How do we keep that initial passion for sex and intimacy alive for the long-haul?
Highly sought after sexual/marital psychotherapist and founder of The Academy of Lasting Love, Nikki Green shares some illuminating lessons with Sara and co-host Kat from over 20 years of experience primarily working with women in Hong Kong.
She believes that great sex can definitely survive over the long-haul however it's a myth that it will just happen spontaneously and naturally. Sex is usually full of passion early on in the relationship, but the reality is that this addictive "dopamine high" gradually drops as time passes, and extra effort is required if a couple wants to maintain a healthy sex life.
Nikki emphasizes being deliberate around keeping that spark alive throughout your relationship, regardless of desire. In her view, relying on desire alone isn't enough to keep a relationship consistently juicy as desire goes up or down at any time.
Instead, making sex in a relationship last is about a commitment to connection, adventure, intimacy and requires a whole different mindset. A big part of which includes scheduling and showing up fully. Listen in as Nikki lays out a roadmap to make this a reality in any relationship!
