Chelle, Categories: Taking Dead Rooster’s lead on his theory of sex selling and my recent search engine traffic of people looking for sex, I decided to share with you 5 tips on having sex as a married couple.
Don’t ask me why, but getting laid when you’re married can be more difficult than trying to get laid when you were single or just casually dating someone. Things like crying children, dogs, mother-in-laws, laundry to do, bills to pay and every other imaginable interruption very well might be accountable for the millions of jokes you hear about how married people never have sex.
To help you overcome these problems, here are my five tips for having sex as a married couple:
1. Remove the distractions: Send the kids to grandmas or try a site like SitterCity to find a baby-sitter. (Though sending the kids to grandma’s house will also help you avoid being interrupted by the mother-in-law as an added bonus!) Turn off the phones, the tv, the computers - the world won’t end if you and your spouse are missing for 10-30 minutes!
2. Schedule it if necessary: It cracked me up in the movie Dick and Jane when they were trying to figure out the next time they could have sex, but for some couples it’s a necessary thing to do. While scheduling sex loses the spontaneity, at least you can have something to look forward to.
3. Force yourselves: If you’ve gone longer than you like to go without being intimate with each other, it may be a good idea to force yourselves into it no matter how tired you are or how bad of mood you’re in. Just because you had a bad day doesn’t mean you can’t have a good night!
4. Soundproof: When you have kids, the last thing you want to do is wake them up! Learning to be quiet or going to a room away from where the bedrooms are can significantly decrease your chances of being interrupted in case you aren’t able to do suggestion #1. Also make sure before you get started things that might cause noise like squeaky bed springs, headboards, and lamps being knocked over are secured.
5. Embrace the Quickie: While most books and modern medications try to make it so you can have sex longer, when you’re married you usually just don’t have that kind of time. Instead, see how fast you are your partner can have sex and still both be satisfied. Can you do it in 10 minutes or less? 5 minutes? There’s no shame in trying to beat your previous records!
There you have it, my 5 tips for having sex as a married couple. Feel free to add any other suggestions or tips you have for other married couples in the comments below.

Lol I haven’t thought about how its gotta be for couples. Guess that is why I am not in a hurry to have kids. Scheduling sex seems like a necessity for them with their busy lifestyles and the quickie a definite necessity. Luckily for me and my girlfriend we have no kids so we do it without putting each other down in our palm pilot calendars lol.

Ahh.. these are all good tips. Are you sure you AREN’T a professional??? I’ve never been keen on quickies… I dunno… call me high-maintenance in the bedroom. And thank goodness we don’t have kids yet! I cringe at what they might catch us…. doing.
Also, the same thing happened to me with SU… i never even typed in the word and the article was tagged as “porn”. Weird, eh?

Keep tabs and talk about it. Set goals. Sex is important for physical and mental health. Say hey, we haven’t had sex in few days, how about now? Also, try different times of day, like a Saturday afternoon when Jr.’s playing little league - no you don’t have to go to every game!
