Sex In The Soviet Union

, , ,

Money and sex are two topics that make people squirm in their seats. But what if we told you there’s a way to have a healthy relationship with both? In this episode, Igor shares some surprising insights on the connection between money and sex, and how understanding this connection can help you improve both aspects of your life. Get ready to step out of your comfort zone and dive into a conversation that’s long overdue. It’s time to redefine your relationship with money and sex, and Igor is here to show you the way.

[00:00] In this episode, Igor talks about how to have a better relationship with money. He shares some tips on how to change the way you think about money, how to manage your finances, and how to use money to create a life you love.

[01:24] The Problem With The Soviet Union:

  • The Soviet Union did fall apart and the government supposedly changed, but the way people were and the way the governments were, didnā€™t.

  • The one thing thatā€™s really universal for pretty much all post-Soviet Union territory, is that people had a really nasty relationship with two things.
  • They werenā€™t openly discussing it, they had negative beliefs about it, and the two things were sex and money.

[02:44] Where Do Babies Come From?

  • They had fewer hiccups about crime, stealing, lying, cheating, being bad to each other, mistreating each other, but they had lots of negative beliefs about sex and money, and particularly about sex, and what was going on there was people pretending sex didnā€™t even exist.

  • So there were babies born every day, although the hospitals were crap, and the mortality rate was really, really high.

  • But, in terms of where babies come from, there was this huge denial, ridiculous denial that people just seemed to go along with, as if sex doesnā€™t even exist.

[04:11] The Self-Feeding Cycle:

  • Youā€™re being celebrated just for being rich. And thatā€™s why people who are just celebrities, theyā€™re being celebrated for being celebrities, therefore being rewarded with more money, and the more money they have, the more theyā€™re being rewarded.

  • Itā€™s a self-feeding cycle, and on one hand thatā€™s great, but on the other hand, people who are not celebrities and people who are not rich, they still have a negative set of beliefs that they carry with them about money at all times.

  • Some of them pretend that just like sex in the Soviet Union, money doesnā€™t even exist, meaning that they will happily get handouts from the government, and apply for social security. They will try to milk their credit card processor for an extra point on their travel miles, but they will reject the idea that money is out there, itā€™s easy to come around.

  • They will absolutely ignore the fact that moneyā€™s a good thing, they will pretend moneyā€™s a bad thing. They will say things like, ā€œI would rather be healthy and not rich,ā€ which is an actual thing people say.

[10:39] Money Is Important:

  • Money is prevalent. So money is important and typically, Iā€™m struggling to keep friends that have a negative relationship with money.

  • Your relationship with money is a real thing. Itā€™s like your relationship with a family member or a friend, or someone else.

  • Itā€™s like a real person in your life, and if you constantly tell them they are not important, if you tell them they donā€™t matter, if you tell them that you donā€™t have time for them, or if you tell them that youā€™d rather have a relationship with someone else than them, then money will never come to you, and even if it does come to you in some weird way, like inheritance or something, it will quickly walk away.

  • Youā€™ve got to start rethinking that. Youā€™ve got to start to pay attention to all the money youā€™re making, and especially the money youā€™re not making, because thereā€™s a lot more of it out there.
