Many men grow up ashamed of their need for sex and intimacy, because on one hand they've been told that men who think that way are pigs, dogs, whatever. And on the other hand, wanting intimacy is feminine and not manly. Cognitive dissonance, and it separates you from what you want, and going for what you want.
The program I linked to, has helped me deal with some of those issues and to get in touch with what I want, and to allow myself to have those very things. Maybe it could help him, or others with a similar challenge.
