Sometimes scheduling sex is telling your partner to be naked when you get home. The method might not work for everyone, she adds, and that's OK. Try it out and see how it feels. If it's not working, time to try something else. This is different from a sex date, in that it's pleasure-focused, not goal-oriented, and geared toward physical connection in its various forms.
This can involve anything from kissing, lying naked together, cuddling, showering, massaging, or sexual activity. This can be a lot more fun than it might sound.
Yes, there will be some tough and vulnerable conversations, but there's also often fun sexual homework and creative ideas to bring sexual energy back into the relationship.
Most importantly, bringing in a third party can help you troubleshoot through recurring blocks and clear any negative energy that might have settled around your sex life so that you two can get on the same page and start fresh. Want your passion for wellness to change the world?

Is having sex every day normal? About four years in, our sex life really dropped off, and we had to figure out how to adjust to having busy schedules and making more effort to have sex.
When I started to explore what was kind of going on in my mind, basically most of my fantasies were about being a man while having sex, which made it really difficult. This sexual revolution was a big source of empowerment that allowed me to come out as trans in other areas of my life, too. Make sure your needs are taken care of first!
Sometimes a bit more often, sometimes less. So things evolved slowly for us in terms of what we were comfortable with. With trying to manage both of us working full time and his swing overnight shifts and having two kids, I think we do pretty well.

We only engage in swinging activities when we are both at ease with our relationship and frequency, not as a way to seek pleasure elsewhere. Maybe once a month. My husband is older, and I think that has a lot to do with it. You hear their kids go to college and they have time together, and so many people split up. But I kind of get it now.
