A sexpert says scheduling time for intimacy can save a failing relationship - and even credits it with rescuing her own. Holly Robinson, 34, believes pre-planning intimacy and sex could have “huge” benefits for sexual wellbeing - in the same way as “scheduling therapy for mental health”. The sex coach, who founded the Hormone Hub with best friend Rachel Anderson, 34, often recommends scheduling sex to struggling couples.
But says pencilling other forms of intimacy - such as cuddles and massages - in the diary is even more important as sex itself. Holly makes time with her partner every day for intimacy, sex and deep discussions. Holly said: “I genuinely don’t think my relationship would have survived if it weren’t for scheduling intimacy.
“We both work, we both have kids, we have devices coming out of our ears and it can be really disconnecting. We had to consciously choose to reconnect with each other. Obviously I’d much rather have spontaneous sex as and when the moment is right, but realistically that can be challenging.
