The SHE WordThe SHE Word - Women and keeping your sex life spicy (especially in long term relationships)Let’s be real for a second, keeping the sex spicy in a long term relationship is not a regular dinner time conversation, although maybe it should be. Within marriage and long term relationships, difficulties with sex, different interest levels, or a lack of physical intimacy are cited as common reasons for divorce, separation and break up, with satisfaction often declining over time. But sex in a long term relationship is important isn’t it? Well. Maybe it isn’t for everyone, and maybe it shouldn’t be. A recent study found that on average, long-term couples have sex...
