Quickies Spice Up Sex Life

Thursday July 9, 2009
Married people -- even newlyweds who are supposed to be in the honeymoon phase -- are always complaining that there isn't enough time for sex. But sex doesn't always have to take a long time -- and it should never feel like a chore. Those spontaneous love making sessions -- when your husband embraces you while you're loading the washing machine, for instance -- can be passionate and satisfying, even if you never turned on any candles or even fully undressed. You'll feel just as close to your partner as you do when you spend lots of time on foreplay and romance. It is a great way to perk up your sex life because it's something different and the speed makes it feel a little naughty. Plus, you'll feel a surge of energy, and a quickie is just plain fun even if it's over fast.

Variety is the spice of life, and especially your sex life. Making sex unexpected and fun is half the battle once you settle into the routine of daily life. So how do you make sex unexpected but still make sure you make time for it?

With Intimate Surprises, each month brings a “surprise” in the mail – elegantly packaged items designed for couples to experience together. Each month’s “theme” encourages fun and exploration with things for him and her.

What a great comment!
For us the quickies are the best.
We started reading a book called “Love and Pornography” by Victoria Prater and Garry Prater. Ever since we read and finished the book our sex life is now what you would call in one word…AMAZING… and yes in capital letters!

I’m concerned that Chrissy’s comment misrepresents our book, Love and Pornography. We request that you remove that comment. Our book is not about using porn to improve your sex life as she implies.

Our book is a serious discussion of the impact or porn on our relationship and how we turned it into an opportunity for growth that changed our relationship in a deep and fulfilling way.

You can find more information at our website, GetHelpwithPorn.com. If you have an interest, we could provide a copy for your review.

Garry Potter, Thanks for your comment. We would not remove her comment for this sort of reason. But we’ll happily leave yours up on the site, too. We encourage you both to debate this here in the comments or in the Newlywed forums. You are welcome to chat with me about the book via e-mail. You can reach me at newlyweds.guide@about.com. All the best!
