Show Notes
We spend a lot of time talking about what women need in intimacy, what helps her feel safe, connected, desired and sexually open.
Those conversations matter.
But working with men made me start asking another question:
What do men need?
And I cannot tell you how many men have looked at me as though nobody had ever really asked.
This episode is a conversation about intimacy beyond simply having more sex. Touch. Tenderness. Being pursued sometimes. Feeling wanted instead of only useful. Being able to receive pleasure. The emotional impact of rejection. Reciprocity inside relationships. And the importance of developing intimacy with yourself instead of making another person completely responsible for your sense of desirability and aliveness.
Because men deserve to feel chosen, touched, desired and cared for too.
In this episode: • Why wanted physical touch matters more than we sometimes realise • The difference between feeling useful and feeling wanted • Why men deserve to receive pleasure as well as give it • Sexual generosity, consent and reciprocity • What repeated rejection can actually represent emotionally • Self-pleasure versus having genuine intimacy with yourself • Protecting your relationship amongst kids, work and real fucking life

More from You Go Bro
Here’s a potentially confronting question: When you say the spark has disappeared from your relationship… has the relationship actually become boring, or have you become a little bit fucking boring too?
You’ve listened to the podcasts. You’ve tried to understand your partner. You work. You provide. You’re there for the kids. You handle responsibilities. You keep showing up.
Somewhere along the way, I think a lot of good men learnt that being a good man meant needing less. Be understanding. Give her space. Support everyone else. Don’t put pressure on anybody. Have your shit together.
This is where You Go Bro begins.I never actually planned to work with men. My work started in women’s spaces, but somewhere along the way men began opening up to me in my DMs, in conversations with mates and family, and eventually inside my coaching work. The more I listened, the more I realised how much was being carried behind closed doors.
