Dear Yvonne, Economic studies show that since 1965, Americans have gained, not lost, leisure time-anywhere from 5 to 10 hours per week. So the excuse of not having enough time for sex isn't really valid. Is there a way any of us can get in the mood, even when you have no motivation? -No Name
Dear No Name, One of the best ways to have more sex is to actually have sex. This is because sex boosts testosterone in the body, which revs up our sex drive. People have lots of excuses, many which are quite valid, for not having sex, among them: Childrearing obligations, stress, time, fatigue, etc ... But at the end of the day, these excuses get abused.
People need to make lovemaking as much of a priority as anything else in their lives. They also have to be mindful of not taking their lover for granted. We need to continually woo and entice our lovers, especially in keeping things hot, desirable, and fueled. Passion can be maintained throughout a romance, no matter how little time you have. But people need to understand that this takes work.
