When was the last time you flirted with your partner?

Not asked about groceries. Not discussed schedules. Not coordinated who is picking up the kids. Actually flirted.

In this episode of Sex, Here & Now, I explore why flirting is one of the first things to disappear in long-term relationships and one of the most important things to bring back. Flirting is not just about seduction. It is about playfulness, curiosity, desire, and reminding each other that you are more than roommates managing a household.

We will talk about why flirting feels effortless in the beginning of relationships, why it often fades over time, and how bringing it back can strengthen intimacy, connection, and sexual desire. Whether your flirting style is playful teasing, compliments, physical touch, inside jokes, or suggestive texts throughout the day, there is no one right way to do it.

If your relationship has been feeling a little too practical and not nearly playful enough, this episode is for you.
