It will be what is called sex on a platoon. By the way, this is the main reason why Italian couples are so happy in marriages - passions and violent quarrels.

When a woman has sex in socks, she gets an orgasm 30% more often than without them.

Make time and space for sex.

To maintain passion, it is important to allocate not only time, but also a place: not everyone has a red room from a well-known film, and the space of an apartment associated with everyday life and routine is not the best place to create an erotic atmosphere. Think about how you, based on your financial capabilities, could solve this problem.

Just because he wants you less than you want him doesn't mean he loves you less.

Secrets of the male orgasm.

Men can't control their emotions when reaching orgasm During sex, 94% of men have a desire to do it again, but after an orgasm, this desire disappears. The amount of seminal fluid secretion depends on the mood. Restoring the body to the readiness of a new sexual intercourse takes an average of 18 minutes. The best time for a male orgasm is early in the morning.

A woman's sexual desires are related to her cycle.

Nature so ordered that a woman experiences the greatest sexual desire on the days of ovulation. Hormones and an increase in testosterone levels during this period are to blame, which cause a strong intimate attraction to a partner. The work of this sexual mechanism, of course, is not accidental: in this way, nature does its best to ensure that a woman becomes pregnant.

Be smart.

It's fair to say that we all have different levels of empathy. But even an attempt to understand your spouse, reciprocating love and understanding, plays a huge role in relationships. Be attentive to the little things and show compassion!

Do not criticize each other's parents.

Each of us has something to say about our parents, and even more so about the parents of a wife or husband. But don't give in to this temptation. Even if the husband himself complains about his parents, the rule continues to work. Do not give in to provocation, do not get involved and start scolding his mother or father along with him. Just say, "I understand you." Don't say yes, "yes, your mom is a really terrible woman!"

What happens to the feelings we bottle and hide?

As a rule, only intensify and find workarounds to manifest themselves. Envy is a strong feeling, it derives from our desires and opportunities, it is a passion, and there is a lot of energy behind it. Is it possible to turn this energy to your advantage? Or is an envious person doomed to suffer? Creative envy gives inspiration, motivation and even joy. Neurotic envy is a slightly different story. And then there is narcissistic, psychotic envy... there are many forms of its manifestation, each has their own.

Hope can strike you blind.

If there is even the slightest chance of hope somewhere on the horizon - one might find themselves in a state of worry and uncertainty. Their world is not as agile and capable of change. When one is preparing themselves to take the first heroic step into a new bright future, they face challenge to take these “domino” steps in the present.

Let yourself grow.

Some people find it hard to let themselves grow or even reach their true level. They want to stay small, or at least not very big. There're few people who dare to declare their real growth, let alone to admit the fact that they are above average. However, it's not so hard to be above average among people who don't want to grow at all. Growth is a responsibility. Growth is a right. Growth is your call. It's at everyone's discretion.

Balance in relationships.

Family relationships are everyday work. We need to hear each other and talk, and not make claims. It is also important to constantly throw firewood into the hearth. Life really dulls feelings, but if they are real and the fire is maintained, the routine will not kill them. And in general, all couples have family problems.

Submarine principle.

During a quarrel or conflict, imagine that you are on a submarine or on a spaceship. All hatches are tightly closed and it is impossible to open them, which means that there is no way to get out of the boat either. And the phones don't work either: there is no one to call and complain to. Therefore, you need to learn how to resolve any conflict or quarrel right now, without leaving your home and without attracting anyone from outside. The maximum that you have is the opportunity to go to the kitchen, calm down and think about how you can solve the situation now, what words to choose, how to agree, what steps to take. This is a very simple principle, it has already helped save more than one family.

Seek or grow.

Peace and joy are not to be found outside. Anything found outside makes you dependent on something that is not you. However, you can be inspired by something from the outside world and put it inside yourself like a sprout. You can reflect things that you like using your imagination. Peace and joy have to be cultivated within yourself. This approach is much more encouraging than others. It requires no one but you, and no time but now. You just have to plant sprouts inside and start taking care of them.

Do you love yourself unconditionally?

Accepting yourself when you succeed is not difficult. Accepting yourself when you fail is something everyone learns sooner or later. Accepting oneself amidst strong feelings is something that any book or even the most superficial psychological coaching can teach you. But do you know how to accept yourself as inactive, standing at ground zero? To do it when you are incomprehensible to yourself and others. Give yourself time to duck or digest what's going on? How easy is that for you? Aren’t you spending all your energy to avoid facing your inactive self?

Getting out of a codependent relationship.

A person who has stopped playing co-dependent games and raping him/herself, who has escaped from the abusive system in one way or another, is often considered from inside the system as a traitor who has failed, abandoned, left alone, chosen the easiest way. No one is saying she or he is right. However, often a person has no other way to start a better life, except going for a betrayal, which, together with the pain, carries its healing power.
