031 Scheduling Sex? What To Do When You Can’t Find Time To Get It On

031 Scheduling Sex? What To Do When You Can’t Find Time To Get It On

Description of the episode

This episode was prompted by a recent audience question, but it’s an age-old debate in the sex therapy realm. Is it lame to schedule sex? If you don’t schedule it, do you wind up just being in a permanent sex rut?

Of course spontaneous sex can feel extra hot and intense . . . and no one wants sex to feel like another appointment on their calendar. We want novelty and adventure in our sex lives to keep things spicy.

But sometimes you and your partner want sex at different times of day or your schedules make you like ships passing in the night and it’s all conversations about logistics when you do have a moment together.

It doesn’t have to be that way!

What you’ll learn in this episode

  • The pros and cons of scheduling sex
  • Who should and shouldn’t schedule intimacy
  • Whether you should schedule sex or just create the conditions for sex
