Jan 08, 20262025 Tantra Talks Throwback! If you followed spiritual communities online in 2025, you likely noticed this topic: Polyamory, Aubrey Marcus, and “Radical Nonmonogamy”, etc., etc.

Beyond The Clitoris: A Dissertation On Female Pleasure Zones
Nov 27, 2025Beyond The Clitoris: A Dissertation On Female Pleasure Zones
There is a concerning phenomenon in the field of sexology involving the emergence of a nearly militant insistence that the clitoris is the ONLY source of female orgasm.
This viewpoint not only dismisses the lived experiences of millions of women but is also simply anatomically incorrect.
While the clitoris and its surrounding structures are indeed extraordinary, they are not the only sources of orgasm. Orgasms can vary significantly and can originate from various parts of the body...

The Perils of Compulsory Monogamy (And Why Polyamory Won't Fix This!) with Mel Cassidy
Nov 06, 2025The topic of polyamory seems to be everywhere these days. From articles in The Atlantic
describing it as the ruling class's latest fad, to the controversy surrounding Aubrey Marcus and “radical monogamy” (essentially polygamy), polyamory is highly present in the media right now.
But is polyamory really a new trend? Is it even new at all? Or is it a way of relating that predates colonialism and recalls a time when humans were less isolated and more communal?
In this week’s episode of Sex Is Medicine, Devi and Alaina speak with somatic relationship coach Mel Ca...
Can You Have Breast Orgasms? How and Why It's Possible....
Oct 30, 2025Is it possible for women to have orgasms from breast and/or nipple stimulation?
The short answer is yes! And here's why...
Studies have determined that there is, in fact, a neural link between the nipple and the clitoris. Stimulation of the nipples activates the same sensory area of the brain associated with the genitals.
Stimulation of the nipples activates:
Your Brain -Stimulating the nipples activates both the chest area and the genital sensory cortex in the brain.

Cervical O's 101 - Your Questions Answered
Oct 16, 2025Your cervix is PORTAL into ENLIGHTENMENT!
In Tantric Buddhism, the cervix is the bottom end of the Uma Channel (aka Shushumna Nadi, aka Central Channel).
In the genital reflexology system associated with Taoist sexual teachings, the cervix is the “heart point,” and stimulation of this zone can catalyze deep emotional release and opening.
Your cervix is one of the few organs of the body to boast triple innervation, with the hypogastric, pelvic, and vagus nerves all contributing pressure-sensitive pathways to this 3rogenous zone. In fact, your cervix is even MORE densely innervated than your clito...
Coming Too Soon? Here's How To Last Longer...
Oct 09, 2025Premature ejaculation (PE) is a sexual issue that affects approximately 1 in 3 men aged 18 to 59 in North America. It occurs when ejaculation happens sooner than desired during sexual activity. PE is considered the most common sexual disorder among men and can lead to depression, low self-confidence, erectile dysfunction, and relationship problems.
Conventional definitions describe premature ejaculation as a sexual dysfunction characterized by ejaculation that "always or nearly always occurs before or within 1 minute of penetration" and the inability to delay ejaculation in nearly all instances of intercourse. This often results in stress, frustration, and sometimes avoidance of sexual intimacy.<...

Tantra For Same Sex Couples
Sep 18, 2025Welcome back to Sex Is Medicine, your number #1 resource for holistic sex education. In this episode, Alaina and Devi draw on their combined 27 years of expertise to answer a listener's question: "Can you practice tantra as a same-sex couple?"
The answer is "Of course!", and here are a few things to consider:
It's essential to distinguish between authentic, lineage-based Tantra (real Tantra) and Neo-Tantra. Authentic, lineage-based Tantra involves energy body yoga and meditation, whether practiced sexually or non-sexually, and whether done individually (solo) or in partnership.
The concept of "polarity" in Neo-Tantra cre...
The Deliberate Deception of Orgasmic Meditation(OM)
Sep 11, 2025
***TRIGGER Warning - This episode addresses psychological abuse and manipulation from the perspective of survivors. Both Devi and Alaina are survivors of narcissistic abuse and are committed to exposing abusive dynamics within organizations.

Watching a public figure lie with impunity for over a decade has been deeply frustrating. Some of this frustration comes through in this episode.

The Impact of Racism on BIPOC Mental Health with Chioma Janelle
Aug 20, 2021Our ability to give, receive, and respond to pleasure is largely dictated by our sense of emotional and physical well-being. From a very basic physiological perspective, if you don’t feel safe – physically, emotionally, or psychologically – your sexual function simply doesn’t function. Or, certainly not as well as it could/should. There are a LOT of stressors in our Western lifestyle that can impact our sexual experience, many of which go unnoticed because they are so common and normalized. One ongoing and all pervasive stressor for POC that often gets overlooked is that of racism, and the impact of racism o...

How to Heal Body Shame and Feel More “Body-Love”
Jul 02, 2021According to recent studies, approximately 91% of cis-gender women are unhappy with their bodies. I too have spent most of my life at war with my physical body, attempting to starve and “cleanse” it into an idealized concept of beauty that only 5% of the population represents.
But all that has changed for me recently. I no longer feel a need to punish my body for not conforming to Hollywood’s standards of beauty. I no longer need to starve, cleanse, or raw food my body into submission. I have jiggles, and cellulite, and stretch marks, and a big, giant, juicy butt t...

The Dark Side of Modern Tantra and Sacred Sex in the West
Mar 12, 2021There have been several deeply disturbing exposes in recent years about sexual abuse, violations, and misconduct in the tantra and sacred sexuality industry. Several credible claims of abuse and misconduct have been lodged against various well-known tantra schools and at least one person has had criminal charges filed against them.

Mar 05, 2021Traditionally Buddhist Tantra has two paths to realization- that of the monk and that of the Tantrik yogi/householder.
Devi Ward Erickson was instructed in the sexual application of traditional Tibetan Tantric practices by her mentors and was given permission to teach the Tibetan 5 Elements for Sexual Healing by her root Lama, who falls in the latter category of Tantrik Yogi or Ngakpa.
Because most Westerners have been introduced to Tibetan Buddhist Tantra via celibate monks, there is a misconception that traditional tantra does not include or emphasize sexual teachings. Nothing could be further from the...
