Robert "Rob" Westergaard and Jessica "Jess" More's relationship has gone through the wringer. In just a little time, they have managed to pick multiple fights so much so that their crew members were forced to brand them a "mismatched couple". But, that's all in the past now. The couple is ready to wipe their slate clean and all set to take the physical closeness in their relationship to the next level.

In this week's episode of 'Below Deck Mediterranean', we see them skipping the crew's night out so that they can spend some quiet time with each other. They even served themselves wine and ordered takeout food. The rest of the night went well. They had sex in the guest bedroom. But not before Jess admitted in her confessional that she hadn't had sex in two years. However, Robert had other plans, which didn't really see the light of the day because they had to get to work the next morning.

"I saw a documentary about tantric sex. So, the whole idea was like you release your energy out of your emotional love tank and then it goes through her. I have heard that they have sex three days straight," Rob shared during his green-room interview. 

Interestingly, the team was aware of their plans for the night and decided to have fun with the information next morning. Aesha Scott too indulged but Jess seemed a little weirded out by her interaction with Rob. In the preview too, we see Jess throwing a fit over why Aesha placed her hand on Rob's bottom while taking a group picture. Jess tells that if she were in Aesha's place, she would not have had such "inappropriate" conversations.

This isn't the first time that Jess had a problem with Rob chatting with Aesha or even trying to forge a friendship. She reacted fiercely to the whole situation and refused to talk to Rob for a couple of days. Jess even fell weak for a while, possibly at the thought of losing Rob. However, he has tried to look past her blow-ups a few times, but will he do the same this time as well? Only time will tell.
