Question: 
 
What could we do to make our honeymoon a more special time 
sexually? 
 
Answer: 
 
I get questions from young couples—older couples, too, at times—how 
can they enhance their honeymoon and how can they make it better 
sexually? 
 
I’ll give you a couple of bad examples. One of my clients once went to 
Mexico and drank the water, and they said that diarrhea and vomiting 
is just too much intimacy on a honeymoon. 
 
Another one said, “We were planning this intimate time together, and 
then we tried to do twelve countries in Europe in ten days,” and she 
said, “our tongues were hanging out.”  
 
So, one thing I would say is, plan in comfort. Plan in a lot of extra time 
just to talk and get to know each other and play.  
 
I think one of my friends was telling me that the wisest thing he did on 
his honeymoon time was he got a hotel right near the wedding 
reception, so they could go right there rather than drive clear to Miami 
to go on the cruise. 
 
So, I think there are a lot of creative ways—if couples would think it 
through more carefully, how they could plan their honeymoon to have 
that time of really getting to know each other unimpeded by, you

know, doing Europe in ten days, unimpeded by fatigue—just really to 
work it out. 
 
Because, listen, as some of you who have been recently married, you 
know just how tired you are. Part of the honeymoon is just truly a 
vacation. 
 
So, be creative. Really allow there to be that time to enjoy each other.
