#041—MOVING BEYOND MAINTENANCE SXX - A CALL FOR CONSCIOUS INTIMACY - S4 E5

In this powerful, solo episode of CONSCIOUS DOMINANCE, Eric confronts the shadow side of masculine sexuality—how we unconsciously use maintenance sex to medicate emotional wounds rather than face our loneliness directly. He challenges men to examine the water they swim in: Are you using your partner as emotional comfort without awareness? The path forward demands radical honesty. This isn't just about better sex—it's about becoming the architect of your relational reality instead of its unconscious prisoner.About Conscious DominanceThe Conscious Dominance podcast was born from weekly conversations between two friends, Andrew & Eric. Every week, we would connect and talk about the ways that our roles as Dominants in long term, loving Dominant/submissive relationships were calling us to higher integrity, and demanding the absolute best from each of us as men. And in those conversations, we realized how much other men might benefit from being let in on these conversations. So we started recording them for you.
