Let’s face it: once you say “I do” and especially when children enter the picture, your sexual relationship evolves significantly. In the days before kids, intimate encounters with my partner were often spontaneous and adventurous, involving playful items like whipped cream and juicy fruit. Now, the only snacks in our bed are likely crumbs from the Goldfish crackers our little ones munched on while glued to the television. The once-exciting fuzzy handcuffs and silk scarves have been relegated to the back of the closet, and I can’t even remember the last time I eagerly read about “the ten positions that will change your life” in a glossy magazine.
While it would be fantastic to maintain that exhilarating spontaneity, the reality is that real life requires planning. The term “Old Married Sex” often gets noted down in a calendar alongside mundane tasks like “take the dog to the vet” or “pick up the kids from soccer practice.” Balancing work commitments with parental duties often leaves little room for unplanned intimacy. Privacy becomes a rare commodity, with moments of passion needing to be timed precisely for when the kids are at Grandma’s house. Even attempts at spontaneity can be thwarted by interruptions like, “Mommy, what are you doing in there?” or cries for help from the bathroom.
Nevertheless, I find great joy in Old Married Sex. While it may differ from the passionate escapades of our youth, it comes with its own set of benefits. Here are four reasons to cherish this stage of intimacy:
1. Minimal Preparation
In the early days of a relationship, preparing for intimacy feels like gearing up for a grand event. You groom every inch of yourself, ensuring you look perfect and feel sexy. But with Old Married Sex, the need for extensive preparation diminishes significantly. Sure, you might put in extra effort for special occasions, but most days, you can embrace your natural self without worry. No need to fret over whether you’ve groomed every hair or taken a shower—it’s all about connecting, not impressing.
2. Familiarity Breeds Comfort
Sex in the early stages of a relationship is like trying out a complex new recipe; it can be hit or miss until you learn the nuances. With Old Married Sex, you’ve mastered what works for you and your partner. There’s no uncertainty—everything is familiar and reliable. Yes, you can still introduce new things now and then, but having a go-to routine that you both enjoy is incredibly reassuring.
3. Pressure is Off
As time passes, physical changes are inevitable. Whether it’s stretch marks from pregnancy or a few extra pounds gained, Old Married Sex brings with it a sense of acceptance. Your partner has seen it all and still finds you attractive. There’s no pressure to hide behind fancy lingerie or body-shaping garments. You can simply be yourselves, and that level of comfort is liberating.
4. Less Chance for Embarrassment
Picture this: you decide to try something new, like handcuffing your partner, only to accidentally drop the key in an unreachable spot. Or a little unexpected flatulence occurs during an intimate moment. These scenarios could lead to mortification—unless they happen during Old Married Sex. In such situations, you’re with someone who’s likely witnessed your most awkward moments and will find humor in it, creating memories you’ll laugh about for years.
So while Old Married Sex may not have the same fiery spark as earlier days, it is deserving of celebration. Couples often express a desire to reignite their passion, not realizing that the warmth of Old Married Sex is a testament to that spark. It’s a steady flame that shines brightly in the backdrop of life’s demands, especially when focusing on family and career. Perhaps in the future, when the kids have flown the nest, we’ll have the opportunity to fan that flame a bit more.
For now, let’s shift our perspective and appreciate Old Married Sex for what it is: comfortable, low-maintenance, and fulfilling even when life gets a little chaotic.
