Today the New York Post reported that, after five years together, “the once-electric sex life of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has run so cold that the couple rarely slept in the same bedroom in the past year.”
Are you kidding? If these two specimens aren’t having sex after only five years, what hope is there for the rest of us? If Angelina and Brad have lost the spark in the boudoir, can any of us maintain an eternal flame?
Yes, we can. And we here at Sexy Slang are excited to tell you how you can spice up your sex life and not succumb to the Brangelina Blues.
First, the sad truth. Couples know that sex loses its urgency as time passes, and ABC’s American Sex Survey confirms it:
Among couples who’ve been together less than three years, 58% call their sex lives very exciting. At more than 10 years, only 29% say so. Over time the frequency of hibbity dibbity drops as well – 72% of new couples have sex more than once a week, compared to only 32% of long-term couples.
Why? Social scientists (and men) will tell you that novelty – mixing it up in and out of the bedroom – is a major, if not THE major, sexual stimulant. As the weeks and years go by, couples fall into a routine and “novelty” is no longer a quickie in the coatroom; it’s chicken instead of pasta on Sunday night.
And, unfortunately, when novelty dies in a relationship, both men and women often seek it elsewhere, from “fresh” partners (or Jennifer Aniston). The all-too-common result? Separation and divorce.
Did a lack of sexual novelty derail Brad and Angelina’s love train? We’ll never know, but can you imagine any other reason why they wouldn’t want to schtupp 24/7?
So what’s the solution? Dr. Arthur Aron, a psychologist at SUNY Stony Brook, tells us: By introducing passion, novelty, and excitement to the things they do together on a date night, couples can help recreate the same chemical charge from their newlywed days.
Passion? Novelty? Excitement? Sounds simple enough … doesn’t it? But how, specifically and practically, can a couple recapture these critical elements and rekindle romance?
Sex therapist and author Carole Pasahow helps us drill down to the bottom line: Use variety to increase novelty … new and various sex positions, fantasies, toys, locations, times, etc.
And that’s where Sexy Slang comes into the picture. In a playful and unintimidating way, our party games, apparel and other products introduce you to dozens of new sex positions, fantasies and things you probably never knew existed. Play Sexy Slang and you’re sure to learn something new that you can try out later in the boudoir … or on the couch … in the backseat … on the chairlift … on the subway … okay, maybe not. But you get the idea.
Here’s a typical conversation after a spirited evening of playing Sexy Slang:
Husband: “I didn’t know you’d heard of the reverse cowgirl position.”
Wife: “Sure. Why? … Do you want to try it? Now?”
Husband: “Oh hell yes!”
So don’t let your relationship go the way of Brad and Angelina. Spice it up with passion, novelty and excitement.
Spice it up with Sexy Slang!
