How to Overcome Male Performance Anxiety - Esther Perel

“When I’m not interested in sex, it makes me feel like I’m not a man. In fact, my wife wants it more than me so I came up with the excuse of chronic back pain. I think it’s easier for her to accept. What’s wrong with me?” - David, Clifton, New Jersey

Men are under pressure in life, and in the bedroom, to be untiring, masterful and dominant. It’s assumed men are always up for sex and women’s interest is much less, and subjective.

It’s time we stop this oversimplification of men and start debunking some of our most dear assumptions about men.
