306: Let’s Talk About Enhancing Pleasure for Gay Men – Dr. Israel Martinez

Sex, pleasure, gay men. How do we find the pathway to enhance our
sex and pleasure while letting go of the shame of growing up gay?
First and foremost we embrace that we deserve to be gay men and
experience pleasure. Helping us unpack the journey to pleasure is

Men: A Clinical Guide for Healing and Acceptance Through Better
Sex. During this provocative episode you learn:

How the baggage of gay shame prevents us from being in
pleasure

To discern what pleasure and intimacy means to you

to share that with a man
