In this episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dan Salas, CEO of Surgery Life Enhancement, to uncover a subject often whispered about but rarely spoken with honesty—male enhancement and its impact on confidence, self-worth, and masculinity. Dan shares his deeply personal journey from being a patient to leading one of the pioneering clinics in the field. With over 30 years of experience, he opens up about how procedures like PMMA fillers can shift not only physical appearance but also a man’s mental and emotional well-being. This conversation breaks cultural silence, explores myths around size, and asks what needs to change for men’s sexual health to be treated with equal respect as women’s. It’s not just about enhancement—it’s about identity, confidence, and the right to feel whole. About the Guest : Dan Salas is the CEO of Surgery Life Enhancement, a clinic specializing in male enhancement procedures. Starting as a patient himself, he turned his personal story into a mission: to help men overcome shame, reclaim confidence, and normalize conversations around sexual wellness. Key Takeaways Male enhancement is about much more than appearance—it’s about reclaiming confidence and mental freedom. Cultural shame still forces men to hide, unlike women who openly pursue cosmetic procedures. PMMA fillers work by stimulating the body’s own connective tissue growth, creating long-term results. Myths persist around pills, pumps, or supplements—none provide permanent solutions. Men deserve safe spaces to speak about their concerns without ridicule or judgment. Breaking taboos around men’s sexual health requires openness, honest dialogue, and societal acceptance.

In this episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with internationally acclaimed performing artist and relationship expert Linda Sutton to explore how the sacred language of tango can revolutionize relationships. Drawing from her work as the creator of the 22 Tango Transformation Framework, Linda shares how the art of tango teaches trust, balance, nonverbal communication, and emotional intimacy. This insightful conversation unpacks how couples can use the discipline and sensuality of tango to rekindle desire, build harmony, and strengthen their partnership. Whether you’re in a relationship or seeking deeper connection in life, this episode provides actionable steps to bring rhythm and closeness back into your relationships—on and off the dance floor. About the Guest: Linda Sutton is an international performing artist, award-winning host of The 22 Tango Show, and author of It Takes Two to Tango. She helps couples decode relationship dynamics through the transformative power of dance and her renowned 22 Tango Transformation Framework. Linda’s work has touched lives globally, showing how tango’s principles of presence, polarity, and partnership can deepen intimacy and connection. Key Takeaways: Nonverbal communication is key: 93% of communication is nonverbal, and learning to "dance" with your partner can deepen connection. Trust is the foundation: Tango teaches the value of trust in both leading and following roles, mirroring the balance needed in relationships. Polarity creates energy: Healthy tension and roles in partnership can drive passion rather than conflict. Every step is new: Relationships thrive when we approach our partner with curiosity instead of assumptions. Simple exercise to reconnect: Start by embracing your partner in silence and observing their breath, balance, and presence. This can shift the energy between you and open the door to deeper intimacy.

In this powerful episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with clinical sexologist and intimacy coach Dr. Stephanie Hunter Jones to unpack the transformative potential of role play, cosplay, and power dynamics in sexual and emotional healing. From taboo-breaking insights to trauma-informed storytelling, Dr. Stephanie shares how stepping into fantasy can be a radical act of self-acceptance and liberation. Whether you’re curious about conscious kink, exploring past shame, or seeking playful ways to reconnect with your body, this conversation will change how you see pleasure—and yourself. . About the Guest: Dr. Stephanie Hunter Jones, PhD is a clinical sexologist, certified intimacy coach, and author of Beyond the Costume: Finding Love and Emotional Healing Through Cosplay. She has worked extensively with LGBTQ+ youth, trauma survivors, and individuals exploring sexual self-expression. Her work merges science, art, and sacred play to empower people to rewrite their pleasure stories without shame. Key Takeaways : Dr. Stephanie shared how cosplay and role play helped her personally heal from sexual trauma, and how she now uses those tools to support others through trauma-informed care. The episode explores how role play can bridge power imbalances in relationships, helping partners consciously explore consent, autonomy, and vulnerability through safe role-based scenarios. Dr. Stephanie differentiates between escapism and embodiment, advocating that both can coexist meaningfully in a healing journey. She powerfully reframes guilt and shame around sexual fantasies as barriers to love and emotional wholeness, stating: “Guilt is the opposite of love.” Drawing from clinical experience, Dr. Stephanie emphasizes that fantasies—when embraced—can help reprocess trauma safely, including taboo topics like rape fantasies, in a supported and consensual setting. The episode offers inclusive, accessible language and avoids sensationalism or inappropriate language, aligning with the community guidelines of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

