Sexual Intimacy: The Secret to Great Sex

Sexual intimacy is the married person's key to great sex. But is that all there is to it? Learn the secret to having great marital sex through sexual intimacy.

Do you want to know the secret to great sex through sexual intimacy? Sexual intimacy is greatly enhanced by emotional security. The Lancet, a British medical journal, just published a study showing that married couples have better sex than single people because they enjoy emotional security. When two people share complete trust and commitment with each other, they both feel absolute emotional security. And that's when sexual passion is at its peak, when it has reached this level of sexual intimacy.

Of course, this kind of trust and commitment is only achieved over time, with plenty of effort. It requires a couple to demonstrate openness and tolerance with each other, so they can feel real acceptance from one another. Deep and genuine sexual intimacy can begin to develop from these roots.

Sexual Intimacy - How do I get it?

Sexual intimacy can only be reached through both parties being completely honest and reliable. It's not enough when only one spouse feels these feelings. Real trust in a relationship is a two-way street, you must both be committed to living the truth.

This truth only deepens the passion of your sexual intimacy because when you can totally and completely trust the person you are with, you can totally and completely let yourself go. Having complete trust in each other and feeling the emotional security your truthful commitment brings allows you sexual freedom.

You can also increase the emotional security in your relationship by offering each other genuine words of affirmation. If you both find ways to affirm each other, especially in the bedroom, you will increase your relationship's emotional security, which is the secret to great sex through heightened sexual intimacy.
