Some Guy Equates A Breach Of Contract Between Partners In A Therapy Practice To A Sexless Marriage And My Response
Yet another man on the internet tries to mansplain stuff about sex to me even though I am literally a person who tells women to have more sex. Hey guess what everyone, men aren't pure victims. Just like women aren't. I fix the analogy and remind everyone that life is complex and that women aren't bait and switching unless it's the same Lifetime movie where the man has a secret second family. AKA most people aren't sociopaths and life isn't black and white!

Nobody "Has The Power" In An Unhappy Marriage
Often, men think that the woman "holds the power" if she has a lower sex drive... just like how women think the man "holds the power" if he has a lower desire to be emotionally close. The reality is that nobody is happy or feels powerful in an unhappy marriage, not the anxious partner or the avoidant one! Here's how to rethink this, as well as why it can be transformative to understand that women in no way LIKE rejecting their husbands for sex!

Responsive ROMANCE!
Remember, more women have sex when they don't want to than men are romantic when they don't want to be... because men more are avoidant. So here's what to think about if you think romance should be "organic"... based on what I've already taught you about responsive desire in women!

Yes, Sex Is A Proxy For Connection. But, Connection Shouldn't Be Your Central Obsession Either!
Sometimes preoccupied attachment guys use my podcasts to tell their wives how it is normal for them to be super invested in their sex lives because sex is a proxy for intimacy and connection. But keep in mind that connecting with your wife ALSO shouldn't become a central and defining obsession! NO EXCEL SPREADSHEETS ARE HEALTHY, whether you're documenting date nights, conversations, or sex!

"Gaming" or "Hacking" Your Wife Makes Her Respect You Much, Much Less
Some guys go beyond "working on their marriage" and think they can somehow "hack" their wife to make her constantly desire them. This is silly and makes your wife think of you like a child. Here's how this dynamic plays out and why it is one of the worst things you can do!

What To Say To Your Husband When You Don't Want Sex... Instead Of Mean Stuff
Someone asked, "As the higher drive spouse in my marriage I do most of the initiating and hear “no” pretty frequently. Some no’s feel a lot more like a rejection than others. This is usually when they are accompanied by “we just had sex 4 days ago, you’re insatiable,” “you just have a one-track mind,” “you should just take care of things yourself,” “maybe if you had done [insert chore or criticism] I would have said yes,” “you don’t need sex, you just want it,” “maybe sometime later (typically with a vague date, often a week or more in the future),” or “what is wrong with you?” "I understand that often the answer is going to be “no” because she just isn’t in the mood, or the circumstances aren’t right, or she has her period, or there is some other barrier and this is just the way things are, but I wonder if at least the process/communication could be improved. Is there any chance you would be able to do a post on what best practice in saying “no” would look like in order to minimize the associated hurt and feelings of rejection to one’s spouse?" Here's the answer!

"You NEVER Act Like You Love Me/Kiss Me/Hug Me/Compliment Me!": The Preoccupied Woman's Lament
Thanks for subscribing! Today we tackle pursuer/distancer relationships, specifically one common interaction where the preoccupied attachment woman says the avoidant man NEVER does some expression of love, and he responds with the time and date of his last ten prior expressions. That doesn't work, so here's what will, why, and what is really going on here on a deeper level.

If Your Wife Has Never Experienced Sexual Frustration, This May Be Why She Thinks You're Coercive
Thanks for subscribing! I had an epiphany the other day that many of the women who consider normally-expressed male desire to be coercive have never experienced the physical feeling of sexual frustration. If your wife was never irritated, annoyed, sad, or frustrated by having to miss days of sex (due to travel, long distance, sickness, houseguests, or anything else), then she likely CANNOT CONCEIVE of what sexual frustration is, and therefore thinks you are bullshitting her with how upset you feel about a lack of sex. This episode can be transformative in empathizing with one another if you're a libido disparity couple! And of course a refresher on what coercion is and isn't.
