The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host What if the reason men don’t open up isn’t resistance—but protection? In this episode of The Pleasure Zone, we explore three often-missed pathways that create real connection with men, revealing why connection doesn’t begin with communication skills, emotional processing, or trying harder. These three hidden doorways show how connection is built through safety in the body, freedom from measurement, and permission to be fully human. Rather than offering surface-level advice, this episode invites listeners into a deeper understanding of how men experience intimacy through their nervous systems, their sense of trust, and their ability to relax out of performance. When these conditions are present, emotional and erotic connection naturally emerges. In this episode, you’ll discover: *Why men often disconnect first—not because they don’t care, but because their bodies don’t feel safe *How pressure, responsibility, and constant evaluation quietly shut down intimacy *The difference between being needed and being desired—and why it matters so deeply for men *How “helping” and “encouraging” can unintentionally sound like correction *Why men bond more easily when they are met without being measured *How trust and belief act as emotional and erotic permission *A simple but powerful question that helps men feel at ease and more willing to open *Experiential practices that shift connection from effort into presence Join Milica Jelenic, Sex & Intimacy Coach, Holistic Health Practitioner on this episode of The Pleasure Zone where we will explore "The Three Hidden Doorways to Connection".

What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers?
