Not Having Enough Sex? Don't Skip Ahead

I don't know about the whole "sexless marriage" construct which seems a popular explanation of why couples aren't ... doing "it," but whether or not you are about to celebrate your Golden Anniversary, newly betrothed or single and ready to mingle, it seems that a whole lot of people these days aren't having a whole lot of sex.

According to this piece in Health magazine, women today have less time for sex than women in the 1950s — and they had perfectly coiffed and curled hair, with a tray of perfectly stirred or shaken martinis to be offered at the end of a long day. How could they have found that extra time??

But the thing to remember before you go to the dark place of your emotions: If you are too busy to get busy, you're really not alone. There's a laundry list of reasons why your spark may have fizzled out like an expired flashlight battery, so you might feel better just even looking at those, for starts.  Maybe even try one or two of the "Sex Rx" suggestions and see what happens.

Or don't. It's really up to you. If you're fine with a cold snap, embrace that fact, but maybe explain to your partner what you're feeling so they don't feel iced out.

If you think your thighs are too fat, well, feeling sexy starts in your brain, not in the thighs, silly. So maybe get that part worked out before automatically assuming you just need more work-outs.
