Is there a relationship between great sex and great physical beauty? I’ve read, with some amusement, the correlations between attractiveness and life success. It runs the gamut: studies that suggest sexy or beautiful people get better jobs, earn more money, are more popular, or get their own way more often. I’ve been hard-pressed, however, to find a study that will categorically claim that being beautiful or handsome is directly correlated to having a great sex life.

However, what role does beauty play in an ongoing sexual relationship like marriage? Does our physical appearance, or more importantly, the way we feel about our looks or body bear any relationship to the quality of our sex lives?

When you and your mate first met, it’s a safe bet there were sexual fireworks. The newness of the relationship, the rush of anticipation and the fact that you were about to enter into a previously unknown erotic experience all added up to phenomenal sex. And that’s the way it should be.

But once you two got to know each other, that same kind of electricity didn’t come so easily anymore. Sometimes, getting worked up sexually can seem like more work than play! That’s normal too, and you’re absolutely right to be looking for ways to spice things up again, since sexual attraction is one of the keys to long-lasting marriages.
