In this thought-provoking clip from "Black Out with Ian & Rashad," hosts Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap tackle a complex question: Why do powerful men struggle to stay faithful—and is it a psychological disorder? Rashad Bilal opens up with a personal question from his mother, exploring the psychology behind infidelity among men in positions of power, from historical conquerors to modern celebrities and sports figures.

The conversation dives deep into the idea of the "conquering personality" and how traits that drive ambition and success can spill over into personal lives, creating a craving for more—often at the risk of everything they've worked for. Ian Dunlap brings nuance, challenging the stereotype that infidelity is just a rich or powerful man's phenomenon, noting that “broke men” also engage in the same behaviors. Together, they examine the thrill, power dynamics, and even self-sabotage that can influence risky decisions, using real-life examples and pulling back the curtain on how unmet desires can lead to reckless choices.

The hosts debate whether polygamy could be a solution, with Rashad Bilal suggesting that honesty and self-awareness are crucial, while Ian Dunlap calls out the dangers of living a double life and the value of being true to oneself—even if that means risking loss. The clip doesn’t shy from the messy realities: the dangers of secrecy, the allure of power, and the cost of dishonesty, both personally and professionally.

If you’re interested in modern relationships, power dynamics, and honest conversations about masculinity and fidelity, this is a can’t-miss discussion. Tune in as Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap break down taboos and offer candid advice on navigating complex human desires with integrity.
