Sexual intimacy is a fantastic way to add spice our love life. However, anything for too long even if that includes action in between the sheets can get too mundane after a while. That’s when we need variety! The brain is the most imaginative and sexual organ in the body and it loves to be surprised. Many couples in long-term relationships experience that their sexual activity levels descend with each passing year. Many blame the kids while many others blame increased stress at work for their dormant sex lives.1
As a matter of fact, largely it’s due to a lack of combined interest and zest to have quality time together that leads to this issue. Many start fantasizing about spicing things up in the bedroom through BDSM, role play or sex toys but they feel inhibited from discussing with their significant other for fear of rejection.
Researchers have proven that making things interesting in a relationship is indeed crucial to its health and this includes activities like role playing.
