Why Men Can’t Take Sex Seriously (And How to Fix It) | Closeness

from Closeness · host Tari Mannello

If your partner has ever said you don't take sex seriously enough, this episode is for you. Intimacy Tari has spent over a decade working with couples, and one pattern comes up more than almost any other: men who use humor, jokes, and playfulness as an escape hatch the moment intimacy starts to deepen. This isn't about being too silly. It's about never having been given a model for masculine erotic presence — and compensating with behavior that quietly kills sexual tension. Tari explains what's actually driving the deflection, what women are asking for when they want a man to "show up," and gives two actionable, body-based shifts any man can start using immediately.

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.
