The reality is we have to recognize, you know, and this is sort of evidence-based, that women take longer to get aroused.

You know, we sort of say about three times longer.
19:18
So, A, I think we as women or global owners have the opportunity to say, you know, not just expecting our partner to turn ourselves on, you know, that how do I – you know, get myself in the right headspace, I might do some erotic reading, I might, you know, take a shower and dress up in like, sort of my favorite lingerie, like, we have, it's important to realize we have ways of turning ourselves on and off, as much as our partner does.

And so owning that part and really creating opportunities to you know, sort of plant the seeds of eroticism in many ways.

And learning your partner's turn ons and realizing that over time that things might change.

You know, my expression is like, you know, most couples fall into scripted sex.
