The Other National Emergency

Why Women Are Shutting down, Why Men Are Confused, and Why Our Sexual Culture Is Crying Out for a Revolution.

My love,
Let’s tell the truth today.

Not the filtered truth.
Not the polite truth.
Not the “good girl” truth or the “nice partner” truth.
The real truth — the one that makes your body exhale and your spirit say, “Finally.”

Because we are living in a crisis so silent, so normalized, and so devastating that if it were happening to men, the entire country would be in Congress-level emergency mode.

If this were happening to men, America would be on fire.

Let’s break down the numbers:

  • 62% of women say they are not satisfied with their sex lives.

  • Between 38% and 63% of women live with sexual dysfunction.

  • In one study: 81% of women reported sexual dissatisfaction, and 73% rarely climax.

  • Only 27% of women consistently orgasm with intercourse.

  • 14% of young men already show erectile dysfunction — because the collapse of the feminine is dragging the masculine down.

If half of American men suddenly couldn't orgasm…

If men were in pain during sex at the same rates women are…

If men were unable to feel arousal normally, regularly, reliably

If most men had to fake sexual pleasure so their partner wouldn’t feel insecure…

If sex left men in tears, numbness, or shutdown the way it does for millions of women…

If religion told boys that touching their cock would send them to hell

We would have:

  • national town halls

  • emergency legislation

  • billions in research funds

  • pharmaceutical task forces

  • public health campaigns

  • federal “Male Sexual Wellness” centers

  • parents storming school boards screaming for sex-positive education

But when it's women?

Society shrugs.

Women are told:

  • “Relax.”

  • “It's in your head.”

  • “Maybe you should lose weight.”

  • “Try lingerie.”

  • “Drink wine.”

  • “Just communicate more.”

  • “Have you tried being less sensitive?”

And the most insulting one of all:
“Women are complicated.”

No — we’re not complicated.
We’re wounded in a culture that refuses to see the wound.

Do you know why so many women seem “ultra bitchy” at times?

Because they are carrying the weight of:

  • sexual shame

  • religious indoctrination

  • trauma

  • fear

  • hypervigilance

  • performance pressure

  • emotional labor

  • being unheard, unheld, and unmatched

  • decades of pleasing

  • centuries of patriarchy

  • and the ongoing expectation to smile through all of it.

Imagine being told you’ll go to hell if you touch your own body.
Imagine being warned your desire makes you sinful.
Imagine being taught that your pleasure doesn’t matter.
Imagine being told your voice is disrespectful.
Imagine being held responsible for a man’s arousal, ego, and emotions.
Imagine being conditioned to tolerate pain, to fake pleasure, and to never complain.

Now imagine still being expected to show up as soft, sweet, available, forgiving, and sexy.

Women aren’t “bitchy.”

They are overloaded.
Underloved.
Unheard.
Unmet.
And deeply, spiritually exhausted.

The real emergency: women are shutting down — and men are paying the price too.

Here’s the spiritual and biological equation:

When women shut down, men lose access to erotic energy.
When women numb out, men lose polarity.
When women can’t trust, men cannot lead.
When women dissociate, men lose connection.

Everyone loses.

This is why erectile dysfunction is rising in younger men.
This is why porn addiction is exploding.
This is why relationships feel disconnected.
This is why people feel lonely even in partnership.

We cannot separate the masculine and feminine.
What harms one harms the other.
Always.

The Nervous System Truth No One Is Teaching

When women endure:

  • sexual shame

  • coercion

  • pressure

  • unwanted roughness

  • porn-influenced scripts

  • trauma reenactment

  • suppression of desire

…the nervous system does not interpret it as “kink” or “adventure.”

The body interprets it as threat.

Threat → cortisol → shutdown.

Shutdown looks like:

  • no desire

  • no arousal

  • no lubrication

  • no orgasm

  • no sensation

  • no trust

  • no emotional availability

  • irritability

  • rage

  • numbness

  • withdrawal

This is not “women are moody.”
This is the body protecting itself from what the culture refuses to protect her from.

And men have been taught the world’s most dangerous myth:

“It’s your job to get her out of her head.”

So men escalate intensity.
They choke her, slap her, push harder — thinking they’re helping.
They’re not.
They’re reenacting a trauma system they never consented to either.

No one wins here.
This isn’t sex.
This isn’t power.
This isn’t intimacy.

This is a collective cortisol collapse.

A Woman’s “Bitchiness” Is Often a Symptom of Her Awakening

When women begin to heal, something extraordinary happens:

They stop tolerating what hurts them.

They stop faking orgasms.
They stop apologizing for boundaries.
They stop accepting violence as arousal.
They stop pleasing at the cost of their soul.
They stop shrinking.
They stop saying yes when their body screams no.
They stop allowing men to take shortcuts into their bodies.

Yes — this can look like anger.
It can look like intensity.
It can look like fire.

But that fire is truth reclaiming its throne.

She isn’t being bitchy.
She is being born.

This Is My Work. This Is My Calling. This Is Why I’m Here.

I am here to expose:

  • the spiritual wounds

  • the psychological myths

  • the cultural scripts

  • the nervous-system science

  • the trauma patterns

  • the erotic lies

  • the unconscious reenactments

that have stolen women’s pleasure and confused men’s purpose.

I am here to rebuild erotic intelligence
— with truth,
with compassion,
with fire,
with presence,
with sovereignty,
with sacred instruction.

I am here to help men become safe, conscious, powerful leaders again.
I am here to help women reclaim their bodies, their pleasure, their voice, and their soul.

And I am here to end the illusion that any of us are separate.

Because what collapses the feminine collapses the world.
And what restores the feminine restores everything.

If you’re reading this, you are part of the revolution.

This is the beginning of a new erotic paradigm.
One rooted in:

  • presence

  • sovereignty

  • trauma-aware arousal

  • sacred power

  • nervous system wisdom

  • authentic dominance

  • real surrender

  • relational truth

  • and the healing of the human psyche’s deepest wounds

Men and women are not enemies.
We are mirrors.
We are partners in evolution.
We are soul-contracts waiting to be fulfilled.

This is the work I’m dedicating my life to.
And this newsletter is your first doorway into it.

If you’re ready to go deeper — stay close.
The next chapters will change everything you thought you knew about desire, intimacy, kink, trauma, pleasure, and the spiritual echo that lives in every erotic act.

I love you.
We rise now.
