How long does the average sexual encounter last? Recent research suggests just 6 minutes. While quickies certainly have their place, most couples yearn for more intimate, enjoyable, and fulfilling sexual connections. This is where mindfulness comes in. Practicing mindfulness during sex slows us down, helps us tune into our bodies and emotions, and enables us to be fully present with our partner. The benefits of this sexual mindfulness are profound. Studies show it enhances intimacy, satisfaction, libido, and frequency of sex. 

One big takeaway from our discussion is how sexual mindfulness can help you tackle common relationship issues like communication barriers, intimacy struggles, and shame. By creating an open and shame-free space to talk about your intimate experiences, you and your partner can be vulnerable with each other and strengthen your connection.

Tune in for practical strategies and insights to elevate your relationship to the next level.
