(Edinburgh, UK / December 22, 2025) – Dr. Lori Beth Bisbey offers expert advice in Metro.co.uk’s informative feature, “11 Telltale Signs You’re Bad in Bed – and How to Get Better”, a practical guide to improving intimacy and connection.
In the article, the psychologist, accredited GSRD therapist and intimacy coach highlights how difficulty staying present during intimacy is ‘incredibly common’, and notes that losing focus can significantly diminish shared erotic experience, adding that “great sex requires all parties to be present, connected and focused on each other and what they are doing.”
Bisbey recommends strengthening attention through sensory grounding, suggesting that individuals choose a specific sensation such as a sound or visual detail and continually return focus to that anchor whenever the mind drifts. This practice supports deeper engagement, responsiveness and mutual awareness.
The article also includes additional relationship and sexual wellness professionals offering guidance on communication breakdowns, emotional distance, inconsistent initiation and other patterns that can influence satisfaction in long-term partnerships.
