COUPLES SOMETIMES FIND THEMSELVES IN A DYNAMIC WHERE SEX HAS ESSENTIALLY BECOME
A REWARD IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP. IT’S “GIVEN” OR “GRANTED” BY ONE PARTNER IN
EXCHANGE FOR THE OTHER PERSON DOING SOMETHING THE GIVER WANTED THEM TO DO. THIS
EXCHANGE ISN’T ALWAYS A BAD THING. USING SEX TO REWARD EACH OTHER CAN BE TOTALLY
FINE IF IT’S ONLY DONE ON A WHIM EVERY NOW AND THEN, FUNCTIONING MORE LIKE A
SPICY GAME OR SHARED CELEBRATION THAN AS AN ACTUAL QUID PRO QUO. HOWEVER, IF SEX
IS EXCLUSIVELY USED AS A BARGAINING CHIP BETWEEN A COUPLE, THAT COULD SIGNAL
UNDERLYING ISSUES IN THE RELATIONSHIP — AND POTENTIALLY INVITE FURTHER
DYSFUNCTION.

TIPS AND TRICKS
DON'T BE AFRAID TO PUT SEX ON THE CALENDAR
SKEPTICS WILL SAY SCHEDULING SEX PUTS UNDUE PRESSURE ON INDIVIDUALS TO PERFORM,
THAT IT TURNS INTIMACY INTO A CHORE, AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. BUT SEX IS NOT AN
OBLIGATION. AND THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO ORGANIZE THEIR SEX SCHEDULE DO SO BECAUSE
THEY LIKE SEX, AND THEY WANT TO KEEP HAVING IT. PLUS, SCHEDULED SEX CARRIES
CERTAIN PERKS SPONTANEOUS SEX DOES NOT — NAMELY ANTICIPATION. COUPLES, FOR
INSTANCE, CAN ALSO USE IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO INCORPORATE SOMETHING NEW AND
INTERESTING INTO THEIR SEX LIVES LIKE (OH BOY! TUESDAY THE 24TH IS COSTUMED HERO
NIGHT!) “IT GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROLONG THE EMOTIONAL FOREPLAY,” SARAH
E. CLARK A LICENSED THERAPIST AND RELATIONSHIP EXPERT

TOLD FATHERLY. “LET YOUR PARTNER KNOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY HOW MUCH YOU ARE
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.”

TIPS AND TRICKS
WORKING REMOTELY? SCHEDULE REGULAR CHECK-INS
WHEN YOU’RE IN THE OFFICE, PEOPLE ARE EFFORTLESSLY REMINDED OF YOUR EXISTENCE
AND WHEN YOU’RE NOT, YOU MUST MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET NOTICED. SO, MAKE FRIENDS
WITH YOUR CALENDAR APP. “IF PEOPLE HAVE REGULAR CHECK-INS, THAT’S HOW THEY DON’T
GET IGNORED,” SAYS ABBY KOHUT, OWNER OF RECRUITING FIRM STAFFING SYMPHONY. “IF
YOUR BOSS DOESN’T SCHEDULE THEM, THEN I WOULD TRY TO ASK YOUR BOSS TO SCHEDULE
ONE FOR YOU.” THE SAME APPROACH EXTENDS TO COWORKERS WITH WHOM YOU’RE
COLLABORATING. YOU DON’T NEED TO SAY TOO MUCH OR TALK TOO LONG IN THE CHECK-INS.
THE REAL POINT IS TO GET EVERYBODY IN THE OFFICE TO KNOW THEY’RE GOING TO SEE
YOUR FACE AT A CERTAIN TIME ON A CERTAIN DAY EACH WEEK.
