When two people enter into a relationship, that spark of electricity can be extremely influencing, making sex particularly passionate and exciting. This is called the ‘honeymoon phase,’ and like real honeymoons, this phase inevitably comes to an end after a few months or a couple of years.

It is completely possible to transition a seemingly stale long-term relationship back into one filled with fire. According to many sex therapists and experts, adding a bit of novelty can restore the fire. One of the best ways to achieve this goal is considering introducing consensual non-monogamy into the scene.
