Sex
Ah, sex.
Yes, I had to talk about it sooner or later. I’m not getting into positions, toys, and porn, so thing should be decent for most readers. However, I’m not going to hide content. An under eighteen can read something behind a ‘read more’ tag just as easily as anyone else.
Sex can be a tricky thing because, as much as you might want to ignore it, it is a basic part of romantic relationships.
I’ll always remember what my childhood pastor told me about relationships:
There are three basic parts that need to be in balance in a relationship – the physical, the emotional, and the mental.
You can’t ignore it; the physical is part of it, too. Sex is part of a romantic relationship whether you like it or not.
A big problem with sex and relationships is when one partner doesn’t want to have sex while the other does. It’s a no win situation for the partner who wants but doesn’t get because the other option is to stray outside the relationship.
Not good for any relationship.
What is also bad for relationships is the twisted view people seem to have about sex today. Sex has been made into a naughty, dirty, sinful act, so it can be one of the hardest things to talk about even in romantic relationships.
This week I will be talking about both issues – the no win situation for the spouse in need as well as society’s view on sex (which I know is going to make me quite unpopular with some people). I’ll also share a few ideas and tips on how you can talk with your partner about sex and sexually related things.
Fun times ahead!
