K-Y Wants You to Take the Pressure off Valentine's Day & Enjoy Great Sex Any Day of the Year

PARSIPPANY, N.J., Feb. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day: A night many couples dread. First, there's pressure to have the most romantic date night of the year followed by big "sexpectations" in the bedroom. No one stands a chance! K-Y, an RB brand, is taking a stand and creating a new movement: "You Don't Need a Reason," empowering couples to celebrate each other – and enjoy great sex – during the other 364 days.

"A healthy sex life starts with meaningful conversations outside of the bedroom," said Dr. Laura Berman, a relationship therapist and sex educator. "Couples shouldn't feel like they have to wait for a reason to show each other love and build intimacy – as so many do on cookie-cutter holidays like Valentine's Day. That is why I love the 'You Don't Need a Reason' movement from K-Y, it stands for the same things I do – being spontaneous and taking advantage of the 'just because' moments – because, why not?"

Knowing that sex is a huge piece of the relationship puzzle, but not the only important factor, K-Y has collaborated with Punchbowl, the gold standard in online invitations and digital greeting cards, to inspire couples to connect throughout the year – on any day but Valentine's Day. Together, they will offer couples the opportunity to show each other love outside of the "special occasion" box via playful and sentimental digital greeting cards – free and available through February 2018. The curated collection of custom digital cards for couples – available here – are filled with tongue-in-cheek humor to keep the spark alive, no matter the calendar date.

"At K-Y, the best-selling¹ and #1 doctor recommended brand of personal lubricant², our mission isn't just to encourage couples to have more sex – it's to help build more connected relationships," said Elyse Altabet, sexual wellbeing senior brand manager, RB. "K-Y offers a range of products to enhance intimacy – tools that help create elevated, pleasurable and satisfying sexual experiences with your partner, including K-Y® Yours + Mine® Couples Lubricants which provides a unique sensation for both him and her, and when combined creates a totally new, unexpected experience."

K-Y is a brand leader in sexual well-being and is committed to strengthening relationships between couples through improved emotional and sexual intimacy. With over 100 years of experience, K-Y provides products for intimate and pleasurable experiences.
