BLOG: 8 Awesome Educators for “Keeping the Sex Dirty”

‍Easy & Automatic - NOT!

It’s interesting how couples often think a healthy, happy and hot sex life should just happen on it’s own. If it doesn’t, they often think something is wrong with them, their beloved or their relationship. The reality is that just like any other complex, deep, nuanced area of life, a great sex life takes something. Especially if you’ve been together a long time.

7 Year Itch

I’ve been with my husband for 15 years and the physical and emotional intimacy just keeps getting better and better. Now that did NOT happen on its own. Seven years into our marriage we talked about the cliche of the 7 Year Itch, (where after 7 years together things decline and people get an itch to end it or start to “stray”). We wanted to make sure THAT did not happen to us. We decided that if we were going to have an itch for anything, it was to have the best sex we’ve ever had.

New Levels of Lust

Our sex life was pretty healthy, happy and hot, yet we started to notice patterns and bad habits forming, with too much of our experience becoming routine. We were starting to lose some of our luster. We were finding new levels of love year after year so why not new levels of lust too? Shouldn’t we get BETTER at it after knowing each other all these years?

A 90 Day Game

We created a Game, (set a goal), to have the best sex we had ever had at least every 90 days. We’d get it on more often of course, but we were aiming for at least one Best-Ever-Sexy-Time every quarter. We did not want to look back on our early years of intimacy as the best it ever was between us. We wanted to lean into Loving Better and being better lovers, year after year.

Become Better Lovers

Now you can’t control a Best Ever. You can’t MAKE it happen. Yet you CAN create the conditions for it to emerge. IF you lean into Loving Better instead of assuming it should just happen on it’s own. You don’t have to become a sex ninja or a pro at some crazy position. What makes a difference is bringing your intention, attention and action to becoming better lovers. A little bit of energy, especially spread out over time, makes a big difference.

It’s not about loving perfectly, it is about Loving Better.

Make it a Habit

If you want to ensure that your sex-life keeps getting better and better, well then get more and more curious. Ask questions. Find new edges. Make it safe to explore and express.

Remember it is not about being a perfect lover or loving perfectly. It IS about Loving Better. Progress, not perfect is a helpful mantra.

Many couples go through life just hoping that these issues will suddenly resolve themselves and sex will become a fulfilling event. This is seldom the case. It won’t happen on it’s own but it will happen, IF you lean IN to Loving Better as a HABIT.

You don’t have to figure it out and certainly don’t need to “know what you’re doing”. Just stay open, engaged and in exploration about what is next for you and your beloved.

Do what inspires or intrigues you. It matters less what you do, but more that you do SOMETHING. Take a quiz, read a book, participate in a course... find YOUR path forward to the next level of passion and pleasure with your beloved.

Ask yourself “How can I love better by being a better lover?”, write down what comes up.
