On this episode of #mensexpleasure, Cam chats with men’s coach Sean Hotchkiss, who has spent six to seven years coaching men (typically ages 30–50) to reconnect with emotions, bodies, and relationships, and discusses his book, "Hating Women: A Memoir of Male Rage and Recovery," published by Simon & Schuster. Hotchkiss explains the provocative title came from his female editor and led him to examine his anger toward women, inherited misogyny, and early conditioning that shames vulnerability and femininity. He shares how a lack of engaged fathering, adapting to his mother and stepmother, and dramatic, substance-fueled early relationships shaped his fear and need for validation through women, including a dark drug-fueled night in New York. They discuss porn and male socialization as drivers of objectification and disconnected sex, the harms that can follow, and the role of shame, men’s groups, consent, communication, and broader self-pleasure practices in recovery and healthier intimacy.
