New York, NY…….In response to recent research that shows that many long term couples are not happy with the frequency of sex (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21400335), Dr. Bonnie explains the correlation between long-term relationships and less sex.
“The amount of sex a couple has is the litmus test to how much satisfaction and effort they are putting into their relationship. The survey published in the journal of Sex and Marital Therapy states that 54 percent of men and 42 percent of women reported unhappiness with the frequency of sex. It is clear that the pattern of how often couples copulate is a direct reflection on the health of their relationship. In long- term marriages it is easy to become lax in effort, imagination and ingenuity. For a healthy sex life, couples must make sex a priority, with all of the romance and effort they put into it when they first got together,” says Dr. Bonnie
I have a formula for how to put the sizzle back in relationships which will increase a couples desire for more sex,” responds Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil, PhD. In her NY Times Reader’s Choice Winner for best dating book 2010, Make Up Don’t Break Up, Dr. Bonnie offers suggestions for how to make more love. “Don’t forget to date,” Dr. Bonnie advises.
Make Up Don’t Break Up is chock full of innovative ways couples can be playful, respectful, intimate, and loving. “Fantasy Friday’s” is an example outlined in the book showing couples taking turns surprising their mate with a fantasy date. “Using imagination, and preparing in advance for romance goes a long way towards increased heat in the bedroom,” Dr. Bonnie explains.
The survey also revealed that a third of the women interviewed complained that they were having more sex than they wanted. “Men may want more sex, but women want quality explains Dr. Bonnie, adding that romance adds the emotional intimacy women crave. “Send notes, text romantic thoughts, and let your partner know that you are thinking of her the entire day, not just the moment you hit the sheets.”
