Sex Clubs, Kink and Discovering Something Deeper: Yuval Mann
Yuval Mann is an erotic intelligence mentor who helps people use their sexual expression as “a vehicle of individual and collective evolution.” Early on, though, he was barely allowed to interact with girls, much less embrace his sexual desires. His journey from the Israeli army to the global fetish and kink scene taught him about pleasure, intimacy and so much more.
You’ll hear about:
His sexual awakening, after growing up as an Orthodox Jew
A relationship that helped heal some of his sex-related shame
What he discovered at his first sex party
A hot triad relationship on Paradise Island
Tips for exploring in your own sex life
Learn more from Yuval here, and check out his Sensual Alchemy community on Telescope.

Note: This episode features a man who grew up in Israel. It was finalized before the Israel-Hamas war broke out, bringing profound tragedy. Like so many, I’m thinking of those who are most affected with deep heartache and care.

Igniting Love/Lust After 40: Treva and CK
Treva Brandon Scharf was in her early 40s when she set her sights on becoming a single mother. Little could she have anticipated what would unfold in her fertility journey, from spicy escapades to frustrating challenges – much less the major love life shift that would follow.
After CK Love learned of a partner’s betrayal, she set out on a journey to connect with her sensual self — something she hadn’t realized needed more healing. And both women have found their way to a deeper sense of self, fulfilling relationships and sexy sparks we can all learn from.
(CK’s story was originally released in February, 2022.)

Customer Reviews
Ritualize the everyday
I loved hearing Court Vox give examples of the everyday D/s and cementing the dynamic. Ritualizing what is already being done in the relationship. This is what I love about D/s as a core theme in a relationship. August’s format is interesting and is edited to highlight key information rather than drag on long, scattered conversations.
SUCH a great podcast Queen
I absolutely love August’s podcast, the format of her podcast is so unique. I was a guest on her podcast and she asks such great questions & makes you feel so comfortable! Highly recommend listening to this podcast!! The passion she has is electric!
Outstanding, informational!
Although I’m a male, I’ve learned a lot from August and her podcast. I don’t say this lightly. This is by far one of my favorite podcasts within the sexuality genre! August is a true journalist, a true professional. She knows what she’s doing from a journalistic perspective. Her warm, outgoing personality clearly comes through while listening. Give this podcast a listen!! You will not regret it. In fact, I’m extremely confident you’ll learn something useful.
