ABSTRACT
For many couples, sex is a way to reconnect, have some fun together, and recharge for the daily demands of life. Sex can take many forms, but the important thing is that it is a shared and mutually enjoyable erotic experience. Couples who are able to maintain good sex over the years and decades are able to do so by communicating well with each other about both sexual and nonsexual matters. They are comfortable with their own and their partner’s sexual desires and fantasies and are able to negotiate the differences. They are flexible about what the sexual encounter will entail and they avoid performance pressure. Sex becomes more about the shared experience than about some measurable end point. Couples that connect well sexually tend to also be happier overall, so sex life is worth investing in. Sexual interest is like any other human trait that sits on a bell curve.
