<p>What can we learn about intimacy from a man who's spent years listening to women?</p><p>I was curious to find out.</p><p>My guest for this episode is George Goulburn, a professional male companion whose work has given him a rare opportunity to hear women speak openly about intimacy, desire, relationships and the stories they carry about themselves.</p><p>He's only my second ever male guest on <strong>TURNED ON</strong>. Not because I was looking for a man's opinion on women, but because I was curious about the patterns he'd noticed, the conversations he'd had time and time again, and the perspectives he was willing to share that might help women see themselves - and their intimate experiences - a little differently.</p><p>In this conversation, we explore:</p><ul><li>what has surprised him most after years of listening to women</li><li>Some of the stories women tell themselves about their bodies - and another, male, perspective to consider</li><li>Why communication is one of the most important ingredients for intimacy</li><li>The role safety, trust and slowing down can play in creating deeper connection</li><li>Why uniqueness can be far more attractive than perfection</li><li>What helps women feel more comfortable in their own skin</li><li>The messages many women rarely hear - but perhaps need to</li><li>The one thing he'd love more men in midlife to understand</li><p><br /></p></ul><p>Whether you're partnered, dating or happily single, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling a little more seen, a little more hopeful, and perhaps a little more curious.</p><p>During our conversation, George mentions the film <strong>Good Luck to You, Leo Grande</strong>, starring Emma Thompson.</p><p><strong>Connect with George</strong></p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.georgegoulburn.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.georgegoulburn.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/georgegoulburnofficial/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/georgegoulburnofficial/</a></p><p>If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love to stay connected.</p><p>✨ Visit <a href="http://www.pennyvandersluys.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.pennyvandersluys.com</strong></a> to discover my coaching, online programs, offerings and the Wonder Women Club, or join my email community for inspiration and upcoming events.</p><p>📸 Come and say hello on Instagram: <strong>@pennyvandersluys</stron
