Unsexy Habits That Quietly Ruin Relationships with Dr. Emily Jamea
Are you unintentionally sabotaging your relationship or losing your libido without knowing why? In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Emily Jamea to talk about the subtle, unsexy habits that can quietly destroy emotional and physical intimacy in long-term relationships. These aren’t dramatic blow-ups or obvious red flags but small, everyday behaviors that slowly build walls between you and your partner. We unpacked why these habits form, how they affect your connection over time, and what you can do to turn things around. If you’ve been feeling distant, disconnected, or stuck in a rut, this conversation offers real, practical ways to reignite desire and rebuild closeness. Whether you’re in a committed relationship or just want to better understand how to keep love and passion alive, this video is a powerful starting point.
Key Points
- Sexual embodiment involves being fully present in the body and engaging with all five senses, which can improve the sexual experience and deepen connection with a partner.
- Modern distractions like smartphones and multitasking contribute to a disembodied state that can hinder sexual focus and satisfaction, making it essential to practice single-tasking and mindfulness throughout the day.
- Setting clear goals and intentions for a sexual experience can help couples achieve a flow state, leading to a more focused, connected, and ultimately more satisfying sexual encounter.
