Susan Bratton is back, and she always brings the fire. Susan is known as the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” and she’s devoted her life to helping people reclaim vitality and sexual satisfaction—especially in long-term relationships. She’s written over 40 books and programs, has been on every major outlet you can imagine, and she’s been married to her husband Tim for 34 years… with a sex life that’s better than ever.
We dive into what Susan calls the Five Principles of Lifelong Hot Monogamy—her proven practices for keeping desire alive and even amplifying it over time. Susan shares why marriage doesn’t have to mean the end of passion, and how honesty, growth, and play can keep sex hotter than ever as the years go on.
We talk about radical honesty in the bedroom, cultivating a growth mindset together, why scheduling intimacy is actually sexy, and how to balance trust and safety with novelty and variety. Susan also shares the truth about her own relationship, her favorite new sex toys (yes, we go there!), and her free Sex Life Bucket List tool that’s a game-changer for couples everywhere.
The principles of lifelong hot monogamy we talk about in this episode with Susan provide a roadmap for couples looking to maintain passion and intimacy in their relationships. By embracing a growth mindset, practicing radical honesty, nurturing each other, and continuously exploring new experiences, couples can create a vibrant and fulfilling sexual relationship that lasts a lifetime.
This one is fun, practical, and deeply liberating. If you want your sex life to keep getting hotter year after year, this conversation is full of tools and inspiration to get you there.
