If you're the higher-libido partner and every "not tonight" feels like a gut-punch, this episode might change everything.

Because it's not the rejection that turns her off — it's how you respond afterward.

Most men were never taught what to do when sex disappears after babies, stress, or burnout. When connection feels out of reach, every "no" can trigger shame, pressure, or shutdown.

But your reaction in that moment?
It's either creating safety... or silently killing desire.

In this episode:

  • Why rejection feels personal (and how to stop spiralling)
  • The "pressure energy" that shuts her body down
  • How the chaser dynamic kills attraction
  • What her nervous system is really responding to
  • The 3-step shift to rebuild connection and safety (yes, starting tonight)
