Show notes:







Today’s Man Alive podcast is one you don’t want to miss if you are a man who has wanted to feel more confident and grounded, in everything from love to sales to parenting.







It’s also one to listen to if you’re looking to reignite the spark in your relationship.







Or if you like to play on the edge with sensations, emotions and deep intimacy! 







Mia Cara and I had a Man Alive conversation about the power of rope bondage and sensual restraint. She teaches classes for people to have this exciting, connected experience. 







Beyond sexy play it is an experience two people can have where bodies connect and primal energies emerge without much trying or strategizing. 







The rope is secondary to the energy and intimacy that’s called forth.







In this place trust can be discovered, built or even repaired.







Also discovered is often a man’s solid sense of self, a knowing that he can handle whatever comes his way. Along with a woman’s relaxation and opening!







In our conversation we discussed:







* The impact of stepping into a grounded, “I’ve got this” energy – in sex, parenting and business* What naturally creates relaxation in the body, rather than trying to use the mind to do it* The intimacy that can be created through exploring the embodied masculine/feminine polarities* The importance of experiencing surrender yourself if you want to guide a woman there *  A way for couples to reconnect even if years have passed without sensuality
