Episode notes
Avoid Numbing, Keep Intimacy Alive
- Avoid getting too comfortable and numbing out with Netflix or phone scrolling every night as it raises stress hormones and disconnects you from your partner.
- Keep physical intimacy like kissing, touching, and flirting active, even without expecting sex, to maintain connection and desire.
Communicate and Prioritize Sex
- Speak up about what feels good or not during sex to avoid enduring discomfort and increasing disconnection.
- Prioritize sex and pleasure rather than avoiding or rushing through it to maintain closeness and desire in your relationship.
Don't Rely on 'Hopium'
- Avoid hoping the problem will fix itself; hope is a drug that delays taking responsibility.
- Take action to fix underlying issues in your sex life instead of just waiting for improvement.
