Looks aren't everything though, and getting to know someone can make them a lot more attractive (except if they're an idiot, then they become instantly ugly).

Still, our desire fluctuates throughout our lives, just keep it in mind and seek help / resources when you're not on the same page.

  • Emotional Connection: Sex isn't just about physical pleasure—it's about connecting on a deeper level. When you have that emotional bond and intimacy with your partner, it enhances the entire sexual experience. Believe me, it's a game-changer! Even if you're having casual sex, you can connect with the other person. We both know it makes a huge difference. Do you feel comfortable? Can you even laugh during sex? Make mistakes and feel safe?

When everyone is open to trying new things and exploring different sexual experiences within your comfort zones, the excitement doesn't fade. There will always be more things to explore and different ways to do the same activity. Read, get inspired, act on it and repeat!

  • Compatibility in Preferences: You and your partner have your own unique desires and preferences when it comes to sex. But here's the thing: when those preferences align and you're on the same page about what makes your hearts race and your toes curl, that's a recipe for satisfaction and mind-blowing pleasure.

It's all about creating an environment where both partners feel comfortable expressing their limits and giving and receiving consent. Boundaries and limits change with time, don't forget that and check in with your partner. Having a safe word is also important, especially if you engage in any BDSM.

Everyone needs to be willing to adapt and compromise when it comes to sexual preferences and needs. Finding that balance that caters to both partners' desires ensures a strong sexual connection.
