Clinical Advisor, Intimacy
Gila Bronner, MPH, MSW, CST is the chief sex therapist at the Tel Aviv Medical Center and the Clinical Advisor for Intimacy at Bonds. She was the founder and director of the Sexual Health Service at Sheba, and she shapes how Bonds handles intimacy and closeness, from the way a question is worded to what a result tells you to try tonight.
Intimacy is so hard to talk about because it touches our most sensitive and vulnerable places. It feels safer to stay silent, hoping that our partner will understand what we want, what we miss. But real closeness begins when we dare to put our feelings into words.
Intimacy is the part of a relationship people are least likely to raise out loud, and the part most easily handled badly by software. One clumsily worded question is enough to make someone close the app and not come back.
That is where Gila's work sits. She shapes how Bonds handles intimacy and closeness, from the way a question is worded to what a result tells you to try tonight.
Bonds works the same way the tools do. You start on your own, you get an honest read on your own patterns, and your partner joins whenever you are ready, or never. Nothing here needs both of you to sign up.
These tools are educational, not diagnostic. They are designed to give you an honest read on a pattern and one concrete thing to try next.
They are not a clinical assessment, they do not diagnose anything, and they are not a substitute for therapy. If something in your relationship feels unsafe, or bigger than a quiz can hold, please talk to a qualified professional where you live.
See them all on the free relationship tools page. The science across Bonds' tools is overseen by Lior Kritzman, Ph.D, our Chief Scientific Officer.
A quiz gives you one honest read. Bonds turns it into a two minute daily habit, with an AI stand in for your partner so you can rehearse the hard conversations before you have them.
