Even after 20 years, sex can still be wild and crazy fun, but we all know (at least those of us married more than a month), that we can’t humanly hold up that standard all the time. There are lots of kinds of sex that will fall naturally into the “maintenance” category:
• first-time-several-months-after-giving-birth-sex
• didn’t-get-enough-sleep-last-night-sex
• just-getting-over-a-cold-sex
• not-really-in-the-mood-sex
• going-to-start-my-period-in-a-couple-days-sex
• still-tired-from-a-big-workout-sex
You might ask, why have sex at all during these times? Well, let me tell you — there’s something sort of sweet that happens when you do. It’s a little like telling your lover that even when things aren’t perfect, you still love him/her, and still want to show it. In some mystical way, it keeps you connected. It keeps you in each others minds. It’s certainly not fireworks, but it keeps the pipes open, so to speak. It’s just good maintenance.
