Transcript
- 0:05Hi everybody, and welcome to the doctor psych mom, show today.
- 0:09I am going to talk about something that people have asked
- 0:13which is like wide. Well, nobody asks this but
- 0:16people say they complain which I'm going to take us and asked,
- 0:20you know, so that I can help you men.
- 0:22Complain that anytime that they do anything sexy or sexual to
- 0:27initiate, it goes badly. So I've told you that a good,
- 0:32you know, way of initiating is to go over and kiss.
- 0:34A woman is Say she looks beautiful.
- 0:36However, not everybody listens to me, unfortunately.
- 0:41And so some men insist on doing stuff like, you know, basically
- 0:45like dick pics or the equivalent, you know, like like
- 0:51sexy text messages to like a woman who doesn't ever talk sexy
- 0:56or like lewd jokes the boob. Grab never do the boob grab.
- 1:02I've say this like millions of times.
- 1:04Don't people, listen, no woman wants their boobs, grabbed out
- 1:07of nowhere. It hurts, but like other things
- 1:12like that, you know, and this is cool.
- 1:15If you and your wife have this, real sexual, joking,
- 1:17relationship. That is extremely rare in
- 1:21long-term, monogamy, except sometimes like, if you're on
- 1:25vacation and Aruba, you know, but most men, they don't get
- 1:29this. Because what it is, is, it's a
- 1:31failure of empathy, really so they think, oh, Oh my God, it
- 1:35would like make my day / month. / life.
- 1:38If my wife randomly, email me a picture of her topless and said,
- 1:43I can't wait till you come home. You know, bleep bleep, bleep
- 1:46bleep, all these dirty things. So they think boy, that would be
- 1:50awesome. So, you know, maybe my wife has
- 1:53a lower sex drive than me but still, she got some sex drive.
- 1:57And so, I am going to really appeal to her sex drive by
- 2:05Saying these sexual things that I think would be so hot.
- 2:10Basically, if I was a woman. So the men thing here, this is
- 2:13empathy, I'm a woman, I'm picturing myself being this hot,
- 2:17naked woman and I am so sexy already.
- 2:20You see it's derailing, right? Already empathy is failing.
- 2:24So what men have to think is my analogy of eating when you're
- 2:29not hungry, right? So women have no spontaneous sex
- 2:33drive. Sure, sometimes, you ovulate,
- 2:36sometimes, you see a hot dude at the gym, whatever.
- 2:39But let's just make it really simple because it's a 20-minute
- 2:43podcast and we really need to kind of oversimplify so that
- 2:48things can be very basic assume. Your wife has no sex drive, the
- 2:51sex drive of a piece of drywall. So if she has no sex drive, it's
- 2:56like any other human drive. It's like, trying to sleep on.
- 2:59You're not tired or eat when you're not hungry, but let me
- 3:02give you a nice analogy, right? So Your wife was not hungry,
- 3:06which for most women is a blessed State than to think that
- 3:09you're not hungry and you don't have to worry about calories,
- 3:11how much you eat, when you eat, How fat you are for.
- 3:14One second is wonderful. So, women love not being hungry,
- 3:18right? So let's see if she wasn't
- 3:20hungry and you say to her. Here's a cookie.
- 3:26Want a cookie. So your wife is going to be
- 3:28like, no, I don't want a cookie, I'm not hungry, right?
- 3:33In the case where she could say, no to a Be some people can some
- 3:35people can but you say no I don't want to eat a cookie.
- 3:38So however what if your wife wasn't hungry and your son or
- 3:44your daughter, you just picture your son.
- 3:46If you have boys because son usually has the keys to his
- 3:49mommy's heart in a different way came over and said, oh Mommy, I
- 3:53baked you a special cookie at school.
- 3:56I love you. Would your wife eat the cookie
- 4:00even though she's not hungry? Yeah, like obviously and you
- 4:04could have just I offered her a cookie and she would have said
- 4:06no, didn't I say I wasn't hungry and then your kid comes over
- 4:10with a cookie and all of a sudden look who's eating.
