It’s business time

Have you heard the song “It’s business time” by the flight of the concords? It is a song that’s about it being business time, which, as you might have guessed, is nothing to do with the making of money. That’s right, it is about having sex. Whilst it is a comedy song, it brings with it come surprisingly accurate analogies which I would like to talk to you about now.

What is brilliant about it

It begins with the man coming home, and knowing that it’s the day to get laid because its Wednesday, and that it the day that they usually have sex. It goes on to make some hilarious analogies to do with the parents, laundry and I think even putting the dustbins out! They then eventually go up stairs and brush their teeth which the guy claims is like foreplay?!?! Eventually when they do get to having sex, he makes the wonderful play on words, “making love for two…” which becomes “making love for two minutes”. Too funny.

Where it is real

The reason that we find things funny is often because we think that they are in some way true, in some way analogous to real life. In this case, they are singing about something that effects the majority of people at some point in their lives. Sexual routine.

Where routine gets you down

There is nothing wrong with routine in many parts of our lives. Routines keep us happy, make us feel safe, and often keep us disciplined to efficiently process tasks that otherwise would take us far to long to get around to. Routine solves all of that. However, the one place that routine can really cause an issue is with sex.

People want excitement

When it comes to sex, people want excitement, they want something that is different, and interesting. When you have the same thing at the same time every week, it doesn’t matter how good it is, you will cease to appreciate it in the same way. The routine of knowing that it is coming for sure, takes away the pleasure of it.

So how do I fix this?

Mix it up. Remember, this is not about you, your technique or your ability to perform, it is simply about the routine that is undermining the quality sex that you would otherwise be happening. This is also an easy fix as well. You should change any one of the following elements:

• Time
• Place
• Mood of the sex
• Lighting
• Music
• Clothing

I will break these down in another article another time in more detail. For now, just remember to change things up a little. It would be a shame to go to all that effort only to lose out purely on the basis that you kept the format exactly the same the whole time.
