In this episode, I continue my deep dive with Habeeb Akande on crucial aspects of relationships, focusing on understanding men, emotional intelligence, and the dynamics of femininity and masculinity. We touch upon sensitive yet vital topics like the pleasure gap, communication styles between genders, and how cultural practices impact sexuality and sensuality. Laced with anecdotes and insights from Akande's work, this conversation aims to foster empathy and intimacy in relationships while dispelling myths about men's emotional capacities.
