What Men Consider Great Sex! - Everything You Think You Know A Man Wants IS WRONG | Stephan Speaks

On Today's Episode:
Does hooking up on the first night make a woman confident or does it make her promiscuous? We wish there was a straightforward way to answer this, but the reality is there are too many variables to say. Men may not think about sex on the first date as the worst thing or the only thing they want from you.
Stephan Speaks, the relationship guru with 79 million views and several bestsellers, has been bridging the communication gap between men and women looking for healthier relationships, makes it clear that whether you sleep with him on the first date on not, there are some key things you should be doing and paying attention to that will help you decide with confidence.
Given the pressure we all face in dating, seeing how men think about sex on that first date can make dating less stressful and more enjoyable. Stephan's biggest recommendations are keeping the first date simple and not being afraid to ask questions.
You will never scare off the right person by asking questions, and giving someone the opportunity and permission to reveal their intentions is key to beginning a great relationship. You don’t have to be upset or mad if his intentions aren’t aligned. You can use the opportunity to move on quicker and spare yourself the heartache.
QUOTES:
“Men become more cautious when it comes to making sexual attempts the more they like a woman.” [7:33]
“If you are concerned about his intentions, keep him talking.” [11:57]
“Focus on having fun first, and through having fun, be confident enough in yourself to be aware.” [14:02]
“Most men come into that date putting you in a box.” [15:34]
“Women, growing up, were fed more of the fantasy idea of ‘the one.’” [19:43]
“When we’re dealing with the person who is not truly best for us, things are going to go left for us, [...] because we do not connect correctly.” [23:11]
“The toxic man is toxic in many ways.” [25:16]
“A lot of guys are good guys in the wrong relationship, and there’s a lot of good women in the wrong relationship…” [26:35]
“When a woman feels the need to have to propose it’s because deep inside you sense that if you don’t he will never.” [27:30]
“Every woman who dates from now on should give that man permission to be blatantly, brutally honest because it will save her the headache of confusion and his fear of how she’ll receive it.” [29:46]
“It’s not about what the person does, it’s about how they handle your feelings about it, how they handle you addressing it. That’s when you’re going to see what we’re really working with.” [45:22]
“The process of a man getting sex and the process of a woman getting sex are viewed completely different, and they are completely different. [58:55]
“Once you take time to master the person’s body, you will be on a level that no one else can match.” [1:17:24]
“Some people want to make empowerment about not wanting or needing a man. I view empowerment as living in your truth.” [1:25:59]

Men whom boast Proud he had a great deal of money 💰 he inherited from his dad's side of the family. He did NOT MAKE, EARN IT. He blows it at casinos, , lottery tickets to 🏆 win. Not WORK FOR THE MONEY. NOT marriage materials, skills, behaviors, etc. He is a man whore character. He is easy. He is obsessed with the idea of getting sympathy to get cuddling leading to sex. Sneaky. Sleazoid, trickster, devious, jokester, mean, unkind fun. He tries to convince the woman he wants to dress her in sleazy degrading sexy clothing. He offers to buy her Clothes, he wants to SEE her wear for his eyes, & get her to display, flaunt her body parts. She s uncomfortable. Knows it is degrading her as a GOOD RIGHTEOUS, DECENT, Modest, SENSIBLE MINDED Christian minded woman. Jesus christ would not approve. Keep sensibly COVERED for COMFORT, & SELF-RESPECTING VALUE. PROTECTION. SEE the woman as a high VALUES PERSON, HUMAN BEING.! She is NOT INTERESTED in romance with a man She is NOT ATTRACTED TO Physically. He is too Egomaniac Egotiscal , Stuck on himself, about himself, boasting, & crying for sympathy: his back & knees hurt. He wants back massages. He offers to pay for things for her & other people. Then, he cries about spending that money. Or putting or using his credit card. He has a credit debt.(That's NOT the Woman's problem.) He offers. He ought to shut UP. 🙄. He's trying to BUY her loving attention, affection for his gifts. No NO NO kissing or hugs. Shakehands is safest. Yet, sometimes a woman does NOT desire to touch his SKIN. Too Risky. He thinks she likes me!! He tells himself LIES. SeX is off the table. Big STOP. BACK OFF!!! DISRESPECTING her wishes. BACK OFF, BACK DOWN USER. COMMUNICATION. ASK HER. BE PREPARED TO BE TURNED DOWN, rejected. Get over it. Act like a SENSIBLE MATURE REAL MAN . SERIOUSLY. Get real. She is NOT Interested in fluff sex. No fun irresponsible harmful sex. She s NOT putting OUT for his DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN HIGH RUSH for orgasmas 30 seconds High. Not healthy. Not desired. She wants a PLATONIC FRIENDS , buddy, pals,. Safest relationships. Stop pursuing her with intentions to get & take what HE wants to do to her body. For his advantage. Rude behavior. Crude thinking & planning fantasizing. Is harmful to her. & other girls, & women. Back Off man.