In this insightful episode of Pleasure Principles, we welcome Dr. Brian Steixner, board-certified urologist and co-founder of Popstar Labs. We explore the often-avoided subject of men’s sexual health—unpacking myths, hormonal shifts, mental barriers, and the rising concern of male infertility. Dr. Steixner breaks down the silent shame around issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and low libido, emphasizing how confidence and education are key to reclaiming healthy intimacy. If you’re curious, concerned, or just ready for real talk, this episode brings science, strategy, and heart into the conversation. About the Guest: Dr. Brian Steixner is a leading voice in urology and men’s sexual medicine. As CEO and co-founder of Popstar Labs, he’s redefining how men approach sexual wellness—with science-backed education, personalized solutions, and a mission to break stigma. With decades of clinical experience and a drive to empower men, Dr. Steixner is at the forefront of the next wave in healthspan and sexual vitality. Key Takeaways: Most men misunderstand what’s “normal” in sexual performance due to lack of early education and unrealistic media portrayals. Psychological factors and shame often compound physical issues, delaying treatment. Hormonal imbalances, particularly low testosterone, can silently disrupt not just sex life, but overall health and confidence. Conversations around sexual wellness must start earlier—and be normalized. The future challenge: declining sperm health and male infertility linked to global health issues.

In this thought-provoking episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik is joined by storyteller, strategist, and spiritual explorer Padmini Pandya to unpack one of modern dating’s most debated questions: When is the right time to have sex with someone you’ve just started dating? Together, they explore the interplay of emotional readiness, spiritual alignment, societal norms, and energetic exchange. Padmini’s honest insights—rooted in lived experiences across cultures—challenge the often casual lens through which sex is viewed today. This episode offers a grounded, deeply personal lens into intimacy, timing, healing, and self-awareness in the modern age. About the Guest: Padmini Pandya is a storyteller, organizational psychologist, and the creator of the YouTube channel Pieces of Miss Mini. Her work delves into themes of love, identity, dating, and spiritual evolution. With global life experiences and a refreshingly candid voice, she encourages others to explore vulnerability, connection, and personal growth through introspection and storytelling. Key Takeaways: Timing sex in dating isn’t about arbitrary timelines—it’s about emotional safety and self-trust. Many rushes intimacy without building emotional or psychological connection, leading to mismatched expectations. Sex is not just physical—it’s energetic and often karmic, especially for women. Cultural conditioning, spiritual beliefs, and personal values should guide intimate decisions, not peer pressure or fear. After major life transitions like divorce, discernment and healing are crucial before entering intimate relationships.

In this soul-stirring episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Flavio Souza-Campos—an award-winning hypnotherapist, author, and spiritual guide—to explore the deep emotional and spiritual roots of romantic pain. From heartbreak as a sacred initiation to transforming unconscious patterns in love, Dr. Flavio shares profound insights from 30 years of experience and over 44,000 sessions. The conversation unpacks how most life problems are ultimately spiritual in nature, and how hypnotherapy, mysticism, and inner transformation can help us rewire love itself.

In this soul-awakening episode of Pleasure Principles, Avik is joined by transformational coach, award-winning author, and TEDx speaker Christian de la Huerta. Together, they break down what it truly means to love consciously, dismantling myths around romance, validation, and the pursuit of wholeness. Christian shares how love, when rooted in self-awareness and responsibility, becomes a liberating force rather than a dependency. He also explores the profound role of breathwork in emotional healing and relational depth offering a practical and spiritual path toward inner connection. About the Guest: Christian de la Huerta is a globally respected voice on personal transformation and conscious relationships. With over 30 years of experience, he’s the author of Awakening the Soul of Power and Conscious Love, and leads workshops on breathwork, empowerment, and soulful living. Christian blends psychology, spirituality, and energy practices to help people heal, reclaim their power, and deepen their human connections. Key Takeaways: Conscious love requires intention, courage, and deep self-awareness—it's not about being completed by someone else. Common myths like “finding the one” or needing others to “make us happy” lead to disempowered relationships. Breathwork is a transformative tool that can heal trauma faster than traditional talk therapy, reconnecting us to body, spirit, and presence. Real relationship growth begins after the honeymoon phase, where love shifts from feeling to committed action. Self-worth and presence are the foundation for attracting and sustaining deep, fulfilling relationships.

