Why Intimacy Fades in Relationships | Dr. Lori Davis on Connection, Desire & Emotional Closeness

What happens when the spark feels like it’s gone? Is intimacy only about sex, or is there something deeper that keeps relationships connected?In this episode of Infinite Dialogues with OtiJay, we sit down with Dr. Lori Davis, a board certified family nurse practitioner and AASECT-certified sex counselor, to explore the emotional, psychological, and relational dynamics behind intimacy, desire, and long-term connection.Together, we discuss why mismatched desire is more common than most people realize, how shame and communication influence relationships, and practical ways couples can reconnect with curiosity instead of blame.