    @@javireyes7333this is biology. Men and women are different. Life is about learning and how to relate to people. Sorry but the cold hard truth and REALITY is that people need to stop with the “poor me” mentality. Get with the program because SUCH IS LIFE. You either sink or swim. It might be hard to believe but this is the way it has been since time immemorial. People can either take the advice or just continue doing things the opposite way that doesn’t work. Again, men and women are completely different. Men do not think and feel like women do and vice versa. Sadly, women have been guided to expect men to be a certain way and if men don’t meet those expectations, they are the ones in the wrong. Women think giving sex will make a man fall in love, when that just isn’t the case. On the same note, not many women would like a man to be soft and sensitive like they are. Most women want a MAN, whether they will admit it or not, but to be in a relationship you have to earn respect and have respect for yourself. I hope I made sense 😅.

    So Ive taken a few notes of this vid: 1. Trust yourself, trust your intuition, if it screams no, dont ignore it. 2. Dont have sex if youre one to wait, dont let yourself be pushed around. If he hooks off on that, its not your fault. You know what he wanted and its not you. 3. Keep expectations low, preferably none. Just enjoy the date(s)/time with each other. 4. Keep the (first) dates cheap so that you can focus on each other instead of what they can bring to the table. Youll avoiding falling for the wrong thing. 5. Women need that connection to be able to have sex. Men need sex to have that connection. 6. Difference between men who are interested in you and men who are only out for sex is mainly effort, respect and time. 7. Just be yourself, the right guy will find you and wrong one will flip off faster than a lightning bolt. 8. Date the guy before you, not his potential. Hope these notes will help someone :) Edit: added nr 8. Yes, its kinda messy now but theyre notes not a summary (it kinda turned out like a summary though lol)

    My father always told me. Don’t worry to much about if the man has no money. Focus and pay attention that he likes to work because live alone won’t pay the bills. Also let the man make 75% of initiative. Let him move the relationship forward. Don’t give him free sex to a man who’s not committed to you. A man can’t come and enjoy free sex when he’s not committed or is not husband. Always value yourself and respect yourself so that he can respect you back. A man will fall in love with your good morals. Thank You Dad for all your great advice ❤️❤️

He waited till the next day to leave a silly note at my door to ask for another date. We had a good marriage till the day he died, 9 years 9 months later. On that date, I kissed him on the cheek .

    @@mcdowellt34 it’s crazy because we as woman don’t view it the same. Though I do not agree with it, as you probably know It’s much more difficult for a man to have one sexual encounter casually let alone multiple. It’s like getting rich, you usually redirect someone more who’s worked for it. This is why many women can see past a man’s high body count but men cannot do the same. It takes effort for most men to get which means they did something “right”, a woman can be a bitch and still get sex no problem (but that’s men’s fault since they’ll fuck anything) and that’s due to their brain. The more she’s know to sleep around the less respects she’ll because she’s not restraining herself, she’s not viewed as valuing, protecting her own temple so why should he?

He was a gentleman and chivalrous. He said I love you and I'm in love with you but I began noticing different things in his behavior. I asked him different questions about his sexuality to which he denied, but then said the burden of proof is not on him. I found out later that he was sleeping with men, DL and I was a cover girl for him. I'm so glad we never had sex. We women now have to really watch and be so careful on top of everything else. It has left me so shaken, doubtful and fearful.

    Thank you Lisa for having this topic discussed. My opinion is that women have more to lose after a sex experience. Before I found my husband, I went on so many dates with men who just wanted sex. Some men even tried to get me to drink more so that I could go home with them. I’m not a play toy, I’m a woman with dignity and self respect. I’ve had men call me a prude because I didn’t want to have sex. Shockingly, a couple men even wanted to pimp me out on 2 separate occasions. I experienced so much manipulation and trauma from dating. I was naive and didn’t have a mother who taught me things and my dad died when I was a kid, I was a lost puppy and men took advantage of that. I went to therapy and changed my vibration and started attracting high value men and found my husband who I have been with for 8 years. I’m so glad this is talked about.

