#307 - Why So Many Men Mistake Sex for Connection

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode, we’re talking about sex, intimacy, and the way so many men are taught to treat sex like the only way to feel loved, connected, reassured, or validated in a relationship. We’ll discuss why men and women often experience sex differently, why many men struggle to connect emotionally in other ways, and how sex can become a bargaining chip in relationships affected by addiction. We’ll also talk about why no one owes someone access to their body in exchange for sobriety, good behavior, or being a decent partner, and what healthy intimacy actually looks like when trust, emotional safety, and connection are present. If this has been a sore spot in your relationship for a long time, this episode is for you. Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comSupport the Show:Buy Us a Coffee!Online Program: www.reclaiming-you.comSoberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsCheck out our blog:https://twfo.com/blogFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here
