I coached couples on my show for 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: HBO Max Good Sex. But because I ended up because 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: where I posted my content starting ten years ago was 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: on YouTube, and YouTube especially at the time, was a 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: majority male subscribership. Men found my content and so like, 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: I didn't set out to coach men or work with men, 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: but they found me and so they make up the 30 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: majority of my work. 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 2: Now, what is the biggest thing that you coach men 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,360 Speaker 2: on in the sex realm? 33 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: It's performance anxiety, correct how dysfunction or delayed ejaculation or 34 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: avoiding sex. It can look like a lot of things, 35 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: but for most men, they all come back to the 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: same thing, which is just that they are anxious around 37 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: their capacity or ability to perform, and they put so 38 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: much pressure on themselves to perform and it ends up 39 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: backfiring and causing their body to shut down or not 40 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: be able to actually have the kind of sex that 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: they want. In this like very tragic, sort of ironic 42 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: twist of circumstances. 43 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of that pressure though, is 44 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: and I'm not trying to call us women out, but 45 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: it is kind of we just I think that we 46 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: make up that it's so easy for them because it 47 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 2: kind of is like they they we need to be 48 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 2: more dated and corded in that area to like don 49 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: get you know, that's a isn't it like our libido? 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: Like we need it, we need time. So yeah, and with. 51 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 2: A guy, it's like it seems like they can just 52 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: be like straight to a bone, yeah, like it should 53 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: be easy. Then why why are you not going flat? 54 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: What's wrong with us? Are we not ready? 55 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: Like the head? And then they're like, oh my god, 56 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: already I was so afraid because I like her so much, 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: and now I'm afraid of that I'm not going to 58 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: do a enough job. And now she's looking at me 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: like yeah, yeah. We kind of trap them in this 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: in this scenario that that's hard to get out of, 61 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: because absolutely we do. We do sort of have this 62 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: narrative that like sex is complicated for women but easy 63 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: for men. Right, And by the way, that doesn't do 64 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: women any favors either, right, because it's not fair for 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: us that we should go into this thing that is 66 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: like universal and almost all humans have access to it 67 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: and most of us have some kind of a desirous 68 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: relationship towards it to then be like our baseline is complicated. 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: That sucks too, right, Like that makes that sets us 70 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: to expect that we're going to have struggles and difficulty, 71 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 1: and you know, kind of I believe if we allow 72 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: ourselves to believe that it can be easy, we can 73 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: allow it to be easy. That's a different conversation. But 74 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: because historically men can get aroused faster, and because they 75 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: evolved to ejaculate, that's the only way that all of 76 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: us got here, right for the most part, up until 77 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, IVYFT and even then, like we just we 78 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: don't get here without that happening. So so men really 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: evolved to be able to like pass on their genetic 80 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: material quickly and efficiently. Right, But that doesn't mean that 81 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: they necessarily have an easier time in today's world, where 82 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: we actually care a lot more about quality and about 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: consistency and about you know, emotional closeness and all the 84 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 1: other reasons that we have sex that are not related 85 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: to mating. 86 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 3: Right, So start from I mean as much as you can, 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 3: and I am interested. I'm actually really interested in everything 88 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: you do because I think that men just carry just 89 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 3: a different level of shame around it, you know, Like 90 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 3: I think women are more likely I think we can 91 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 3: all agree probably that women are more likely to share, like, hey, 92 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 3: I'm having this issue or this is a problem, But 93 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 3: I don't feel like men get the freedom to do 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 3: that for some reason, whether it's pride or just stereotypes 95 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 3: or whatever. When you start with let's just I don't 96 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 3: even know if this is the right way to ask this, 97 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 3: So you take it wherever we need to take it. 98 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: But when we're starting from point A with a man 99 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 3: and he says, I'm having trouble with intimacy, d you 100 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 3: go to or I'm having problems with sex? 101 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 4: Do you go to intimacy first? Are you like? How 102 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: are we like? Is it a love language thing? 103 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: Like? 104 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 3: Where do they start to get themselves in a better 105 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 3: position where this feels like a less overwhelming kind of issue. 