Sex coach Ami Shikah has called for a shift in how couples approach intimacy, emphasizing the essence of connection and preparation beyond mere penetration.
Speaking on Prime Morning on Joy Prime with Asieduwaa Akomeah, Ami highlighted common misconceptions in marital intimacy and offered advice on creating more fulfilling experiences for couples.
“I know a lot of couples are getting it wrong when it comes to their sex lives. A lot of men think sex is just about going inside, but that’s not necessarily their fault—it’s a lack of comprehensive sex education,” she remarked.
She explained that focusing solely on penetration often leads to rushed encounters, neglecting the emotional and physical connection essential for a satisfying experience.
“For some women, sex is all about lying down and opening your legs, but that’s not how it should be. Sex is a journey, and there should be a beginning before you even get to penetration,” Ami stated.
Ami stressed the importance of ensuring both partners are mentally and physically prepared for intimacy, particularly highlighting the impact of unresolved tensions or lack of relaxation on women.
“If there’s unresolved tension or if she’s not mentally ready, the experience can become one-sided. Sometimes men think they’re entitled to sex just because they’re married, but intimacy is about more than that,” she noted.
