Discover how attachment strategies affect sexual intimacy – and dial up your relationship

Does great sex always fade over time? Good news: Research says otherwise! Securely attached couples have the most frequent sex—in the greatest variety, with the least inhibition. But as most couples know, this level of intimacy requires communication, vulnerability, and trust.

Through their popular podcast and private practices, sex therapist/couples therapist, Laurie Watson and couples therapist, trainer George Faller have helped thousands of couples restore their relationships, in and out of the bedroom. In Brave Love, Great Sex, they reveal how to strengthen both emotional and sexual connections, leading to deeper intimacy and lasting fulfillment.

With research-based advice and relatable examples, they show us how to:

  • Identify Negative Cycles: Recognize your sexual and emotional attachment patterns
  • Replace Protective Strategies: Learn how to turn fight or flight dynamics into bonding moments
  • Shift Perspectives: Move from blame to understanding and shared empathy
  • Enhance Sexual Conversations: Improve discussions around specific turn-ons and turn-offs to increase levels of engagement
  • Foster True Closeness: Learn how intimacy creates safety and joy in sexual exploration.

This illuminating guide will help couples who are struggling with intimacy issues, as well as those who simply want to dial up their connection, ensuring a vibrant, secure, and lasting bond that is both emotionally intimate and sexually erotic.
