Good, Healthy Sex

As I was posting my Gratitude Sunday experience, I heard my neighbors having sex. Not just a quickie, but the "haven't-seen-you-in-a-month" or "make-up" sex that rocks the universe. I would have mentioned something about it in yesterday's post, but didn’t want to label it Gratitude Sunday and Potty Talk… something about that just seems a little too naughty… Well, unless it is me having the great sex, then I guess I could be grateful for that. But I digress.

It was strange because I knew exactly what was happening, I just couldn’t identify exactly where it was coming from. Was it downstairs, or right next door? I couldn’t help myself but to solve the mystery. I never really considered myself a nosy neighbor, and certainly not a porn fiend, so I guess it shouldn’t really matter; I just had to know. In case your curiosity is nagging at you too, it was our next-door neighbors who happen to be an attractive couple about our age… maybe a little older, but with no kids.

Once I identified who was getting lucky, I actually said to myself out loud “Good for them!”

It makes me happy to know that two people who have been together for over 12 years can still passionately love each other and find such enjoyment and intimacy. Besides that, it IS good for them physiaclly. Dr. Oz says that healthy people have sex 200 times a year. That is 4 times / week! Wouldn’t THAT be nice?

Hum, great sex about every other day with no stress or exhaustion limitations, no time constraints or interruptions? Sounds like a great health plan to me! I just hope that when Ben and I get to our 12-year mark we can still experience that kind of rock-the-universe sex in our marriage. Hum, I think it is a goal worth shooting for. What do you think?

My hubby would love sex every other or day. Every day would be even better! We still have really hot amazing sex after being together 12 years. I unfortunately don't make it the priority that I should. I really should since I'm lucky to have a man who has as much if not more desire for me as he did 12 years ago.

I think I need to figure out how to get sex back into my life especially for the health benefits. I have the not-so-secret-anymore goal of wanting to live to 100 both mentally and physically healthy.

To be honest, I think we have had sex twice in the last year -- the first time was to conceive Owen and then once since he was born. Ugh!
