This is the thing that many women seldom understand about armored men. They often focus on the fact that the men aren’t connecting with them. This is true, and they have every right to feel frustrated by this, but they also need to see the bigger picture. The reality is that many of them aren’t connecting with themselves either. From the beginning, men have been cast in the role of warrior protector and their emotional armor is fundamental to the task. They are so saturated in their vigilant conditioning, so blocked up by their emotional holdings, that many of them cannot open their hearts to love’s mysteries. It’s not like they are consciously withholding intimacy- they simply have no idea how to experience it beyond the surrendered heat of orgasm, and they see perpetual surrender as an unconscious threat to their duty as protector. Vigilance and surrender make strange bedfellows. (~an excerpt from Ascending with Both Feet on the Ground)
