About
Sex in marriage is a tricky game. If you are like me, I got frustrated when the woman of my dreams stopped initiating or only had sex with me to service my needs. Deep down you want to be wanted. You want your wife to desire you again. The bottom line is she is no longer attracted to you. The good news is you can fix this, without having the "talk" with her. This podcast is all about helping you become the most attractive version of you again. Let's dive in and get you laid! Hosted by Keith Yackey & Jesse Joy
