I remember sleeping with this guy once—objectively hot, clearly well-practiced. The kind of man who probably watched a lot of tutorials, read all the right books, maybe even got praised by exes for being “so attentive.” His hands moved in all the right patterns. He said all the right things.
And yet… I left his bed and never once thought about going back.
Not because anything was wrong. He was technically solid. He asked questions. He was gentle. It just didn’t leave a mark. I didn’t find myself aching for him at 2 a.m., or reflexively checking my phone for a text. He didn’t sink into me.
That experience, echoed in so many conversations I’ve had with both clients and women, left me with the same question: what actually makes sex unforgettable?
Because when you strip away the performance, the polite choreography, and even the orgasm itself, some encounters still hang around in the psyche like ghosts. They haunt. They obsess. They compel.
So what’s the difference?
I’ve spent years working with men to answer that exact question—and the answer has almost nothing to do with technique.
For me, unforgettable sex is when I stop being “me.” When I’m no longer narrating, no longer adjusting, no longer trying to read or manage him. My body takes the wheel, and my mind gets dissolved in sensation. It’s animal. Uncaged. Trancelike.
And almost always, the sex that gets me there is defined by a very particular dynamic: the man isn’t reacting to me. He’s not checking if I’m okay every two minutes. He’s not yielding to my anxiety or trying to micromanage my pleasure. He’s not asking me to lead the scene while he waits politely.
He’s setting the pace, anchoring the moment. He’s not performing dominance—he is dominant. Quietly. Subtly. Without ever needing to name it.
I dated a guy in my twenties who was incredibly sweet. We had fun, we laughed a lot, and the sex was… fine. But every time I tried to tease him or flirt a little aggressively, he’d shrink. Not physically, but energetically. He’d giggle or go quiet, unsure what to do with the energy I was tossing his way.
I’d say something like, “You’re really going to wear that shirt?” with a smirk, hoping for some playful pushback, and he’d nervously say, “What’s wrong with it?”
In that moment, I felt like the one steering, and I didn’t want to be. I wanted him to meet me there, or better—tilt the frame and make me blush. But he couldn’t hold the tension. Not because he was weak, but because no one ever taught him how to hold his ground without turning cold.
This is what I teach men now—not how to be cocky or aloof, but how to develop the capacity to lead emotionally and erotically without needing to overpower.
There’s a term in improv called status play. Keith Johnstone, who basically wrote the bible on improv, realized that good scenes didn’t come from characters chasing goals—they came from subtle shifts in status. Little moves that suggested dominance or submission, attraction or threat. Every sentence, every pause, every glance is a status cue.
And the same is true in sex.
When you tease a woman, for example, she can either crumple (low status), giggle and deflect (low status), or tease you right back (high status). But what really turns her on? When you don’t blink at her pushback. When you let her throw the punch—and you grin while catching it mid-air.
A man once pinned my wrists mid-sex and said, “You wanted this the second you saw me.”
The words weren’t even original. But the delivery? Calm. Certain. Rooted in his own frame. I melted. Not because I believed him, but because he didn’t care if I believed him. He was anchoring the scene—and I wanted to fall into it.
This is the invisible art of erotic leadership: refusing to be steered by her momentary doubts, anxiety, or second-guessing. Not because you ignore her consent or needs—but because you don’t let her narrating mind take the reins once the music’s already started.
Let me give you a clearer example.
Imagine you’re going down on her. After a while, she says, “It’s okay, I don’t think I can come. We can stop.”
Most guys, wanting to be respectful, stop. They move on. They reassure her that it’s totally fine. And sure, that’s sweet. But it’s also the moment her mind reclaims control. It says, “See? I was right. My pleasure is a problem. I’m taking too long. He’s probably tired. Let’s not inconvenience him.”
But the man who keeps going—gently, confidently, without a flicker of disappointment—does something alchemical. He teaches her brain that it’s safe to let go. That he’s not waiting for performance or productivity. That he’s got her, and her thoughts can fuck off for a while.
That’s dominance. That’s status. That’s holding frame.
One of the best lovers I ever had barely said a word during sex. But every move he made felt like a decision. When I pushed back, he just smiled and pulled me closer. When I complained that a position felt awkward, he adjusted without fanfare—never defensively, never negotiating, just quietly reorienting until we were back in sync. It felt like dancing with someone who already knew the rhythm of my body better than I did.
I don’t even remember if I came that night.
But I remember the feeling.
That’s what men miss when they focus only on performance. They hit all the right notes, but forget the song.
To be clear: technique matters. So does consent. So does trust…all things I teach. But none of that creates the kind of sex that leaves her dazed, breathless, aching to return. That kind of sex—the sex that lingers in the body like scent on bedsheets—comes from presence. From polarity. From the subtle, electric interplay of status and surrender.
You don’t need to be rich, or tall, or experienced. But you do need to know how to hold your own frame while inviting her out of hers.
That’s the work I help men do.
And when you get it right? She is yours…mind, body and soul.
