She argues against the common trope of married sex becoming dull or absent, and provides practical tips for maintaining a fulfilling sexual connection throughout a relationship.

      Honesty and communication are key to maintaining a satisfying sex life, even in long-term relationships like marriage. Emily emphasizes the importance of acknowledging sexual attractions and working through them together. She encourages couples to prioritize their pleasure and not settle for lackluster sex. In the context of weddings and honeymoons, Emily argues against the common trope of married sex becoming dull or absent. Instead, she encourages couples to communicate openly about their desires and needs, and to continue exploring and enhancing their sexual connection throughout their relationship. Additionally, she provides practical tips for recreating the honeymoon experience and navigating cultural norms around sex and relationships. Overall, the message is that sex and pleasure should be a priority throughout one's life, and that open communication and honesty are essential for maintaining a fulfilling sexual relationship.

    • Having intentional conversations about sex and relationshipsCouples should discuss sex and relationships openly and intentionally to build a strong and fulfilling partnership, considering frequency, models, and potential challenges.

      Having intentional and open conversations about sex and relationships is essential for couples at any stage. The cultural landscape around sex and relationships is changing, with more acceptance of bisexuality, open relationships, and deeper conversations. Marriage or long-term commitment is an opportunity to have these conversations and plan for a healthy sex life. Consider questions about frequency, models, and addressing potential challenges. Don't leave your sex life to chance – be intentional and open. Whether you're just starting a relationship or preparing for marriage, these conversations are crucial for a strong and fulfilling partnership.

    • Communicating about Sexual Growth and PleasureAcknowledging that sex and desires change, committing to open communication, and using tools like sex vows and the yes, no, maybe list can lead to a stronger and more fulfilling relationship.

      Having a growth mindset about sex and intimacy in relationships is crucial. This means acknowledging that sex and desires change over time and committing to open communication about it. Writing sex vows, similar to wedding vows, can help couples prioritize and honor their sexual growth and pleasure. Additionally, using tools like the yes, no, maybe list can help facilitate conversations about sexual desires and preferences. Overall, prioritizing and maintaining open communication about sex and intimacy can lead to a stronger and more fulfilling relationship.

    • Revisiting past experiences and discussing favorites can help reignite intimacyDiscuss favorite memories, role-play past dates, and prioritize sexual experiences to bring back the spark in long-term relationships

      Intentionality and nostalgia can help bring back the spark in a long-term relationship and recreate the magic of honeymoon sex. By discussing favorite sexual experiences and memories, couples can identify patterns and desires, leading to new experiences and rekindled intimacy. Revisiting early courtship experiences through role-play or recreating past dates can also help reignite the butterflies and feelings of the honeymoon phase. The free pleasure planner tool can also be a helpful resource in mapping out and prioritizing sexual experiences throughout the year. Remember, it's natural for individuals to grow and change over time, but intentional efforts to maintain and strengthen intimacy can lead to a fulfilling and satisfying sex life.

    • Keep the spark alive in relationshipsIncorporate intention, exploration, and new experiences in relationships, including trying cannabis products for enhanced pleasure and enjoying low-carb options for guilt-free dining.

      Keeping the spark alive in a relationship, especially in the bedroom, requires intention and exploration. Whether it's recreating honeymoon sex or trying new things, the key is to be present and playful together. And if you're looking to enhance your sexual experiences, consider incorporating cannabis, such as Via Hemp Company's THC libido gummies, which can help increase pleasure and presence. Additionally, for those who enjoy bread but want to avoid carb guilt, Hero Bread offers delicious, low-carb options that taste just as good as the traditional versions. So whether it's in the bedroom or at the dinner table, remember to prioritize intention, exploration, and finding products that fit your goals and desires.

    • Understanding desire shifts in relationshipsExplore factors affecting sex drive, communicate openly, try new things, and seek help if needed to maintain intimacy in long-term relationships.

      In every relationship, there's a high desire and a low desire partner, and it's common for couples to experience a shift in sexual frequency and desire after the honeymoon phase. Factors such as stress, medication, health issues, and intimacy levels can impact sex drive. It's essential to explore these areas and have open conversations with your partner about turn-ons, pleasuring each other, and trying new things in the bedroom to keep the intimacy alive. Consider seeking help from a therapist or counselor if conflicts arise. Remember, novelty and spontaneity are crucial in long-term relationships.

    • Communication is crucial for navigating sexual exploration and relationshipsBe clear about intentions and communicate effectively to avoid misunderstandings and disappointment in sexual relationships, whether new or long-term. Utilize various dating platforms and consider exploring sexuality outside of apps to increase chances of successful experiences.

      Communication and clarity are key in navigating sexual exploration and relationships. If you're in a new relationship and your partner is reluctant to discuss their sex drive or explore their own desires, it may be an indication that they're not willing to put in the effort to be a great lover for you. In contrast, if you're in a long-term relationship and one partner has recently come out as bisexual and wants to explore their sexuality with women, it's essential to communicate clearly about intentions and be specific about what you're looking for in a potential partner. This can help avoid misunderstandings and disappointment. Additionally, don't limit yourself to one dating app or platform; different apps cater to different needs and intentions. Finally, exploring sexuality outside of apps at events or parties can also be an option. Ultimately, being clear and intentional in your approach can lead to more successful and fulfilling sexual experiences and relationships.

    • Revive your sex life through open communicationEffective communication, respecting each other's limits, regular date nights, and therapy can help rekindle a satisfying sex life

      Effective communication is crucial in maintaining a healthy and satisfying sex life. For couples who have never experienced a great sex life or are struggling after having a child, initiating an open and curious conversation about their desires and boundaries can help rekindle the spark. It's essential to find the right timing, tone, and setting for this conversation, and remember that creating or rebuilding sexual attraction takes effort and dedication. Regular date nights, non-negotiable time for the couple, and therapy can be helpful resources in this process. Additionally, discussing and respecting each other's limits and adjusting accordingly is vital for a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship.

    • Communication and self-improvement are essential for a satisfying sexual relationship.Through therapy, open conversations, and personal growth, couples can overcome disagreements and build a stronger, more satisfying sexual relationship.

      Communication and self-improvement are key in improving sexual relationships. Therapy can be a valuable resource, even before reaching a crisis point. Couples can benefit from learning about each other's desires and building skills together. It's important to remember that past experiences may influence current perceptions, and open, non-judgmental conversations can help uncover underlying reasons for disagreements. For instance, if one partner dislikes the idea of marriage, exploring the root cause may reveal that it's not about the institution itself but rather past experiences or personal values. By fostering open dialogue and working on personal growth, couples can build a stronger and more satisfying sexual relationship.

    • Communicating effectively to resolve conflictsUnderstand each other's perspectives, work towards common ground, address issues promptly, prioritize pleasure, and seek help when needed to build and maintain a healthy relationship.

      Effective communication is crucial in resolving conflicts and misunderstandings in relationships. During the podcast discussion, Emily emphasized the importance of having a specific and granular conversation about differences and disagreements between partners. She encouraged listeners to understand each other's perspectives and preferences, and to work towards finding common ground. The conversation should take place as soon as possible, as unaddressed issues can lead to distress and pain. Emily also emphasized the importance of prioritizing pleasure and seeking help or advice when needed. Ultimately, the goal is to build and maintain a healthy and fulfilling relationship.
