Back in the pre-kid days, your sex life may have been varied and nuanced – different locations, different positions, hey, maybe even with different people. But as most married parents know, sometimes it can be a struggle to find the time, energy or even desire for any type of sex with their partner at all.
There’s so much other stuff that can get in the way of sex once you have kids.
For some people, it's also one of the few times you’ll actually get to see your partner while making love.
So many of us do it with the lights off, under the covers, in the dark. Daytime sex beckons you to look at your partner and to be seen. I know – that thought can be scary, especially for underslept parents but believe me, your partner WANTS to look at you — and you’ll be surprised by how much of a turn-on it is to see each other in this new light (literally!).
Most of all, the hottest thing about having daytime sex with your partner is that you get to feel like you’re stealing time together. How often do you allow yourself to take a break during the day that’s purely about pleasure? Having an afternoon quickie (or a not-so-quick encounter) is a way of saying that the relationship matters to you.
So, the next time your spouse is home during the day (or the next time you can pay a visit to their office), make the most of that time and you might be surprised how it invigorates your relationship.
Remember, it only has to take as long as you want it to, but the effects of that afternoon delight can last into the coming days and weeks and help you start to see each other in a new, sexier light!
