Sex Dates

There's nothing wrong with scheduling sex - and with people's lives as busy as they are, I highly recommend it. Waiting for both partners to get in the mood at the same time is leaving too much to chance. Scheduled sex doesn't have to be passionless and unromantic. In fact, knowing that sex is on the agenda gives both of you time to plan and prepare for it.

So how do you prepare? You start out the day flirting. You send a suggestive email. You get the kids to bed a little earlier than usual. You take a shower or soak in a relaxing bath. You fantasize or read some erotica. You light some candles. Whatever helps you to tune into your sexuality and that of your partner is part of the preparation.

So what do you find more romantic - falling into bed exhausted only to learn that your partner is interested in more than sleep or planning ahead and having a chance to get primed for lovemaking?
