What if the real secret to vitality, longevity, and happiness isn’t just about your workouts, your diet, or your sleep—but about your sex life?

In this sizzling episode of Vitality Lounge, host Micol Bok welcomes the unstoppable Susan Bratton, the “Intimacy Expert to Millions,” who pulls back the covers on how sexual wellness is the fourth factor in living your most vibrant life.

From her candid story of sexual dissatisfaction to teaching passionate lovemaking techniques, Susan delivers a powerful message: longevity isn’t just about a healthy body and mind—intimacy and orgasmic pleasure are essential for energy, happiness, and a long, deeply fulfilling life. You’ll learn:

• The critical role sex and intimacy play in vitality and how embracing pleasure can add years to your healthspan (and your happiness!).
• Shocking truths about supplement quality, why most nitric oxide boosters are junk, and why food-based, clean sexual vitality supplements matter for both men and women.
• Modern therapies and techniques—like GainsWave, nitric oxide, yoni massage, the “Heart Tongue Method,” and the Sex Life Bucket List—that restore sexual function and spice things up at every age.
• How couples can break out of the routine, communicate about their needs, and schedule sexy, playful “erotic playdates” that rekindle intimacy.
• Redefining male and female orgasm, plus why men and women both need variety, novelty, and specific touch techniques to keep passion alive.
• Breaking taboos: Susan shares why sexual education is so poor, how to talk about pleasure confidently, and what’s holding most people back from their best sex.

If you think sexual health is separate from your real health, prepare to have your mind (and maybe your bedroom) blown by this candid, compassionate, and empowering conversation.