- 4:13Right. So similarly your wife could be
- 4:16not tired enough to go to sleep at 8:30, when it's you but if
- 4:20your kid is like Mommy, Mommy lay with me, well frequently,
- 4:24she goes in and falls asleep. So, these are times where
- 4:27somebody's emotions are so strong that it goes against
- 4:32their natural instinct. So, What you're trying to do is
- 4:36the same thing. Your wife has no desire to have
- 4:39sex at all. Just like she isn't hungry or
- 4:40she isn't sleepy in those situations but how can you
- 4:44emotionally appeal to her to get into the headspace where she's
- 4:48gonna have sex with you? Anyway, now if you're like, oh I
- 4:51don't want to have that shitty sex that she's gonna have with
- 4:53me. Anyway when she doesn't want to
- 4:54then you can refer back to my response of Desire podcast.
- 4:57Because if she begins to have sex with you frequently, she
- 5:00wants to do it and her sex, drive ramps up from the Act of
- 5:05starting to have sex. That's how women differ from
- 5:08men. Men of spontaneous desire, women
- 5:10have responsive desire within monogamy.
- 5:12So how do you get her to a place where she wants to eat the
- 5:15cookie as it were? Well it's not by advertising the
- 5:19benefits of the cookie. That is not what your child did
- 5:22not scenario. They didn't say this cookie is
- 5:24extremely delicious because there's a recipe for cookies
- 5:28that we followed and blah blah blah blah blah.
- 5:30No they said I love you. I made this just for you.
- 5:34You know, and they imply that if the mother doesn't eat it,
- 5:37they're going to be sad because this was a special thing, right?
- 5:40And so then that pulls out her heartstrings and she eats when
- 5:42she's not hungry, right? But what you're trying to do is
- 5:46extol a cookie, when she's not hungry, she doesn't want the
- 5:49cookie. She does not want your penis.
- 5:51She does not want your body. She does not want to have sex.
- 5:54She doesn't want those things. But what would she want?
- 5:57She would want to make you happy when she feels that.
- 6:01You also are trying to make her happy because you guys are in a
- 6:04Loving, happy relationship. So this is really how you should
- 6:08think about emotional for play and I can't really emphasize
- 6:11this enough. You're trying to get your wife
- 6:13into a headspace where she will try to have sex.
- 6:17You're not trying to turn her on, don't try to turn your wife
- 6:20on. So that's a wonderful title that
- 6:22I'm going to put for this podcast episode.
- 6:24Don't try to turn your wife on. Don't try to turn her out it
- 6:28because it's, like, advertising all the benefits of a meal, when
- 6:32she's not hungry. She's going to think it sounds.
- 6:34Disgusting the same meal that she would love if she was
- 6:37starving. Now, you're like, how can I get
- 6:39her to be starving, man? I don't know.
- 6:41I would not be having to work anymore.
- 6:45If I had figured out that formula of how to make your
- 6:47wife, be starving for sex. But what I do know is that there
- 6:51are plenty of ways that you can have a great sex life with your
- 6:55wife as long as you understand. It's not going to be like porn
- 6:59and it's not going to be like a honeymoon stage.
- 7:01Whether it was with her or with the girlfriend that you remember
- 7:04from one. Ver.
- 7:05Who probably acts just like your wife right now.
- 7:07So what would this entail? What I what I was saying was
- 7:11people when men hear women say, I wish there was for play all
- 7:16day. That would be emotional
- 7:17foreplay. What does she mean?
- 7:19She needs. She wishes that you were acting
- 7:21loving and cute and sending little romantic text messages
- 7:24and shit like that. You could refer back to my, how
- 7:27to be romantic podcast, because that makes her in the head space
- 7:31where she remembers, she loves you, and she wants Wants to eat
- 7:35your cookie because she loves you so much right?
- 7:37Like with your kid and so, what you, you do not want.
- 7:42I've seen this mistake. The woman says, I want emotional
- 7:46for play all day and so he says, okay, so in the morning, I'm
- 7:49going to send her a text message.
- 7:51That's a meme about blowjobs. I'm going to follow it up with
- 7:54telling her all the ways. I want to go down on her when I
- 7:57get home. I'm going to grab her boobs.
- 7:58I'm going to French kisser, then, baby.
- 8:01We're going to be good to go by 9 p.m. by 9:00 p.m. she hates.
- 8:04It's you. This has been like the worst
- 8:06day. You have been so insensitive.
- 8:09She has no idea what this bullshit is.
- 8:12When in her mind what she asked for was something that was going
- 8:14to put her in the mood. Now, it's a semantic problem.
