I feel like this is one of the most unsexy topics, but I want to share it here because of how much it has changed my sex life with my partner. Between 3 children (two teenagers), running our own businesses and that comes with the day to day of being a human, it is so easy to fall in bed exhausted and start all over again. We have an ongoing sex date once a week so that we make sure that we have time in our schedule for this. We still have spontaneous sex outside of this, but having the once a week in our schedule means that when life gets away from us, when we are exhausted and tired, we know we are committed to showing up to our intimate life at least weekly. This has kept our relationship strong. It also has been an opportunity to bring novelty back in. Just like going to the gym, where I think about my workout in advance, I do this with my sex life too. I think in advance around what would be fun to try, what have we not done in awhile and what would bring more passion back in. I have actually found that scheduling sex has added so much passion, novelty and excitement back to my sex life. I wanted to share this as I know many are resistant to this idea, but I have found it to be incredibly hot and has really helped maintain the importance of intimate life with my partner.
