Welcome to Episode 411 of the Sexology Podcast! I’m excited to have Dr. Avrum Weiss joining us today. Dr. Weiss is a psychologist, author, and speaker, known for his work on men's emotional experiences and fears in relationships, and his latest book, Hidden In Plain Sight: How Men’s Fears of Women Shape Their Intimate Relationships. In this episode, we explore the complex and often misunderstood fears that heterosexual men experience in relationships, especially when it comes to showing vulnerability. Drawing from his background as a psychotherapist, Dr. Weiss shares how deeply these fears are rooted in early life and shaped by societal messages about masculinity. We discuss everything from evolutionary influences and the role of early maternal attachment to the cultural pressures men face. Dr. Weiss offers practical strategies, including the value of men’s groups, to help foster emotional openness. We also look at how understanding these fears can create more empathy between partners and lead to stronger, more resilient relationships. In this episode, you will hear:·      Insights From Dr. Weiss's Book·      The Roots of Men’s Fears in Relationships·      A Look at the Still Face Experiment·      Evolutionary Views on Male Vulnerability·      Concerns About Control and Abandonment·      How Masculinity is Culturally Reinforced·      Therapeutic Approaches and Support Groups·      Why Taking Risks and Embracing Vulnerability Matters FREE Foreplay Checklist Ideas Follow Us on Instagram Podcast Produced by Pete BaileyOur Sponsors:* Check out Adam & Eve and use my code SEXOLOGY for a great deal: https://www.adameve.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