    He described a cycle of abuse so casually and even made men like the rational ones who came forward with everything and then changed their mind. How's the woman suppose to know if the guy is pursuing her ,declaring his love, doing everything and then...he changes his mind. Then he says the man starts pulling away because he realizes you're not a match. Wow he didn't realize you're not a match during the dating period? Or he just started to evaluate if you were a right fit after having sex and the novelty isn't there anymore? Sam Vaknin says that narcissists take a "snapshot" of their romantic interest and get stuck to it. When the person shows to be someone be more than the snapshot the narcissist feels conflicted and the devaluation starts. I know men putting end to relationships in the first month (before sex). Or sex was just what they wanted and didnt feel like keep on waiting or realized that the relationship didnt have future and decided to end it (with words) before putting the woman to sleep with him. We're talking abou men, not teenagers. They know what they want and the "wife material" will be decided according to his first level of attraction. She could be totally unfit but he will still marry her because hes getting a lot of validation for being with that woman

    Yes! A few months ago I was going through a bit of midlife crisis. It wasn't as bad as it had been around my 40th birthday and the months following, but I was still going through it, though, and was beginning to heal by deciding to lean into my femininity (something I hadn't realized I'd sort of lost until my midlife crisis. Nearly a decade of being a single parent with the father pulling "That kid ain't mine!" So I'm doing it all solo and had to provide the masculine energy as well.) At any rate, around this point of learning to be more selfish and feminine, a ridiculously handsome single dad friend of mine started coming around more with his adorable daughter. I had Friend Zoned myself with this dude as I'd met him shortly before my 40th birthday and thought he was 24-26 years old. Too young! For over a year I thought this until he confided that he, too, has struggled with getting older and revealed he's actually in his 30's. (He'd also told me "Age is just a number" when I talked about my own midlife crisis. 40, single mom, too many cats...living trope.) He also commented on my decor the first time he entered my home "So you like pink, huh?" (It's only gotten more pink since) and said he could use a woman's touch around his home and with his daughter; her mom is barely in the picture by her own choice. That little girl has had a hold on me from through moment I first set eyes on her. One of those toddlers where most women stop dead in their tracks "Oh. My. God!" when you first see her. Just wanna dress her up like a little princess and spoil the crap out of. The feeling has only grown since getting to know her and watching her grow from a 2 year old into a tiny little person who expresses herself over the past year and a bit. Hearing that she's in need of a more maternal figure broke my heart; she's so precious. Then he asked for my help around the place, saying he could use some help painting and stuff. He offered to pay, but I don't want to take his money when I know he's not much better off financially than I am. I'm just happy to help with things that I'm good at and also it's more rewarding doing these things for a friend than it is to clean my own home that I clean all the time. Initially, he was going to just paint his walls white, but the more time I spent with him in his home cleaning and talking, I noticed he is not a white walls guy and told him so. One day while cleaning his kitchen, a comment he made while holding something he'd foraged from the woods made me realize he needs the outdoors brought indoors "That's it! An enchanted fairy forest vibe is just perfect for you and Daughter!" As we've been spending more time together painting his walls forest green, I didn't notice myself doing something with someone I haven't done in a long time...actually letting my guards down and letting them in. I don't let too many people get close; my closest friends are people I've known for 20+ years and we never would have thought we'd be friends forever when we met. (Maybe the one did. She was a co-worker who seemed to instantly decide I was her new best friend whether I liked it or not not.) Other people seemed to know something before I did, given comments like "happy little family" "I think there's Something there." My mom pointed out "He wanted to spend Halloween with you. He came over on Christmas day. He's spending New Years Day with you. Its you he's coming to for help with his place and daughter." I brushed it all off, especially my mom since she reacted exactly as I did upon first laying eyes on his daughter: stopped dead in tracks "Oh. My. God!" And then told me to marry the dad upon learning he's single. "I'm not his type. He's a total hippy and I only dressed the part until getting to know him and realizing I'm just a hippy by city standards, but I'm too much of a city girl to be a true hippy." But then one day while we were working together (really well, as we always do) I realized "He feels like Home." I've never had that before. While I was visiting relatives, I looked at the time and thought "He'll be picking Daughter up from daycare about now and I wish I was there to hear about her day and to find out if That Boy was bullying her again. The thought of anyone picking on her!" And I realized "I want that life. He's my future husband and she's my other daughter, even if I'm not really her mom and I don't feel like I'm a good enough mom to my own daughter sometimes. I already love her like she's my own. I want to mom the crap out of her and spoil her and give her a pretty princess room and give her everything I give to Own Daughter." But ofc he needs to agree to this and want this with me himself 😅 We're not quite There or even Official yet. He doesn't try to Get Any from me, but it's not because he doesn't desire me. We had a talk, he knows how I feel (it all came tumbling out the other day) and he's said he's had those thought about me, too, but he doesn't want to just jump into things like he did with Daughter's Mom and that while he likes everything he's seen so far, we haven't seen eachothers worst sides yet and so we don't know if we can handle eachothers bad sides yet. So for the time being, we're still just doing things together but not doing eachother (or anyone else!) and vibing real well, everyone else seems to see us as being in a relationship and it feels very much like one but he's holding back on things but not in a using or stringing me along way. (Lmao ❤ he called while I was wrapping this up 💖🥰) I love him and I'm pretty sure he's feeling the same but not quite ready to say it.

