Michael talks about a topic too many men dodge: what it means to embody the warrior archetype in the bedroom. He discusses how confidence and skill are essential to fostering intimacy and connection in relationships, pushing back against the cultural taboos that keep men silent about their struggles. Michael also goes into recent men's immersion experiences where there were massive impacts from unaddressed challenges like performance anxiety and the overuse of porn, calling these issues a “silent epidemic.” Men, you’re invited to reflect on how confidence and communication can transform not just your intimate lives but your broader sense of masculinity.
