We Did It!

Since December 31st, we have had sex every day but one.  So technically we had a 32-day sex challenge?  Or something.  On several days we had sex more than once.  Our record was 3 times, which is still far off from our early dating record of 6 (or was it 7?) but perfectly awesome for us.

Frankly, I don't know why we didn't do this sooner.  Our plans were to continue the sex challenge for the next two weeks, but The Boy just got finished with a particularly low-sleep set of work days and was pretty exhausted.  He was up for it, but I told him I'd prefer a serious ravishing tomorrow versus a perfunctory quickie tonight, but I wasn't adverse to the quickie tonight, either.  (A few days off my period and horny as hell, like usual.)  It's kind of weird, our first night without sex in a month.  I got so accustomed to it, even if I wasn't in the mood, that it feels really strange to be "free" of that "obligation".  I kind of miss it.  Do you guys think he'd be angry if I woke him up for it?

In all seriousness, this is something every couple should do. In addition to giving me a much greater understanding of my own emotional and sexual responsiveness with regards to my hormonal cycle, it also just opened up avenues of communication I hadn't realized we needed.  We're currently ongoingly writing erotica for each other (which I may attempt to monetize via KindlePorn because why  not?), he's way more clear on what I want and don't want sexually and I've been made privy to a bunch of important kinks I didn't know about but we've since been having a lot of fun indulging.

I'm not gonna say the 30 day sex challenge was easy - it wasn't.  It ended up being a sort of self-directed relationship therapy. There was one fight, but it wasn't a particularly bad one, and it ended up with us understanding each other way better.  There were a few tears, on my part but at the end I felt better understood and a lot of fears I'd had about being judged were rendered moot.

And yeah, while some of the sex was perfunctory, even the boring sex was fun, and the amount of hot sex was really, really, really fun.  And we're learning to sext, just like the young kids do!

Going forward, we've decided to keep the momentum by having a "sex week" in which we have sex every day during that week (which will coincide with my ovulation time - two birds, one stone, am I right?)  But I really do hope that we can keep this momentum and fun going for a while, because I'm not ready to let it go yet.
