I have to tell you...I get so frustrated that so many people buy into the myth that men have stronger sex drives than women do. They don’t; in fact a woman’s capacity for orgasm far exceeds that of men and that’s a proven fact.
One of the problems is that societal and personal taboos prevent too many women from fully embracing their innate sexuality. Sure, there are certain illnesses, medications and life stressors that can affect a woman’s sex drive…but they can just as easily affect a man’s.
I have been with my hubby since we were teenagers and will be celebrating our 23[SUP]rd[/SUP] wedding anniversary on September 1[SUP]st[/SUP] and we still continue to “bang like bunnies” every chance we get because we BOTH love sex – always have. According to some experts, I am considered a “high drive’ female but I think their assessment is bogus. I am simply a woman who understands her body and accepts her inner harlot with open arms. I know what pleases me sexually and openly share that knowledge with my husband and he does the same.
Yes, life happens and sometimes we cannot be intimate, but that doesn't mean the desire isn't there. We make each other a priority so when we can’t have sex, we don’t panic because we know it will happen at the next available time- sooner rather than later. We keep our sex lives interesting and communicate about it constantly. The suggestions I offered in my blog about
lust in marriage are incredibly helpful in maintaining our sexual relationship.
Here are some additional things my hubby does to keep the passion fires burning:
He takes care of himself – from his physique, to his intellect, even the way he chooses to dress gets me hot and bothered. That is a big turn on for me.
He always makes me feel important, sexy and desirable; sometimes through compliments, sometimes through touch, sometimes it’s a little gift (book, flowers, a red velvet cupcake) that have personal meaning to me, sometimes it is a unexpected text that lets me know he’s thinking about me or sometimes it’s just the way he stares at me at a party like I am the only woman in the room.
He keeps our sexual encounters new and exciting.
He makes me laugh and smile...often.
