Dr. Deb Laino Shares Expert Tips on Enhancing Love and Intimacy for Valentine’s Day 2025

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With Valentine’s Day approaching, sex and relationship therapist Dr. Deb Laino is offering expert advice on fostering deeper intimacy and appreciation between partners. Laino, a certified sex educator and life coach, emphasizes the importance of gratitude and connection in relationships, encouraging couples to use the holiday as an opportunity to explore new ways to strengthen their bond.

"Gratitude is such an important part of any relationship," says Laino. "It’s not just about words; it’s about showing your partner that you recognize and appreciate the connection you share. Valentine’s Day is a great chance to take a step further and make that gratitude tangible, with both simple gestures and exciting new experiences."

Laino encourages couples to elevate their intimacy, using the holiday as an opportunity to explore products that can enhance both connection and pleasure. “Try adding a new element to your connection,” suggests Laino. “Whether it’s sharing a new experience together or finding fresh ways to connect, these moments of exploration can take your relationship to the next level. It’s all about keeping things exciting and meaningful for both of you.”

One special exercise that couples can try is the 30-second eye gaze. “Sit in front of each other and hold hands. You can do this naked or with light clothes on. Gaze into each other’s eyes for 30 seconds,” Laino recommends. “In those 30 seconds, communicate something with your eyes to your partner. Afterward, have a discussion about what you were communicating. This exercise is a beautiful way to deepen intimacy and connection, as it allows couples to share a silent, powerful bond.”

Products like the Trojan^® Dual Pleasure Vibrating Wand for Couples, a vibrating wand for her paired with a ring for him, create two distinct sensations for an unforgettable experience. The Trojan^® Vibrating Ring for Couples is another great option, offering deep, pulsing pleasure for both partners and a USB-rechargeable design to keep the passion going all night long. If you’re looking for the closest connection possible, Trojan^® BareSkin Raw Condoms offer an ultra-thin experience that feels almost like nothing at all. Or, for those who like a bit of variety, the Trojan^® Pleasure Condom Variety Pack ensures that every moment feels new and exciting

While exploring new experiences, it’s essential to prioritize comfort and pleasure to ensure a truly enjoyable time. A water-based lubricant like Trojan™ H₂O Closer™ Lube can provide smooth hydration without irritation. If you prefer a silicone-based option, Replens^® Silky Smooth Personal Lubricant offers pleasure and comfort. While lubricants are great for immediate relief during sex, vaginal moisturizers provide long-term hydration. For those dealing with vaginal dryness, Replens^® Long-Lasting Vaginal Moisturizer can help restore moisture and ease discomfort, so you can feel comfortable and confident in every moment.

Incorporating intimacy into your Valentine’s Day celebrations is a powerful way to show your partner how much they mean to you. As Laino notes, “It’s all about showing affection and making your partner feel valued—not just in words, but through actions. Finding ways to connect on a deeper level will keep the passion alive and help nurture your relationship long after Valentine’s Day has passed.”
