What would it be like to have sex every day for a year? Yes, it sounds good, saucy fun for 365 days on the spin, but could you really handle it? Would you even want to?
This is what body image advocate and Huffpost blogger Brittany Gibbons tried out. Her logic was that she struggled with intimacy issues when it came to her body image. She consequently decided to have sex every day of the year to ‘see where she ended up’, and to help her with these problems.
OK, I know what many of you are thinking, and don’t worry, I am thinking the same thing. It sounds like a load of American self help nonsense (I love the Americans BTW, that isn’t meant as an insult) But whatever the reasons for her doing it, she certainly had some interesting things to say regarding the issue.
One major issue she found was that, with three young children (she seemingly didn’t have much of a ‘body image issue’ when she was creating three kids) she was extremely tired most of the time. This led to the whole thing, at the start looking like just part of her routine and a bit of a chore.
Like many things, if you feel forced to do it, it will become harder work than is intended. Isn’t the whole idea of sex that it is an expression of passion? It is hard to have that passion when you are scheduling it in.
Brittany did find that she started to enjoy it more, and that it was great because no matter how tired she was, she was making sure she was having time for just her and her husband. It also gave her a chance to be more open and honest with him regarding what she liked and didn’t like when it came to sexual contact.
Now none of this seems revolutionary, and I am not sure that we needed Mrs Gibbons to have sex for a whole year to give us this insight. But it does highlight how important communication in the bedroom really is. Many relationships suffer from a lack of intimacy, both mental and physical. If actually spending time with each other becomes part of a routine, then there are certainly worse routines you could have.
A woman, and a man for that matter will only feel really comfortable in bed when they are happy with their own bodies, so if this has helped Brittany then good on her. Though, once again, for many 365 days of sex may seem a little excessive, if all she was trying to work out that she wasn’t fat.
In the end, most people would get a little bored of the routine of having sex every day. They may rather save up and make the moment special. But that doesn’t mean that there are not those in a relationship who have a really high sex drive, and that may be higher than their partners. For many this can become an issue
For those guys who find their high sex drive a problem, there are always the Dublin escorts. They can certainly give you tips on how to make your partner feel more comfortable about themselves, and hopefully make them confident enough with their own bodies to increase their intimacy level.
Before anyone gets any good ideas, be wary of asking the woman in your life to have sex for a full year. It is likely she will say no, as she doesn’t have a blog to promote!
Our final message has to go to Brittany’s husband, Well played for keeping up, and congratulations on living every guys dream, whether it became tedious of not.
Even if it did, I doubt it would be safe for him to ever admit it!
Since then, he has specialised in articles on the battle for equal rights for sex workers, sexual health, as well as bringing the readers fun news from around the world. He also has a major interest in LGBT rights, and is an active campaigner in this field.
When he isn't fighting the good fight, he enjoys spending time with his girlfriend, and young daughter. He also enjoys reading and taking long walks.