- 8:18She says put me in the mood with emotional foreplay and you here,
- 8:22put me in a sexual mood know. It is put me in a mood where I
- 8:26remember that I love you so that we start to have sex and then I
- 8:32can feel my desire. Now this brings up the question
- 8:36about all the men who are like oh but I don't want to live like
- 8:39that. I want to be with a woman who
- 8:40spontaneously desires me all the time in which case I say do you
- 8:44want to be heterosexual? Or are you willing to give that
- 8:47up? Because if you're heterosexual
- 8:49then you're going to be dealing with heterosexual women and they
- 8:53with in any relationship long-term are not going to be
- 8:57experiencing spontaneous desire. So you can either be single and
- 9:01try to be so hot and appealing that you can have a Parade.
- 9:05A never-ending parade of hot women who are within the first
- 9:11date or so, going to have amazing sex with you and then
- 9:14you move on to the next one. Many men cannot pull this off.
- 9:17Some men can it's rare, but if that's you, then maybe you are
- 9:22wasted on marriage, you know, maybe you are in fact, James
- 9:25Bond and can really pull that off for the rest of your life,
- 9:29or if you are a man that's heterosexual and wants to at
- 9:32some point, being a long-term relationship.
- 9:34Egypt with a heterosexual woman then you can just say yes, there
- 9:38are many fantasies people have in the world such as having a
- 9:41Lamborghini and owning my private island and having a wife
- 9:45that is flooded with spontaneous desire whenever I open the door
- 9:48to the house and she sees me, so those are all fantasies.
- 9:52But what I can do in reality is I can try to get my wife into
- 9:56the mood of the being receptive, to me, not aroused mood, the
- 10:03arousal you were Khan once you start having sex, that's when
- 10:06you can bring out all the tricks that you Googled about how to be
- 10:10a better lover. And all of the tips and tricks
- 10:14in my podcast, about 10 ways to make your highly sensitive wife
- 10:17wants sex more and you could be the most responsive and
- 10:21attentive and wonderful lover in the world.
- 10:24But don't start with that stuff before you've already started
- 10:28sex. Right?
- 10:30Because she doesn't have any desire in your trying to make
- 10:32her eat when she's not hungry. Only makes people discussed it.
- 10:37So that is also I wrote about that in my post, where a man,
- 10:41God bless him wrote. Why doesn't my wife just go down
- 10:44on me when she doesn't want sex? Boy, seems good.
- 10:47Everyone's happy except her because she's not hungry.
- 10:51She doesn't have any desire. So for her to go over and go
- 10:55down on you when she's zero, desire is like gross.
- 11:00Sorry, it's gross. It does she's not she doesn't
- 11:03want it. She isn't aroused.
- 11:06If you said why can't she sometimes, go down on me during
- 11:08sex. Sure, I am with you when she's
- 11:11already aroused feeling uninhibited and her juices are
- 11:14flowing for sure. But to say, listen, it's cool.
- 11:18She's not in the mood at all and but maybe she should just go
- 11:21down to me. Yes.
- 11:22Some women can and will particularly in early stages.
- 11:26But overall if you continue to associate your penis and sexual
- 11:31activity with her on aroused state, You're doing some bad
- 11:36classical conditioning. She's going to start to see the
- 11:40sight of your penis and your naked body as linked associate
- 11:45of lie in her mind and body with a state of non arousal.
- 11:50Oh, fuck. Here it comes.
- 11:52I guess I have to go down on him.
- 11:54You don't want that. You want her to go down on you
- 11:56in the middle of sex in the middle when she is aroused
- 12:01already, right? This is why I keep saying
- 12:04whenever I talk about the order of operations here, many people
- 12:07do it wrong. The man goes down on the woman
- 12:10and then she's ready for sex. And then she's ready for sleep
- 12:12and then what happens to him. Nothing.
- 12:15Nothing much, right. So there should be a lot of
- 12:18stopping and starting with oral manual.
- 12:22And penetration, that all these forms of stimulation, don't have
- 12:27to all occur straight in a line. Because then yeah, then the guy
- 12:33doesn't really get any attention.
- 12:34To him at all because things are just proceeding in this way that
- 12:38he thinks they have to go. And actually now that I'm
- 12:40thinking about it, this is due to the same fallacy, right?
- 12:45That his job is to turn her on so many guys assume.
- 12:49Okay, we're getting into bed, so I'm going to turn her on by
- 12:53going down on her. No, no, that's the.
- 12:57This is frequently very wrong. She's not stopping you because
- 13:02of the social idea that it is, quote, nice and giving.
