In this episode we delve deep into the often avoided topic of sexual communication. We discuss the fear many men have around rejection and vulnerability within relationships, emphasizing that rejection does not always imply a permanent denial but a temporary circumstance. Through an open dialogue about sex, we argue that misunderstandings and misinterpretations can be avoided, and a better understanding between partners can be reached. We also highlight sexual habits of men, like the repetitive use of singular techniques in masturbation, which is not representative of the variety seen in partnered sex. We further explore the taboo around sex discussions and the importance of clear communication about desires and moods before engaging in sexual activities. The episode concludes with practical advice such as the 'twelve-hour sex rule' that encourages proactive communication and the scheduling of sex as a means to foster consistent affirmation within relationships. We believe that these proactive measures could lead to improved satisfaction and better sexual experiences in relationships. Enjoy the episode!
