No Spice
Need to spice up the bedroom?
I just got through a very difficult time in my relationship with my boyfriend. And I wanted to share my experience with you.
Let me just start by saying, that relationships, no matter how wonderful, are also a lot of work. That is because men and women think differently, they prioritize needs differently and are turned on sexually in entirely different ways. Maintaining a healthy sexual relationship with your partner can ease the burden and the stress of the day to day. Keeping an active and healthy sex life is an important aspect of a relationship.
When Sex Leaves The Bedroom
When my boyfriend and I hit a rough patch, I went through the usual scenarios in my head. Maybe it’s because we’ve been too busy to really enjoy each others company, and both he and I have been so busy at work. He seems so distant and angry all the time. Could he be upset with me? His behavior is really putting me off and I really don’t want him to touch me at this point. So needless to say, our sex life has not been as active recently. We definitely needed to spice up the bedroom action.
The P Word
A few weeks later, my boyfriend and I are stumbling past each other, barely saying hello and goodbye with only hand gestures, a friend reached out to me to catch up. Sarah, had recently gone on a date with a new man. I was thrilled to have her tell me the juicy story about the new suitor. Anything at this point to distract me from my sexless relationship and my need to spice up the bedroom.
Sarah, my sweet friend was thrilled with her date, then something happened. On their date, the guy had mentioned he watches porn. Well that was the beginning of the end for my friend. She did not want to see him again. No second date. Done.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t watch porn either. But let’s face facts, all guys watch porn. I realized that this was definitely not a good deal breaker. Sarah thought otherwise, and that was certainly up to her.
A Spicy Thought
That evening, I thought a bit more about it. I remembered when I first saw my boyfriend checking out one of those sites of hot webcam girls I remember feeling butterflies in my stomach and feeling like I was supposed to feel some sort of anger and betrayal towards him and his act of watching strangers having sex, right in the middle of our living room! But he stopped what he was doing when I came in the room, and looked happy to see me. Honestly, I dismissed the concern over it at that point.
So back to my relationship and my reality. It was clear that one of us needs to spice things up and you know how it is ladies, we have to do everything.
And now, back to the Porn.
While it is really not my thing, though neither is the violence of football or UFC, by the way, but I do watch those to enjoy the time with my man. I wondered, can porn be a similar activity, but one that gets us both really revved up and excited? Maybe? Maybe not?
Before I tell you the rest of my story, here are some tips if you decide this is the spice you want to add into your relationship.
It doesn’t have to be your thing
First, know that it doesn’t have to be your thing. If it doesn’t get you that excited, that’s ok. Just know that your man likes it and it gets him excited, and pleasing your man does excite you.
It’s just fantasy
You do know that your man really doesn’t want you to be a porn star, don’t you? So seeing two girls with one guy perks up your man. Just know that he’s not necessarily thinking about bringing in some strangers to your bed.
If this spice is Infrequent, it will be more exciting
All guys watch porn. And probably too frequently. So be sure to make this a once in a blue moon, special spice that you selectively sprinkle on as the sugary, and supportive sweet girlfriend that you are. Make this the unique spice that gets the juices flowing for a fun trip to the bedroom.
Being open and receptive
Now, back to my story. So yes, I suggested we watch porn. And not just any porn. Something that he really liked, that he really wanted to show me. My boyfriend took that task seriously, and after careful research, within twenty minutes or so, he was ready to show me his porn favorite.
What did I think? Admittedly, it did get some of my juices flowing… But most importantly, it got his! And he showed me his appreciation for my willingness to try new things by taking care of my needs.
For my friend Sarah, porn was a dealbreaker. But it does not have to be for you. Make it your own experience and see if you can impress your man at the same time by taking his watching porn a bit more seriously. Maybe you’ll even learn a little more about what your guy likes or how to do something new. Just keep it fun and have a healthy and loving sex life with your partner.
