SEX IN RELATIONSHIPS

When might it be helpful for couples to schedule sex?

As a therapist, scheduling sex can be effective and beneficial for couples who have been in a long-term relationship and have less time for lovemaking. Partners with busy work schedules and other life issues that consume most of their time can also schedule sex when they notice a decrease in their intimate affairs.

Are there situations in which couples should avoid scheduling sex?

People with performance anxiety should keep off scheduling sex as it can trigger the condition and worsen their sexual experiences.

What if one person wants a schedule and the other person doesn’t?

I advise you to communicate with your partner the need and importance of scheduling sex. You can start by trying to schedule tasks or other activities in your relationship. Emphasize the need to be closer with them often, how you enjoy getting intimate with them, and the need to have sexual affairs consistently.

What’s the most important thing to keep in mind when trying to create a sex schedule

When scheduling sex, always remember that it’s a strategy for strengthening your relationship; hence you should create an effective timetable for both of you. Ensure that the scheduled time is on your free days and the time you have a high sex drive. List your expectations, the games to indulge in, and how frequent.
