| 0:00.0 | All right, Alex, welcome to The Man Talk Show. How are you doing today? Really good. Thank you so much for having me. |
| 0:12.7 | Yeah, man. This is going to be good. I think this is one of those topics that hopefully doesn't get censored too hard on YouTube, but is very much needed and required. And, you know, |
| 0:23.6 | we have a really fast growing community of men. It's called the Alliance. And we've got about 700 |
| 0:29.3 | guys in there from around the world. And this topic comes up all the time. In fact, in September, |
| 0:35.4 | our theme was sex and intimacy. And we had Caitlin V come in. She's got a big channel as well on YouTube, and she was teaching like, you know, sex secrets, you know, for men and how to actually, you know, pleasure a woman and interact. And so I think a lot of guys got a lot of value out of that. And I think this is going to be one of those good conversations as well, because I think when we as men talk about sex, oftentimes it's like the highlight reel. |
| 0:59.4 | You know, it's like we want to look good. |
| 1:01.3 | We want to make sure that, you know, the stories that we tell, like we're a fucking champion. |
| 1:06.3 | We can do no wrong. |

| 1:08.7 | That's oftentimes how, you know, you hear men talking about |

| 1:18.4 | your body count, how many notches on the belt, you know, how great you are in the bedroom. |
| 1:23.5 | And we're not normally talking about some of the challenges that we might be facing. |
| 1:28.1 | And I think this creates a lot of isolation sexually for men where they're like the challenges |
| 1:34.6 | that they that they're having are hidden. |
| 1:36.9 | They're not talked about. |
| 1:38.0 | They're not talking to their bodies about them. |
| 1:39.3 | They're not getting support on them. |
| 1:41.2 | And I think that can really brew into some deep challenges. And so with that, |
| 1:48.2 | you know, with that in mind, how do you think that a man's ability to perform sexually |
| 1:53.4 | impacts how he sees himself as a man and impacts his sense of his own masculinity. What have you seen? I think it impacts everything. |
| 2:03.8 | And what you just described, the highlight reel, is something I did, you know, in high school and in |
