    The 20 Million View Debate

    Julie and David Bulitt never expected a simple shower video to rack up over 20 million views — but it did, and the comments it unleashed revealed something far more profound than they anticipated. In this solo episode, Julie and David break down the three major waves of reaction to their viral Instagram and TikTok reel: the critics who found it uncomfortable, the couples who were inspired and saw themselves in it, and — most strikingly — the flood of men quietly confessing they've given up on intimacy in their marriages. Julie and David get personal about what it means to feel unseen in a long-term relationship, why staying intentional about attraction and appreciation matters at every age, and why one anonymous comment from a man in a sexless marriage stopped them both in their tracks. 📱 Watch the viral shower reel: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVV08f1AL0q/ 🌐 Website: thebulitts.com
