Sexual Encounters: The Very First Time22 Okt

First Time Feeling the Sacred

Can sex be more than just physical pleasure? In this episode of Sexual Encounters: The Very First Time, MaryJane is joined by sexologists Dr. Markie Twist and Dr. Mark Levand to explore the intersection of sex, spirituality and transcendence. From sacred intimacy and soul ties to altered states, intense orgasms and spiritual connection, we unpack what happens when sex feels bigger than ourselves. Is it chemistry, psychology, spirituality, or something we can't quite explain? And when does the pursuit of sacred sexuality cross the line into manipulation?
