Oftentimes, sex between married couples gets a bad rap, with many saying that it has to be boring having sex with the same person over and over again for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. But our married experts who have been married for over 25 years, say forget the rumors that married sex is only bound to boring infrequency. There's actually plenty of toe-curling, back-scratching and earlobe-biting intimacy to be had between a husband and wife. Check out this list of reasons why married sex is better--way better--than singleness:
1. You Don't Have to Look Perfect
He's seen you when you're exhausted, after you've gotten out of the shower when you forgot to take off your eye makeup -- and he still loves you. Sex is stress-free when you don't have to worry about having the perfect makeup, the perfect lingerie, or even being perfectly groomed. - T. Langram
2. The Daylong Foreplay
The touch in the kitchen, the look during carpool, the accidental innuendo that thankfully goes above your kids' heads, the flirty emails -- it all makes it so much hotter when you finally can get each other alone. - B. Edwards

4. Sex Can Heal (Seriously!)

5. Sneaking With Your Mate Can Be Sexy
Stolen moments feel illicit and sexy, especially if you're sneaking around while the kids are (briefly) napping. - J. Lewis

11. He/She Wants To Please You
If you've been married to your mate for awhile, he/she knows how to turn you on. And even if those turn ons have changed slightly, they want to please you. Say goodbye to selfish one-night stands. - T. Roebuck
12. No Pretending
You don't have to pretend to be into that weird acrobatic move or that tiring role-play narrative if you're just not feeling it. - M. Adams
