->Eroticism and Spontaneity
Couples need to understand that so much of our thoughts about s*x, desire and spontaneity comes from movies, Hollywood, magazines etc, p**n included. The idea of s*x and spontaneity as seen in movies is a real killer for both high and low desire people and let's face it, most, if not all of how we view s*x comes from movies etc. We were taught how s*x should look like from movies. These movies set us up for failure because they tell us that if s*x is not spontaneous, then it's not real. If my partner doesn't desire s*x the exact same time I desire it, it means they don't love and desire me. If you plan or schedule s*x, it's not s*xy, it's not romantic etc etc. This is a big one!!
Recognize that these thoughts are external. Most importantly, understand that those s*x scenes are planned and scheduled and that what you finally get to see took several tries to get it right. Movie s*x can be compared to vacation s*x. It's not real because it doesn't reflect the reality of life: work, kids, life s a whole.
Sometimes, if you don't prioritize and maybe even schedule it, it won't happen. Just like everything else that's important to you. You schedule everything else that's important. The reality is, life is very mundane, boring and scheduled for the most part. The idea of spontaneity is a big killer to a lower desire person's s*x drive, libido etc. It tells you that if you don't want it spontaneously, then you don't want it and you believe it. It's also very misleading to the higher desire person because, clearly, if my partner doesn't want s*x spontaneously, then they don't want me, they don't love me and therefore maybe I need to find someone else who does. Chances are, you won't. You are both putting weight on something that shouldn't be weighted. Communication, understanding and commitment will really help shed light on the issue and help you have a healthier s*x life that works for you and our partner.
