We’ve all heard the phrase “make-up sex” but what’s really going on underneath it? In this episode, Pat & Mario unpack the emotional psychology behind reconnecting physically after conflict. Is it genuine repair, a release of tension, or a way to avoid the harder conversations?

We talk about vulnerability, ego, attachment, and why intimacy can feel so intense after an argument. When does make-up sex actually bring couples closer… and when does it quietly mask unresolved issues?

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about communication, emotional safety, and learning the difference between connection and distraction. If you’ve ever wondered why the closeness hits differently after a fight, this episode is for you.
