Steven Ing

Steven Ing is reframing an important conversation in society — one about the intelligent management of love.

For the last 35 years, in both his private and forensic practices, Steven Ing, MFT, has helped thousands of clients begin sorting out how they, too, can have truly intimate and joyfully happy lives with their partners. His books, articles, podcasts, and public appearances continue to create freer conversations around love, relationships, and human sexuality that are safe…but not so safe that they cross the line into boring.

Intimacy (the ability to safely share our lives together) begins where honesty starts. If you can’t share who you are, connection stays shallow. The courage to be seen is what builds real relationships. Follow to learn more.

The idea that women are secretly meeting to select only 6 feet, 6 figures, 6 pack is fantasy. Attraction is far less predictable. People fall for humor, warmth, presence. Love rarely follows a checklist. It follows connection. Follow to learn more.

When you believe you’re unlovable, you’ll find “proof” everywhere. But the real barrier isn’t your looks—it’s the walls you built to protect yourself. Letting people in is the real challenge. Follow to learn more.

Most men already know when their behavior is wrong. The real issue is fear—of not being enough, of losing control, of being left. Growth begins when you face it and speak it out loud. Follow to learn more.

Would you want someone to stay with you out of guilt or pity? That is not love. That is obligation. If someone is only there because they feel bad leaving, you both lose. We should want to be chosen freely, not tolerated. Follow to learn more.

What if you talked about consent before the first kiss? You’d learn more in that conversation than in the kiss itself. You’ll see if they can express desire, comfort, and boundaries. That intel is priceless. Intimacy starts there. Follow to learn more.

Get comfortable with your own company first. When you truly enjoy your life, you won’t share it lightly. The standard becomes simple: I need to be crazy about you to invite you into my world. Follow to learn more.
