Denver Post lifestyle reporter Doug Brown and his wife, Annie, were featured on NBC’s "Today Show" this morning discussing a book about their sex lives.
Doug Brown wrote the book after Annie suggested that they have sex every day for 100 days. She said that after 14 years together, their sex life had become stale.
"Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned on their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!)," details the journey.
"Immediately, I had second thoughts," Annie Brown told interviewer Ann Currie in this morning’s interview.
"When I would tell my girlfriends about it, immediately, their mouths would drop open and they’d ask, ‘Are you crazy?’ "
"You couldn’t do this for the rest of your life. … It was exhausting," said Doug Brown.
But he recommends couples push themselves at least once a week, regardless of fatigue.
Annie Brown said there were lasting benefits after the experiment was over.
"I think what we really learned is that we have to take care of each other more and pay attention to each other in a way that we hadn’t since the early days of our marriage," she said.
"It wasn’t just the sex, we were constantly hugging each other. And that has lived on. We touch more," said Doug Brown.
