Scheduled Sex: Can This Approach Positively Impact Relationships

As time goes by, the initial magic of mutual attraction in relationships tends to fade. Experts emphasize that couples who were initially inseparable may face a decrease in libido and limited time for intimacy. This is where Dr. Rena Malik, a physician and sex educator, offers a solution: schedule time for lovemaking in the calendar.

It may seem less passionate and spontaneous, but it turns out that many couples of all ages already employ this method. In their youth, they often planned their encounters, which created anticipation. For instance, "on Friday, there will be a date, and perhaps some intimacy," as Kelly Kasperson, a certified urologist and author of the "Sexual Education for Adults" program, suggests. This anticipation didn't impose any pressure but, on the contrary, added a sense of excitement, which can have a positive impact on intimate relationships.

The myth of constant readiness for sex is not limited to youth. Adults often feel pressure in this regard due to their busy lives. However, by returning to planning and setting specific times, couples can secure "protected" time for intimacy. Experts compare this to workouts – we can exercise whenever we want, but we often don't. Planning provides structure and increases the likelihood of task completion.

It's worth noting that such an approach can be especially appealing to women. Anticipation and creating a special atmosphere can emphasize the importance of intimate moments in relationships, even if spontaneity is less common among adults. According to experts, this requires a certain effort, but in the end, it can bring greater satisfaction and harmony in relationships.
