Bringing pets into the bedroom is often a source of distraction that negatively impacts a couple's sex life.

“if you put them outside my understanding because I've heard this as cats as well my understanding is that they will bar and scratch at the door it's not like you can keep them away very easily this is a massive challenge pets should come with a warning label for your sex life”

Emotional intimacy and physical intimacy are deeply intertwined, with one reinforcing the other.

“We really think that physical and emotional intimacy are just deeply entwined.”

Integrating consistent nonsexual physical touch, such as cuddling or holding hands, fosters a foundation of connection that naturally increases sexual desire and satisfaction.

“we need to normalize cuddling each other, right? Even if it's just hugging, right? If you just simply hug your partner for 90 seconds a day, it's going to build relationship satisfaction and it's going to lead to you naturally experiencing more desire.”

True intimacy is characterized by selfless connection and being known by another person rather than just sexual gratification.

“our definition of intimacy is it's in the word into me see that's what intimacy is and so intimacy is not I'm getting to know you it's actually more about you getting to know me”
