Dwyane Wade, former Miami Heat legend, recently opened up about a topic many couples prefer not to disclose – keeping the spark alive in a busy household. In a candid discussion with Bob Metelus on his channel, Wade got real about what “dating” means to him, sharing what it’s really like trying to balance romance with the daily grind. Wade’s take on “home” life versus dating offers a refreshing look at modern relationships. So, what does Wade mean when he says there’s “not a lot of time for s**y time”?

While many would consider a date to be putting on fancy clothes, going out to dinner, and spending money on activities to create a special night, Wade thinks differently. For Wade, dating isn’t just about stepping out of the house; it’s about stepping into a different persona, shedding the roles of parent and partner to rekindle romance. “When it’s time to date and get out to date, it’s when it’s time for s**y time. That’s when I want to be somebody else,” said Wade. As the former NBA star now adds ‘Olympic commentator’ to his resume, the daily grind of household and parenting duties often leaves little room for romance, as he says, “It’s not a lot of time for s**y time”.

This honest admission highlights a common issue many couples face and could relate to Wade’s ongoing situation. For Wade, the key to keeping the romance alive lies in breaking away from the mundane. He believes that “dating” should act as an opportunity to step out of everyday roles and reconnect on a deeper level, as a way to take some time off and keep things new in the bedroom. “If you do something in the house, it’s probably going to be in the bed, and it’s going to be the same moves you’ve been using since ’96,” he joked, citing the importance of variety needed behind closed doors.
