#105 - Internal Sex vs. External Sex

Each person has an internal and external reality. And while some might argue that a person’s internal reality is subjective compared to physical reality,  it is our internal reality that connects us to our sense of purpose and belonging, which gives our lives meaning and fulfillment. 

Internal sex means being real and selfless with your partner. It's all about developing a genuine internal relationship wherein sex is seen as a foundation for a solid connection between spouses. Being spiritually and emotionally naked and vulnerable allows us to discover pieces of ourselves we didn't even know existed and to discover the genuine meaning of intimacy. 

Understanding the rhythm of your partner and learning how to adjust to it is an important factor in intimacy. It is learning about your partner’s whole being and building a good momentum rhythmically that creates a beautiful harmony in your relationship. 

In episode 105, Andrew and Benjy talk about the difference between internal and external sex. They also highlight what rhythm is and its importance in the foundation of a healthy relationship, as well as, the negative impact of porn on how people view and define sex. 

Listen to learn more about what internal sex is, the idea of rhythm, the importance of being an internal person, and so much more!
