Sex plays a pivotal role in shaping our confidence - here's why...
Most of you will remember Frank Rich...
He's an excellent chap in our Whole Man Academy network
I first met him via Chris Wilson...
(the guy who works for Critical Bench and manages their YouTube account with 1.2 million subscribers).
Chris and Frank both understand the power of the connections you have...
And who you surround yourself with...
Both in person and digitally.
Frank's podcast interview with me covered a topic that most people find uncomfortable to talk about
PORN.
But it was an email I got from one of our long-time Journal readers that gave me the idea for today's suggestions.
Because he said, 'How come you haven't covered sex on your Journals very much?'
He was right.
So I've taken some of the conversation I had with him and put it here for you to read.
A lot of us men can be caught up with our careers, our bank balance, our bodies, and our performance outside of the bedroom.
But I think it's super important to consider.
Because it's easy to overlook the profound impact that sexual fulfilment can have on our professional success.
Intimacy plays a pivotal role in shaping our confidence, focus, and overall mindset, which in turn influences our achievements in everything else we do.
And here are the points I made (I've tidied them up from our Zoom conversation)
Confidence and Self-Assurance:
A healthy and satisfying sex life can significantly bolster your self-confidence.
The feeling of being desired and the ability to satisfy a partner fosters a positive self-image that seeps into various aspects of life.
When we feel confident and secure in our own skin, we're more likely to...
Take risks, present ideas persuasively and assert ourselves in meetings.
All of which are vital for professional growth.
Stress Reduction and Mental Clarity:
Ooh, a bit of Science here.
Intimacy has a profound impact on our brain chemistry.
Engaging in sexual activity triggers the release of endorphins and oxytocin...
They're the "feel-good" hormones that combat stress and promote a sense of relaxation.
Reduced stress levels directly contribute to clearer thinking, improved decision-making, and heightened creativity.
That's a big win on all fronts.
Energy and Motivation:
Sexual satisfaction isn't just about the physical act – it extends to increased energy levels and motivation.
Regular physical intimacy has been linked to improved sleep quality and overall vitality.
When we wake up refreshed and rejuvenated, we're better equipped to tackle our daily tasks.
So if someone at work says 'Hey John, thanks for getting that project to me so soon',
Just shout back 'That's OK I got laid last night.'
Perfect.
Ok next...
Balancing Work and Personal Life:
Striking a balance between work and personal life is a common challenge...
Especially for men deeply committed to their careers.
A fulfilling sex life serves as a reminder that life is about more than the office or boardroom.
It encourages us to invest time and effort into nurturing relationships...
And enjoying life outside of work, ultimately preventing burnout.
Ok, last one...
Enhancing Interpersonal Skills:
(Stick with me on this one)
Communication and empathy are invaluable skills in any professional setting.
Engaging in open and honest conversations about sexual desires and needs with a partner...
Translates into improved communication skills that extend beyond the bedroom.
So again, if colleagues, clients, and stakeholders ask why you are firing on all cylinders...
You know what to tell them.
'I have a lot of good sex.'
Anyway, I've laid out just a few benefits of a good sex life.
And I've got someone in mind in my network who will come in and record something for all of the guys who decide to join us in The Network...
So you can have a great sex life and see how that feeds into every other sector of your life.
That way everyone wins.
Catch you Wednesday.
And remember, the world needs strong men.
