Beyond Sexual Hunger

On semen retention, desire and a different way of being with male sexuality

A conversation between Ellie Wilde and Shakti Sundar of New Paradigm Relating about semen retention, sexual energy and what becomes possible when men create space to feel themselves beyond the pull of sexual hunger. We also venture into more challenging territory - the growing divide between men and women, sexual violence, compassion, and the responsibility both men and women have in creating healthier ways of relating. At the heart of the conversation is an exploration of the issues men face, and what genuinely helps them develop greater choice, connection and a more fulfilling relationship with their sexuality.

Reclaiming Masculine Energy

The hidden gifts of semen retention, embodiment and coming home to yourself.

A conversation between Ellie Wilde and Gayatri Beegan for the Initiated Man Summit, exploring conscious sexuality, ejaculation awareness and the hidden gifts of semen retention. We talk about how learning to stay with sexual energy can build nervous system capacity, deepen embodiment and bring a man back home to himself — and how intimacy can change when there is less attachment to outcome, creating greater space, agency and choice for both partners.
