A 43-year-old divorced mother of three children decided to share her experience with cosmopolitan.si. Here is her confession in full:

I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I really enjoy se**ing, even though I don’t always have much time for it. When a friend challenged me to try having sex twice a day for a week, I was thrilled. The only time in my life I’ve had sex more than once a day was when I was trying to get pregnant, and at that time sex was just a means to an end. My boyfriend Mario and I usually have sex three or four times a week, so this was a significant increase. I decided not to tell him about the challenge and just cut to the chase. That’s how it started.

My kids were with my ex and Mario stayed the night. We were both getting ready for work at the same time, so I decided to surprise him in the shower. We’ve never done this before, but I’ve always wanted to try it. The start of the day was very good. Later in the evening, Mario and I planned to go to the theater. It was very dark in the theater. I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but we actually snuck into the bathroom and quickly locked ourselves in one of the cubicles. This was another first experience for me, quite scary. Lucky for us, apparently no one likes going to the bathroom in the middle of a show!

I woke up alone and to be honest, after the activities of the previous day, I wasn’t thinking about a relationship. I tried to masturbate myself, but it hurt a lot. Mario stopped by my place for dinner that night and we watched a movie. We started kissing, which led to intercourse in my bedroom.

I think Mario was a little surprised that I started intimacy again, but he was definitely committed to it as well. Later that night, I began to worry that by constantly pushing, I had taken away the opportunity for him to show desire. The last thing I wanted to do was make him feel like he couldn’t follow me because I knew that Mario, like most guys I’ve been with, really likes to be the one making things happen.

I had to admit that more relationships made me want more relationships. I was really looking forward to seeing Mario again. That evening I tried to call him for another phone call, but he was at a late dinner and didn’t answer. I thought about trying to masturbate again, but I was too tired. Trying to incorporate intercourse twice a day wasn’t easy, especially when my partner was away.

Mario surprised me when he showed up in my office. He said that because of our special “telephone conversation” he was thinking of me and that he needed to see me right away. I locked my office door. Since my office is at the end of the hall and most people were at lunch, there wasn’t much danger of being discovered, so we kept quiet. This was much better than my usual mid-day break.

That evening I texted Mario and told him I’d like him to come, and he asked me what was going on. Finally I told him about the sexual challenge and he started laughing. He said he finally understood why I had been so playful lately. He came and we had a very peaceful relationship that didn’t end in climax for me, which is not typical. I think it was a combination of my kids at home and the fact that I was so exhausted. This was definitely the downside of the whole relationship. I started to feel that the quality started to suffer.

Even though we were both pretty exhausted, Mario wanted to do his part to help me get through the week, so we FaceTimed again early this morning- We had interacted like this a few times before the challenge and it was a little scary at first. It always takes me a long time to get comfortable. I stopped by Mario’s that evening, but it didn’t go so well. We tried to have intercourse, but it was painful for me. For the first time in the five months we’ve been together, Mario has had trouble maintaining his temper. I started to think that maybe so much intimacy wasn’t such a good idea after all.

Feeling obligated to finish the week, it was less fun than usual. The relationship started to feel like an obligation rather than something I did for pleasure. Later that day, Mario and I were alone at my house, enjoying food and Netflix. We both agreed that while we love the relationship, it’s nice to spend time that way. That night we decided to take a break from our relationship. However, when I turned off the light and we laid down, he started kissing my neck and before we knew it, our clothes were off.

Overall, I think having sex twice a day is too much for me. Even though he made me feel like an incredibly se**ual being, it’s true when they say too much of a good thing isn’t a good thing. And when it comes to the relationship, both Mario and I found that we missed the anticipation of it, which can sometimes be more fun than the act itself.
