I’ve finally done it.
I’ve recorded an interview that should not be played in the workplace.
It’s perfect for the car ride home or a weekend getaway with your partner.
But do not listen to this with your coworkers over lunch or in a leadership team retreat.
This episode is about sex, specifically in the context of a committed long-term relationship.
More specifically, it’s about sexual polarity between partners: what it is, why it matters, why so often it’s missing, and what you can do to restore or sustain it in your relationship.
Our guide is integral psychotherapist Keith Witt, author of the brand new book Loving Completely: A Five Star Practice For Creating Great Relationships. Keith joined me twice before to discuss the marital love affair and men’s sexual shadow at work.
In those earlier interviews, we discussed sex, but just a bit. And if there’s one thing you and I know about sex, a bit just isn’t enough.
So this time we give it our full attention—with candor, sensitivity, and humor.
If you’ve heard Keith discuss Loving Completely elsewhere, you’ll want to listen to this in its entirely. In no other interview does he discuss sexual polarity in as much depth. This Keith has assured me.
I thank you for listening and hope you enjoy the conversation.
