I suppose sex can get better in long-term relationships but as I have never had a long-term romantic relationship that I can now remember, so how would I know? It wasn’t sex that worked for me anyway; it was my own delusions. I have moved now to a further plane.

The process to “become one” is sometimes long and arduous. Thankfully not for me in my current marriage but it was in my first. I think it’s because I took time to gain a sexual understanding of my body and my emotions. I also place a lot of it at sexual compatibility that is established in the beginning of the relationship. So to answer the question, I think sex in a great relationship can get better over time if you have discovered that the sex is not great, but good. If it’s not good, I believe it’s better to end the sexual relationship and try to remain good friends.

In answer to the posted question, I will send photos! Ha! Maybe we should change the name of the site to playboy.com or something. Anyway, seriously, in a true, loving relationship anything is possible.

I am absolutely starved for “fluff” after the angst of the last few days and the political hoo-hah…and yet, every time I get to a thread where I think I’ll just get a break and read some entertaining, enlightening views on life etc….it turns political. What in the ding dang does George Bush have to do with anyone’s sex life, and how it “progresses”…I would like to think nothing!

the longer a relationship lasts the more comfortable you become with each others bodies and your oown—I think it gets better
