Mindful INTIMACY

ENHANCE YOUR RELATIONSHIP IN THE BEDROOM

- By Belad Al-karkhey.

Do you feel like there's something missing from your sex life? Or perhaps the spark with your partner seems like it's fizzling. Whatever the case, Womanizer sexpert and sex and relationship therapist Christine Rafe is here to help.

WHAT IS MINDFUL INTIMACY?

Mindful intimacy, or slow sex, has a focus on presence and pleasure rather than performance and end-goals. It's aligned with the idea most people aren't having sex for the purpose of reproduction but rather pleasure and connection.

“Most of us learnt about sex through sexual health ed – with a penis-centred script that sees penetration as real sex and ejaculation as the goal,” says Christine. “Mindful sex is almost the opposite of what we've been told sex should be.”
