::.My partner and I rarely relax together before, during, or after sex...
If you rarely truly relax together, this can make sex feel like a mechanical, tense exercise and lead to various resentments. Thus, intimacy suffers.
The Solution
Hug! Partners can learn to keep themselves calm and comfortable by practicing a technique developed by Dr. Schnarch called "Hugging Till Relaxed." "Learning to make yourself feel relaxed and secure is a blessing in itself," says Dr. Schnarch. "Hugging till relaxed involves relaxing your body and slowing your mind and breathing, while standing on your own two feet with your arms around your partner." Try this twice a day for a month. Ideal for promoting relaxation, emotional intimacy, and connection, hugging till relaxed helps set the stage for more intimate, passionate sex.
