Episode's summary
On this episode of The Next Man Up, Dave Asprey and Coral discuss Taoist longevity teachings on ejaculation frequency and orgasm, arguing orgasms benefit men but frequent ejaculation can reduce energy and life satisfaction via testosterone drops and prolactin rises. He describes tracking sex/ejaculation for a year, learning techniques for non-ejaculatory orgasm, and framing “conscious sex” as attunement and partner-focused surrender. The conversation links kink/BDSM and “brief intentional conscious exposure to pain” to dopamine sensitivity and trauma resetting, referencing Stan Grof’s birth-trauma model and parallels with neurofeedback and psychedelics. They discuss ego as survival imperatives, intuition and safety, yoni massage, finding ethical partners, and addressing sexual shame via therapy/EMDR, his “reset process,” and supportive partners or sex workers.

Garrain Asé: Radical Truth, Inner-Child Healing, and Rebuilding Intimacy
ListenedCoral Osborne of The Next Man Up interviews personal development coach and speaker Garrain Asé about identity as something fluid, creating spaces where “the child inside the adult is happy,” and how radical vulnerability became his life’s purpose. Garrain shares his hero’s-journey background - his father’s murder at 12, feeling racially in-between, juvenile detention and prison, over two years of homelessness, and $250,000 debt, before committing to personal development, repeatedly reading The Power of Positive Thinking, and publicly confessing hidden truths online, which he says led to messages from suicidal people and eventually to bestselling books, global speaking, and financial success. They discuss why humans crave “real,” how unspoken resentments explode in relationships, and how his separation with his wife led to deeper intimacy through accountability and truth, including co-parenting strategies to maintain a unified signal for their children. Garrain offers practices for shifting mindset through…
David Sutcliffe: From Hollywood to Dark Night of The Soul
ListenedIn this episode of The Next Man Up, Coral Osborne interviews David Sutcliffe, a former actor (Rory’s dad on Gilmore Girls) who transitioned in his late 40s/50 to become a core energetics practitioner, describing the modality’s somatic, psychospiritual roots and how group work helped him access rage, grief, and deeper connection. They discuss shadow integration, sexuality as a portal to unconscious material, and the importance of boundaries, proper qualifications, and humility for facilitators amid performative social-media “authenticity.” Sutcliffe explains why he interviews and “humanizes” figures like Andrew Tate, arguing society needs provocateurs to expose distortions, and shares his nonjudgmental approach and impressions of Tate. The conversation explores leadership, tolerating being misunderstood, spiritual acceptance of light and dark, partnership dynamics, men’s integrity and “frame,” women’s projections, and how mothering in relationships functions as control.

Stirling Cooper: Situationships, and What Makes Men Commit
ListenedStirling Cooper returns to The Next Man Up with Coral Osborne to discuss modern dating, commitment, and intimacy. Stirling explains how men often sort women into “wifey,” “situationship,” or “secret” categories, noting a man’s readiness to commit depends on whether his “door” is open, often tied to financial stability and life stage. They explore how women can move between categories via accumulated green/red flags, and argue men primarily want peace, appreciation, respect (especially in public), and to feel useful, rather than drama or “challenges.” They critique waiting too long to define intentions, suggest asking direct questions before sex, and discuss sexual chemistry, teasing/anticipation, and enthusiasm as key to desirability. They cover social proof, status dynamics, “what do you bring to the table,” vulnerability vs trauma dumping, and announce Sterling’s upcoming guides for women, including a blowjob guide and “Wifey Formula Decoded.” EPISODE THEMES📝 📌 Teaching Bedroom Performance 📌 Optimal…
