Keep The Burner On Low
- Turn your sexual 'burner' down instead of off after sex so the warmth remains.
- Maintain a low-level presence of sexual awareness so reigniting desire requires less effort.
Sophia's Simmering Experiment
- Sophia kept a small awareness of her sexuality after sex instead of retreating.
- She found less pressure, more initiation, and greater connection as a result.
Anticipation Is A Key Ingredient
