The In-Law Holiday Dilemma

Welcome back to the Naked Marriage podcast! We're Dave and Ashley, and in this episode, we're diving into a topic close to our hearts: alternative forms of physical intimacy and spicing up your sex life.

We're sharing our own tips and techniques for enhancing foreplay and exploring sensuality, all while stressing the importance of open communication and understanding each other's desires. Let's prioritize our sex life and tackle any challenges together, because a thriving marriage deserves nothing less. ---------------------------- The Secret to Great Sex:https://youtu.be/MfWrHvoBjI8 Need Marriage Help?: Xomarriage.com/help Want More Resources?: https://store.xomarriage.com/collections/new-releases/products/the-counterfeit-climax-1 ---------------------------- Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Overview 02:20 Exploring Alternative Forms of Physical Intimacy 12:50 Enhancing Sexual Intimacy: Tips and Techniques Learn more about your ad choices.
