Welcome to the latest episode of the Intimacy Mattters podcast where we dive into intimacy and relationships. 

Highlights of this episode include:

  • Sex Frequency: How often is "normal"?
  • Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire: Why knowing the difference makes ALL the difference.
  • Navigating Differences: Contrary to popular  belief, sex can improve with time through exploration, communication, and a shift away from performance-based attitudes.
  • Initiation Strategies: We share some playful approaches to help initiate intimacy without pressure.

Resources mentioned in the episode:

  • NATSAL British Survey of Sexual Attitudes
  • David Schnarch's book "Passionate Marriage"
  • Good Times Planner (download)
