Married at First Sight star Karen Landry insists she's not looking to wait two years to be intimate with Miles Williams like what her husband had experienced in a prior relationship that didn't work out.

During Wednesday night's episode of Married at First Sight: Unfiltered, Karen watched back a Season 11 clip in which Viviana suggested Karen and Miles should take sexual intercourse off the table until "Decision Day" in order to relieve some of the pressure.
Viviana advised Karen and Miles to set "a sensual boundary" that would allow them to participate in fun and sexy activities they're both comfortable with.
On Unfiltered, host Jamie Otis, who starred on Season 1 of Married at First Sight, asked Karen to reveal her thoughts on Viviana's idea to take sex out of the equation until the end of the experiment.
"Do you think Miles is onboard with it?" Jamie asked.
"Miles says he's onboard and I do believe what he's saying," Karen replied.
"I still don't know 100 percent how I feel about it, but I think it's good for us to be able to have these conversations with each other and know, like, where our boundaries lie."
Miles had told Jamie on an episode of Unfiltered that aired last month that he once waited two years to have sex with a past girlfriend and they actually broke up before ever being intimate.
Jamie asked Karen if she was aware of that, Karen replied with a smile, "I do know about that!"
"I'm not trying to have that be me though," she added with a laugh. "Just to be clear, I'm not trying to wait two years!"

Karen was joined by her Married at First Sight co-stars Woody Randall and Henry Rodriguez on Wednesday night's episode of Unfiltered, and Woody was questioned on how he and wife Amani worked their way up to being intimate so quickly.
"I think it was just the conversations we had upfront. We just have open-ended conversations, and I think honestly speaking, our chemistry has bonded us and that's why our energy is that way," Woody shared.
Jamie pointed out there's no denying Woody and Amani have some serious chemistry.
Henry and his wife, Christina, on the other hand, were acting just like friends three weeks into the experiment. While the pair shared a couple sweet kisses on their wedding day, they apparently never kissed again.
"Henry, do you feel any pressure to get intimate with Christina?" Jamie asked.
"You know, I'm really taking it slow physically, mentally and everything else," Henry shared.
"I think sometimes in relationships, especially something like this, it can add stress or a level of stress and anxiety to the relationship. So I think there's other things I want to focus on before we get to that point."
When Jamie was matched with Doug Hehner on the first season of Married at First Sight, she admitted she didn't feel an attraction to Doug right off the bat and it took time for their chemistry to grow.

Once Jamie felt connected to Doug, she memorably kissed him during a date night out. The pair is now still married with two children.
"Let me just tell you, like, I was never there immediately either and there's nothing wrong with it," Jamie told Henry. "So don't let that type of pressure be all consuming in your relationship."
And on that note, Jamie asked Karen whether she was any closer to being intimate with Miles.
"I'd definitely say that we are on our way," Karen revealed, "but I also don't want to force it. I really want it to be natural."
Karen elaborated, "I don't want to feel like, 'Oh yeah, we're going there just because we're married.' I really want it to be that natural energy and chemistry that leads us to that."
"I couldn't agree more," Jamie noted.
Karen has been moving slowly in her relationship with Miles from the start, as Karen didn't even give her husband a kiss until they moved in together after their honeymoon.
While Miles once dated a girl whom he didn't sleep with for two years, Miles did admit on the September 9 broadcast of Unfiltered he's "used to moving a little bit faster" in relationships.

"[But] to be in a place where we are right now, like, I'm not stressing that," Miles said at the time in regards to his intimacy with Karen.
"It's all going to come in due time, and when it comes, it's going to be great."
Karen, however, stepped it up once Miles expressed his needs and desire for more intimacy, not necessarily sexual intercourse. She began kissing Miles more, expressing herself better, and giving him compliments.

Karen and Miles learned to bond through activities and asking each other questions through various exercises. They also appeared to become closer on their one-month anniversary, as shown in the latest episode.
Karen told the cameras she was glad she walked down the aisle to Miles and was beginning to feel really comfortable around her husband.
Married at First Sight's eleventh season currently airs on Wednesday nights at 8PM ET/PT on Lifetime and also stars Brett and Olivia as well as Bennet Kirschner and Amelia Fatsi.
