    Steve was so open and vulnerable in this episode, asking honest questions even through they made him uncomfortable. And Kate just avoided any concrete answers, any concrete examples, and only answered generally, with more generic questions herself.
    "What are men's miscoseptions about female orgasm?" No answer.
    "How should I have talked to that ex ex of mine about the issue we had?" - no answer, just generic points.
    "How do you apply your expertise in your personal life?" - "I'm not perfect" and then more generic phrases.
    Kate was given such a great platform to speak and spread awareness and help so many people start finding answers, and she didn't use it at all.
    I'm surprised, cause usually the guests on this podcast are straight to the point, honest, no bullshit, no generic phrases. And sex is so practical, you can explain on so many examples. Plus, so many important points were missing, such as sexual abuse or hormonal misbalance as reasons for issues.
    I watched many episodes here and loved all of them. But this one is a big miss for me. Giving this feedback because I loved and value everything else I watched on this podcast, and assuming anyone from he crew will ever read my comment. I hope Steve and the crew get another sex expert on the podcast, who would be willing to speak more openly. Both Steve and us the audience would benefit from it :)

    I think for a young man living the lifestyle you do it is very difficult to understand what is great about a long term relationship. I've been married almost 40 years and yes....we've had our highs and our lows and much in between ...but what a pleasure to have someone stand by me in the best of times and the worst of times. And to know that (for our standards) it was nothing we could easily throw away made us even more committed to finding ways to make it work and look for the fun and the best in each other. Not easy but satisfying in a way that many disposable relationships of today could never be.
    Bottom line is we make our life choices and it's up to each of us to make it a good choice.

    When I was younger I wasn't conscious of needing to breathe more fully during sex, and that I was going into a freeze response even with a person that I adored. The more fully we breathe, the more aliveness we bring to our body and this includes one's emotions....It wasn't until I was in my 30's and I'd learnt to be way more comfortable owning and articulating my feelings that sex became pleasurable because I would simply share my feelings and make sure I was with someone who could be present with me in those moments...Literally a game changer!

    What a brilliant conversation. I'd like to add something that's made a massive difference in my relationship.
    *It's very important for a woman to know her menstrual cycle well and inform her partner about it.*
    For example, there may be times during her cycle where she gets insanely turned on just by you touching her nipples, but then she may find it really annoying during her luteal phase.
    There are certain times during the month where sex will be hot and then other times where she may not get wet so easily.
    It makes a massive difference when you know these things. Because you'll understand it's not that she's not attracted to you, but she may simply need a different approach.
    Again, communication is the key xx

    If someone was having sex with you and then they aren’t, ask about THEIR feelings, not yours. Don’t make it about you. Make the topic about them. Ask them what they’re thinking and feeling, what they’re comfortable with, what they aren’t, what turns them on, what turns them off. The questions you need to ask yourself are: are you respecting them? Are you trying to connect with them? Are you listening to them?
    Although my libido is higher than most people I know, if I’m feeling majorly disrespected, unseen, unheard, and unloved, I will not want to have sex with that person. This isn’t just a woman thing. Men do the same things. Usually the sex is withheld or bad because one partner is not ready to have sex yet or there are relationship problems that are seeping into the sex life.

    I loved Steve in this. He was open, he was asking real life questions a lot of people are afraid to ask. And I felt Kate did everything she could to keep the conversation exclusively theoretical. I’m surprised Steve didn’t feel awkward every time he would talk about specific situation like when he didn’t know how to talk to his partner about the issue and Kate would just go into how the fear of rejection is something that people encounter a lot, that it is a common question, that the reasoning can vastly vary. I think it would be much more useful to people if Kate respectfully used real scenarios and gave examples of how people could talk about it or approach it in real life in simplest terms. I am confident it is possible to do without becoming to graphic or disrespectful to potential clients.

