin and yang down here and how to work with these two things, wholeness.

But yes, there was all the dogma and all of the weird distortions going on.

But there was this dark underbelly of the BDSM world too, because it's like when you teach it in that way, then it sort of spills over into, you know, women, you just have to be 100% submissive and feminine.

Yeah.

And then men, you just have to be, you know, stoic and what you described.

And there was this whole dark underworld of BDSM that I just knew, I just was like, there's something really not okay.

And then there was also some cult involvement with, I won't name the organization, but just a lot of darkness.

And so I also have seen over the last 10 years that, you know, the blowing up of that world, the popularity teaching.

So I'm glad that you mentioned that.

Yeah.

Because that is part of the problem.

And let's move to porn for a second, too, because, yeah, it's really it's it's obviously a huge problem.

I love that men are actually starting to speak about it openly.

Yeah, I love that because back in, I think it was probably like 2016-ish, I started here in Los Angeles.
