- I think it's important to remember, too, that it may take more than 2 days
- for someone's sex drive to recharge! I find that if I haven't had
- sex for a while, it may take me up to a week to get really interested in
- it again. (depending on various other factors, including the point
- in my cycle.) So, if she's not interested in sex on the romantic
- weekend, it doesn't mean she never wants to have sex again. Maybe
- she's just not able to get back into it in such a short time. Try not
- to make her feel like the whole point behind the weekend is to have
- sex. That will just make her feel like she's under pressure. (in fact,
- it may be a good idea to vow *not* to have sex during the weekend unless
- *she* initiates it.) Concentrate on doing things you enjoy and pampering
- each other with backrubs and the like.