106 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, great question. So it's very different when I coach 107 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: a man versus when I coach a woman, Because men 108 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: really need proof in order to buy into something. And 109 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: this isn't because I'm a woman or because it's sex coaching. Like, 110 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: this is true if you look at men like they 111 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: need to know that something is going to work. They 112 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: need to be like made clearer to their logical problem solving, 113 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: like reasoning mind. It doesn't actually need to in my opinion, 114 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: I think they believe a lot of cheff that doesn't 115 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: actually work, but they think that it does, right, So 116 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: they need evidence, and so I always start with them 117 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: in their physical body. So I always start by changing 118 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: or tweaking some things that they can do. Sometimes it's 119 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: really simple. Sometimes it's like breath work. Sometimes I'm like, hey, 120 00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: let me teach you this four to seven eight breathing 121 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: pattern that you can do before you're intimate with someone, 122 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: or before even you are intimate with yourself, before you masturbate. Like, 123 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: let's just teach you something that will change the state 124 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: of your nervous system, and let me show you how 125 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: just down regulating your nervous system can change the way 126 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: that you perform entirely. Right. So then they have a 127 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: couple experiences like that and they're like, oh, yeah, this 128 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: actually does kind of work. What else have you got, coach, 129 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Or maybe I asked them to tweak a couple things 130 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: about the way that they interact with their body. I 131 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 1: ask them to do a movement practice, but it's something 132 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: that's always based in the physical body. And then from 133 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: there I go to their minds, because now that we've 134 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: opened up their physical body, their mental awareness is starting 135 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: to crack open as well, and a lot of what 136 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: I do is related to mindset, like I was saying earlier, 137 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: If we have the mindset that our sexuality should be 138 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: complicated or that it should not be complicated, that alone 139 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: does a lot of damage. Also, any time that our 140 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: body isn't aligned with how we think it should be, 141 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: with what our mind is telling us, and we feel 142 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: like something is off right, we feel like we're broken 143 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: in some kind of way. Like if we could just 144 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: get with that these two things are out of alignment 145 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: and like soften around that, we actually could reduce a 146 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,359 Speaker 1: lot of the friction that gets in the way of 147 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 1: us actually like changing or transforming or kind of having 148 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: the sexual life that we want to have. From there, 149 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: I go into emotions because men historically have been taught 150 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: to suppress their emotions or that anger is the only 151 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: acceptable emotion for men, right, And so my work there 152 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: is allowing them to see that when you suppress your emotions, 153 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: you actually suppress all of them across the board. And 154 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: if you are suppressing anything in your life, you are 155 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: actually taking energy away from you know, your ability to 156 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: be present with your lover, to be with your children, 157 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: to be a great dad, to be great at your work, right, Like, 158 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: anytime that you're spending time and energy trying not to 159 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: feel something, it's a waste, right, right, So then I 160 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: try to teach them ways to experience their emotions that 161 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: feel safe and manageable and like gender appropriate and manly. Right, 162 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,239 Speaker 1: And then we sort of go from they're into things 163 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: like the relationship like love languages that you were mentioning, 164 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: like the erotic blueprints, which is another system that I teach. 165 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: So only once the physical, mental, and emotional sort of 166 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: realities of their situation have been addressed, which is all 167 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: work that they can do internally and just on themselves 168 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: before they ever bring this to a wife or a 169 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: girlfriend or a future partner. Only then do we then 170 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: start to look at the relationship and sort of the 171 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: dynamic that exists there. 172 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I mean there's some you know, if they 173 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 2: have intimacy issues, then they have a hard time in 174 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: the bedroom with people they care about. And then sometimes 175 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: where it's they they need to have that connection first too, 176 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: Like some dudes just don't like the straight hookups, like 177 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 2: they have to have that connection as well, So no 178 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 2: boners are. 179 00:08:51,640 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 3: Like my other question is there's like this rise on 180 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: like medicine, right, so it seems to me and maybe 181 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 3: this is just again media. What do we even know 182 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: right what is real and what is being fed to us? 183 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: But I have seen that the rise in no unintended 184 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 3: in that, but like that that there is this rise 185 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 3: in well, I don't know, these kind of conversations just 186 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: lend themselves to be in a seventh grader sometimes, but 187 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 3: there is this rise in you know, prescription medicines to 188 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: help men. And from what I understand of what you're doing, 189 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: it's kind of going like I kind of love this 190 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: because it feels to me like a whole body, whole 191 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: mind approach to sex instead of just going like, here's 192 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: your prescription, this is what you need to take to 193 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 3: be able to fix it. And I do love that 194 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: because I do think I think men just I have 195 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 3: so much more compassion than I did ten years ago, 196 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: you know, like I was very much a women are 197 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: incredible and men are just here kind of like I 198 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 3: know what had proven me wrong, you know. 199 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 4: For a very long time. 200 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: But I do love this idea that you're giving them 201 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 3: hope that they don't also need the medicines. Do you 202 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 3: feel like they default to that because it's harder for 203 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 3: them to say the hard things and find someone like 204 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 3: you to be able to help them. 205 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 1: Well said, yeah, thousand percent. I think we default to medicine. 206 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: I think all of us sort of like wish that 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: any situation we're dealing with could be solved by a pill. 208 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: I think that's like a very common desire, but even 209 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: more so for them because they are taught really to 210 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: treat their bodies like machines, and if the machine lacks 211 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: oil or like needs a new air filter or whatever, 212 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: just like you pop a pill and then the machine 213 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 1: works again. Right, It's like this very like machine mentality 214 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: as opposed to this more human mentality or human standard 215 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: that I tried to encourage men and women to have 216 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: towards themselves and towards men because I think that the 217 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: prescription drugs that are available for men in this specific 218 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 1: area are incredible, what a tremendous advancement, and I think 219 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: it's made it possible for a lot of men and 220 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: women to continue to enjoy a sex life where they 221 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: would not have been able to. But unless you fall 222 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: into that category of people for whom like you need 223 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: prescription drugs in order to get and maintain an erection, 224 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: or rather maintain we could talk about like how they 225 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: actually work, because they won't give you an erection. They 226 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: will only prevent you from losing one, but unless you 227 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,719 Speaker 1: really need them. I want people to be able to 228 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: function like without any assistance, which means spontaneously, which means 229 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: without having to go get a prescription, which means without 230 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: having to send money on a pill. And the issue 231 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: with the kind of the trend that's happening in our 232 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: world today is that younger and younger men are just 233 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: seeing the pill as an option that they begin to 234 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: take because they are a little nervous, so they want 235 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 1: a little extra help. But then maybe they've dating this 236 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: person for a while, but they've only ever taken the pills, 237 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: So then they continue to take the pill, and they 238 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: continue to tap the pill, and then they end up 239 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: in the situation where they have a dependency on it, 240 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 1: not a physiological dependency, but a psychological dependency where they 241 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: don't think that they can actually perform quote unquote sexually 242 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 1: without it. And then they end up in a situation 243 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: where now we actually have to like undo a lot 244 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: of the mindset and what they've sort of like worked 245 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 1: their way into when there was nothing wrong with their 246 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 1: body to begin with. 247 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: What's one of the things that because obviously these men 248 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: are very vulnerable with you, they trust you, what's one 249 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: thing that you're shocked to hear from these men when 250 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 2: they get really honest with their truth. 251 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: So, on one hand, I'm always shocked at how alone 252 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: they feel. That they often feel that they are the 253 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: only person who's dealt with what they are dealing with 254 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: the number of guys who have come into my office 255 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and said something like, you know, I'm sure you haven't 256 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: heard this before, and I'm like, I've been at this 257 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: for ten years. I've been was an expert sexuality and 258 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: a sex educator and a professional sexual health researcher and 259 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: Paul Sandus of ten years prior to that. There's very 260 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: little that I haven't heard in this time. And I 261 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 1: guarantee that you are so not alone. But it shocks 262 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: me in the sense that like they really do feel 263 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: that way. And for me, there's so many resources that 264 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 1: are available now on the Internet and beyond where like 265 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: you don't even have to interface with another person to 266 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: get support, and so the fact that they still feel 267 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: alone and they still feel like they're the only person 268 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 1: dealing with this. I think it's like it makes me 269 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: really sad, it shocks me, and it makes me feel 270 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 1: a lot of empathy towards them, because even with that 271 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: mountain of information and research available out there, they still 272 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: think that they are like dealing with this, they have 273 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: to deal with us in fact, like in isolation. And 274 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: the other part about that is that the amount of 275 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: shame that they feel around their sexuality as a whole. Now, 276 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: the guys they come to work with me are really 277 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: good guys. I want to be super clear about that, 278 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: because like they're they're the guys who are seeking out support. 279 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:08,719 Speaker 1: They show up and they're like, I want to be 280 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: an amazing lover.

