43. Is it really that shocking that men are hiding their sexual behavior from their partners?

I’m not that shocked at what these men are doing in their sex addiction… If anything, I’m shocked more men aren’t doing it. Women are raised looking for a partner who will preserve the sexual energy for the relationship. Men are not raised this way… It’s actually quite the opposite. Men are raised to get more money, get better looking, and get the most attractive women they can get. Most men spend the first 25 years of their lives planning how they will become the man they aspire to be. Part of this is looking for ways to become financially successful. However, another big part of this is scouting for a woman who will meet the needs of your ideal relationship. Because of society's influences, the pornography industry, social media, movies, and masculine culture… much of this scouting process has nothing to do with relationships as much as it has to do with sex and sex appeal. It’s no wonder that men and women are so often on separate pages when it comes to preserving sexual energy for the marriage… Culturally, the two genders have been raised on opposite ends of the spectrum. In this podcast episode, I discuss why men are focusing on the wrong things when in recovery. And, what they need to start doing if they want to achieve long-term sobriety.
