In this episode of the Better Sex Podcast, host Jessa Zimmerman talks with Paul Abramowitz, author of 'Sexed: Hardwired by Nature, Evolving by Choice,' about the intrinsic preoccupation men have with sex due to biological hardwiring. They discuss how this drive impacts men's lives and relationships, the importance of understanding and managing it, and the potential benefits of reflective engagement. Abramowitz shares insights from his book on men’s reproductive biological intelligence, the socio-cultural and biological aspects affecting men's and women's sexual behaviors, and the concept of 'intoxicated masculinity.' They also explore the implications of such understanding for enhancing intimacy and connection in heterosexual relationships, moving beyond the 'romance industrial complex.'00:00 Introduction to Better Sex Podcast00:42 Guest Introduction: Paul Abramowitz01:41 Paul's Journey and Inspiration for Writing04:26 Understanding Male Sexual Drive08:17 Impact of Biological Hardwiring14:43 Female Partners' Perspective22:55 Intoxicated Masculinity vs. Toxic Masculinity38:34 Romance Industrial Complex44:50 Conclusion and Contact InformationInterested in sharing your personal story on the show?
