4. Minimize Pet Distractions

It might seem unusual, but focusing too much on your pet can lead to jealousy and distraction during intimate moments. Create a dedicated space where your pet isn’t present to help maintain your connection. “Given that attention is so crucial for sex, anything that disrupts it – like noticing the dog has jumped on to the bed – can really get in the way of our sexual response,” Gurney notes. This is particularly relevant for those with casual partners, who may not expect a pet to be part of the scene during intimate encounters.
