Dr. Lori Buckley guest-hosted, interviewing Dr. Diana and her husband Bryan about Diana’s new book Love in the Time of Corona: Advice from a Sex Therapist for Couples in Quarantine published today on Amazon! Take a look. The e-book is available now, soon to be followed by a paperback edition.
Several questions were explored including: What can couples do to thrive and grow closer during this challenging time? “Forced togetherness” can be used as an opportunity to explore your sexual relationship and rekindle the sparks of passion. In addition to having fun, you may discover deeper levels of intimacy, both with your partner and with yourself. What makes touch so important for couples? Now, more than ever, we need comforting touch, a touch of love. There’s a universal truth about human sexuality: no matter your sexual beliefs, nothing beats a good back or foot massage.
What about romance? Is it possible in this challenging time? Absolutely yes! Romance has a lot more to do with thoughtfulness, kindness, and fun than spending tons of money, although flowers can be welcome if your partner is really present in other ways as well. Dr. Lori asked about more topics from the book – including: the health benefits and healing powers of sex; scheduling sex, putting it on the calendar for a Date Night at home; reconnecting sexually if there’s been a long period of time without much intimacy; tips for becoming more confident and skilled as a lover; suggestions for couples to improve their sexual communication skills; and Dr Diana’s Seven Secrets for Sensational Sex. Tune in – you may be informed and inspired! Buy the book and you will find many exercises giving you structure so that you can make positive relationship changes during this pandemic.
