In the second part, Aaron and Bernhard discuss the importance of embodying masculine attributes, the warrior archetype, casual sex, hook-up culture and polyamory, the corruption/sexualization of Tantra, the alluring attraction of porn and fantasy from a Taoist Occult perspective, male sexuality, self-cultivation (semen retention), the importance of emotional intimacy in relationships and when engaging sexually, toxic shame vs healthy shame, how men are becoming more isolated, the importance for men to bond with each other, and much more."
