Dear Men: How to Rock Sex, Dating, and Relationships With Women

Ever feel like you're doing everything "right" — showing up, being kind, respecting her — but only getting crumbs?
First dates that never turn into second dates. A marriage where you've quietly become roommates; no matter what you do, there's no sex, and there's not even very much affection. That feeling of putting in a ton of effort and still spinning your wheels.
If any of that lands, you're likely living out some version of Nice Guy Syndrome.
Outgrowing being a Nice Guy doesn't mean becoming a jerk. It does mean that you learn some skills or make some shifts you've maybe never even thought of before.
Here, Jason and I break down the 3 specific things that support men in graduating from being a Nice Guy — the ones that take them from stuck to, "Wait, this actually works now?"

Memorable quotes from this episode:
"I'm trying really fucking hard and I'm not winning anywhere in it."
"No woman can trust your yes if you do not have the capacity to say no."
"You can't get better at community without being in community."
"If shame is getting in the way of that, she doesn't have a chance to shine."

How much does a woman's sexual satisfaction depend on the size, shape, or other physical details of your cock?
According to research out of the UK, this question is on the hearts of a lot of men. To quote this study: "Men showed significant dissatisfaction with penile size, despite perceiving themselves to be of average size."
In other words, it's common, if you're a man, to wonder (or worry) about whether size matters.
Now here's the real question: Do women that sleep with men track this, and if so, how much?
The truth is that there's as much diversity in the world of penises as there is in the world of human beings. And as women who have sex with men, we've seen a whole bunch! Here, we get real about sex, relationships, hookups, play, and cock size.

Please Her In Bed, my streaming course: www.pleaseherinbed.com

Do you want to establish a new, healthier habit, but so far you just ... haven't? For example: eat more veggies; exercise; have a meditation practice; be bolder with women/your woman; or a big one: cease watching porn.
According to a meta-analysis on this exact questions, intentions only account for ~30% of whether someone actually changes behavior — meaning you can be fully committed and clear on what you want to do, and that commitment still barely predicts whether you’ll do it.
The good news? Change is possible; it just doesn’t happen the way you think it does.
We get into the real gap — between knowing and embodying — and cover why some of the smartest, most self-aware men we work with can describe their patterns with PhD-level precision, but still be stuck in the exact same loop years later.
We also talk about the guy who showed up to the work feeling stuck and hopeless ... and who's now having the most fulfilling sex of his life with the healthiest partner with whom he has ever been.
Fair warning: this one might make you rethink how you've been trying to change -- and you might start taking the actions that'll ACTUALLY get you what you want.

When it comes to sex, dating, and relationships, what is AI good for? And where can it potentially cause damage?
Here, Jason and I go point-for-point — one way AI can support your love life, one way it can harm it — and get into the nuances most people aren't talking about.
We cover what AI is actually good for: crafting the message you can feel but can't quite say; getting unstuck when you're in your head at midnight; brainstorming date ideas that generate real dopamine for the couple; handling the "shit work" of logistics so you can show up more present.
We share the real story of one client whose fight with his wife got a little unstuck through an unexpected AI assist — and the "family assistant" moment that changed everything for a friend struggling to ask for help.
We also delve into in which ways AI can be like emotional porn; what MIT research shows about how heavy AI use impacts mental health and relationships; and why people literally grieved when OpenAI turned down the sycophancy dial.
The deepest cut? AI has no needs. It will never trigger you, never require repair, never push back. And if you spend enough time in that dynamic... you might start to forget that friction is what actually creates intimacy. But real negotiation between two different humans — that's not the obstacle to love. That IS love.
If you're curious about AI and want to use it wisely — without letting it quietly erode the very capacities that make you magnetic — this one's for you.

Memorable quotes from this episode:
"There's a risk she's gonna figure it out."
"What's our agreement or understanding about AI in our relationship?"
"You've got to make sure you're working it, and it's not working you."
"AI can give us the fake sugar version of relationship."
"It doesn't have any needs. It doesn't have any triggers. There's no need to negotiate."
"The friction of relationship is what we learn to work — and it's what makes it meaningful."
"Get really good at friction. If you can be the one in the room who can hang in conflict — that is only going to become more valuable."
"It can be part of your team. It can't be your whole team."
"Safety and trust is built in person with human beings — and most of what we're gauging is how they are being with us, not what they are saying."

"Is this in my head, or is this real?"
Millions of women ask themselves this question -- about their sleep, their mood, their body suddenly working differently than it used to. They can't tell if they can't sleep as well as they used to because they've got two young children ... or whether it's perimenopause.
If you want to be an awesome partner (either now or in the future), listen on! This is the hormonal literacy class you never got that could help with everything.
Here I sit down with Morgan Miller, midwife and co-author of The Cycle Book (with her best friend, sex therapist Laura Federico), to decode what's actually happening in a woman's body as she's in different phases.
We go deep on perimenopause: sleep disruption, night sweats, heart palpitations, ER scares no one warns you about; the anxiety and PMDD that can be a hormonal sensitivity, not an imbalance. There's also the easy, often-missed fix for vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, and painful sex (a targeted topical instead of antibiotics).
We also cover why a single blood draw is just "her estrogen at 2pm on a Tuesday" — and why tracking biomarkers (which is actually pretty simple) over a few cycles tells you a LOT more.
Plus a stat that floored me: period-tracking apps are only ~20% accurate at predicting ovulation — wrong roughly 80% of the time.
If your woman has ever been told "everything's fine" while her body said otherwise, and you've felt helpless watching it — this one's for you.
