Single and searching in the modern app and online dating world is constantly evolving at a speed that may be quicker than people can keep up with. Every generation has it’s challenges to find love but today’s way of ordering a boyfriend like a pizza is new. Wow he’s hot and he’s not. Swipe left no no no swipe right. I love this guy….even though we have never met. Do I call him back…or text him…or ghost him? How do I know if he really wants a relationship or just a hookup? Should I play hard to get or is that just something my grandma would tell me to do? Is this guy safe? When should I introduce my dating app boyfriend to my friends? Will I ever find love with a dating app or online or is this just a step above swinging?
It’s not easy out there but in our series “Single and Searching” we explore modern dating with singles that want to find love.
Many women want to know if guys really like to go down on them or are they just putting in some time before they move onto what they want. Let’s be honest ladies….we LOVE oral sex but many of us can’t fully enjoy it because we are worried that he doesn’t like it, I smell down there, he must think my pussy is weird looking especially with his front row view right now, will he think I’m a slut if he knows how much I love this, and so on. All of these questions rolling around in your head can cause you to miss out on something wonderful.
On today’s show we interview Shaun Galanos. Shaun is the host of a playful and honest podcast about modern sexuality and intimacy called ‘The Love Drive”. The Love Drive podcast was born and exists with the sole mission to make sex and love less awkward by talking about it. Shaun brings humor and depth to subjects many are too afraid to talk about. His podcast is sex-positive with true intentions to help people learn more about each other.
Sex Addiction has become a modern buzz word that has given powerful men a “Get out of Jail Free” card when they are caught cheating on their wives. We have all seen the famous men that get caught cheating then go to an expensive rehab center to cure them from this “demonic force” that has taken over their lives. It’s happened so many times in the past three decades that it’s become a punch line on shows like South Park. But is Sex Addiction real or a myth and can it be treated? On this podcast we interview an expert on Sexual Addiction, Dr. David Ley. He has become world famous for his critical stance regarding sex addiction but he has the credentials to back it up.
Dr. David Ley is a Board-certified sex therapist, supervisor of sex therapy and Director of New Mexico Solutions, a large outpatient mental health and substance abuse program in Albuquerque, New Mexico.He has published three critically-acclaimed books, Insatiable Wives, The Myth of Sexual Addiction and Ethical Porn for Dicks: A Man’s Guide to Responsible Viewing Pleasure. He is a frequent commentator in media around the world, on shows such as Dr. Phil, Katie Couric, CNN, Playboy and in the Washington Post.
What does Sex Worker mean to you? Does it make you think of some underworld where drug addicted women trade their bodies for another hit of heroin or meth with no regard to their future or anyone else? Or do you think of a middle class Soccer Mom taking care of her kids, managing her own company and creating a charity? It may be time to move past the Hollywood version of a Sex Worker. Today’s modern sex workers are online, live in suburbia, they are safe, create charities to help other sex workers and raise their children with more quality time than anyone with a 9 to 5 job.
In this podcast we interview two amazing women, Penny Trait and Alex Bishop, both proud online sex workers and even prouder single mothers who created a charity porn project called I Give A Fuck Clips with their fellow sex worker colleague Jessie Sage. Alex and Penny may change your opinion of what a real sex worker is in the 21st Century.
Where do men go when they are searching for meaning? The need for meaning and purpose is an intrinsic part of a life that is completely satisfying and has no regret. The difficulty for many men is they feel obligated to suppress inner issues like childhood trauma, wants, dreams, desires and emotions to appear strong to the outside world. Sometimes you can have everything in your life in the right order, your job, family, friends..... it looks good on paper, but you still feel empty inside. Or maybe your life has gone off track and you are trying to figure out how to get back to where you need to be. The ManKind Project is a group where men encourage other men to stop putting on a front and put in the hard work to get to the core issues that are making them feel empty inside.
The Mankind Project serves close to 10,000 men each week in 11 regions worldwide through challenging programs designed to empower men to missions of service to support men to make a difference in the lives of others. They have men’s groups that provide mentorship to men at all levels of success to destroy the protected walls men build to hide themselves from the emotions inside. These groups will hold men accountable for the stories they tell themselves while making them challenge the fear. The Mankind Project gives men the power to blow up the walls that are blocking them from the beauty that is on the other side of them. The Mankind Project has transformed the lives of millions of men over the years by helping them find their WHY. We met with three men David, Frank, and Terry, that have been positively affected by The Mankind Project and they share their stories with us.

Couples In Conflict is a series designed to help couples have a better relationship. We all have visions of riding into the Sunset on a white horse together and living a fairy tale life and then BAM small things start to add up to create negative feelings. All the sudden you find yourselves arguing over the placing of a rug, what's for dinner and then that escalates into remembering every little thing the other person did to hurt and how your partner must not really love you anymore. You have found yourself in the land of defensiveness and contempt. It's a dark forest dominated by feelings of fear, pride and the inability to give your partner the benefit of the doubt. You wonder...."How did we get here?" Often our dreams lie in the smallest of things and we let them go to avoid conflict or the fear that our partner will not accept them. Getting out of defensiveness and contempt takes working through our own fears and taking the risk of giving our partners the benefit of the doubt to try to understand each other instead of defend.
Join us as we work with couples to help them get from a state of conflict to acceptance in our series Couples In Conflict.
Shaun Galanos is the host of The Love Drive, the podcast that exists to make sex and love less awkward. He is also a coach and consultant helping people drive more sex and love to their lives.
Shaun is a lover of people and an over-communicator, and somewhere along the way, he realized that honest, playful communication was the key to better relationships, more sex, and less awkwardness.
But sex and love didn't always come easily to him. Shaun struggled hard growing up. he didn't know how to approach people he was attracted to, ask people out without coming off creepy, or ask for what he wanted. Everything just felt so, awkward.
After a series of disappointing sexual encounters and failed relationships, Shaun discovered that he was going to have to do the work if he wanted a more fulfilling sex life and a more connected love life.
After putting into practice everything Shaun learned along the way, it was time to share his findings.
The Love Drive podcast was born and exists with the sole mission to make sex and love less awkward by talking about it.
