Actually, the study as I heard about it resulted in less happiness because they were being forced to have more sex. As someone who had trouble conceiving, I can confirm that sex on a schedule takes ALL the fun out of it.

As someone that also had trouble conceiving, Iā€™m gonna go ahead and disagree with you on that one. Sex on a schedule is better than bacon chocolate and beer on a schedule.

Not feeling sexy toward your mate is a symptom, not the problem. You can force yourself to have all the sex you want, but it still feels like you are overriding your security alarm when you do it with someone you donā€™t feel totally safe emotionally with.
