Episode notes
Start Talking About Sex Without Shame
- Talk about sex early and often to give yourself permission to discuss intimacy without shame.
- Use resources like The Counterfeit Climax audiobook and Nine Days to Great Sex to guide conversation and provide structured questions.
Morning Testosterone Affects Male Desire
- Men's testosterone typically peaks in the morning and is lowest before bed, affecting desire and performance.
- Relying only on late-night sex means couples often experience intimacy at their physical lowest, so try daytime moments too.
Use A Sexual Sabbath And A Scheduled Intimacy Day
- Create structure: pick one day as a sexual Sabbath and one day guaranteed for intimacy to reduce pressure and increase predictability.
- Let the Sabbath day reassure the lower-drive spouse that affection isn't always leading to sex.
