Relationships with expiration dates

I’m just at a loss of what to say to women who still believe that great sex is enough to keep a man. I think it is one of those situations that people have to experience before they get it.

The reality is it’s easy to entertain, like, and be enamored with one another when your clothes are off. That’s actually the easier part in a lot of ways!

What happens when your clothes are back on and you start to realize that outside the bedroom, you actually don’t connect in other ways?

Let me give you a hint: Tick. Tock. That’s the timer ticking to down to the demise of the relationship.

It’s not just because orgasms aren’t enough to keep two people interested. It takes more. A lot more. Especially if you want more.

Sure the amazing bedroom trysts will be a shiny new toy you can’t stop playing with – but the novelty wears off. What do you think it takes to sustain a relationship without expiration dates?

Don’t you think it rather… interesting.. that sex alone can’t sustain a relationship but a relationship without sex won’t last either?

Why do you think that is? Or do you disagree?

Some of it depends on age and although many believe that good sex holds a relationship together that’s not always the case. If you fall for what you see in movies and on TV then you’re just a follower. It’s up to you to choose the right person that respects you. The one you know you can call if you need. I’m not talking about using them for a sound board because you had a bad day . . . but you can call when things are really bad for you.

I don’t like to be crowded by my man. There are things that we do together but I don’t have to spend a great deal amount of time with him. He’s the same way. The time we spend together is good quality time that we use to listen to each other and laugh and joke. I trust him and don’t feel a need to spy or try to catch him cheating. I also know and have known him for years. And, over the years we’ve learned what the other likes when it comes to intimacy. He’s not only my man he’s my friend.