The perimenopause chapter is very similar to that, this. 336 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: Is not who I am. 337 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: Right, remind men times that we text each other, take 338 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: me off this ledge, right, yes, exactly. 339 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the thoughts you can share with your girlfriends, 340 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: and then there's the thoughts that like that you would 341 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: never allow out of that circle. Yeah. Anyways, I guess 342 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: the part that kind of surprises me is just like 343 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: any When I say surprises, like, it feels good because 344 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: it dispels that story that I also had that like girls' rule, 345 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: boys dreel like they're just animals and all that, like 346 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: the self awareness that they have and the way that 347 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: they've been taught that their sexuality is dangerous and so 348 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: they feel responsible for keeping it under control and they 349 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: don't always know how to do that. To me, it 350 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: just I feel very empathetic towards them in a way 351 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: that I would not have gotten to. I think, if 352 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: I hadn't done. 353 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 2: This work, what would you, Because I think maybe we 354 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: only have a few male listeners. What would you say 355 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 2: to the wife that she should know, or because I 356 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 2: think it's important for them to again maybe not take 357 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: it personal, or ways to support your spouse and you know, 358 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: bring this up to them. 359 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. What we started talking about this earlier, that women's 360 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: arousal pathway is very different than men's. Right for us 361 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: twenty to forty minutes for us to become fully aroused. 362 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: For them, you know, it can happen, and it can 363 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: happen in literally seconds, right, and often the only scripts 364 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: or ways of even approaching a partner that they have 365 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: access to are so limited, and they're so sick to us, 366 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: they cause us to sort of like to pull back 367 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: and to bristle, is the response. I like bristle at 368 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: that advance. Right. What I want women to know is 369 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: that instead of assuming that it just this is the 370 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 1: way that it is, because this is how it was 371 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: in sitcoms when we were growing up. Was like the 372 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: dad was always like, hey, hell the hell a gimme 373 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: give me, you know, and then the wife had to 374 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: be like, you know, right, Like we don't have to 375 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: live that out right, but sometimes we as women, I'll 376 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: put myself firmly in this category. We will try to 377 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: solve everything on behalf of the entire relationship. Right. We're 378 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 1: the ones that book the couple's therapy. We're the ones 379 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: that read the books. Oh my god, I am divorced. 380 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: And when I tell you the number of hours that 381 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: I put into trying to like get my marriage to 382 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: work for years, it's time that I was well invested. 383 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad that I did it, but it's not like 384 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: it actually worked to save the relationship, right, But I 385 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: poured so much time and energy into it. And what 386 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 1: I really want is I want for women to tell 387 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: their male partners or spouses or husbands to say, like, 388 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: go learn about this. There are real you don't don't 389 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: don't like act like you have to know without asking 390 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: for directions. Okay, it's okay. Not all people came to 391 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: Earth understanding quadratic equations or how to make a soup 392 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: fle or how to have sex. It's okay, right, we 393 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,120 Speaker 1: all have to learn these things. I'll probably never learn 394 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: how to make a souffly. That's probably awful, yes, same, 395 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: but if it is important to you, you can learn 396 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: how to do it. So instead of continuing to try 397 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,359 Speaker 1: the same thing, hobo ho about you know, and getting 398 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: the same result, like go, learn how to approach me 399 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 1: in a way that makes it easy for me to 400 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: say yes. And by the way, that's probably asking me 401 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: in small increments like hey, do you wanna do you 402 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: wanna like a foot rub? It doesn't need to turn 403 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 1: into anything. I promise I'll want to rub your feet 404 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: for twenty minutes if you want to do uh, if 405 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: you want to snuggle after that, we can stuggle after that. 406 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: Can I like run you a bath. I'm not doing 407 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: this out of a place if I expect you to 408 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: be sexually available on the other side of it, But like, 409 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: can I do these things that might move you towards 410 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: wanting more touch, wanting more intimacy, even wanting sex. And 411 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: if at any point you're like, oh, that's actually not 412 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: what I want, great, just let me know. We'll back off. 413 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: But can we try? Can we do? Can we do 414 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: a little bit? Not can we go from zero to 415 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: one hundred? But can I do the things that may 416 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 1: put you in a position where you actually desire more intimacy? 417 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: And this isn't rocket science, It's just that it's you know, 418 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: it requires men, especially to acknowledge that they might not 419 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: know everything on this subject and there might be more 420 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: to learn. 421 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 2: To wrap up what is one of the best secrets 422 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,640 Speaker 2: in your book?

That 460 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: it's something that your body evolved to do, that the 461 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 1: cascading health effects are tremendous if you if you are 462 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: willing to you know, like me, like spend a bunch 463 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: of money on botox and NAD injections, consider also spending 464 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: time and energy on orgasms, like they are part of 465 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: the they are part of the recipe for a youthful life, 466 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: and not just a youthful appearance, like a a joyful, 467 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: exuberant life.
