Couples should share the vulnerability of initiating intimacy rather than one person holding the responsibility.

“I don't want to be the point person on our sex life like I really want to feel desired and to feel like this is one area of my life where I don't have to be the one who's in charge”

Couples should communicate openly about their sex lives to avoid misunderstandings and strengthen their relationship.

“I want you to start talking about sex with your partner it is such an important foundation for us to lay with each other there are no other aspects of our relationship that we don't talk about or that we would expect would function perfectly with zero communication”

“If I can't be vulnerable about how I feel with my wife, I could talk to a whole bunch of other people. And you think you just think that just cuz I'm sharing it with other people that that's positive for me.”

Men selectively reply to text messages because they want to ignore non-factual statements and avoid unnecessary stress.

“cuz we pick and choose the stress we want on our lives factual and there's no even ands factual factual because there are times where oh also no to double down not even that stress in our lives it pisses me off when statements are made that aren't factual or aren't a true representation of what you'”

He prefers direct and logical communication and finds emotional delivery to be ineffective.

“You can't because you not capable of supporting me your brain don't really work like that no no it works like like you different you different”

In relationships, there are specific scenarios where asserting one's perspective as a man is a valid and necessary form of communication.

“there are very important situations and scenarios where I'm a man needs to be said and it should be acknowledged not just said acknowledged”
