Not all "submissive" women are actually submissive. Some are just passive, lazy, or don't know what they like in bed. Here's how to spot the difference—and why it matters for BOTH men and women.

⚠️ THE PROBLEM:

A lot of women call themselves "submissive" when what they really mean is:

• "I don't know what I like"

• "I don't want to take initiative"

• "You do all the work"

• "I'll just lie here"

That's not submission—that's being a starfish. And men, you don't actually want that.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE:

• The fake submissive vs. the real submissive (and why the difference matters)

• Starfish sex: What it is and why it's not submission

• Chapter 16 of my book: "Do you just lie there while he does whatever he wants?" / "I'm not a starfish"

• What men ACTUALLY want (hint: enthusiasm beats obedience)

• Why real submission requires self-knowledge, not passivity

• Red flags vs. green flags: How to tell the difference

• For women: Why calling yourself "submissive" to avoid participation is hurting you

🔥 KEY TAKEAWAY:

Real submission is ACTIVE, not passive. It requires knowing what you like, actively participating, and choosing to surrender control—not just lying there because you don't know what else to do.

If she says "I'm submissive" but can't tell you what she likes, she's not submissive—she's clueless. And guys, you deserve better than that.

Men used to approach women. Now they don't. Men used to lead. Now they ask permission for everything. What changed?

In this episode, we talk about:

- Why men are terrified to be masculine

- The contradictions women create

- What men are actually afraid of

- Why "scared" isn't quite the right word

- The solution (it's controversial)

This applies to dating, relationships, sex, and marriage. If you're a man who's tired of walking on eggshells, this is for you.
