You may feel you have a troubled sex life.  This would not be a surprise, since the vulnerability needed for sex rests on a foundation of good will, trust and positivity.  When your relationship struggles, your sex life struggles, too.

Perel, however, is on to something.  I remember at one point thinking that my hurts and grudges were getting in my way with sex.  I thought “I wonder what would happen if I dropped the hurts and simply decided to have some fun?”  So, I tried it and things improved.  I was lighter, and we both benefited.  You, too, might be able to improve your sex life by playing more – particularly if you both decide to be ‘light’ with each other and ‘replace your bad experiences with new, fun ones’ as Perel suggests.

In the long run, your relationship – and sex life – will only thrive if you are able to heal your hurts and move your relationship into a positive place.  But letting go enough to connect sexually may well help.

Could you and your partner start playing?  What might help that happen?
