4 Sex Therapy Exercises to Deepen Intimacy
In the rush of daily life, intimacy can start to feel routine or pressured, pulling couples further into their heads and away from their bodies. At Kitchen Table Psychotherapy, we view intimacy as a lived, somatic experience—one built through presence, curiosity, and nervous system safety. Sex therapy exercises like sensate focus, shared fantasy exploration, physical attunement, and creating a “sex menu” help couples reduce performance anxiety and reconnect in ways that feel authentic and sustainable. These practices invite partners to slow down, tune in, and rediscover pleasure as a shared experience rather than a task to complete.
