For some people, this might be their worst nightmare. For others, it’s everything they’ve always dreamed of. For us, it’s been fun, but also challenging. Actually, I think I’ve been the challenge.
I knew it was worthwhile though when my partner Jules said this.
“I’m really glad we signed up for the 30 nights of nookie.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s forced us to make time for us.”
Never in my wildest dreams, as a lesbian, would I have ever imagined a condom brand would have improved the intimacy in my relationship. Thank you Durex!
Admittedly, as much as I’ve been on board with our extracurricular activities, some nights I’ve dragged my heels to the bedroom. Which sounds insane, because I’m in a sickeningly happy relationship, but when I’m stressed, tired, and my mind is full of work, the last thing on my mind is sexy time.
Just as an FYI, you should know that this post is sponsored by Durex. But all opinions expressed by the author are 100% authentic and written in their own words.
I feel for Jules. Hitting on me after I’ve had a long day at the office would be a bit like hitting on this cat. So inviting, so sexy.
Lucky for me, Jules is very patient. She is my rock and the lady that brings me back down to earth on a daily basis. This last week has not been one of the easiest. We had some big decisions in our household and it was just more hectic than usual. So, when Jules reminded me of the program late one night, I remember saying in a very dramatic fashion, ‘JULES! I CAN’T DO THE PROGRAM TONIGHT! There’s only 6 hours until I have to be up again. I just need to sleep.’
And then this amazing woman said some magical words that turned me from a tiger into a kitten:
‘Why don’t I give you a massage?’

No matter how stressful the week is, or how busy we have been, we make sure to have a "date" night on Saturday nights. It just means a different environment, no TV to distract and helps us to connect.
We have 2 under 2...so nookie time is very limited. But every Sunday, my mum takes the kids to the park. She doesn't know it is so me and my husband have some time.
Yeah... Yeah she does. She's just being polite about it.
