Lonely, Horny, or Hungry for More? Men and the Myths of Sex
with Dr. Eric FitzMedrud | ManKind Podcast

What if our hunger for sex is really a hunger for connection?

In this episode, Boysen Hodgson sits down with Dr. Eric FitzMedrud, therapist, educator, and author of The Better Man, to explore the emotional roots of modern male sexuality—and how many men are seeking healing in the wrong places.

From navigating rejection to redefining consent, Eric offers a grounded, compassionate roadmap for men who want to move beyond shame, loneliness, and entitlement—and into deeper, more meaningful connection.

Together, they explore the intersection of men’s work, emotional maturity, and sexual healing in a culture that rarely supports any of it.

🔥 Highlights & Takeaways

  • Why sexual entitlement starts with emotional hunger—not lust
  • The real difference between incel culture and men’s work
  • How to develop platonic touch, community, and friendship as a man
  • What it means to be emotionally resourced before entering a relationship
  • Dr. FitzMedrud’s dating profile “funnel” strategy that actually works
  • The role of co-regulation and consent in deeper intimacy
  • A powerful reframe: sex isn’t a need—it’s a gift to share
