Key Takeaways:

  1. Healthy Sexuality: Defined as feeling positive about intimacy, free from pressure, coercion, or obligation.
  2. Impact of Stress: Chronic stress releases cortisol, affecting sex drive and creating emotional distance in relationships.
  3. Communication is Key: Open, honest conversations outside the bedroom help couples stay connected emotionally and navigate intimacy.
  4. Maintaining Intimacy: Regular check-ins and designated time for connection, such as "date nights," foster both emotional and physical intimacy.
  5. Emotional Closeness: Day-to-day attentiveness, care, and understanding build emotional intimacy, making physical intimacy more accessible and meaningful.
