Fitness entrepreneur Steph Claire Smith has revealed she and her husband are completing a 30-day sex challenge where they must be intimate with each other every day for a month.
On her podcast KICPOD, the mum-of-one confessed to co-host Laura Henshaw that she was on day 13 of the challenge with her husband, Josh Miller, and listed the rules they’ve set.
Steph said she and Josh have to be intimate with each other beyond kissing every day and while it’s been ‘really hard’ and there are times she ‘just can’t be bothered’, the test has brought the pair closer together.

The mum-of-one told her podcast co-host Laura Henshaw she and Josh (right) were on day 13 of the challenge and have to be intimate with each other beyond kissing every day
‘The way we’ve defined it is further than kissing but doesn’t necessarily have to be all the way to sex, if you can read between the lines,’ she explained and added they decided to take on the challenge after Josh saw it online.
Laura was audibly shocked by the saucy news and asked Steph if she was tired.
The 28-year-old admitted daily sex can sometimes feel like a ‘full-on task’ and the couple, who have a one-year-old Harvey, find it difficult to keep up the challenge if they’ve had an argument.
‘There have been days where we have had an argument and then it’s like ‘oh now we have to have sex as well’,’ she said.
‘But in the back of our minds, we really want to do this for each other so you just work through it and it happens and then you’re in a really good mood before you go to bed.’

Steph said some days are easier than others and she sometimes ‘just can’t be bothered’.
‘There are some days, as there are without a challenge, where you genuinely really feel up to it naturally without it being a task so there have been times where it’s felt easier and it has felt like more of a habit but it’s still hard,’ she said.
She said her and Josh are typically intimate at the end of the day but they’re ‘trying to fix that’ and the challenge has had its benefits on their relationship.
‘When we are close and intimate like that everything is better we get along better, we’re more cuddly throughout the day and we’re nicer to each other,’ she said.
‘I’m interested to see if it gets easier or it gets harder and what comes from the rest of the challenge.’