In this episode of Pleasure Principles, we delve into the evolution of intimacy—from the fading spark in long-term relationships to the profound depths of sacred sex. Dr. Bruce Chalmer, psychologist and author of Reigniting the Sparkand Betrayal and Forgiveness, joins us to challenge the idea that communication alone saves relationships. Instead, he unpacks how couples can reclaim intimacy by navigating fear, rebuilding trust after betrayal, and practicing emotional presence. We explore the difference between plain, good, and sacred sex, and why faith—not performance—is the foundation for long-term love. About the Guest: Dr. Bruce Chalmer is a psychologist with over 30 years of experience in couples therapy. He specializes in intimacy, betrayal recovery, and emotional repair. He’s the author of Reigniting the Spark and Betrayal and Forgiveness, and co-hosts the podcast Couples Therapy in 7 Words with his wife, Judy. His approach is grounded in “Be kind. Don’t panic. Have faith.” Key Takeaways: Intimacy fades not due to failure but from over-prioritizing stability and avoiding emotional risk. Most couples don’t lack communication skills—they just communicate mistrust, resentment, or fear. There’s a difference between plain old sex, good sex, and sacred sex—each requires deeper presence and connection. Forgiveness isn’t forgetting—it’s remembering wisely and choosing to release the burden. Betrayal can be a wake-up call that leads to deeper intimacy—if both partners are willing to grow. Faith is a practice—believing in the possibility of healing, even in the hardest moments.

In this episode of Pleasure Principles, we explore how fantasy—often dismissed as escapism—can actually be a portal to healing, intimacy, and deeper self-understanding. Our guest, Violet Lange, shares her transformative perspective on fantasy as a sacred, embodied practice. From dream encounters to devotional dominance, Violet illustrates how aligning imagination with embodiment leads to personal breakthroughs and richer relationships. About the Guest: Violet Lange is a Harvard graduate, spiritual coach, Reiki Master, and the creator behind Sacred Sensuality and Evolutionary Couples. Known as a cosmic matchmaker, she has guided hundreds of women from heartbreak to healthy relationships using a unique mix of embodiment, energetic alignment, and conscious desire. Violet even met her partner through a vivid dream—proof that fantasy, when trusted, can manifest reality. Key Takeaways: Fantasy isn’t fluff—it’s a tool for rewiring reality, especially when paired with embodiment. Desires often hold subconscious truths; when explored with safety and intention, they heal old wounds. Shame around sensual fantasy often signals deeper unmet needs or suppressed energies. Simple practices like breathwork and placing hands on the heart and belly help anchor desire into the body. When grounded, fantasy transforms from escape to compass, guiding us to love, creativity, and alignment.

In this raw and revealing episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik sits down with Teresa Rosario—single mom, podcast host, and the unfiltered voice behind Prosecco Queens—to unpack the messy truth about healing from long-term toxic relationships. Teresa opens up about the pivotal moment she stopped pretending, how co-parenting with an ex can still be traumatic, and why rebuilding your identity after heartbreak is both painful and powerful. Together, they explore emotional resilience, boundaries, and the emotional cost of being raised without emotional connection. If you've ever felt stuck in love or unsure how to let go, this one’s for you. About the Guest: Teresa Rosario is the candid, witty host of Prosecco Queens Podcast, known for turning heartbreak into humor and truth into transformation. A single mom navigating life after betrayal, Teresa uses her voice to support others dealing with emotional chaos, co-parenting complexities, and the journey back to self-worth.

Grieving living—especially while co-parenting—is real and complicated. True love never requires you to abandon yourself. Dating today is often gamified, but authenticity still wins. Boundaries are not walls—they’re bridges to peace.

In this eye-opening episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, to dissect the overlooked realities of STI testing. After contracting oral gonorrhoea that went undetected by standard tests, Robert discovered a widespread blind spot in sexual health care. He now leads a telehealth revolution offering radically honest STI testing that includes throat swabs—something most clinics skip. This raw, direct conversation unpacks stigma, testing misconceptions, and the need for patient advocacy in the bedroom and the exam room. About the Guest: Robert Johnson is the founder and CEO of Shameless Care, a mission-driven telehealth company redefining STI testing. His journey began with a personal wake-up call—testing negative while unknowingly carrying oral gonorrhoea. Today, Robert leads the charge for comprehensive, stigma-free sexual healthcare, delivering medically thorough and honest STI testing and sexual wellness services. Key Takeaways: Standard STI panels often exclude throat and anal testing—critical omissions in today’s sexual culture. 80% of positive gonorrhoea cases at Shameless Care were oral-only, which typical tests would miss. Emotional fallout from STIs is more often about stigma than actual health outcomes. Transparency, education, and direct communication about testing are essential, especially in non-monogamous communities. Radical access to STI testing doesn’t enable recklessness—it corrects dangerous blind spots. Connect with Robert Johnson: Visit www.shamelesscare.com for comprehensive STI testing and free educational resources, including a doctor-friendly video explaining throat swabs.

