There is nothing more boring than people complaining about sexual boredom. That is so ordinary, lack luster and quite frankly rather lazy. When we decide to actively nurture our sexuality, we are taking a stand for living a vibrant and pleasure filled life. Re-charging your sexuality takes big action and consistency. When you make that extraordinary decision to take action; why not call it “a resolution to sexual evolution”. You are doing something remarkable – you have begun a life changing journey. Understand that your sexuality is a path to freedom and conduit to life force energy such as creativity.
When you choose to give time to your eroticism you are giving time to living a bigger, more abundant and more self fulfilled life.
It’s hard to wrap our heads around this idea that sex requires the same kind of willful intent that a great diet plan or financial management program does.We have to make space for sex. Sometimes, we have to move obstacles and even spend our resources on sex. More often than not, we have to challenge our own shame and dug in belief’s about our own bodies — and this is not small aspirations. Creating a new relationship with sex this year may bring with it some ups and downs. You may find yourself expanding and contracting. But that’s all normal. It’s all apart of your sexual evolutionary plan. Remember: Sex is something that you do; not something that you aspire to.

Try planning a big deal trip and creating the space needed around it or be spontaneous because nothing is more boring than know that you are going to have sex every Thursday at 9 p.m. Try spicing up this year with fooling around in the car; in a dark corner, or kissing under the moon light.
