“29 Days to Great Sex” Blog Series by Sheila Wray Gregoire

 

Today author Sheila Wray Gregoire launched her “29 Days to Great Sex” blog series. Over the next 28 days, Sheila will blog a new tip each day that will help married couples “make sex stupendous.”

Sheila kicked off the series with her post, “Day 1: The Act of Marriage.” Here’s an excerpt:

Sex is the acting out of everything that marriage is. We become vulnerable with one another. We become naked with one another completely — and that means real intimacy, not just physical intimacy. We cherish each other. We protect each other. But we also have a ton of fun with each other! …

[One problem] is that when we do finally get married and commit to someone, we almost stop having sex. Or at least we have it rather infrequently. In surveys I took for my book, The Good Girl’s Guide to Great Sex, I found that 40% of couples made love less than once a week. We’re just not connecting that often.

So the “act of marriage,” that act that can be so wonderful, and so fun, and so significant, often isn’t even happening.


Or maybe for you it is happening, but it just doesn’t feel that great. You can’t figure out what all the fuss is about, and you’re worried that it was created for everyone but you…