In this thought-provoking episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with transformational guide Michael Tierno to unravel the depth and complexity of conscious love, sacred polarity, and the evolving dynamics between the divine masculine and feminine. Michael shares how honoring these inner energies—rather than suppressing or equalizing them—can create lasting intimacy, reignite passion, and build trust in relationships. The conversation challenges the modern binary of sameness in relationships and invites listeners to explore presence, polarity, and self-growth as the foundation for real connection. About the Guest: Michael Tierno is a transformational guide, co-founder of Men of Integrity, and a facilitator of rites of passage retreats. He blends ancient wisdom with modern masculinity to help men move from trauma to truth. Through his work with expanded state journeys and sacred relationship mentoring, Michael empowers individuals to embody both masculine strength and emotional depth in service of conscious love. Key Takeaways: Conscious love is not about perfection but presence and polarity. Women need safety and trust; men thrive on feeling useful and respected. Sacred sexuality deepens through energetic tension, not sameness. Slowing down and active listening can heal communication rifts. Embracing both masculine and feminine traits creates wholeness in all genders.

In this soulful episode of Pleasure Principles, host Avik Chakraborty dives deep with relationship coach Amber Lavin on the often misunderstood link between intimacy and nervous system safety. Together, they unpack why we might crave connection yet shut down, how our early attachment patterns shape adult intimacy, and why feeling "lit up" can sometimes mean dysregulation—not love. If you've ever confused chemistry with connection, or if emotional safety feels elusive, this conversation will resonate. Amber shares clear, embodied ways to shift from anxious attachment to grounded, meaningful relationships—and reminds us that love isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. About the Guest: Amber Lavin is a relationship coach based in Asheville, North Carolina, specializing in the mind-body connection, attachment theory, and embodied dating. Through her practice, Amber guides women out of heartbreak cycles and into secure, fulfilling relationships—without chasing fantasy. Her approach blends neuroscience, somatic regulation, and the healing power of authentic self-connection. Key Takeaways: Intimacy begins in the body: safety and regulation are prerequisites for real openness. Common signs of nervous system dysregulation include chronic tension, headaches, or emotional confusion during dating. Childhood attachment patterns shape our adult relationships—but they can be rewired. Embodiment helps us detect red flags early and avoid trauma bonds masked as “chemistry.” Real intimacy is not the spark of dopamine, but the slow burn of safety, vulnerability, and presence.

In this thought-provoking episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we tackle a crucial yet often misunderstood topic—Toxic Positivity. Society tells us to "just think positive" and "look on the bright side," but what if constantly suppressing negative emotions is doing more harm than good? Joining us today is Phillip Quinones, a licensed mental health professional with a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Georgia State University and a Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology from Brenau University. With years of experience in private practice and coaching, Phillip helps individuals navigate their emotional landscapes in a way that promotes authentic healing rather than avoidance.

In this deeply raw and honest episode of Pleasure Principles, host Sana sits down with Natalini Joy—creative visionary and former CEO—who walked away from power and prestige to reclaim her body, pleasure, and sovereignty. Together, they unpack Natalini’s transformative journey from sexual trauma, codependency, and addiction into empowered self-pleasure, energetic lovemaking, and a renewed sense of wholeness. Through vulnerable storytelling, she challenges the cultural stigma around female sexuality and shares why pleasure isn’t just a right—it’s a responsibility. About the Guest: Natalini Joy is a creative force who left behind a high-profile career working with icons like Deepak Chopra and Sadhguru to follow her inner voice. Her work now centers around guiding others—especially women—toward embodied healing, sexual sovereignty, and emotional reclamation. With a powerful blend of lived experience and deep wisdom, Natalini helps people rediscover their self-worth and sensual power. Key Takeaways: Sexual freedom and sovereignty are not side-effects of healing—they are the healing. Cultural and familial conditioning can deeply shape sexual shame, but it can be unraveled. Self-pleasure is a spiritual practice and a gateway to self-trust, not selfishness. Sovereignty requires responsibility—owning your desires and boundaries fully. True healing comes from internal agency, not external validation.
