In this thought-provoking discussion from the Men's Emotional Wellness Symposium, Cam Fraser, Australia’s leading Men’s Sex Coach, joins us to explore the often-overlooked emotions that men experience around sex. We go beyond the surface of intercourse to delve into the complexities of sexual shame, discussing how men are frequently shamed for both their sexuality and for moments when they are expected to be sexual but aren’t.

Cam and I examine the societal conditioning that teaches men to seek gratification rather than genuine pleasure from sex, often reflected in locker room talk. We also discuss how sports and sex intersect for many men, and how pornography shapes the way men learn to be sexual, often reducing them to mere props in a performance.

This conversation addresses the avoidance of intimacy that often follows sexual encounters, rooted in vulnerability and shame. Whether it’s the rush to hide evidence after masturbation or the discomfort in lingering in post-sex vulnerability, Cam provides insights that help men navigate these emotions and find a path to healthier, more fulfilling sexual experiences.
