In this episode, we’re talking about sex, intimacy, and the way so many men are taught to treat sex like the only way to feel loved, connected, reassured, or validated in a relationship. We’ll discuss why men and women often experience sex differently, why many men struggle to connect emotionally in other ways, and how sex can become a bargaining chip in relationships affected by addiction. We’ll also talk about why no one owes someone access to their body in exchange for sobriety, good behavior, or being a decent partner, and what healthy intimacy actually looks like when trust, emotional safety, and connection are present. If this has been a sore spot in your relationship for a long time, this episode is for you.
