Taking a Sex "Time Out" in a Relationship: Helpful Reset or Risky Move?

Taking a break from sex while in a relationship can feel scary, relieving, confusing—or all three at once. In this episode, we explore the idea of a sex "time out": what it is, why couples choose it, and whether it's actually a healthy move or a relationship red flag.

We talk about the potential benefits—like reducing pressure, rebuilding emotional intimacy, and reconnecting with desire—as well as the real concerns, including mismatched expectations, feelings of rejection, and what happens when a break isn't clearly defined. You'll hear how to tell if a sex break might support your relationship, how to approach it with consent and communication, and how to come back together intentionally if and when you're ready.

Whether you're considering a pause, already in one, or just curious, this episode offers a compassionate, judgment-free look at taking sex off the table—without taking connection with it.

Send the us your sex and relationship questions and maybe you will inspire the next episode of The Dildo Whisperer. We have two ways to reach the show. You can call into our show at 844-695-2766 or you can email us at Askthedw@gmail.com.
