The Importance of Collaborative Intimacy

Desiring a more intimate and erotic marriage is a commendable goal that fosters closeness between partners. It is essential to understand that the desire for sexual novelty often resides more with one partner than the other, leading to a perceived hierarchy where one feels superior in their understanding of good sex. This mindset can create tension and anxiety, as the partner with the higher desire may inadvertently see themselves as the authority on what should happen in the bedroom. True intimacy stems from a collaborative spirit where both partners work together to explore and enjoy sexual experiences while avoiding the pitfalls of feeling superior or pressured.
