If you put too much force on your…

If you (almost) always have sex in missionary position, lights off, in the bed, you need to read this As the years go by over the course of a relationship, sex almost inevitable becomes routine. “Boring sex unfolds naturally in long-term relationships, because we all do what works,” says Marianne Brandon, Ph.D., author of Monogamy: The Untold Story. “Then we just keep repeating what works until it becomes a rut.” Although you can’t rewind the clock—or magically transform your partner into someone new—you can reclaim the sexual energy you once shared.
