How we see sex and intimacy on screen has profound effects on how we learn to love each other. But, what we see on-screen is based on a myth rather than reality. Dr Orna Guralnik, who hosts the hugely popular TV series Couples Therapy pointed to one couple who appeared on her show, in which the woman confessed that she had real difficulties with the idea of what she called ‘Tuesday sex’.
It is the kind of weekday sex that establishes a connection with a partner; an intimacy that preserves your relationship and feels part of your routine rather than something mind-blowing and special. Tuesday sex is important in a committed relationship in cementing a regular connection and strengthening emotional ties. Yet it is rarely depicted in mainstream Hollywood.
