Group Banter Race to a million

I interrupt your regular programming with this sincere and uninvited sharing of a quote from an interview about sex and relationships:

What myth about sex and creating lasting sexual connections do you most want to dispel?
The easiest way to answer this question is just: Everything you were taught about how sex is supposed to work in long-term relationships is wrong. All of it.

First, people kinda think that if you “have to” talk about sex, there must be a problem. The reality is that couples who sustain a strong sexual connection talk about sex all the time. They talk about it the way they talk about all their shared pleasurable hobbies, like their sports team or favorite musicians. You don’t just talk about it while you watch the game or the performance, you plan for the game or the show, you talk about your favorite memories, you discuss your hopes for the future, you sing together, you play together.

Second, couples who sustain a strong sexual connection over the long term don’t always plan or schedule their sex . . . but they often do. People think great sex is just going to happen, you know, the way you just “naturally” and “spontaneously” throw a whole dinner party for ten.

Above all, couples who sustain a strong sexual connection recognize that they’ve been following somebody else’s rules. They decide to set aside other people’s opinions and really get to know what’s true for them, what’s true for their partners, and what’s true for this sexual connection in this season of their lives.
