Key TakeawaysIntimacy is the “fourth pillar” of performance, alongside sleep, nutrition, and exercise.
Pleasure boosts creativity, lowers stress, balances hormones, and enhances communication skills.
Solo intimacy can be as powerful as partnered intimacy for confidence, brain health, and emotional balance.
Learning bedroom communication skills builds courage for difficult conversations in business and life.
Intimacy and pleasure are learned skills that improve over time with intention and practice.
Scheduling routine intimacy often fails; instead, “erotic playdates” bring novelty, variety, and excitement.
Susan offers a free resource, the Sex Life Bucket List, with 48 ideas to reignite connection and play.
Pleasure is not indulgence—it is a performance enhancer that strengthens resilience, focus, and clarity.