  • @PowerAndBalance
    @PowerAndBalance 3 роки тому +15

    This was really interesting to listen to. I think the most prevalent problem that people have in relationships nowadays is the inability and sometimes even unwillingness to work on things when they start crumbling down. For the first year of our relationship, my partner and I had issues in the bedroom but we were both willing to work on those things and try new things out because we wanted to make it work. We have now been together for three years and our love and relationship have grown so much. It's really important for both parties to be willing and to actually desire to make things work. If only one person is trying and the other one isn't willing to work things out it's like sitting down on a chair with only the front legs attached to it- you can't even sit on it! (couldn't think of a better analogy, so this will have to do:). But you also can't assume that the other person isn't willing to make things work. The best thing to do is to talk and ask them upfront if they want to work on this thing or not, it's as simple as that. It might take time for them to realise what they want, but if that's what they need, the other person should respect that.
    Anyways, I was listening to you Steven and it seems that you feel quite guilty about breaking up with your ex-partner. I don't know the situation exactly but it sounded like the ex-partner had difficulty communicating things with you in a way that would help you understand her situation better. There could be many reasons for that: issues with a previous partner, childhood trauma or just simply she has never talked to anyone about it before and so felt shy to talk to you about it. I am sure it was nothing personal and you shouldn't let things affect your future relationships. At the same time, I can empathise with your ex-partner as for some it's not easy to talk about intimate things even with their partner- it's something that requires a lot of work and trust. Anyways, if I were you and this was still bothering me, I would reach out to them (if they were willing) and tell them everything that was bothering me and I would make sure that they're ok. I think that this is a better way to end a chapter in your life rather than simply rip out the chapter and pretend that you will never think about it again because, let's be honest, you will be thinking about it every now and then and it'll consume you. Anyways, that's all I wanted to say, just speaking from experience and I know that a lot of people have probably gone through something similar. Wishing you all the best x

  • @quietecstasy8054

    Decentralizing sex for a moment and paying attention to other forms of intimacy and emotions rather than pressuring someone when they feel anxious for some reason would prob be helpful in that situation. It's normal for relationships to go through different seasons of a lot or a little. A lot of people feel pressure to keep up with the one who has the higher libido but a relationship should mean more than that and shouldn't have to be this performance to save someone feeling "rejected".

    • @evadebruijn
      @evadebruijn Рік тому +2

      agreed, however it is everyones own decision how much sexual incompatibility they are willing to live with. But it saves a lot of frustration when you accept the differences that will never change. I think the measure is not so much heights of libido but how much value is placed on sex. For some their sexuality is just not that important part of their personality/life, while for another it is a very important part of life. It is heartache for two people being together where this differs significantly. And what a relationship "should" mean is between the people choosing to be in the relationship and no one else. Normativity in such an intimate part of someones being (so not how to behave waiting in line before getting on a bus or something) is not healthy for it is such an individual and above all personal thing.

  • @itsmymy_xo
    @itsmymy_xo 3 роки тому +25

    Great episode. Here’s a potential solution to your problem. To your point at 1:23:06, I really think Kate Moyle’s statement about having multiple people in your life to fulfill your various needs instead of entrusting all of those needs in one person is extremely valid. I heard you say in a previous podcast that the 3 things you look for in a relationship are sexual attraction, intellectual stimulation and someone who makes you a better person. You also stated in this episode that you want a partner who is equally independent and can meet you in the middle whenever you have a free moment in your schedule. It also sounds like you have a decent degree of self awareness when it comes to acknowledging your patterns in past relationships in terms of recognizing your selfishness and need to learn how to compromise, but if compromise is something you don’t want to give time to, what’s the issue in being in a non monogomous or friends with benefits situation with someone you are intellectually stimulated by, sexually attracted to and makes you a better person? If you’re set on maintaining your busy lifestyle and only want to see your partner on occasion with minimal disruption to how your life currently operates, this dynamic can work well throughout your lifetime unless the underlying issue here is that you want something more from your romantic relationships. If that’s the case, I think it’s about deciding exactly what you want your relationship to look like and deciding what needs to be prioritized within a relationship in order to achieve your ideal.

    I would say that the depiction of sex in porn is also designed to absolve men of sexual anxiety. Women don’t require foreplay, they don’t require more time, they don’t require anything beyond fast penetration… performance anxiety for men in the porn universe doesn’t exist. There is absolutely zero rejection or disappointment.

    It feels that you both are completely missing the most important part of sex by talking about things from what seems like an external disconnected place (no wonder this would mean problems in the bedroom). In my view and experience, the fire of passion comes from heart connection, immense love and presence. I never heard either of you talk about this or mention it even once. If we are moving from the place of total loving presence you will have the most high, energetic, joyful, spiritual, deep experiences and will not need a bunch of toys and gagets to make things interesting. Love and presence is where the magic is.

    Wow I really appreciate Steven’s honesty in this episode. Issues with mismatched libido and preferences are sooo common. I’ve been in both situations - my first relationship was with a guy who had substance use issues and was on antidepressants that really impacted his libido and energy in general. In my last relationship I inexplicably lost all attraction for my partner, which may have been to do with stopping birth control. It’s awful but you can’t help it.

    I listened to this whole interview and haven’t come away with almost any concrete, tangible points of advice. It was a very vague, amorphous conversation, where a lot was said, but also not much of anything. The entire segment of “how to keep our sex life exciting” was of particular interest to me- and there was only about 30 seconds of information that was actually relevant and helpful.

    Just found your channel today and subscribed. I was married to a man who became non-sexual during the marriage. It was pure hell and the rejection is awful. I don’t think there’s a way to not take it personally. Don’t regret breaking up with your ex. You avoided the hell I went through.

    • @GwenMotoGirl
      @GwenMotoGirl Рік тому

      @Tatiana Charkova I’m so sorry that you went through this. I’m in a good head space now and I hope you are there or get there, too. My ex died a couple of years after the divorce, and took closure with him, so I’ve had to make my own closure. He married his affair, and did the same to her. They never had sex or intimacy of any kind, just like my ex with me. She was okay with that. I could never be. I’ve worked on forgiving him for the wasted time (for me, not him). I’m not there yet, but I keep working on it at times.

    Yes change is inevitable…relationships take “work” which needs to be based on growth & mutual support & encouragement. Honesty & trust are essential in reaching a level of vulnerable intimacy that I’m hoping to achieve with a secure, courageous, passionate man before I no longer have a sex drive (which I intend to have into my 80s😂)

    Such a brave open conversation....I think a lot of really driven men find that they are ready to focus on relationships and make more space for it when they're much older (in their 50s for example) and have satisfied all the other needs to explore the world through their work! And sometimes there is a lag, in my experience, in relational skills for those people because they've not worked that muscle and prioritised it. But that's not necessarily a bad thing! It becomes the next life project I believe.

      I don't see him being self-aware, he just knows he wants to have sex a lot and he needs to have a good sex partner, if you want a real relationship and love, sex shouldn't be the number one thing! Love and sex work together in a relationship and putting sex over love is immature! To me, he focuses on sex too much in his issues with finding the perfect sexual partner.

    This is obviously a difficult subject to approach as a podcaster, but such a good job was done here! Conversations like this shouldn’t be taboo and we should be encouraged to have these conversations, not discouraged.
    I’m lucky enough to have been taught to be open about sex and sexual health, but I know other men are not so lucky. I hope having an influential character such as Steven talk about it will help others see that these conversations are normal and are a staple in a healthy relationship and a healthy life.

      Well I am an expert Im watching and will let you know...it is a very broad subject so the ore specific a question the better we can answer a question...how do I get netter sex is waaaaay too broad...stating and demonstrating what you like is the general answer. Women are worse about being shy doing this showing and explaining than men. Ladies tell them what you want guide his hand say softer harder slower faster just little phrases he will appreciate it if he wants to satisfy you and YOU will have a better time.

  • @craigmalcom6294
    @craigmalcom6294 2 роки тому +6

    idk if its specific to this podcast but a lot of these expert therapist give open ended all inclusive answers to real problems where a degree of objectivity will be beneficial in addressing the cause of the problem.
    Many times, Kate responded with answers such as it depends on it's a case by case basis and you shouldn't over generalise.
    For example, the segment on how often should you have sex, kate responded by saying theres no right amount of times, which is fair because everyone has different lifestyles, but then she says it's fine for a couple who only has sex once a month and are not happy to be okay with that whilst they know someone who has it 3 times a week. This encourages incompatible people to stay together because 'we shouldn't be comparing our relationship to other people'. But there's a reason that the couple or one partner feels once a month is inadequate or perhaps something wrongs in the relationship otherwise it won't be a pressing matter. Maybe one has a high sex drive and the other has a low sex drive and they try change this up. Even 2 twice a month over 1 might make a difference!
    Another example is her answer to question on is it harder to date in this period because theres more options, which she replied because a relationship has failed it doesn't mean it was unsuccesful. I agree in certain cases eg you've been going out for many years but decided to be friends, you've learnt from that experience, but in the context of this question, a lot of these quick forming and quick ending relationships are built on shakey foundations like status and settling. This type of narrative of its okay that it didn't work out or that is hasn't worked out ensues a nonchalant attitude of it's not my fault, shit happens, instead she should reply with an objective look analysis of your (past) relationships such as what you value in a relationship and the type of girl you want to be with long term and if you see that in another partner.

    The "at least" twice a week is the issue. Don't put a number/pressure/stress on it. Before you're in a relationship everyone's is their own person and responsible for their own desires. When we then get to share that, that's the cherry on top.
