No matter how long you’ve been married or partnered up, you have to make time to enhance your special relationship with the substance of raw passion. Even before my husband and I started exploring our kinky side, he would do little things, like give me a lingering look, an unexpected touch, a hello or goodbye kiss that went on too long to just be perfunctory. Somehow he managed to infuse it all with an undercurrent of his dominant nature — or maybe I’m just hard-wired to be submissive. Anyhow, like many other couples, our life went into a bit of a tailspin during the pandemic. Nothing serious, but the sudden change of routine rattled our sex life. Fortunately for me, though, my husband’s skills found a way to keep our lights on, so to speak, and kindle our dormant spark into a perpetual inferno.
