What It Takes to Be a Man
Our culture is awash with messages about "how to be a man." We're told to make more money, have more power, be an alpha, and have a ton of sex. Is that what really validates a man? Justin and Blair discuss this question, and more, in Episode 2 of The Liberation Project.

Redefining Hot Sex, Part 1: Why Men Secretly Want to Spoon
In this episode, Justin and Blair discuss our sexuality as men. What are we really looking for in sex? They discuss pornography, connection, and many of the other concepts that accompany sex (both healthily and unhealthily).
Yours eyes will be opened to a whole new paradigm to sex and what it REALLY means to get our needs met.
A few quotes from the episode:
-Sexuality is wrapped up in our greatest desire and our greatest shame. BR
-What are the things inside of us that drive us towards sexuality? JS
-What about our emotional journey is also tied into sexuality? JS
-We have been sold a lie that men are nonemotional creatures. JS
-As men, we are terrified of facing our emotional pain, so we have to come up with an excuse not to face it. JS
-Our culture says have sex and you'll be connected. What we need to think is, what are the needs that we need to be met, and then have sex. And if we can correct the way we are doing this, sex becomes healthy. BR
-Pornography is the cheapest substitute for what we actually need. BR
-Pornography is a false connection. BR
-I don’t people have an issue with pornography, I think they have an issue with intimacy. BR
-We must ask ourselves, are there other things that are driving my sex drive? JS
