Best of 2017
It is days-hours-minutes-work before 2017 is over. You might as well spend it as well as possible, we thought here in the editorial office. That’s why we present you with a blockbuster of the year every day. The list of posts that you all sat down for was quite diverse, I can tell you that already. And today, especially for you:
This is what sex is like when you've been together for a long time
10 hard facts
Whether I wanted to write about sex. More specifically: about sex when you've been together for a long time. How it all is and whether it still happens. That was the question from our editor Adeline. I managed to dodge the topic a few times. In a cunning way. But now, now I could no longer avoid it. Or back out. So here they are. The hard facts about cohabitation sex. All from empirical research and the better fieldwork.
1. The quantity doesn’t necessarily decrease. The duration does.
2. You know each other, know what works. An orgasm is therefore guaranteed.
3. Foreplay and afterplay are not required. Romantic music, rose petals, and all other time-consuming tricks to enhance lovemaking can simply be left out.
4. You keep kissing. Some people wonder about that. Do you still kiss? Uh, yes.
5. It’s not a big deal if you smoothly ask who is actually cooking tonight three seconds after the deed.
6. You are forgiven if you fall asleep during romance one evening after a bit too much wine.
7. You develop favorite positions and sequences, but your cohabitation sex life (good for Scrabble) gets an enormous boost if you do it in a different spot/position/time.
8. He knows by now that he just shouldn’t start on certain things. Some dishes on the menu are just not really your favorites.
9. You can kiss in the morning without having to brush your teeth first. When you’ve been together for so long, you smell the same and he (or you) must have really made a mess the night before for you to experience it as a stench. Otherwise, you just give him a little push towards the bathroom. Do it nicely there.
10. In the case of children, the number of locations in your repertoire increases enormously. They give you no second of peace, so every moment you have, you seize. Kitchens, attics, bathrooms, the hallway; nothing is safe for you.
I wish you an extremely cozy weekend.
