What's your secret in your relationship?

I woke pretty early today as the technician came over to install the cable for my new internet connection. While waiting for technician in getting the internet connected, I was having my daily breakfast meal, a bowl of milk filled with crisp malty flakes and juicy sultanas at the kitchen alone. There are stacks of Marie Claire magazines that have not been moved since I came,and I took one of those and read it. As I flipped through the page, I came across this interesting article about "Is this the recipe for romantic bliss?"

Immediately, I stopped munching the flakes inside my mouth and started reading it. Apparently, 3 couples were asked to road-test their theories for a month to see if could unlock the secret to relationship success. In fact, I was aroused by this theory, "We had sex every day". Hmmm don't you think so?

The challenge: To have sex every day.
She says : "We've always had fantastic sexual chemistry, but while we used to have sex up to three or four times a day when we first me, that has dropped to about three times a week.This challenge should add some spices to our sex life."
He says: "Bring it on"

WEEK 1 - "We woke up on the first morning of the challenge feeling full of antipation," says S. "That evening when R went to bed early, I followed him, which I wouldn't normally do. I also dressed up in his favourite lingerie,a sexy aqua set.We were both looking forward to it, and the sex was sensational.But I'm not the only one making an effort; R's been very romantic and,one night,he even lit candles and places them around the bath.This,I stress,is not standard practice, and it wil be very interesting to see if we can keep it up for 30 days.

WEEK 2 - "Early in the week, I decided to surprise R by meeting him at home at lunchtime for a midday sex session. I'd been waiting for an hour in skimpy lingerie,only for him to call to say that he was going grocery shopping! That night,we had half-hearted sex to make up for it.By the end of the week,the novelty of daily sex was starting to wear off and neither of us was making much of an effort. It's not much fun when it's contrived and,at times,hacing sex almost feels like it's chore.Shopping:Check. Washing up:Check. Laundry:Check. Sex: Check!

WEEK 3 - "To ensure our daily sessions don't get into too predictable,we've started experimenting with different positions.Usually, we just stick to missionary or me on top,but this week we've had lots more oral sex and even 69ers,which R loved,but I was ambivalent about. I thought that after 3 weeks of daily sex,we'd feel closer to each other,but I haven't felt a huge shift in our intimacy.But I'm noticeably more relaxed,and I feel as though we're having more fun with each other-both in and out of the bedroom."

WEEK 4 - "Having sex at the same time,every time -'hello,9pm' - was getting a bit boring,so we put on some porn one afternoon to liven things up.Then, the DVD got stuck after about five minutes on a very,um,interesting image,which kind of killed at the moment! But I was still aroused the next morning,so I initiated sex,much to R's delight, and it was slow,intimate and sexy. Another session kicked off after a night than a pub,when we had sex in the kitchen. It's something he's wasted to do for a while, so we tick that one off the list now, too! But I think we forgot to close the blinds in the lounge. Our elderly neighbour acted very strangely and seemed to be having trouble looking us in the eye when we collected our newspapers on Sunday morning!"

Her verdict : "Occasionally, we've struggled to feel motivated to have sex every day, but once we start,it's usually great. Plus, doing it every day has meant R doesn't have to harass me for sex (as sometimes does) because he knows he's definitely getting it! I also feel we're more in sync; we're going to bed at the same time more often and even showering and bathing together more"

His verdict: "The music and candles have really spiced things up, and I feel S has been making more of an effort with sexy lingerie and shaving her legs more often. She's been very adventurious,too, wanting to try new positions and locations, which is great. But, ultimately, having more sex doesn't make me love her more - we have a great relationship and ,after 10 years, there's more to it than just sex."

Most unmarried people who have sex with another person do so because they regard sexual activity as a natural progression in their affection for each other.
