Welcome to the Adam Lamb Adventure Club podcast. In this episode I spoke with Om Rupani.

Om is a BDSM educator in the NYC area. I first met him at his workshop “Dating & Dominance for the Modern Man”, held at his home in Jersey City. The workshop profoundly shifted how I relate to women, and paradoxically led to me taking a year off from pursuing them.

Om’s approach, based on two decades of data working with men, women, and couples, was somehow equally heart-felt and confronting. I found that many of his ideas were new to me, particularly in man/woman relating, sub/dom archetypes, and his view that modern feminism is synonymous with a disrespect of men.

After listening to all of his podcast episodes, which I highly recommend, I still had questions. Om was kind enough to give me an hour of his time.In this episode, we discuss: 

• Polarity

• Agreement

• Containment

• The importance of adoration in romance

• When to end a relationship

• Developing self-containment through meditation and physical activity 

• When to take a break from women

• The importance of men having male friends

• Porn & masturbation

• Om’s favorite depiction healthy masculinity in media

• Men as sex workers for women

• Feminism

• Growing up in India

• The Landmark Forum

• His path from student to co-facilitator with Laurie Handlers
