As someone who’s super sex-positive, I’ll be the first to admit that the thought of taking a break from sex with my partner is pretty damn unappealing. If you’re in a healthy, happy relationship and have an active sex life, why press pause on that? On the other hand, I can understand why the idea might not be all bad: there’s no harm in temporarily switching up your sexual routine and seeing what kind of effects that has on your relationship as a whole. So how can taking a break from sex improve your relationship?
