We are the Open Nesters. We are the Baby Boomers and Gen X’ers who reject the traditional roles that our parents played and the empty nest syndrome. We defy the stigma of ageism, ailing health, empty retirement and a passionless sex life.

Together we explore the journey of re-discovering and reinventing our lives as our grown children leave the nest. We hear about the sides of people that have been left unexplored during a long-term marriage. The mysteries, fantasies and unmet desires and needs are laid wide open at this juncture in their lives. Their empty-nesting chapter in life is anything but empty! It’s an Open Nest, fulfilling, expansive, explorative, and raw. The stories reveal alternative lifestyles and explore how our generation is redefining life on their own terms.

In this enlightening two-part conversation, we engage with David about the concept of "open nesting"—embracing new possibilities and experiences at this stage of life.

To Erotic Healer
David shares his unique insights on vulnerability, relationships, and the courage to pursue a path of self-discovery. He recounts his previous role as a retired engineer at MIT, where he dedicated 17 years of his life before realizing it was time for a profound career change. Through the lens of his own experiences, he opens up about the estrangement from his daughters and the emotional toll it has taken on him. David discusses the impact of this estrangement and how it spurred him toward self-development, influenced by past guests, such as Dr. Joshua Coleman, who spoke about reclaiming estranged relationships.

As David navigated the complexities of reconnecting with his daughters, he reveals the significant lessons learned about communication and emotional openness. He discusses his introduction to orgasmic meditation, a practice that not only fosters intimacy but also serves as a gateway to greater self-awareness and body positivity. This meditation practice emphasizes being present and attuned to one’s own sensations, allowing participants to revel in their vitality and life force.

Throughout the conversation, we explore broader themes of aging and vitality, dispelling myths around the notion that one's sexual energy diminishes with age. David passionately argues that our life force is something to cultivate and nurture rather than resign to loss. He emphasizes the importance of integrating pleasure and self-care into our daily routines and how practices like orgasmic meditation can help maintain this sense of vitality.

David also provides a thoughtful perspective on BDSM, presenting it as an opportunity for relational growth and exploration within a safe framework. He illustrates how establishing boundaries and safe spaces enables individuals to address deep-seated traumas and have crucial conversations that might otherwise be daunting or unmanageable.

As we unpack David’s transformative path, it becomes evident that his journey is both a personal reclamation of joy and an outward commitment to supporting others in their quests for connection and health. The episode beautifully intertwines the struggles and triumphs of open nesting, reminding us that it is never too late to recalibrate our lives, pursue new dreams, and ignite our passions.
