According to a recent survey and article from Parade magazine, 48% of men don't have sex more often because their spouse isn't interested. Yet 51% of women responders say they aren't having enough sex! I'm guessing that the "48% of men" aren't married to the other "51% of women"!
Whether you fall in with the "non interested" or the "not enough", I'm reminded of what The Diaper Diaries said last year when she started her 1 Corinthians 7:5 Challenge aka "The Challenge":
A lot of women post-kids complain about losing interest in sex. … Ladies, God gave us sex as a gift to enjoy with our husbands. Don't believe me? How about a quick anatomy lesson? Women have something even men don't when it comes to sex. An organ devoted entirely to sexual pleasure (if I lost you, it rhymes with Delores). So why aren't we enjoying it more?
I strongly encourage you to read through "The Challenge" at The Diaper Diaries, it's just what the "non interested" and "not enough" among us need to kick start a new era of loving in our marriages!
But don't stop there! Alisa Bowman at Project Happily Ever After has some interesting suggestions for all of us:
- Lie on top of the sheets naked. Depending on the time of year and your level of privacy, open the window so you can feel a breeze on your skin. Close your eyes and relax (Don't do the closing your eyes part, however, if you are so sleep deprived that you'll end up falling asleep).
- Spice it up. Part of the turn-off of long-term monogamy stems from monotony-doing the same old sexual routine every single time. He kisses you here. Then you touch him there. Point A goes into slot B. Oh, so been there, done that. Try new locations. For instance, try out all of the rooms of your house. Then move to the backyard. Try new positions. Try new outfits.
There's more at Project Happily Ever After, be sure to check out the rest of her list!
Now that you've got all this stimulating information, go on and make sure that your husband doesn't fall in the 48% of men or you don't fall in the 51% of women!
