In this episode of The Next Man Up, host Coral Osborne interviews Aaron Michael, a sexologist and intimacy coach, about modern masculinity, sexual shame, and how disconnection can block pleasure. Aaron shares his evangelical missionary upbringing, early curiosity about sexuality, and career shift from helping people overcome dating anxiety to teaching “embodied love” and practical protocols for deeper intimacy.
They discuss how people can lack concordance between psychological arousal, emotions, and physical response, and how taboo and power dynamics can trigger shame and shutdown. Coral describes her difficulty orgasming with a male partner, rooted in control and sex-work conditioning, and recounts a bodywork session with Aaron focused on embodied consent, active receiving, breathing, and regulation. Aaron explains mental arousal triggers, the erotic landscape, and a cervix–heart connection that led to Coral’s emotional release and “heartgasm.”
