Hey lover,
Week 5 of Reclaim the Fire is about Dark Masculine Energy and Purpose in Intimacy.
Last year I met a man in a polyamorous relationship. Because a lot of my friends were interested in hearing his story, he decided to give a small lecture about how he thinks about polyamory, and more importantly, how he structures his life and relationship around it.
A lot of relationship tension arises because people don’t have clear ideas about what purpose that relationship is supposed to have.
People tend to want to be in relationships to escape loneliness, because they think it will complete their life in some way, or they feel societal pressure to be in one.
Or maybe they just want someone to be intimate with.
Those are reasons to find one, but they do not help to manage and navigate that relationship.
That’s why having a clear, defined purpose for your relational and intimate life is actually crucial.
If growth is a significant element of your life, your relationship needs to accommodate that.
If sexual interaction is important to you, you need to set up standards and behaviors that are going to keep that a priority.
That’s what made his talk so interesting. Because polyamory inherently creates complex dynamics, you are forced to make the purpose of your relationship as clear as possible.
If you don’t, it always erodes your relationship. Regardless of whether it’s monogamous or not.
That’s why in week 5 of Reclaim the Fire: The Masculine Path to Polarity, Arousal, and Erotic Leadership, we spend time defining what role intimacy plays in our lives. So our actions can always push us toward having more of it.
We also cover Dark Masculinity in week 5, how important that is for a healthy sex life is something the men who join will uncover.
If you’re interested in reading more about the full program, you can do that here.
Your intimacy guide,
Sanne
