8 Ways Sex Changes When You Move In Together - Page 2

Sex naturally changes when you live together. Good sex is usually dependant on a loss of inhibitions and worries (and arguments). When you live together, you can’t help but take on some new inhibitions (like you’re insecure about him seeing how much online shopping you really do, or witnessing you air-drying your period panties on the shower you two share). You’re going to be filled with a little more worry, like, “If I fail to pay rent now not only does it affect my credit score but it also affects my relationship.” And, you’ll definitely have a few more arguments since you’re sharing a living space now. So, sex can get a little trickier. But it can also be a lot more fun too. Here are ways sex changes when you move in together.

But, you probably won’t

When you had roommates, part of the excitement is the possibility of being caught. When you live together, you’ll actually have a little more pride in your kitchen because it’s just your kitchen. You’re both thinking, “But if we do this, then we need to buy new wipes for the kitchen table…”

You’ll have sex at random times

Sometimes, you’ll look around, when you’ve just finished cleaning the kitchen together at noon on a Sunday for guests coming over at 1, and you’ll realize, “It’s go time.” You’ll find odd pockets of time to have sex and steal them when you can.

Or very scheduled times

Or, you’ll lead a life with no free time, and you’ll schedule sex. You will remind text your partner, “Remember to leave the office before 5 or you’ll hit traffic, and it will take you three times as long to get home, and we’ll miss our window to have sex before dinner!”

You will give up on sexy underwear

It’s too expensive to have sexy underwear for every night of the week. Not to mention the really good lingerie has to be hand-washed to preserve its integrity, and it’s a whole thing. You’ll wear granny panties for sex sometimes, and he will like it.

But you’re sleeping naked anyways

Like I said, no more roommates to worry about. If you want a glass of juice in the middle of the night, you can saunter out into the kitchen in your full naked glory, eliminating the need for pajamas. This also makes morning quickies easier.

Your toys are on display

No roommates means getting to leave your condoms and flavored lubricant out on dressers instead of shoved into drawers.

They’re also on your grocery list

Your grocery list reads, “Milk, grapes, chips, lubricant, batteries.” (And the batteries aren’t for a flashlight).

You’ll have less sex

You’ll always have the excuse, “We can do it whenever we want! We live together now!” But that will inevitably lead you to not having it that often.

But it will be quality

That being said, since you’ll sometimes go a week without it, you’ll both be at full speed ahead when you do have sex. And it will be awesome.

Chores will get in the way

Not necessarily doing them, but rather being angry with each other over how you did or did not do them. It’s hard for your partner to, well, get hard when you just berated him about the dirty bathroom mirror.

But chores will help too

Then again, when your partner goes out of his way to do something nice for the house or to clean up after himself, you’ll want to reward him. Naked.

Cooking times and sexy time

You’ll find that the times you need to let something bake for 15 minutes or something defrost for 20 minutes are good times to have sex. You usually hadn’t factored in that waiting-around-time, so it’s free!

Show times

You’ll also skip sex sometimes because it was either sex or watching your favorite show. You didn’ thave time for both and a good night’s rest, and you’re not giving up sleep for sex. You’re not 19 anymore.

You’ll cook with sex in mind

More on cooking, you’ll choose foods based on sex. You’re both very busy; this is the one night this week you’ll have time for good foreplay—you’re not making cauliflower because you know it gives him indigestion. Nope. He is having a bland meal so you two can get it in.

You’ll pay for sex

No no no—not like that. All I meant was that, if the only thing standing in your way of having sex is cleaning the house or making dinner or picking up a friend at the airport, you’ll hire a cleaning service or order takeout or pay for a cab for your friend. Sometimes you have to shell out cash to make time to have sex!
