"My partner refuses to communicate"

"Can you save a relationship alone?"


This episode of Sex, Love & Elephants tackles one of the most provocative and misunderstood topics in modern love: the tension between masculine and feminine energy—and what happens when those energies fall out of balance. From 1950s gender roles to the feminist backlash of the '70s and the rise of the sensitive new age man, Dr. Cheryl Fraser guides us through the historical, psychological, and sexual shifts that continue to shape our romantic lives today.


What happens when women become over-functioning warriors and men lose touch with their strength? Why are so many couples disconnected in bed and at war outside of it? Dr. Cheryl breaks it all down through raw personal stories, decades of experience as a sex therapist, and an empowering four-archetype model—Sovereign, Warrior, Magician, and Lover—that will help you reconnect with your own essence and transform your relationship.


Whether you're tired of leading all the time, feel like your partner has gone emotionally limp, or just want to reignite the spark in your relationship, this episode invites you to rethink what it means to be powerful—and passionate—together.

(01:09) What masculine and feminine energy really mean—and why the labels are misleading

(04:48) The surprising truth about sexless relationships—and why so many couples stop making love
