So many percent of people schedule ‘having sex with partner’ in their agenda

The days are always full and in the evenings we are therefore tired. Exhausted. Worn out.

Had forty meetings. Raced like crazy to that gym for that hellish bootcamp class. Called my girlfriend. Called my mother. Sent flowers to my sister. Did the groceries. Cooked dinner, showered, took off my makeup… The heavens be praised: finally flat. Don’t think we have any desire for a romp then. Not a hair on us...

About 35 percent of people go about twice a week, but also 10 percent don’t even manage once a month. The rest swims somewhere in between. There are couples who do it dutifully every day. Who do it twice a day. Who do it once every six months. Or only at Christmas and on a birthday. What works for everyone is different. And so agenda sex is a real thing. Because we are getting busier and busier, it is inevitable; we shamelessly put having sex with our partner on the calendar, under: ‘take out the green bin’ and ‘get moist toilet paper’. Just a quickie. Because yes, that has to happen too. And if we don’t make time for it, that week is packed.

Research shows that at least 56% of people sometimes schedule sex with their partner. Gone is the romance or just a smart move? In times like these, it is becoming increasingly normal to write it down, preferably with time and place included. Why do so many people in a serious relationship do this? Not just because there is a desire for children. The ultimate reason is: this way it actually happens. And sometimes there is simply no other way. Whether it is loving or not, the fact remains that it works. Because even if you laugh about it together and say: ‘Oh darling, according to our schedules it’s exactly time for some bed fun’, the chance is still greater that it actually happens.

That’s why we all jot it down. No less than 51% of people who schedule sex do this to ensure it actually happens. Literally. To keep the relationship good, to be sure they don’t forget it, otherwise it’s just waiting for ‘perfect moments’, when you are both rested, like on vacation. That there are no work-related worries hanging over your heads. That there is no stress, no period, and no other nonsense. But yes, how often do you have exactly this kind of ‘perfectly suitable moments’? Exactly. It’s the trick to ensure that sex also occurs in the daily grind of life. Hence the whole agenda-freeing.

So, do you care? Grab that lustful pen, get your guy and start writing. Because if it works, why not?
