How to Make Love to the Same Person for the Rest of Your Life *and Still Love It

Now you can have the best of both a committed relationship and great sex—with the same person. For fifteen years Masters and Johnson-trained sex therapist Dagmar O'Connor has helped couples break through sexual apathy, bedroom boredom, and other marital perils, to rediscover the sensual and sexual possibilities of lifelong intimacy. Here are the techniques, exercises, and settings which can keep the adventure and seduction (and even a touch of illicitness) in your relationship—to make committed sex the best sex there is. Why home can be the unsexiest place in the world—and what to do about it. How to deal with "I'm in the mood for sex, why aren't you?" How "sexing out" instead of dining out can be the answer. How to "Unmommy" your wife and "Undaddy your husband. Why the "sexual seesaw" is the most dangerous marital game. How to think like a teenager—even if you're middle aged. How to turn your spouse into your Dream Lover. "No hype or fads here; just solid advice on how to keep sex an important—and FUN—part of long-term relationships."-- Kirkus Reviews "A chatty, compassionate, encouraging, and supportive sex manual."-- Booklist

Caution - I'm divorced!
This book ISN'T the solution - but it contains interesting ideas.
But be careful. If you just do the items in this book, you could (as I did) remain married to the WRONG person! Don't. Ditch the Bitch.

How to make love to the same person for the rest of your life_ and still love it! by O'Connor_ Dagmar
Gives examples of trying new things and what will work for you and what won't work. And what works one day might not work another day.
Changes in age do matter also. Lots of studies done.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

Dr. Dagmar O'Connor was an excellent sex therapist very specialized in the sexuality of married couples. Through this book she describes several excellent methodologies to improve the couple's relationship and make them happier. It is a book that should be kept on the nightstand to reread it several times with your partner. It is a shame that Dagmar died and that today there are no therapists at the level of Dr. O'Connor, therefore it is a recommended book for couples and for therapists.

I quite like this: the idea of "for the rest of our lives" taken seriously by a psychologist who is not a Christian, so the ideas and descriptions are more daring. It could have more examples, especially of the religious kind, as this is a big issue for Christians who want to stay in their relationship for life. This is not a book about how to survive your abusive significant other; this is purely a book about how to reinvigorate sex when that is the part of the relationship that is missing. I found it pretty good. It was interesting.
