Intimacy is one of the many factors that maintain a happy relationship; but, sometimes couples can get into a sexual rut and the sizzle has all run out. To add a little oomph to a sexual tryst, try using all five senses – it will be an experience to remember, and have you crawling back to the bedroom time and time again.
While having great sex isn’t the only thing that keeps a relationship blooming, it does fall into the top ten list. We are all sexual beings, and crave the touch of the person we love from time to time – some more often than others. But after a few years of being in a relationship, intimacy can fall by the wayside because of other responsibilities that go along with companionship – children, careers, family activities, etc.
Or, maybe you have a very healthy sex life, but it involves the same thing over and over again. That doesn’t mean that the sexual relationship is boring; rather, it means that every monogamous connection can use a dose of the new and exciting from time to time.
A decreasing sex life or lackluster intimate relationship can be the current situation for many; but, it doesn’t have to be. With some effort on your part, you can draw in the reigns and heighten your sexual experience without trying anything that makes you uncomfortable. Just pay attention to your five senses.
The five senses explained.
From the day we are conceived until the day we die, we have amazing sensory organs working for us. They allow us to enjoy wonderful foods, hear remarkable sounds, see the beauty of life around us, feel our environment and smell enticing scents that change our attitude. Our senses also alert us to dangerous situations; so, they not only offer the gift of pleasure, but protect us as well.
Each of these five senses all work together to make a picture of our surroundings – and help us decide what to do next. They can alert us not to take a bite of that terrible dish sitting on our dinner plate, or make us want to jump in the cool, blue, pristine waters before our eyes. It can be easy to take them for granted in most situations since we have become so used to having them around; but take one away and we have to learn how to get by in the world without them. Not an easy task when you are used to relying on your senses to do the work for you.
So, rather than acting blasé about our sensory organs - we should pay attention to the wonderment of each sense. They really do their job, and without them we would be like Picasso without a canvas, Pavarotti without a voice or Emeril without a stove.
