Dave Asprey: Biohacking, Kink, BDSM & Semen Retention

On this episode of The Next Man Up, Dave Asprey and Coral discuss Taoist longevity teachings on ejaculation frequency and orgasm, arguing orgasms benefit men but frequent ejaculation can reduce energy and life satisfaction via testosterone drops and prolactin rises. He describes tracking sex/ejaculation for a year, learning techniques for non-ejaculatory orgasm, and framing “conscious sex” as attunement and partner-focused surrender. The conversation links kink/BDSM and “brief intentional conscious exposure to pain” to dopamine sensitivity and trauma resetting, referencing Stan Grof’s birth-trauma model and parallels with neurofeedback and psychedelics. They discuss ego as survival imperatives, intuition and safety, yoni massage, finding ethical partners, and addressing sexual shame via therapy/EMDR, his “reset process,” and supportive partners or sex workers.EPISODE THEMES📝📌 Biohacking through sex📌 Semen Retention Science📌 The Importance of Pain📌 Yoni Massage📌 Kink & BDSMEXCLUSIVE OFFERS 📣https://www.coralosborne.com/pod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CONNECT WITH DAVE 📩Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.aspreyCONNECT WITH CORAL OSBORNE (THE NEXT MAN UP)🎙️Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.coralosborne.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theunrealcoralosborneYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@nextmanupwithcoralSubstack: https://substack.com/@coralosborne
