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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

"Just Do It: How One Couple Turned Off the TV and Turned on their Sex Lives for 101 Days (No Excuses!)," details the journey.<\/p>\n

"Immediately, I had second thoughts," Annie Brown told interviewer Ann Currie in this morning’s interview.<\/p>\n

"When I would tell my girlfriends about it, immediately, their mouths would drop open and they’d ask, ‘Are you crazy?’ "<\/p>\n

"You couldn’t do this for the rest of your life. … It was exhausting," said Doug Brown.<\/span><\/p>\n

But he recommends couples push themselves at least once a week, regardless of fatigue.<\/p>\n

Annie Brown said there were lasting benefits after the experiment was over.<\/p>\n

"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.<\/p>\n

"It wasn’t just the sex, we were constantly hugging each other. And that has lived on. We touch more," said Doug Brown.<\/p>\n
