By this point, I was mostly enjoying having regular sex, but also questioning how much room our schedule left for spontaneity. Rob must have read my mind because that Sunday he surprised me with flowers when he got home and pulled me in for a seriously sexy kiss that later led to a makeout session and sex on the living room couch. I was grateful that he was able to remind me that sex could—and should—happen in the moment, and not just when my phone buzzed to remind me.

For the rest of the week, we kind of threw the schedule out the window. In fact, there was no weekday sex at all, but by the time Saturday morning rolled around, we were both so horny, we managed to fit in a very quiet but very sexy pajamas-half-on sex session. To me, that’s how sex should be: quality over quantity. Sure the sex was quick, but it was intense! And the buildup of not having it all week made me want it more.

But I had to agree with Rob’s point that scheduling sex did put sex on the forefront of both our minds. In a weird way, I looked forward to our “on” nights because of the anticipation, but also to our “off” nights because I knew that it was time just for me. Going forward, I don’t think we’ll be scheduling sex. Even though Rob would love to create an Excel sheet for our love life, that’s just not me. But one thing we do agree on is keeping Wednesday as our official hump day (that’s still funny, people). I like that it means that no matter what’s going on, we know that there will be at least one night that’s just for us. And hey, it’s not a bad way to break up the week.
