In This Week’s Podcast….SEX Point #1: Drought

After experiencing a miscarriage earlier this year, Danielle wondered if she and Garrett had lost the fun in their sex life, even though they were both enjoying the ‘let’s-try-for-another-baby’ sex
The time change, an increased workload, massive changes within their businesses, and Garrett turning Danielle down for the first time in their 17 year marriage, have all led to their current drought.

QUESTION

What is contributing to the droughts you’re experiencing?

Point #2: One For The Team

When it’s been a while, Garrett tends to go into this retreat mode where he doesn’t even try to initiate sex with Danielle.
Garrett: When we experienced a drought in the past, I would begin thinking I was in the wrong relationship. Now, I just torch the shit out of people in business.

QUESTION

Where do you place your energy when you’re in a drought?

Point #3: The Slip and Drift

Garrett: If we’re three days into having sex twice a day on vacation, I’m that guy who could use a couple of days of rest.
When they’re experiencing a drought, Danielle begins to lose that attraction factor, and both she and Garrett begin to feel that loss of attraction.

QUESTION

What actions do you take to get back that attraction factor?

Point #4: Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix

Garrett played a video during the show called The Universal Hot-Crazy Matrix. You have your crazy axis and your hot axis. Hot is measured from 0 to 10, and Crazy is measured from 4 to 10.
You’ve got your No-Go Zone, your Fun Zone, your Date Zone, your Wife Zone, and your Unicorn Zone. Garrett: Danielle’s a Unicorn: 4 Crazy and 14 Hot.

QUESTION

Where is your spouse inside this matrix?

Point #5: Just F***ing Do It!

At about seven days into a drought, most men begin to unplug from their wife. The best thing a couple could do at this point is to just have sex; just fucking do it.
During the podcast, Garrett and Danielle venture into a little sex talk foreplay with both committing to ending the drought after the show.

QUESTION

Where is your favorite place to end the drought?

What would be possible for your relationship if you were to have a plan in place the next time a drought crops up out of seemingly nowhere?
