Letting It All Hang Out

Getting comfortable in a relationship often means that you take less care to protect your partner from the less pleasing aspects of yourself - and I'm not just talking about your impatient, irritable qualities. You might feel less of a need to shave frequently or brush your teeth before making love. You might floss your teeth while watching TV with your partner, or pick the dirt out from under your toenails. You may leave the bathroom door open when you're peeing, and think nothing of farting in your partner's presence.

There's a good side to all that familiarity because it means you feel safe enough to let it all hang out. But it can have a negative impact on your sex life. When you take all the mystery away and become too sloppy, you definitely become a little less sexy not only in your lover's eyes, but maybe in your own, as well.

Even if you and your partner are comfortable with the good, the bad, and the ugly in each other, you might want to cut down on the latter two when you're wanting to set the stage for love.
