Welcome to episode 354 of Sexology Podcast! Today I am delighted to be speaking with David Chambers. In this episode, we discuss the challenges faced by individuals in their pursuit of enhanced sexual experiences. We explore a myriad of factors, ranging from psychological challenges such as performance anxiety and body image concerns to physical issues like cardiovascular health and the impact of medications.  David Chambers embarked on his journey into the world of relationship coaching driven by a sincere desire to escape the anguish of failed relationships, conquer commitment fears, and infuse his life with genuine joy.   Growing up in a single-parent, female-dominated household, he grappled with understanding masculinity and healthy romantic partnerships. His twenties were characterized by empty encounters aimed at gaining validation and confidence, alongside an aversion to commitment rooted in the dread of rejection or making the wrong choice. Consequently, his relationships were marred by toxicity, conflict, stress, and infidelity.   In 2007, David initially entered the realm of relationship and dating coaching, only to realize that merely teaching men superficial confidence and conversation skills fell short of creating lasting change. Recognizing the need for inner transformation, he embarked on a transformative global journey, learning from expert coaches, collaborating with best-selling authors, and undergoing profound personal growth.   David's mission is to share the wealth of dating and relationship insights he's gained, guiding men on their path to self-healing and self-mastery. "The Authentic Man" seeks to unearth the root causes hindering men from forging profound relationships, dismantling these barriers, and leading them toward lasting, fulfilling relationships and fulfilling, intimate, and passionate lives.     In this episode, you will hear:  Challenges faced by penis owners in lasting longer during partner sex How relationships and partner interactions can affect sexual performance Discussion on the significance and non- significance of penis size Understanding psychological challenges: performance anxiety, worries about size The potential negative effects of steroid use on sexual performance  How distraction is a common problem in sexual experiences Suggestions to improve presence during sex include breath practices How masturbation can lead to quick arousal leading to premature ejaculation The ways meditation, deep breathing and yoga can enhance sexual experiences How being present doesn't necessarily exclude fantasies   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sexologypodcast   Sexual Health Alliance Program https://sexualhealthalliance.com   Podcast Produced by Pete Bailey - http://petebailey.net/audioAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
