This will be the first of a series of podcasts taken from a recording in which I explore men's need for love with our member and professional therapist InsideOut. Social programming says that love is for women, prepubescent girls, and maybe newborn babies, and that a man should have outgrown any desire for such an ooey, gooey sentiment. Real men find life's greatest satisfactions in violent conflict and sexual conquest. But ironically, social programming does not prepare a man to follow the path of the true Dom. The true Dom is connected to and can pursue his very masculine need for love, and he is a master of creating a relationship dynamic in which this need can be met for both he and his lady. In this series of podcasts, InsideOut describes how he discovered his own need for love and how that discovery transformed his life and his ability to lead in intimate relationships. He uses his skill as a therapist to help us understand what the need for love is and gives us steps we can take to experience it more fully in our own lives, and he dispels a whole host of disempowering cultural myths about love, emotion, and masculinity, some of which can be laid at the doorstep of the psychotherapeutic profession itself. In our first installment in this series, we address a common belief that prevents many men from approaching the topic of love in the first place: the fear that feeling emotion will lead to a loss of effectiveness. With me as his guinea pig, InsideOut demonstrates the falseness of that belief and shows us how to use the body to improve our agency by enlisting it as a guide to our emotional world.
