Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Millawdon Varied Nights Trick (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for learning intimate questions to make your relationship stronger without the normal expense. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 after many years got excellent success with it.

1. Try something new together 2. Draw your partner and discuss (what stands out to you about them ) 3. Find lyrics that express your love 4. Blindfolded food tasted (put the food on the body) 5. Ask taboo questions 6. Recreate a special moment and discuss

"The thing about building intimacy is it requires vulnerability." That's deep and so true. Wish my ex-wife understood that. Thanks GQ for bringing me here.

We both already have learned a lot but haven't used any of the information or activies you've suggested yet because we've been too busy binge watching your videos🤣 We cannot wait to become better and grow together thank you so much!

Sometimes it seems impossible to build intimacy when it was never there to being with. Coming from someone that was in a relationship where intimacy was always tucked away, and hidden, it just seemed easier to find something new.

Wow you deserve so many more subs and views!! Thank you SO much for your amazing videos 🙏 I’m in a eight year relationship and we’re high school sweethearts so we’ve been through A LOT! We definitely wish we had a more stable relationship earlier on when we were younger. Sometimes we slip back into toxic habits of the past but we are stable and happy majority of the time! Hopefully those bad habits will go away over the years and as we continue to establish better communication habits, especially after learning more from your videos! ♥️

Hello! I was wondering if you’ve ever dealt with asexual clients/a relationship where one person is asexual. I am demisexual and I am honestly scared of dating due to either my partner pressuring me or leaving me. Can an asexual and allosexual person be together? How? I would like to know how you would give advice for navigating intimacy in that scenario because usually aces are just left in the dust just because we didn’t want to have sex as much as they did (I guess it also involved sexual compatibility?)

She said that building intimacy requires vulnerability. You start. Apologize without explaining why you should be forgiven. Listen. Cry. Tell the truth, Listen more. Ask her what she wants. And listen. Then get to work.
