You can also participate in the show by sending a voice message. This podcast is part of Anne Bland's Selfishly Happy Revolution, the next sexual revolution that doesn't start from barricades or burning your bras, but from within. Putting that figurative oxygen mask on yourself first before helping others gives you more energy, love, and creativity to share with others. And that oxygen mask is ‘Pleasure’! Pleasure is your birthright, and you deserve and are worthy of feeling good about yourself and your life so that you have the energy to show up in the world the way you want. And most of all, to create the life you want! Selfishly Happy Revolution is all about creating a movement, a community that celebrates pleasure and is pleasure-positive, demystifying sex and sexuality, and creating happy relationships not just with your partner but also with yourself, your communities, and the world at large. As Anne Bland says: “Happy and pleasure-positive people just don’t start wars.”"Tantra doesn't judge or exclude anything but it transforms everything" (Osho). Tantra is like inner technology that can be harnessed for your benefit be it healing, personal or spiritual growth, or amazingly juicy, delicious, and succulent life. Tantra is like having pleasure and self-love on tap!Finally, if you want to learn some Tantric Tips and Pleasurable Treats called Seven Holistic Sex Tools, this show is definitely for you. Anne shares how you can use these ancient Tantric Tools - Intentions, Presence, Focus, Breath, Movement, Sound, and Energy – for self-healing and self-pleasure but also with your lover. They will help you to reclaim your own pleasure to become authentically your True Self and create a World that you want to live in and leave behind for future generations. Selfishly Happy Tantric Revolution is ALL ABOUT YOU! If you don't feel good about yourself, don't love yourself, don't have any energy, and are at risk of burning out - how could you be there for others? How could you be the leader in the world that you want to be? Or be the world co-creator that you truly are? Tantra teaches that all is one. It means that once you start healing, growing and becoming the person you truly are, the world around you changes too: what is inside you is also outside you. Pleasure and sexual energy are not well understood in the West and often associated with something shady, dirty, sinful or secretive. Tantra celebrates sex and sexual energy being normal and natural parts of you and the very energy for creation and spiritual enlightenment. It is where humanity meets spirituality. By mastering Tantric tools you can use your body-mind, your "inner technolog

36: Juicy Lips Down Under - Celebrating Diversity of Vulvas
A listener feedback and sharing from Down Under inspired Anne Bland to remember episode 29 with Franziska when they discussed if the size matters. Diversity in vulvas, pussies and penises is to be celebrated and worshipped. Apologies for a long pause towards the end. There is another section where Anne introduces a future guest who is going to share inclusive communications when it comes to LGTBQ+ people and queer sex!
Here are some resources for vulva inspiration!

35: The Best Tantric Techniques for a Man
How to become a masterful Tantric lover? What are the best Tantric techniques for a man? In this episode, Anne Bland follows on the discussion of differences between the opposite energy poles of male and female bodies and how a man can become a better lover. Are there specific, sacred Tantric techniques or is it more about getting to know yourself as a man as one of Anne's ex-clients claim and unlearning all you've known sex to be?

34: Tantric Way to Pleasure a Man
In this episode, Anne Bland suggests a different, more "yin way", for men to experience pleasure based on receiving and surrendering. She discusses the different energy poles of the male and female genitalia and hearts and how they have impacted the way conventional sex is portrayed and understood in society. A man's genitalia being yang, it can be challenging for men to be a receiver of pleasure and because of the cultural conditioning it is easy to confuse the energies with the gender roles. Despite these issues, Anne claims that the way to a man's heart is, not through his stomach, but through his penis. This is based on the Taoist understanding of the different energy poles of the body. Finally, Anne suggests that a soft penetration can be extremely liberating and one of the most exquisite and loving experiences of pleasure because it balances the polar opposite genital energies.

33: How to Give Pleasure to a Woman the Tantric Way?
The last two episodes have been about trauma - so today it's all about pleasure, and more specifically, how to bring the Sex Goddess out of a woman. Anne Bland shares in this episode how the Taoist tradition understands genitalia from an energetic point of view: the female genitalia is more Yin and the male genitalia more Yang and what that means during turn-on, arousal and penetration.

32: Asking for a Friend: Connecting to My Own Pleasure and Calmness after Sexual Abuse
(NB. Trigger warning about childhood sexual trauma and child marriage)
This is a coaching-style episode that starts with Anne Bland and her guest, Francy, catching up with Francy's sexual healing journey over the last six months when they first met on the "Life With Francy" podcast. For the first time, on that episode, Francy shared publically about her childhood sexual trauma by her biological father and her child marriage when she was only 14. Having been culturally conditioned that pleasure is only for a man and it's a woman's duty to serve their needs, Francy has come a long way and now talks about mental health and her polyamory on her podcast, providing hope and a roadmap that things can be different. At the end of the episode, Anne guides Francy through a process of re-wiring her nervous system into calmness when it comes to pleasure in the midst of two conflicting cultures: those of Puerto Rico and the USA. If you feel triggered by this story please reach out for help. You can also email Anne to see if you want to come on the Asking for a Friend episode or to explore private coaching. Please note that if you have an active trauma, Anne is not a medical professional or a trauma coach and you are encouraged to seek professional trauma help.

31: Why I started Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others Podcast?
(NB. Trigger warning of childhood sexual abuse)
The listeners have been asking for Anne Bland's personal story about why she started Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others podcast and Tantric Sex Coaching. In this episode, Anne is finally ready to get vulnerable and talk about her personal healing story which has been traumatic and painful but also full of love and light, pleasure and connection. This journey has made Anne who she is today and the way she can hold space for her coaching clients in a safe and strong way. As Anne says: "Healing is hard work and that's why we need a Pleasure Path to go with it!" Selfishly Happy Revolution is about becoming more of you, not less. It also means feeling all the feelings, even if they are painful, to release trauma from the body and to bring "all of you" into integration and alignment. As a trauma-informed coach, Anne emphasises the good news: " Because trauma lives in the body at the nervous system level, it can always be re-wired through pleasure into healing. Humans are designed to be resilient - we just need to know how to do it."
