Hey, Jmonty1945@gmail.com!
How are you doing today?
It's a gorgeous, sunny day and as I write to you the birds are chittering and squawking... Which reminds me to share with you a realization - an epiphany I just had.
Did you know I read EVERY email to which everyone replies? And I've been reading your replies for a decade.
What I notice is how replies are "framed." And it seems like over the years, men who have issues reply with a victim mentality, often with a dollop of anger tinged in their correspondence... Where women, when they reply, seem to be critical or they complain.
This is generally what I notice in the trend of the tone of emails I get.
And I think it's how POWERLESSNESS shows up in both our cultural (nurture) and masculine/feminine (nature) response.
Just as Regena Thomashauer in her latest book identifies women being caught in the societal conditioning of the 4D's:
• Disenfranchisement (I still don't get it or fit in; I'm an outcast.)
• Disapproval (I disapprove of myself, everyone and everything.)
• Devastation (I have suffered devastating loss and can't get over it.)
• Depression (I am so despondent and dejected I just can't engage.)
And what my darling friend Otto Collins transforms in his new book, Preaching To Monkeys: 3 Keys to Healing a Relationship with your Father, Son, or Anyone Else.
Want to know why our relationships with those we love and care about the most sometimes fall apart?
What are the biggest roadblocks to healing a relationship with a Father, son, or anyone else?
And Preaching To Monkey's offers concrete tips, ideas and suggestions for healing those painful relationships in our lives (even if we're the only ones who's interested in the healing) and how we can create closer and more loving connections with those people.
Just in time for Father's Day... a way to accept your father for the man he is and to know that your anger and frustration is simply your fear of not getting enough love.
Love.
We live for it. Die for it. Fight for it. Dream of it.
Love and connection.
Intimacy and passion.
That's my wheelhouse... passion.
And like everything... passion comes from practice, from knowing what to do.
So thank you for following my advice about passionate intimacy.
This week, my single best example of how to connect passionately during sensual times is going on sale. Five hundred copies of my Steamy Sex Ed® Video Collection will be available at 60% off the retail price.
If ever there was a time to watch these techniques it's NOW.
