Busy schedule, stress, lack of time - does your sex life have to disappear because of it? NO.
Stress hormones destroy desire. If we are overwhelmed with worries, thoughts of what still needs to be done, or exhausted from all the daily responsibilities, lack of sleep and time, it is difficult to expect that we will have the energy to get closer romantically.
Why is sexuality so important? Why even bother?
Like everything in nature, our sexual desire also fluctuates. Sometimes there is more, sometimes less. Sometimes you are really too tired to think about sex, but if this happens often in your relationship, ask yourself - why? A satisfying sex life is very important in a relationship, as it gives the relationship a sense of intimacy, connection. Not only does it offer relaxation and pleasure, it also has a positive effect on your health! This is supposed to improve your mood, reduce headaches, blood pressure, improve sleep, skin, immune system, and reduce stress.
How to have more frequent sex?
Once you get used to a life without sex, it's very hard to find your way back. However, there are some tricks to bring intimacy back into your relationship.
1. Go to bed at a normal time
Do you need to clean the house, iron, cook, watch TV, check what's new on social media one last time before bed? Have you put sex on the low level of your priorities? If there's time, we will? Don't put it off until the end of the day, when you're completely exhausted and ready to go to sleep and have no energy left except for an excuse: "I'm tired.“ Let sex be your way of relaxation!
2. The ten minute rule
Even though you don't feel the need for sex, indulge in tenderness, kissing, hugging, touching - perhaps passion will awaken in you. It's not all about sex! If you are not tempted to have sex due to fatigue, you can try just foreplay, kissing, touching, teasing through clothes, intimate massage or mutual masturbation, just touch your body and observe each other. Accept the fact that not every physical contact ends in sex, and simply enjoy it.
3. Spice up the relationship
Are you tired of your sex life being boring? Talk about sexuality, reveal your likes and dislikes. All of this leads to better sex. Trust each other with your sexual fantasies. Explore what they actually enjoy, what they want to try. Erotic accessories? Sex in the car, on the kitchen counter, in the bathroom, in the hallway? Watch an erotic film together, play roles.
4. Be spontaneous
Opportunity to work as a thief. You don't have to have sex only in the evening or in the morning. Take advantage of the time when the child is sleeping or busy with his responsibilities. Surprise your partner and sometimes wake him up in the middle of the night with an erotic awakening. He will surely not be able to resist you! Spontaneous sex can be much more passionate than if you spend half the day preparing for it; simply indulge yourself.
5. Housework can be sexy
Divide the housework or do it together, you might want to have sex with your partner instead of falling under the covers from exhaustion. After two hours of ironing, you probably won't feel sexy unless you iron underneath without or... Be naughty, let your imagination run wild.
