What is a passive man? Do you know a man who is passive? Is he aware he is one? If you’re married to a passive man, how does that even work? Rick, a former passive man, literally wrote the book on it: Double Souled – Exploring Passivity in Men. This subject is seldom discussed, and mostly misunderstood. Today we define passivity, where it comes from, how pornography can be involved, and how wives can help, and love, their passive husbands.
