In this festive and science-backed episode, we explore why sexual interest often rises during the holiday season. From increased emotional warmth and time off work to alcohol consumption and cultural rhythms, the holidays create a unique environment that shapes intimacy. Drawing on psychological research, sexual-health studies, and global data trends, we unpack what really drives this seasonal spike — plus the risks, myths, and practical tips for joyful, consensual, safe intimacy.
