508: Sex Gets Better With Effort: The Husband’s Intimacy Playbook with Laurie Handlers
Today’s guest is Laurie Handlers — Tantra educator, talk show host, and intimacy coach. She’s the author of Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy and leads programs through Butterfly Workshops, Inc. and the International School of Temple Arts.
In this ~40-minute episode, you’ll learn:
- Why long-term sex gets better only with intentional effort (after the honeymoon & kids).
- The starter “effort stack”: schedule date night, learn to dance, have the conversation.
- How to decode complaints into clear requests—without hurting feelings.
- The training mindset: treat intimacy as a skill (courses/coaching > guessing).
- The presence playbook: breathe together, watch her face, phones down.
- The 10/10 framework women name: Presence, Connection, Safety, Communication, Skill.
- A simple boundary script and the repair rule: “First to return to love wins.”

FRD is solving a huge problem for dads. Our culture has turned “Dad” into a joke. Go ahead, google Dad and you’ll find Dad Bod, Dad Jokes, Dad Weed, etc. Culturally, it’s a Homer Simpson mentality, and it’s BS.
Our community is built for solid men. Men with range. Those who are badass, and know there’s still more to learn, together.
Most guys find it hard to find “their crew.” Finding other committed men who are successful in life and want to put family first – these guys are rare. Is this you?
In FRD, hundreds of men from all over the world show up for each other, to share resources and raise the bar of fatherhood (our core values.)
If you’re reading this, you want to grow. Podcasts are great, but guys, when you’re ready to stop just listening to content and want to JOIN the conversations, the FRD brotherhood is ready for you.
