Don't forget to add sex to your to-do list...

Sex drive is one of the first things to take a hit when life gets busy...

If your to-do list is all work and no play – it can be a big problem. Stella Resnick, author of “Heart of Desire,” says a lot of us tend to put intimacy on the back burner, or worse, on a list of chores, when life gets busy. What’s your excuse? These two top the list - and unless you address them, you’re cheating yourself and your partner of one of life’s simple, healthy pleasures:

• I’ve got a headache. If it's a true headache – intimacy may be just what the doctor ordered. Satisfying sex has analgesic properties.

• I’m not in the mood. The most effective way to address this mindset is some skin to skin contact. That releases pheromones that trigger desire.

Stella says, if the first time you think about being intimate is when you crawl into bed at night, it’s like starting a cold engine. If you can both work some intimate thought time into your day – it will be less of a leap later on.
