Marriage is often seen as a turning point in intimacy, where s*x can become routine and predictable. In the first episode of The Durex Podcast, our host Abhay Deol chats with Vir Das and Kalki Koechlin to dive into the realities of sustaining passion and breaking monotony after you have tied the knot. Through candid conversations, they discuss the importance of emotional connection, experimenting in the bedroom, and overcoming the age old societal notion that great sex and marriage are mutually exclusive. The episode deals with the psychology of routine and how to keep the spark alive, in and out of bed, while offering practical advice to move from routine to extraordinary.
