Why Men Stop Initiating Sex In Long-Term Relationships

High-achieving men often bring their boardroom skills into the bedroom — and it's destroying their relationships. In this episode, David Chambers sits down with Sean Forde Kelly to unpack why successful men struggle with intimacy, how male shame shuts down desire, and what it actually takes to build sexual confidence. Discover why society reduces male pleasure to something basic, how emotional suppression creates disconnection, and the practical steps to become more present, curious, and authentic in your intimate relationships. If you're a man in your 30s or 40s feeling stuck in repeating patterns, this conversation will change how you think about sex, intimacy, and what women actually need from you.

Seán Forde Kelly grew up on a council estate in Manchester. He went on to earn a Masters in Financial Economics, built his first business in 2015, and spent years in the corporate world. Then he started asking different questions and found the work that actually mattered.

He now works privately with Founders and CEOs on leadership, impact and relationships — from boardroom to bedroom.

Seán is also the Founder of Come What May, a non-profit Sexual Wellness community that has hosted 200+ free events globally since 2022, facilitating thousands of conversations people never thought they could have.
