There is a nuanced art to cultivating intimacy in relationships, and in this week’s episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell speaks specifically on the topic of how men can initiate sex and intimacy with their women in ways that foster connection and increase passion.

Emphasizing the qualities of confidence and leadership, Dr. Alexandra discusses effective ways for a man to initiate sex with his wife so that she’s more likely to say “yes.” These tips help increase the frequency of sexual encounters while also deepening the overall emotional connection between partners. 

Drawing from her own experiences in her personal life and her work with hundreds of married couples, Dr. Alexandra explores common challenges couples face, such as libido mismatch and ineffective communication. She shares practical strategies for men to improve how they approach the topic of sex with their partners, ensuring their methods are inviting rather than off-putting. 

 

Episode highlights:

  • Emotional intimacy is essential for long-term sensual and sexual satisfaction in relationships.

  • Addressing and dispelling myths around libido mismatch empowers couples, with a focus on women taking responsibility for their pleasure.

  • How men approach the topic of sex with their partners can significantly influence their partner’s receptiveness and response.

  • Confidence and attunement are key when asking for sex; it’s important to let go of entitlement and resentment from previous rejections.
