ABSTRACT
Choosing your unique couple sexual style is not a one-time event. It takes most couples six months or longer to transition from the romantic love/ passionate sex/idealized phase to develop a mature, intimate couple sexual style. Rather than treating couple sexuality with benign neglect, the challenge is to refine and implement your couple sexual style so that it continues to enhance desire, pleasure, and satisfaction. Even after 10, 20, or even 50 years of a sexual relationship, you can’t treat sexuality with benign neglect. If sex is to continue to play an energizing 15-20% role in couple satisfaction, you need to devote emotional and physical energy so your couple sexual style remains vital and satisfying.
