Why are so many men today feeling empty, disconnected, and under constant pressure to perform?

In this episode of Desirables, Bryan shares parts of his own story and opens a wider conversation about what many men are quietly carrying. From porn and intimacy struggles to expectations around success, masculinity, and identity, this episode looks at what happens when men stop pretending they are fine.

They talk about how shame and silence create distance in relationships, why coping mechanisms like porn or achievement can feel safer than real connection, and what actually helps men come back into their bodies and their relationships.

They touch on

✅ How porn can quietly affect intimacy, confidence, and desire

✅ Why many men retreat into porn, work, or achievement when connection feels unsafe

✅ The silence and stigma that keep men from talking about their struggles

✅ Why quitting porn is less about willpower and more about accountability and support

✅ Unrealistic expectations shaped by porn, social media, and success culture

✅ Masculinity myths that keep men stuck in shame and isolation

✅ Why men need permission to be imperfect and supported by other men

✅ How vulnerability and community change the way men show up in life and love

This episode is an invitation to see men with more honesty, depth, and compassion and to imagine healthier ways we can support love, purpose, and connection.

What if most people have never actually experienced real love or real sex?

This episode challenges everything we are taught about intimacy, exposing how performance, porn, and shame have replaced emotional connection and embodied pleasure.

Susan argues that many relationships fail not because of a lack of love, but because we are never taught how desire, arousal, and the heart actually work together.

From faking orgasms to redefining betrayal, this conversation dares to ask uncomfortable questions about monogamy, aging, and sexual fulfillment.

Susan shares:

✅ Why faking orgasms and avoiding desire quietly destroy relationships

✅ How heart connection, not technique, changes sex and love completely

✅ Why betrayal, aging, and mismatched desire are misunderstood and rarely discussed honestly

✅ How intimacy can be relearned through embodiment, communication, and self-pleasure

Can AI ever truly replace love?

In this eye-opening episode of Desirable, we explore with Dr. Anna Machin how artificial intelligence is reshaping relationships and why it can never replicate the chemistry of human connection.

From AI “romances” to the neuroscience of love, fatherhood, and dating in the modern world, this conversation dives into what makes us human in the age of machines.

We cover:
✅ Why one in four young women and one in three young men have had a romantic AI experience
✅ The hidden dangers of AI “companionship"": increased isolation, depression, and distorted expectations
✅ Why only human love triggers oxytocin, dopamine, and the brain chemistry that keeps us healthy and alive

Why do so many of us repeat the same painful relationship patterns... no matter how hard we try to change?

In this episode of Desirable, Attachment Styles Expert Kirby Fling breaks down the science of attachment, the role of trauma in shaping memory, and practical tools for rewiring our patterns in love, parenting, and even the workplace.

With an engineer’s mindset and years of study, he reveals how early childhood wounds echo through our adult lives and how to finally break free!

You’ll learn:
✅ Why attachment is more than four rigid labels and how anxious and avoidant behaviors overlap
✅ The five pillars of secure attachment every child, partner, and employee needs
✅ How trauma erases memory and hardwires autopilot stress responses
✅ Why repair after conflict matters more than avoiding conflict altogether
✅ Practical tools like the “Ideal Parent Figure Protocol” for rewiring insecure attachment
✅ Why self-work, humility, and autonomy are the foundation of healthy love
✅ How to use dating as a vetting process, not a validation loop

Kirby’s approach is a roadmap to healing yourself, parenting consciously, and building relationships that last.
