#85 The great date night deception Valantines special


Listen Later

Talk to Nichole and Ben.


In this episode of Love for Life, Nichole and Ben expose the uncomfortable truth about Valentine's Day: couples are spending more money than ever on romantic gestures whilst having significantly less sex, revealing a fundamental disconnect between performative love and genuine intimacy. The hosts dissect why the annual £143 average spend on Valentine's Day isn't translating to bedroom connection, and how the entire romantic industrial complex has sold couples a lie about what actually creates lasting desire.


This episode is essential listening for anyone who goes through the motions of date nights but still feels like roommates, couples spending money on romance whilst their sex life withers, or anyone googling "why am I not horny?" instead of "best Valentine's gifts." Nichole and Ben explore why your nervous system has veto power over your sex life, how accumulated resentment blocks arousal even during romantic scenarios, and why emotional safety must come before physical intimacy. With 25% of Gen Z adults reporting never experiencing partnered sex and weekly sexual activity dropping from 55% to 37% since 1990, this conversation couldn't be more timely.


If you've ever planned the perfect romantic evening only to come home feeling more distant than before, this episode will either revolutionise your approach to intimacy or help you understand why grand gestures can't fix foundational problems.
