How to make things more sensual In Tuesday’s article, Top 5 Problems With Sex Today, I mentioned that people are getting too much information from the Internet, and not enough from their partner. Getting information from the Internet is, by its nature, impersonal. When we take information gathered impersonally into intimacy we depersonalize that as well.

If you’ve been married more than a couple of years, sex may sometimes seem a bit, well, boring. It’s kind of embarrassing to admit that, isn’t it, because movies, television and magazines present sex as an endless series of passionate encounters and fabulous climaxes.