I will NOT go on cheap dates no matter what. If a man can't take me to a nice place, he needs to work on his money. Ladies, don't lower your standards.

It's important for both partners to feel comfortable and valued in a relationship, and taking the time to get to know each other before pursuing a physical relationship can be a great way to build trust and emotional connection. However, it's also important to keep in mind that everyone's financial situation is different, and it's not always a reflection of their worth as a partner. Communication and understanding each other's needs and boundaries can help build a strong foundation for a healthy relationship.

    I agree. It’s not that I judge men who sleep around, and you probably don’t really judge them either. We’re just much less likely to be interested in building a relationship and having sex with them because of the potential for contagion and the likelihood that they won’t have the self control or self discipline for monogamy. They’d be more likely to stray from any sexual relationship. I truly believe that relationships between two people who are compatible and who both desire monogamy have the greatest chance for success and happiness.

The problem is, if they’ve put us in the sex box we can’t handle it 😂 we start doing everything to try to prove we’re worth being in the girlfriend or wife box, even if we don’t want to be (with him)!! It might be ego, it might be an identity or worth issue, but either way focus on self, and if they don’t fit that’s okay!

    Something I will say that helped me understand about letting go of the wrong person. We keep hoping and waiting for the person we fell in love with or we thought we were in love with to show up.. That is why women hang on for so long. Cause for us we believe they are still that person, not realizing that person is long gone or that person wasn't who we thought they were. Once you recognize they are not that person anymore .. you will find it much easier to move on.

    It all comes back down to don't be giving out sex and let the guys see the value of a true relationship and commitment. Instead everyone is ready to get instant things when they honestly haven't even done any work to figure out if there's substance. This is why more men used to put in the effort and get to know the lady because there are certain perks that come with that including sex. No wonder there is no motivation to get to true connection- everyone is not even being challenged to grow!

Because I have found it's MUCH easier to make a real connection in those situations than it is in a place with too many distractions, like a bar/club, movies, concerts, etc. A personally prefer to go fishing with my dates, because it's something we both (usually) tend to enjoy, and it's quiet and personal enough for us to really get to know each other.

If this pushes away a man, well better now then in 6 moths after investing so much! I guess what is at stake is different since family and nest building is no longer such an important preoccupation. Sexual promiscuity neither... I just don't care anymore what society has to say about this, weather your a man or a woman. We are so afraid to be clear... Happy I am getting past that.

Don't adhere too strickly to some kind of functioning system, it closes doors for you. Instead, make the best you can from your life and aim high. Understand what are your goals in life, what are your values, become someone that has something to bring to the table but only bring it if you fell the other is up to your standards. Or else, you set yourself up for an abusive relationship. Who cares if it is not the written story society wants us to follow. You are setting yourself a glass ceiling by overthinking what «general man» want. You are setting yourself for failure. Weather you are a man or women telling derogatory untrue things hiding behind your keyboard, life has more to offer then what you portray. Good luck passing that.

    That is actually good advice - low key first date. Removes pressure of finances or sex. But it does rely on first impression processing. I think more people should use better screening before the first date, asking better questions, quick 5 min face time etc, so as to avoid wasting too much in person time. Then being hyper aware of red flags and asking the right questions rather than floating through it. Being clear before you even start dating on what you are looking for (essentials and desireables) and your own boundaries (hard and soft). It's about tactics, rather than blaming the other sex for this or that.

    Disagree that men trying it on or trying to have sex isn't disrespectful. It totally is. You can express sexual interest in many ways that don't include trying to have sex. I don't think women should feel overly concerned with not hurting a guys poor ego by not staying true to herself and setting aside her own standards and values for the sake of a guys poor feelings. This idea that a guys sexuality is called into question is an issue of men's own making. Women are not responsible. Men are expecting women to sleep with them with zero investment n as if sex has absolutely no value, so why are they surprised when the same standards of relating are slapped in their face like that? If they want sex to mean something, it should start with it meaning something to them first.

By taking the time to establish a strong connection, you are more likely to have a long-lasting and fulfilling relationship. Keep in mind that the pace of the relationship should be determined by both partners, and it's okay to take things slow if that's what feels right.
