So, you’ve been together for awhile. Maybe it’s 3 years and maybe it’s 30. Whatever the case, perhaps you’ve lost a little of that “spark” you once felt when you couldn’t keep your hands off of each other.
Do you look forward to coming home each night because you can’t wait to get home, see your partner, pets, and family?
Or, do you dread the weekend because you and your partner argue or just aren’t having fun anymore? Maybe life has gotten in the way. Or maybe you have what I call “SOS Syndrome” which stands for Same Old Sex. Well, same old sex is probably better than no sex at all, but still!
Most couples go through different phases throughout their relationship. What really matters is how’s your sex life now, how serious is your SOS and what can you do to really spice up your sex life?
Mild SOS Syndrome: The first stage of SOS Syndrome is characterized by couples who do have sex regularly, and it’s fairly good, but the routine has gotten a bit stale. The sex play lacks luster, and is repetitive, though mostly satisfying.
What to do: Do something new in the bedroom! Buy yourself some silky robes and burn some incense while you sensually touch each other. Buy some new music CDs to play for variety. Try a different sexual position. Be spontaneous and see what happens.
Moderate SOS Syndrome:
The next stage of SOS Syndrome is characterized by not going out much anymore on dates. Maybe once a day sex has become once per month sex, to your dismay. Maybe the romance has fizzled because you are slightly resentful of your partners annoying habits. What happens over time for couples is that the less time you spend with one another intimately.
What to do: Make it a habit to go on at least one date per week. Take turns planning your dates. Also, plan undisturbed time with your partner for sex dates. Enjoy yourselves! You deserve it.
Severe SOS Syndrome:
The next stage of SOS Syndrome is characterized by faint memories of the last time you made love. Was that last year? Where were you? Has your sex life been reduced to ABC (Anniversary, Birthday, Christmas/Chanukah?)
What to do: Desperate times call for desperate measures. Plan a night together immediately. Get a pet sitter, a babysitter, or a house sitter and get away. You need to plan a sex play date pronto! The rule of thumb is, the less you make love, the less you want to make love, because your sex drive can atrophy, as can your sex muscles!
Yes, relationships take effort on an ongoing basis. You have to let go of your resentments and start having fun together again. Remember what you find most attractive about one another and recreate those memories in the moment for a much more satisfying sex life. Most of all, don’t put sex on the back burner anymore- make it part of your daily, weekly life together and enjoy the fireworks!
