Episode notes
Sexlessness Rewires Brain And Body
- Connor Beaton explains sexlessness triggers the nervous system to treat a partner as a threat, lowering bonding chemicals and raising stress hormones.
- This rewiring erodes confidence, self-trust, and a man's sense of worth over time.
Rejection Feels Like Physical Pain
- Rejection activates the same brain regions as physical pain, so repeated sexual rejection causes real, measurable stress for men.
- Frequent refusals lead men to label closeness as dangerous and to avoid reaching for physical connection.
Client Tracked Nearly 200 Rejections
- Connor shares client data: one man had sex 2–3 times in a year but recorded nearly 200 rejections, leaving him devastated.
- That accumulation pushed him close to asking for a divorce due to exhaustion and emotional withdrawal.
