Fitness entrepreneur Steph Claire Smith has revealed what her sex life looks like after taking part in a 30-day intimacy challenge with her husband.

She gave a glimpse behind the curtain of her private life with husband, Josh Miller, on her Listner podcast, Keep It Cleaner, which she hosts alongside Laura Henshaw.

Steph revealed she and her husband were taking part in the challenge in August, and this was the first major update since, with Laura prompting with the question: “(have) things become more intimate?”.

“It’s been two months, and general intimacy, like cuddles, have increased,” the mother-of-one said during the show.

“The number of times we’re having sex per week has only slightly increased, if not, it’s the same.”

Steph said increasing the amount of sex she and Josh had wasn’t the purpose of the challenge, but to create more intimate moments between them.

Laura said the development was wonderful, and congratulated Steph on taking part in the challenge.

The conversation then turned to statistics around how often people were having sex in various stages in life, the chat then turned to how many sexual partners people had.

“That number used to be used as a weapon against women specifically, so I think that it means nothing now, expect experience,” Laura said.

Steph then asked Laura what her number was, with the brunette getting flustered before making Steph promise to say hers as well.

“Mine’s two,” Laura said.

“Mine’s three,” Steph replied instantly, before the pair descended into giggles.

When Steph first announced she and Josh were taking part in the challenge, Laura was shocked, jokingly asking Steph if she was tired before asking to define intimacy for the challenge.

Steph, mother to one-year-old son Harvey, said she and Josh defined it by “further than kissing but doesn’t necessarily have to be sex”.

“We’re tired and there are dry spells but whenever we are intimate, it makes everything else better,” Steph said previously.

“As much as I hate to admit that, as there are times I just don’t want to do it, I know when I really think about it, when we are close in that way we are nicer to each other and more cuddly.”

Both Josh and Steph had seen it online but Josh was the one who suggested the couple take part.

The 28-year-old said the challenge wasn’t easy and the hardest part was finding the time.

“There are nights where it is a full-on task,” she said, adding that the couple would have to be smarter about scheduling time during the day before it gets too late at night.

“There have been days where we have had an argument and then we have to have sex,” she said. “But in the back of our minds, we really want to do this for each other so we work through it.”

Laura joked that now her partner will want to take part and she doesn’t want to.

“Maybe you’ll inspire some – but I’m not,” Laura said.

It’s not the first – and only – sex confession that has taken place on the podcast with Laura revealing she attempts to initiate sex with her husband, Dalton, when he is exhausted.

On the episode she was chatting with her husband, who was filling in for her co-host, when she revealed he has a higher libido than her and she did this so the relationship appeared balanced.

Dalton appeared stunned in silence for a moment before joking he now sees it as a “genuine challenge”.
