Finding time for sex

Busy schedules can make it a challenge for both men and women to find time for sex. Most of our waking hours are consumed by driving to work, working, and taking care of children or elderly parents.

Most people feel like there is never enough time for sex. Feeling like there is never enough time for sex is a common source of frustration. If you find it difficult to make time for sex, consider the following tips:

Be spontaneous. If Grandma or the favorite aunt stops over and decides to take the kids out for an hour, lock the front door and rediscover the living room couch or the kitchen counter. While the kids are at school or day care, take your partner out to lunch or maybe back home, or to a hotel.

Create boundaries. If you live with extended family, find a way to create some real boundaries to solidify your time alone with your partner. Try hiring a babysitter one night every two weeks, and go out to a nice dinner or visit some of the spots you enjoyed when you first began dating. Try to make your 'date night' a day in the middle of the week so you'll beat the Friday night crowd and have more private time together.

Make physical intimacy a priority. Have sex first, not last. Make sure that sex isn't last on the night's to-do list. Instead of laundry, clean up the house, watch TV and have sex, it's laundry, sex, TV, and more sex.

Make the most out of your time together. Sometimes, it is difficult to get into the mood immediately after grandma comes over to pick up the kids. If you know that you'll have a little free time later, drop hints and seductively set the mood a little early. For example, send your partner a naughty text mail or email before grandma comes. This works well even with both partners are at home. Other ideas include: hold their hand while you are driving home or slowly help your partner undress.
