These last few weeks, we have been asking our audience how often they use their phones during intimate moments, and the results were a little scary. We get it, your phone gets a lot of attention and breaking the cycle can be difficult. The average person taps, scrolls, or checks their screen at least 96 times daily.

Remember, touch is powerful and builds connection, sparks desire, and reminds our bodies they're worthy of pleasure, not just notifications. So, this month, we're challenging you to swap screen time for skin time with:
