Have you ever felt guilty for fantasizing about having sexual relations with somebody that wasn’t your partner? You’re not alone.
In this episode of Align Podcast, Wednesday Martin and I talk about all things sex. We discuss the myths around sex, monogamy and gender roles, the way we engage in modern relationships and why divorce rates are so high. We also explore what Heterozygosity is, the difference between pleasure and reproduction and how no kink is too weird if you’re into it. So if you’d like to hear us discuss the answers to questions like, 'Why is the female orgasm so different from that of men?' 'What is the purpose of the clitoris?' or 'Why are women more successful at dating apps?' have a listen!
Dr. Wednesday Martin is a #1 New York Times bestselling author and feminist cultural critic who blends science, social science, and storytelling to help you understand yourself—why you want what you want, feel what you feel, and do what you do—better. Her work has appeared in The Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Time, Psychology Today, and more. Dr. Martin was the regular sex columnist for Refinery 29 and Elle Italia, and she is the author of seven books including UNTRUE, a reconsideration of female non-monogamy across cultures and species. Critics called UNTRUE ‘indispensable’ and ‘revolutionary.'

Matt Maruca: What Is Light, How It Benefits Our Physical Health, And The Science Behind Colour Light Therapy | EP 411
In this episode of Align podcast, Matt Maruca and I talk about all things light. What is it, where does it come from and how does it affect our everyday lives? Light plays a really important part in our physical and mental health. It can alter our physiology, sleep, pain levels, sensitivity and even sexual function. We just need to learn how it associates with the human organism and how to balance our intake of it. We also discuss the villainization of the sun, how it relates to our existence, and how light can potentially be one of the best human healing mechanisms.
Matt Maruca is the founder and CEO of RA Optics, a stylish and science-based blue-light blocking glasses company focused on helping people improve their health using the science of light therapy for mitochondrial repair.

Stefanos Sifandos: Why We Cheat, The Meaning Of Infidelity And How Our Past Traumas Affect Our Relationships | EP 413
Have you ever felt constricted by society to have a certain type of relationship?
In today’s episode with Stefanos Sifandos, we talk all about sex and relationships. We explore why humans are inclined to cheat, the nature of our communication and whether an ideal style of relationship actually exists. Social constructs can often dictate what we believe to be right, but we don’t always have to follow the norm if it doesn’t work for us. We also discuss the true meaning of infidelity, the key factors to maintaining healthy relationships and how our past traumas can affect how we view ourselves as sexual beings.
Stefanos is a trained educator and relationship expert with a background in behavioral science. He is passionate about leading people closer to their highest potential and to each other. Stefanos’ philosophy merges the best of Eastern and Western methodologies to promote spiritual balance and empower people in life and love. From trauma release to navigating the at times murky waters of modern masculinity to helping women understand the men in their lives, he helps people escape negative patterns and cultivate a positive sense of self. Stefanos has also cofounded a world-class coaching and education institute and a global men’s empowerment movement. Stefanos has worked with thousands of men and women from all walks of life; special forces soldiers, Olympic gold medalists, elite fighters, and everyday people have relied on him to restructure and reframe their relationships with themselves and their loved ones.
