Is Sex a Recreational Activity For You?

The notion that having sex is just another form of recreation is based in good intentions; most of us could stand to have more fun each day. But the price we pay when we reduce sex to another recreational activity is too high. What’s left to share with our partner, when we develop an exclusive, loving relationship, if we’ve trivialized sex as just another recreational activity?

It’s not as if we don’t have other alternatives for recreation, even along the gamut of sexual expression. We can have more fun in many ways without misusing sex. Yes, the experience of sex should be fun and energizing—but it should also be so much more. When we use sex just for fun, we have nothing left to replace it with. Nothing else crosses physical, emotional, and spiritual boundaries the way sex can.
Remember that the point is not that we’re too focused on sex. On the contrary, sex is critically important and deserves our attention. That’s why we have the best experiences when we approach sex with care. As M. Scott Peck states: “So, if it is the best possible orgasm you are after, then the best way to achieve it is with someone who is deeply beloved to you.” Take the time to learn more about the benefits of sane sex.
