268. Initiating Sex: Emotional Strength and Presence Make Men More Attractive

Emotional strength and grounded presence are essential when initiating sex, in the context of long term relationships. In today's episode, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell discusses how boys are raised and how that upbringing sets them up for failure as men. This shifts when men become more comfortable with vulnerability and presence; in the process attraction increases and relational connection deepens, all of which leads to a loving yes from a woman, and more fulfilling sex for both of them.