- 13:04Being of you to go down on her and also could you like it, you
- 13:07know, don't forget, you're always telling her, I can't wait
- 13:10to go down on you so she thinks you like it because you like it.
- 13:13But in reality any time that a man tries to go down on a woman
- 13:17and she's not even aroused yet at least like 20 minutes and
- 13:21that is going to be misguided because she isn't aroused.
- 13:25Yet, this is why there needs to be most of the time for play
- 13:29before that guys. Consider going down on a woman
- 13:32for plates, not for play this, like the main event that Leads
- 13:34to the orgasm or close to it, it's like sex, we need for
- 13:39played before and that usually kissing and touching and
- 13:43particular, massage things like that because men think about it
- 13:47as foreplay, because their penis isn't involved, but it's not for
- 13:50plate of the woman. It's directly touching your
- 13:52genitals before you are ready. So, if your MO is get the woman
- 13:57in the bed and immediately go down on her, probably you are
- 14:00coming into that ten to thirty two minutes.
- 14:04It's too early for her to really get anything out of it, besides
- 14:07awkwardness, and if she gets herself into the right
- 14:09headspace, she could have an orgasm but it is not anything
- 14:13more than like, you know what, you have an orgasm If eventually
- 14:16somebody's touching you long enough, but it wouldn't be as
- 14:19good as it could be. If she had already been aroused
- 14:22when you started to go down on her.
- 14:25So this is another idea about what does it mean to turn on a
- 14:28woman? What it usually means is, you
- 14:32are so nice. So sweet.
- 14:33So loving that she Wants to get into the mood with you.
- 14:36She is then open to the idea of trying to have sex with you at
- 14:41that point. Actual long for play occurs
- 14:45which can be kissing touching breast stimulation, things like
- 14:49that back, rubs, whatever she likes.
- 14:52And then we go to anything involving genitals much later.
- 14:56So what I hope that you get out of this is the idea of the
- 15:01reason that your wife isn't responding to your quote cute.
- 15:04Or quote sexy text messages or comment, it's because she isn't
- 15:08hungry and you're sending her a picture of a cookie that she
- 15:10doesn't want. And you know what, you can
- 15:14understand this better, if you can think about it in that way
- 15:18because if you weren't hungry and somebody sent you a
- 15:20six-course meal, you would be like, oh like, well, that's
- 15:25okay. Nice, I guess but you wouldn't
- 15:27say wow, that that's great. I can't wait to eat that cuz you
- 15:31not hungry. Okay.
- 15:33So you are not trying. Into physiologically aroused,
- 15:36Your Wife, by the way, women aren't visual.
- 15:38So if there are people doing the direct dick pic thing, or even a
- 15:42picture of their face or picture, whatever it really
- 15:46doesn't do much. If you are a wife is visual, you
- 15:48will know because she will have at some point wanted the lights
- 15:51on and to look at your body out of the honeymoon stage where
- 15:54women may say things like that, or even feel things like that.
- 15:58And then you know, doesn't continue.
- 16:00The majority of women are not visual men are visual so there's
- 16:03really no. Equivalent of the sexy picture
- 16:07on for both genders. However, the equivalent is a
- 16:11romantic text message, I love you so much.
- 16:15You're such a good Wi-Fi, your I'm so lucky to be with you.
- 16:18You look, beautiful today, that sort of stuff is equivalent to
- 16:22the man getting a visually arousing picture with a sexy
- 16:26message. All right, so hopefully this
- 16:29cleared up the idea of why you should not try to directly turn
- 16:31on your wife and why this goes to shit.
- 16:34When you do try, and if you're not in the situation, then all
- 16:38my podcasts. If you if this is not your
- 16:40situation man, you could feel so good about yourself and so
- 16:43lucky. And then you could tell your
- 16:45wife. I'm so glad that we have the
- 16:47kind of relationship where I could send you a picture of my
- 16:48penis and you're happy to see it.
- 16:50So, for those three men that are out there in that situation, you
- 16:54should really be sending your wife flowers, right now for
- 16:56being such a great, a awesome person.
- 16:59And for everybody else, hopefully I have normalized your
- 17:03wife's experience and giving Avenue analogies and
- 17:06explanations that can more easily explain to you what's
- 17:11going on in her head, which is, you know, kind of usually a
- 17:14black box. Alright, thanks so much for
- 17:16listening, please, like And subscribe to this podcast and if
- 17:21you're a subscriber I will answer any question you have at
- 17:24any time. All right.
- 17:25Bye guys.
