Discussion: Sexual intercourse must be seen as a romantic mutual bond of pleasure and not an obligation that must be fulfilled.

Couples who enjoy themselves together can turn sex into an experience of shared personal empowerment. Clothing, romance, games, sharing hidden fantasies, changing location for sex, and more. Couples who have sex for the sake of obligation have much less fun and miss out on the robust communication that sex has for energy recharge. Couples who do not enjoy sex (very common) also lose an essential interpersonal communication tool.
