"Intelligence isn’t just academic or emotional. Even sex requires sense." - Rodney


Do you take your pleasure seriously? If you do, this episode is for you.
Sex is one of those scary things in our society that everybody loves but still loves to hate. Whenever we talk about being the best version of ourselves, everything else comes up, except sex. It's naught but an afterthought. Rodney uses the opportunity to challenge this mindset.

In this episode, he debuts an original idea: sexual intelligence which encourages one to think beyond the bedroom, beyond the physicality of sex, to be thoughtful about the power of pleasure, the gift of sex, and the intelligence it requires.

Rodney goes deep-- exploring the nuances of bad sex, good sex, and great sex -- what it means to be a good lover -- a sex god! He believes that if you have a sex life, you have a responsibility to make it as good as it can be and it should positively affect other aspects of your life. The episode also addresses celibacy, orgasms, the sex toy industry, and the overlap between creativity and sex. All for your listening pleasure. This is the YoungGod on demon time!

"... and that's how a mother loves a man into hating women."

Rodney makes the bold decision to address the menace of misogyny on Women's/Mother's Day weekend. Misogyny has many different origins but this episode looks at the strain of misogyny that is rooted in a man's relationship with his mother (oedipal misogyny as Rodney calls it). In this episode, Rodney holds up a mirror to men and mothers. He explores the vicious cycle of hurt men hurting women, who in turn hurt men. Rodney also offers a resolution to the tension, some food for thought that will leave you with a better understanding of the conscious and unconscious gender dynamics that influence our daily lives.
