When intimacy is withheld, the real issue is often respect, not technique.

This episode is for founders, leaders, and mentors carrying responsibility while their partnership quietly dries out.

You may be living inside an unspoken “monogamy contract” that still exists, while the conditions have changed.

We unpack how silence, power dynamics, and lost self-respect turn sex into a battleground.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why “sex withdrawal” often signals a deeper breach of respect and agreement.

• The contract mechanism: old commitments kept, new conditions ignored.

• A practical reset: clarify your real values and name what is non-negotiable without trying to manipulate your partner.
