Man, all these common modern sex and relationship problems just keep coming back to being raised in single-parent or single-parent-like environments

Men, brothers, make sure to work on the following wherever you are in life, in line with the clip: - Shadow integration - Boundary drawing - Physical grounding i.e. get out of your mind and into your body - Existential mapping - what do I want from life? - Masculine frame - Ego dilution i.e. through voluntary work, feeding the poor, religion etc - What are my values?

My favorite part of my marriage is that everyone, including myself gets to see my wife in one way and then in private I get to be with her in a different way. It’s not a secret. Every adult person knows that it happens. But it is like our secret.

My therapist told me the "5 keys to healthy relating" 1) Know your needs (If you're not sure what they are, do some soul searching and discover them) 2)OWN your needs (Be ok with NEEDING something, like sex, or the more primal sex as Connor is talking about) 3) Say/communicate your need 4) Be ok with being told no OR accept the NO (This means be ok with being told no BEFORE you ask) 5) BE willing to ask again, and if its a major need find a compromise. Has helped me ALOT. A lot of guys don't OWN that they have needs because we feel like they're bad. But they're still our NEEDS. Just be willing to communicate them
