Unlock the secret acts that can save your marriage and learn which ones could destroy it, according to sexperts!

Navigating the waters of marital intimacy can be as complex as it is rewarding. While the physical connection between partners is a cornerstone of a healthy relationship, it's not without its pitfalls. As we mature, our understanding of intimacy evolves, and so do the dynamics within our marriages. It's crucial to keep the lines of communication open and to understand the delicate balance between exploring new territories and respecting each other's boundaries.


According to sexual health experts, there are certain intimate acts that, while they may seem adventurous, could potentially put a strain on your relationship or even lead to its demise. On the flip side, there are surprising acts that could breathe new life into a failing marriage, taking the connection to a whole new level.

One of the most contentious issues raised by sexperts is the pressure to engage in acts that one partner may not feel comfortable with, such as anal sex. Cindy Gallop, a campaigner and founder of MakeLoveNotPorn, emphasizes the importance of mutual consent and desire. She warns against insisting on something that the other person is reluctant to do, as it can lead to resentment and a breakdown in trust.


Gallop advises focusing on the pleasure of your partner, ensuring that intimacy is a shared journey of exploration. She suggests that when both partners are invested in each other's satisfaction, they may become more open to trying new experiences together. However, it's essential to approach any new act with care and to build up to it gradually, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as anal sex, which carries its own set of health risks, including a higher chance of transmitting STIs.

Interestingly, Gallop also points out that filming your own intimate moments can be transformative for relationships. It requires open communication and can lead to deeper conversations and connections. This act of sharing can enhance trust and bring couples closer, as long as it's done with mutual consent and respect for privacy.

On the other hand, Annabelle Knight, a sex and relationships expert at Lovehoney, cautions against the notion that there's a 'right' way to have sex. She emphasizes that intimacy is about connection and pleasure, not performance or adhering to a set standard. Knight also highlights the importance of communication, encouraging partners to discuss what feels good and what they desire from their sexual experiences.


Relationship coach Katie Flowers adds that problems often arise not from the act itself but from a lack of communication and understanding. When one partner's needs or boundaries are ignored, it can lead to disconnection and dissatisfaction. Intimacy should be a two-way street, with both partners' comfort and enjoyment being of equal importance.

It's also worth noting that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a healthy sex life. The frequency and nature of intimate acts vary greatly among couples, and what matters most is the quality of the connection, not the quantity of encounters. Acts of selfishness, such as skipping foreplay or focusing solely on one's own pleasure, can harm a relationship. It's essential to consider the needs and desires of both partners to maintain a fulfilling and respectful intimate life.

In conclusion, while exploring new dimensions of intimacy can be exciting and beneficial for a marriage, it's vital to proceed with care, empathy, and open dialogue. Mutual respect and a focus on shared pleasure are key to not only saving a marriage but also enhancing the bond between partners. Remember, the secret to a lasting and satisfying intimate relationship lies in the willingness to listen, understand, and grow together.

That is a strange topic , anal sex for seniors ?

I do think it's important to navigate your sexualising desires and respect each other.

We explored every area you can think off.
We worked hard to keep our marriage alive and to keep the fire 🔥 burning.

After our first child I was so turned off sex it wasn't funny. Looking back now I think I was scared of getting pregnant again . What I should have done was talked to hubby . I was 17,he was 19 at the time . Some pretty crap stuff happened over the next two years but we decided we needed to fix it or end it. We fixed it !!

In our early 40s I believe was the best sex we ever had. I was open, nolonger shy about my body.

I had no stretch marks, I worked out and even after all thise kids my boobs were good. So my confidence was high.

Now I enjoyed and loved so many things we tried. We did try Anal sex and I hated it. This is the one thing I will never do again and I told him never try it again.

I would love to hear if anyone else has tried it and what they thought.
Both men and women.

I sort of think to many it's a taboo topic 🤬

Hey there, Suzanne rose,
Your comments are very concise indeed. Something which I found very interesting indeed, which I, as with, I don't know how many others, was for the lady to wear edible strawberry flavoured undies with licorice ties.

Yes, that was very interesting & nice, I must admit. She loved it as well. All in between marriages.
Just a flavoursome thought.
