I love it when my partner snores! Makes me appreciate his presence and feel happy he is having a good sleep.

[dianeburton]

I can't stand a man that is jealous and controlling

Outside of the physical, be aware that relationships can, and do, get in the way of romantic activity. If you have unresolved tensions in other aspects of your relationship, they cannot help but affect the bedroom.

Being authentic and honest is enough of a turn on. I’m too old for nonsense haha!

Snoring is a HUGE problem!! I can't sleep & need to go into another room. My sleep means a lot to me.

One other thing I would add is always controlling a conversation, or constantly talking over people in a conversation. I had one woman friend who was very guilty of this and she was even very aware of it, but it never stopped her from doing it. Eventually she ended our friendship in a truly odd way and didn't even give me a chance to question what was actually bothering her. To be honest, our friendship was getting weird and it was time to end it anyway

This reminded me of when I was a housekeeper at a higher end hotel. There was a tall middle aged Italian man staying and everyone was in love with the way he smelled, swooning in his wake. I did his room and found the scent (it was a Jo Malone), and we bought some but it wasn't the same :) So scent can make or break and we need to be aware!

Wow, the perfume one. Really good point. Met a girl online and we met for dinner. Her perfume was so overwhelming that it gave me a headache and I didn’t enjoy dinner at all. I tried to overlook it, thinking it’s just tonight. When dinner was over we parted for the night. All night I thought about it, and even after my headache went away I knew it would haunt me if we ever got to be intimate. I didn’t say anything about it to her because she told me that it was her favorite perfume of all time. Yikes.

No problems in the bedroom these days - better sleep than I have had in years, Robert is spot on given normal physiological circumstance it boils down to both being engaged with each and on the same page - I was in a conversation some time back and it was explained by an expert (Doctor) that there are three factors to sex in a relationship - attraction, erotic engagement and factor x which I have forgotten, does sound like a manual however bad or disinterested sex is worse than no sex.

@Silke... Thank you for admitting you used to start arguments with your ex.. That kind of honesty is attractive.

[michaelberta]

The worst thing a woman can do if a man has ED is to get upset and bolt. That's downright cruel and there is no reconciling from that point.

[tungsteneight]

I Liked this chat... gave me a few things to think about.. Regarding the "She's too hot" issue.... My experiences is that really means she's too fit. If the disparity in stamina is too much it can be overwhelming for men... If she needs the man to "do the work" during intercourse and she expects him to "work away" for 2 hours starting at midnight most men will want "out"! Understandably! I've had men tell me this is one of the main reasons they won't date Gym Bunnies.

[papasmurf]

I've found that the woman's attitude is a huge factor. My ex was exceptionally gifted at making a "yes" sound like a "no".

[kopsie]

I always like hearing Roberts point of view. Great content!

#1 Don't tell me what I need to do to make you happy. Instead tell me what makes you happy? Does she even know? LOL #2 Is your happiness dependent on another? That's attachment not connectiveness...food for thought. #3 Men need to be clear about their values, about their purpose. Do NOT compromise, do NOT hide. It will only bite you in the ass as some later date thru resentment or worse, not having common values. Money is a great example where it papers over hidden values. #4 Make sure your relationship is based on who you are and not what you have. This is a tough one because most woman would not want to date a guy with no money/material/job etc. and I am not sure I would blame them! The question is...if things go to shit, will she stick around and be supportive? #5 If you got thru 1 thru 4 then less stress and maybe less ED. Before going to doctor for ED or snoring make sure you are doing cardo and at the weight you should be. Ok, done with my soapbox! hahaha

Hi Silke, I am significantly challenged by the conflation of sexual intimacy and erectile function. While turn-offs can affect mood which can in some rare cases affect penile performance, it is not the same thing as being turned off by something your partner is doing, saying, or wearing, and so avoiding sex. I posit that looking for these relationship challenges as a cause for ED is missing the mark and is truly misguided.

[CalvinGomes]

I think the favourite word in modern intersexual dynamics is the word "insecurity". If you don't like something it is a red flag, if the other person doesn't like something it is insecurity.

Snoring can be a huge problem, causing sleep deprivation. Not all remedies work for everyone.
