ABSTRACT

Can you maintain eroticism in an ongoing marriage or life partnership? Not only can you do so, but maintaining an erotic marriage is also in your best interest personally and relationally. Maintaining intimacy and nondemand pleasuring is crucial; in addition, eroticism is integral to sexual satisfaction and relapse prevention. It is not technique alone—or even primarily—that allows your relationship to be erotic. Eroticism is enhanced by spontaneity, playfulness, experimentation, and above all awareness of feelings and openness to creative expression.

Seeing yourselves as an erotic couple and enjoying erotic flow and orgasm have an integral role in maintaining a sexually vital relationship. Creative sexuality and special turn-ons ignite couple sexuality. Lustful and erotic scenarios complement intimacy and pleasuring. Eroticism is integral to the desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction mantra.
