Is sex necessary for a happy marriage?
As a marriage counselor, I see a lot of couples who come to me with sexual problems in their relationship. The stories that couples tell me about their sexual difficulties vary, but most of them go something like this: He wants more sex and she doesn’t. He says he needs sex to feel close and she doesn’t see why her snuggling, cuddling and stuff she does around the house doesn’t do it for him. She says she needs to feel close first to have sex and he doesn’t see why sex doesn’t help her to feel close. At the end of the day, she doesn’t see why sex is so…

Study Shows Better Communication Results In Better Sex!
Men report better sex lives when they communicate with their partners about intercourse, according to a new study. Researchers asked couples to keep sexual activity records and complete partner performance surveys after sex, and found that men in particular reported significant improvement in their partners’ sexual performances. “The mere fact that the couple discussed sexuality more in their relationship and that they had to keep a joint diary helped to enhance their sexual response,” said Michaela Bayerle-Edershe of the Medical University of Vienna, in a press release. The finding was essentially an accidental outcome. Bayerle-Edershe and colleagues set out to measure the effects of treating women who reported chronic lack of sexual desire with the…

7 Tips For Keeping Married Sex Awesome
Have you ever heard the “Bean Jar” theory of married sex? Before you get married, go out and buy a big glass jar and a big bag of beans. On your wedding night, during your honeymoon, and every time you have sex thereafter, put one of the beans in the jar. Keep doing this until you’ve been married for one year. Now, in your second year of marriage and in every subsequent year: each time that you and your spouse have sex, you are to remove one bean from the jar. The jar will never be empty in your lifetime. Aside from the dubious mathematics and outdated exclusion of sex-out-of-wedlock,…

5 Reasons You Should Have Sex With Your Husband Every Night
I was getting a manicure the first time I learned that not all wives want to, ahem, go for a roll in the hay with their husbands. I was 16 and had picked out orange nail polish (oh, sixteen). I had a book with me but it wasn’t long before I found another source of entertainment. In-between buffings and polishings, the two women next to me talked about how much their husbands wanted IT and how little they wanted to give IT. For a girl that had not even been asked out on a date this was a whole new world. I had a suspicion that their experience was more…

6 Tips That Will Help You Kiss Your Wife Like the First Time
Most men think kissing is overrated, and deem it as an appetizer before the main course. To them, it is something they have to do to get to the main part. This is not how women see kissing. Women do not get aroused in the way men do. Men can be compared to a switch that goes on and off. One second it’s off and then you see your wife dressed in sexy clothes and it’s on. This is not how arousal works for women. Women’s emotions are much more complex. The fact that a woman is feeling sexy or is getting aroused doesn’t mean it’s on. This is something…

Half Of This Country’s Married Couples Aren’t Having Sex
Valentine’s Day for a staggering number of couples in Japan will be even less steamy than a dry-air sauna. Per a new survey by the Japan Family Planning Association, nearly half of all married couples here haven’t had sex for over a month (and didn’t expect to be having any anytime soon), which is the group’s textbook definition of a “sexless marriage,” the Guardian reports. The survey, which was part of a broader questionnaire for 3,000 people ages 16 to 49, received responses back from 655 married subjects, whose answers indicated that 47.2% of them were in a marriage sans sex—a substantial difference from 31.9% in 2004, and a record number. How…

10 Sexy Movies To Help Spice Up Date Night
I still can’t bring myself to watch “Fifty Shades of Grey.” It’s not the kinky sex that bothers me, but the fact that we’re supposed to watch it for the kinky sex. That’s too much pressure for two tired parents on a date night in the family room. So, home with my husband and our Netflix account last week, we passed on Christian Grey and his mistress and searched instead for a movie that would stimulate the mind as well as the senses. 1.We ended up watching “Body Heat,” a summer steamer in which, at one point, William Hurt has to smash a glass door to get to a smoldering…

I Talked To 1400 Strangers About Their Sex Lives. Here’s What I Learned.
Jared matthew Weiss first published this on his Medium blog. When it comes to matters of the heart, I believe there are no questions and answers, only questions and ideas. So one year ago, I started Touchpoint, a town hall about sex and partnership, as a space for people of all gender identities, cultures, and sexual persuasions, to share their ideas and experiences in bed, in love, and in life. Photo from the first Touchpoint on April 7, 2016 On April 7, 2016, I hosted the first Touchpoint on the Lower East Side with ten friends. The question the group voted to discuss was, “How do I introduce BDSM into my…

I Married The First Person I had Sex With. Here’s What I Learned.
Duncan Riach wrote this article on his Medium blog. She stroked my leg under the table in the Student Union. I liked that, so I married her. I’m serious. This is what I’m like; I tend to go all-in immediately. I commit like crazy. At least this is what I used to be like. I’ve changed a lot since then. Soon we had sex, first in bed, and then in the shower. It was pretty good. Three months later, I proposed to her in bed in Paris. That was the same bed we spent most of our time in while in Paris. I proposed to her because I didn’t want…
