Autopilot sex? What is it, and how can I make it more fulfilling?<\/p>

Let\u2019s be transparent – no one actually sets out to have a relationship that makes sex feel like any other chores, like drying clothes, paying bills or cleaning. But somewhere, as life goes on, the fireworks of a first date tend to fade into the tenth year of shared responsibilities. Sex can gradually, without any notice, change from something you look forward to something you need to check off.<\/p>
