Justin Leigh Miller: 我观察到“好人”在异性恋世界中常常难以获得约会和性方面的成功,因为他们似乎无法与“坏男孩”的吸引力竞争。我认为,过度友善可能会降低性吸引力,并阻碍个人获得性满足。重要的是要认识到,你不必在“好人”和“坏男孩”之间做出选择,你可以两者兼备。 Caitlin V: 我认为问题的关键在于,许多男性将“好人”和“坏男孩”视为二元对立的选择。事实上,女性并不一定只想要一个“好人”,因为这可能显得不真实。我们都需要光明和阴影的结合。那些在与女性的关系中获得成功的人,往往是那些能够将“好人”和“坏男孩”的特质以真实的方式结合起来的人。对我来说,关键在于找到一种平衡,既要尊重伴侣的意愿,又要表达自己的真实欲望。我认为,那些总是迎合女性的“好人”,实际上是在损害自己的吸引力,因为他们没有设定界限,也没有表达自己的真实需求。我们需要认识到,说“不”有时比说“是”更重要。

Shownotes Transcript

You’ve probably heard the phrase before that “nice guys finish last.” But is there any truth to it? That’s what we’re talking about in today’s show. We’re going to discuss how being overly agreeable has the potential to diminish sex appeal, while also interfering with one’s own sexual pleasure. As my guest today likes to say, nice guys need to learn how to say no sometimes.

I am joined once again by Caitlin V), a sex and relationship coach specializing in helping men overcome sexual difficulties. With over 150MM views on YouTube) and nearly a million subscribers, she has become a leading voice in the field. Her TV show, Good Sex), is available for streaming now on Discovery+ and Max.

  • Do nice guys really finish last when it comes to sex and dating?

  • How do you walk the line between being confident and assertive in the bedroom without venturing into entitlement?

  • How can men start to embrace their sexual desires more authentically?
