Eric shares how his Catholic upbringing and family\u2019s unusually frank conversations about sex shaped his perspective, and how those early experiences inspired his book,  The Better Man. We dive into common myths about porn, testosterone, and what men are \u201csupposed\u201d to want\u2014and how those beliefs often block real connection and pleasure.   Along the way, Eric opens up about the importance of platonic touch, the emotional cost of living inside \u201cthe man box,\u201d and what it takes to build relationships rooted in honesty and consent. We also talk about resentment, boundaries, and the hard truth that being a better lover starts with being a better human.
