Have you ever just felt STUCK? Stuck in your dating life, stuck in your marriage, stuck in your sex life (or stuck in your sex life within your marriage)? As one man on our panel put it, "I felt stuck for most of the 20 years of my marriage."

Maybe you've felt trapped -- like you just couldn't work your way out of wherever you were.

Here, four men get real about their journey going from totally stuck to in flow.

Memorable quotes from this episode:

  • "Women are starving for men who are doing the work."
  • "I felt broken; I felt unworthy; I felt unacceptable; I felt unwanted."
  • "Sex felt unrealistic and out of reach, and it also felt off-limits."
  • "I lived in the regret of the past and the fear of the future (and I was never present)."
  • "I felt like I wasn’t desired — I wasn’t wanted."
  • "I got to the point where I just felt like I’d plateaued in therapy; it felt like we weren’t getting anywhere."

  • "I had a huge block with paying money for personal growth; I’d pay money for my hobbies, etc., but not that."
  • "It’s unrealistic that I would know everything; having that humility and curiosity to reach out was critical."
  • "I did the fuckin’ work, and I was ready to do it, and I threw down."
  • "The problem wasn’t that I was unattractive; the problem was that I wasn’t embodied (and didn’t have my head up!)."
