I wrote Love in the Time of Corona to help couples improve their sex lives and strengthen their relationships during the time of the coronavirus pandemic. The book includes practical advice, client stories, personal anecdotes, and numerous do-at-home exercises (both sexual and non-sexual), all organized around these ten guidelines:
1. Get to know your partner better.
2. Plan your date night at home.
3. Be mindful about sex.
4. Use touch to relieve stress.
5. Revitalize your senses.
6. Laugh and play together.
7. Try something new.
8. Learn more about sex.
9. Express gratitude.
10. Recommit to your relationship.
The guidance in this book is useful for your time in quarantine and my optimistic message of connection, pleasure, and healing holds value for years to come.
