Today’s special guest is all the way from Vancouver, Canada. His name is Mark Groves and his area of expertise is Human Connection. As an author and speaker, Mark is in love with uncovering the mysteries of what makes great relationships work. Speaking of that, he’s certain there are no “secrets” when it comes to great relationships. Rather, he believes that all relationships are by design and we are all the architects of what we want. Mark has a Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology and has written for Plenty of Fish, Thought Catalog, Goodmen Project and is the Relationship Columnist for 24 Hours Newspaper. I invited Mark on to the podcast today to help me answer a listeners question she had about dating someone relatively new who struggles with erectile dysfunction. You’ll also hear us discuss: How to navigate the challenging sex conversations (and examples of what to say) What we all need to understand about male sexuality What the most powerful antidote to shame is The purpose of a first date and what questions to ask (and which ones to avoid) Why we settle for less than our deepest desires How to honour your personal standards without making others feel like they aren’t good enough for you, and so much more. Enjoy!
