Week 7: Chapter 6 — Memo to Women: What Your Man Most Wants You to Know About Sex

1.Feldhahn presents findings from men who said they wanted their wives to understand that their sexual desire is not just physical — it is deeply emotional and relational. How does that reframe the common assumption that men only want sex for physical release?

2.Men in the surveys repeatedly said that feeling desired — not just accommodated — matters enormously to them. What is the difference, and how might a woman communicate genuine desire rather than mere willingness?

3.Feldhahn describes how a man's sexual relationship with his wife affects how he perceives his entire life — his confidence at work, his patience at home, his sense of being loved. Does the degree of interconnection between these areas surprise you? What does it reveal about how men are integrated differently than women?
