Eric Fitz - Psychologist, Consent and Sex Expert

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Eric Fitz, psychologist, former professor, and author of The Better Man, for a deep and grounded conversation about consent, masculinity, rejection, and what actually creates attraction and intimacy.We explore why scripts, pickup lines, and surface-level confidence techniques fail — and how true consent is not about “getting a yes,” but about mutual desire, attunement, and emotional presence.Dr. Fitz explains why many men struggle in dating and relationships not because they lack tactics, but because they were never taught how to understand their emotions, regulate rejection, or build secure relational foundations. We unpack how consent really works before, during, and after intimacy — and why curiosity, not performance, creates safety and desire.Topics include:Why consent scripts don’t work without emotional maturityHow men can reframe rejection without collapsing their self-worthThe role of grief, friendship, and community in male emotional healthWhy pickup culture mimics confidence but avoids real intimacyEmotional vulnerability vs. emotional dysregulationMasculine/feminine polarity myths and what actually sustains attractionHow attunement repairs disconnection in real timeWhy long-term intimacy requires inner work, not shortcutsThis episode is essential listening for men who want healthier relationships, deeper sexual connection, and real confidence — and for anyone interested in how consent, desire, and emotional development actually work in practice.Website: https://drericfitz.com Instagram: https://instagram.com/drericfitzThe Better Man: A Guide to Consent, Stronger Relationships, and Hotter SexFor a Video only, typology based dating app, go to www.amoraea.com!
