On The Roggin Report, Fred Roggin kicked off a candid conversation with viewers about an unexpected topic: sex—and more specifically, how not sleeping with your partner may actually improve your sex life.
According to a recent study, more than a third of couples admit to sleeping in separate rooms. The reasons vary—from snoring to simply sleeping better alone. But here’s the twist: those couples also reported greater satisfaction in the bedroom.
Fred broke it down with his signature humor: “You can lie to me, but you can’t lie to yourself. How’s your sex life?” His advice? If you want to spice things up, try not sharing a bed. Absence makes the heart—and other things—grow fonder.
Doug chimed in with a heartfelt counterpoint: “I don’t want to live in a separate bedroom from my wife. The highlight of my day is waking up at 2 or 3 a.m., seeing her face, and feeling like the luckiest man alive.”
Jamie added her own take with a laugh: “We’re very happy. He lives in fear—happily. But no, I don’t think couples should sleep apart. That’s not right.”
Fred wrapped it up by clarifying the deal-breaker: “If your sex life improves because someone else comes into your separate bedroom, that’s a problem.”
As always, the Roggin Report closed out the week with laughs, a little honesty, and a lot of heart. For more fun conversations like this, head over to NBCPalmSprings.com.
