From the time we were little boys and young men, the topic of sex has always seemed to conjure up thoughts of embarrassment and shame.

It's unfortunate to say the least, considering that most men equate sex with the woman in their lives as an integral part of not only the relationship, but the connection.

My guest today, Alex Grundy, has made it his life's work to explore

men's relationships with sex and how we can not only get more of it, but make it more meaningful

for ourselves and the women in our lives. Today we talk about porn's impact on sexual relationships,

how to overcome childhood shame around the conversation of sex,

how to solicit and ask for feedback in your performance in the bedroom, including how to ask

for what you want, why nice guys never get what they want from intimacy and the psychological

and physiological issues men deal with when with their lady you're a man of

action you live life to the fullest embrace your fears and boldly charge your own path when life

knocks you down you get back up one more time every time you are not easily deterred

defeated rugged resilient strong This is your life.

This is who you are.

This is who you will become.

At the end of the day, and after all is said and done, you can call yourself a man.

Men, welcome to the Order of Man podcast.

I've got a very, I don't think it's a sensitive subject,

but one that I don't think we talk enough about it. There's a lot of shame and guilt and stigma

around the topics of men and sex and everything else, even though it permeates literally every

fabric of society. I think we're more disconnected with a healthy relationship with the intimacy with the women in our lives than we've ever been.

Before I get to it, just want to mention that we've got some sponsors and friends over at Montana Knife Company.

I don't really know how to segue from sex to knives, but it is what it is and we're men so we can deal with it.
