Absence Makes the Libido Skyrocket
You’ve undoubtedly heard the cute little saying that “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, and you’ve also most likely experienced this at some point in your life, whether it be with a partner or spouse, or a family member or friend. It’s a popular saying because it’s absolutely true. How often have you been away from your sexual partner or spouse for a week or more and returned only to be mad for eachother in the bedroom and allover eachother for the next few days? Of course, it does eventually wear off once you leave the toilet seat up and she starts to point out that you forgot to vacuum or you forgot to take out the trash for the umpteenth time, but you get my drift.
Not only do men and women build up a sexual desire quickly when they are used to having sexual intercourse or some other form of sexual intimacy quite often when they are in a relationship, but they also tend to look through rose colored glasses at their partner when they are not around, which creates chemical responses in the body that are akin to the same kind that occurred when you first fell in love. Actually, there is a specific molecule that is found in the body during the first several months of falling in love that is dubbed the love molecule because it dissipates over time, but can actually reappear when couples go through their second honeymoon phase, third, fourth and so on and so forth.
I’ve experienced this many times with my fiancee. It’s almost like when we’re apart for a week or even a few days, you see them and they look somewhat different – usually as in hot! And then you have this sort of nervous tension for a bit because you’re not used to seeing eachother. It all brings about memories and the fondness of when you first started seeing eachother and had sex all the time and couldn’t keep your hands off one another, ya know? At any rate, if you are having problems or you feel like your relationship could use a little electric infusion, maybe you should try spending a bit of time apart. It truly does wonders for the libido – and your mutual appreciation of eachother’s company!
