Sexologist Maurice Matheka (pictured) says the only time it is okay for couples to schedule sex is when they are trying to have a baby.
Otherwise, he adds, scheduling sex is a sure way to blow out the already wavering flame in a marriage.
“The moment you schedule it, the passion will just disappear. Sex will turn out to be like any other household chore,” warns Matheka. He observes that even very busy people usually create time for sex, even if it to cheat on their spouses.
“A man will never ever be so busy that he has to schedule sex to ensure he gets laid. No matter how busy you are, you will always find enough time for work, golf, church or even movies. Why not sex? There is no excuse for not creating enough time for intimacy with your spouse. Making a schedule for sex is inexcusable.”
Matheka says that scheduling sex only worsens the situation, especially for couples who have lost the spark. He advises that when it comes to that, couples should seek professional help to reignite the spark.
“Don’t plan, just sit down with your spouse and agree to make it a priority. But don’t schedule, otherwise it will turn out to be like any other chore. If you plan, even the orgasm will cease to be pleasurable, because you will know in your mind that she is doing it to please you,” he adds.
