S02E07: The Problem With the Sexless Marriage (for Men)
Manage episode 482872750 series 3582391
In this powerful episode of The Relationship Renaissance Podcast, we explore the growing crisis of sexless and low-sex marriages from the male perspective. Many men are quietly struggling with feelings of rejection, confusion, and shame—but the roots of the issue are complex. Part of the disconnect stems from what I call “female trauma”—the emotional armor women develop to survive in a male-dominated world. This trauma can lead to guardedness, emotional distance, and a diminished sense of safety and desire in the relationship.
At the same time, we take a hard look at how many men contribute to the very dynamic they feel trapped in. Through selfishness, emotional unavailability, or a sense of entitlement, men often erode the intimacy they long for. This episode unpacks the deeper emotional and psychological layers beneath a sexless marriage and offers a call to awareness, empathy, and growth. If you’re in this situation—or want to avoid it—this honest conversation will challenge and guide you.
