One particular video detailed the things you should 'never' do in the bedroom with your partner, with Marin captioning the clip: "After two decades in the sex therapy field and working with thousands of couples, there are certain things that I will not be doing in our relationship."
Marin began the video by explaining that she never lets her partner take the responsibility for initiating ‘simply because he’s the man'.
Research has found that men are more likely to initiate within a relationship, but Marin explained how both sides taking it in turns to take the lead can result in a more dynamic and even happy relationship.
Sometimes people aren't really in the mood to get in-between the sheets, and Maid revealed how she doesn't make her partner feel guilty if he's not feeling it.
Azizeh Rezaiyan, a fellow US-based therapist, had similar advice, saying as per the Mail: "It’s easy to read into things, assuming your partner is cheating, or not attracted to you, but that’s not a rabbit hole worth going into."

Marin went on to say she often speaks up about her desires even if there's the chance of upsetting her partner.
