Part 2: Who should initiate sex and intimacy in relationships?

from Closeness · host Tari Mannello

Ever wondered why women often don’t try again after approaching or initiating just once? The truth is, rejection cuts deep—often more than you realize. In this episode, we’ll unpack how intensely women tend to internalize rejection and explore what both partners can do to navigate this delicate dynamic. Spoiler: it’s not just about the initial “no,” but how that “no” is communicated.Rejection is part of life, but few people truly know how to handle it—or give it—with grace. That’s why we’re breaking it down: how to say no compassionately, without crushing someone’s confidence, and how to receive rejection without letting it derail your sense of self-worth. Mastering this skill isn’t just for dating—it’s essential for life. Whether you’re meeting someone new, in a long-term relationship, or navigating marriage, understanding how to reject (and be rejected) gracefully can make you a better partner, friend, and human being.This isn’t about sugar-coating; it’s about connecting with empathy while staying true to yourself. Ready to level up your social skills and understand rejection from a whole new angle? Let’s get into it.Are you ready to come closer?Closeness CoachingCloseness on YouTube

And even harder to get close to. The funny thing is, the one thing I want more than anything in life is to feel a genuine connection and closeness with somebody who truly understands me. In my later years, I have grown to be more transparent, not just for others, but to help me understand and learn about myself more. I hope this brings clarity.Music from Daniel Radovanovic. Explicit Kinky Yogi Podcast Bryn Wolf Sex, Love and Authenticity: The path of the (kinky) yogi is to dispel shadows of fear and enlighten. Your host, Bryn (The Kinky Yogi), is an Intimacy Coach, Cultural Anthropologist, and long time yoga teacher, who guides you to the edges of what's comfortable and brings light to worlds often left in the dark. This podcast will challenge what you think you know about kink, sexuality, and what it means to be human. Intimate interviews reveal perspectives on vulnerability, closeness, s3x work, and humanity. In the end, we all want to be closer and learn how to live and love authentically. Explicit IF I MAY BE SO BOLD Daniel Epstein If you’re like us, you didn’t grow up in an emotionally honest home. Because of this, having healthy relationships as adults has sometimes felt impossible. On this podcast, be a fly on the wall as we, Dan and Justin (a real life couple), learn how to love each other and ourselves unconditionally. Often it’s messy: we overthink, try to control each other, and fall into old patterns. But each time we work through it, something happens on the other side— more closeness, deepening, humor, and a new understanding of the word “love”.Insta: @iimbsbEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
