When you need sex (or other external things) because it's the only way you can feel a certain way (love, connection, masculinity, feeling seen, appreciation, etc.), you lose trust in yourself and you lose options. Relying on yourself provides you a sense of freedom and ease in your body and in your relationship with your partner. That ease and those options allow you to practice other ways to feel what you want to feel and this is where you build confidence and also more attraction within yourself and your relationship.

Something I want to add that I didn't mention in this episode when I shared my boyfriend's take on this, is how it impacts me as his partner. I feel his ease and his want for sex over his pressure and need for sex. It makes our sex life be something we do to add to our love and connection, not the only source.
