86 - Daddy Issues - Pt. 3 -Hypersexualisation, Fantasy Bonding & The Toxic Masculine
Stream the episode on Spotify here and Apple Podcasts here.
Are you ready to explore the juicy connection between daddy issues, the father wound, sexualization, fantasy bonding and the attraction to the ‘toxic, alpha male’?
Together, Louise and Stephanie explore all of this and more. They discuss the reasons that a Father Wound may drive us to date people who are emotionally unavailable or who breadcrumb us, as well as the allure of being the other woman or the "saviour" in a relationship. Louise & Stephanie also examine the alpha male, the wounded masculine and the toxic masculinity and how this can manifest in our relationships negatively (and why we're attracted to it!).
The conversation also delves into sexualization, hyper-sexualization, and performance in the bedroom. The hosts discuss the controversial topic of "dick slapping", why we do things we don't want to do, as well as the connection of sex to dopamine, ADHD, and neurodivergency.
