There’s an epidemic spreading through our bedrooms.
It feasts on intimacy, damages our physical and emotional health, and destroys relationships.

But it’s something wecanovercome, because it’s all about what’s missing from ourlovelives.
You see, society constantly bombards us with the message that we need moresex.

What we actually need more of is what sex gives us: connection, closeness, and physical intimacy.
So, what exactly is this thing that we’re desperatelymissing in our bedrooms?
We are starving for more non-sexual, physical touch.

What does that mean, and how exactly do we prioritize it in the bedroom?
It means you should touch just to touch.
Don’t get me wrong, sex can deeply connect us with our significant others.
Not really sure what you’re doing?
____ Sometimes a little touch is all it takes.
Simply put, the meaning behind your effort means more than your skill level.
The goal, as always, is connection, harmony, and loving intimacy.
Human beings are a social species.
As such, we are literally hardwired for connection.
We all crave touch, and we especially love it from the people that we already adore.
and make cuddling a nightly priority.
It could be one of the best things that you’ve done for your relationship in months.
This exercise is all about fully embracing our healthy selfishness.
As long as your partner is comfortable with whatever your requests are, there areno holds barred.
Maybe you want to be the little spoon for awhile.
Maybe you want your partner to stroke your hair and lightly scratch your scalp.
Maybe you want a deep, strong foot rub.
Whatever feels heavenly to you, it’s yours for the receiving.
Take turns touching however you’d like to be touched and load up on delicious oxytocin.
Don’t let your love life slide any more than it already has.
There’s nothing more important than the depth of connection that you have with your significant other.
I wish you two the best of luck in your intimate journey.
