All work and no play makes you dull. So when your career eats into your sex life, how do you put the brakes on?
Q Work has been eating up all my time lately and adding to my stress. I find it hard to tune out so it ’s making it really hard to enjoy sex. Help!
A: Does the word “whiskey” mean anything to you? Okay, jokes aside, even if it ’s not booze that will help you ease up, the key here lies in finding a transitional state between your work and stressed state of mind, and coming home to your boo. Whether it ’s just straight up dinner, watching 50 Shades together or soaking in a bath, try to make it a phone-free zone. No messages, no emails, no work talk. To really mix things up, add some novelty to the sex by changing up the position, location, toys... Anything, really, to help with the idea that you’re just going through the motions.
Q Ever since I scored my dream job, I ’ve been more dominant in the bedroom and my partner doesn’t seem to enjoy it. Is he over-reacting?
