According to a source, the Canadian hockey player and the former <em>Dancing With the Stars<\/em> pro are &#8220;spending time apart&#8221; as they navigate their next chapter together.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the speculation, Brooks is opening up about his sex life in a new episode of the <em>How Men Think<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iheart.com\/podcast\/1119-how-men-think-with-brooks-45801458\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">podcast<\/a>. During the episode, Brooks and co-host <strong>Gavin DeGraw<\/strong> are asked if they think they&#8217;re &#8220;great in bed,&#8221; to which Brooks replies, &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;One of my goals this year is to really explore, like, learning about sexuality,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;The amount of time in my life that I&#8217;ve studied hockey, athletics, training nutrition&#8230;people think that sexuality is just the act of sex, of just having sex. There&#8217;s so much more to it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brooks goes on to propose an &#8220;honest question,&#8221; asking listeners, &#8220;Are you fully 100 percent expressed in your true sexuality with your partner? With everything you could not imagine having a better sex life, are you truly there?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After asking the question, Brooks says he&#8217;s not.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"59\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"8\">\n<p>&#8220;So that&#8217;s one of his goals this year is to really dive into, essentially that&#8217;s a state of suffering. We&#8217;re not 10s out of 10s,&#8221; Brooks continues. &#8220;Do you even know who you are sexually? I truly in my core do not but I&#8217;m super excited about that journey. To truly learn about sexuality and get better at the performance at it. The understanding of who I am, who my wife is. That sort of dance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"html-external-3\" data-type=\"async\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"38\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-html-text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"16\">\n<p>Later on in the podcast, Brooks says he has a concept he wants to propose called &#8220;pleasure first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So the most important thing in your day is pleasure,&#8221; he explains, adding that he&#8217;s always tried to fit pleasure in after a certain number of activities in the day. &#8220;But what if I looked at my life, and what would the quality of my life be if I woke up prioritizing pleasure as the absolute most important thing in my day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brooks says that this &#8220;pleasure first&#8221; concept is something he&#8217;s trying to explore in his life because pleasure has not been first in the course of his life.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen to Brooks talk more about exploring sexuality in the podcast episode above!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"tune-in-4\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"34\">\n<p class=\"tune-in__text\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\">Watch <i>E!
