I sit down with Dr. Nicole McNichols to dismantle the biggest myths men believe about sex, attraction, and confidence. We talk about why performance anxiety kills connection, how curiosity builds real sexual confidence, and what actually drives desire in long-term relationships. This conversation goes deep into emotional attunement, power dynamics, attachment styles, and why better sex starts long before the bedroom.
