Germans urged to come on time
Kathryn Quinn
Punctual Germans are being urged to set aside a regular date each week to have sex.
The advice by the country's top sex therapists was published in German media yesterday saying that it was a myth that only spontaneous sex was any good.
The claim was made by top German sex therapist Barbara Balldini and backed up by other German experts such as the Munich-based marriage counsellor and therapist Ariane von Thuengen.
She said: "It is one of the biggest problems in the relationship when one partner wants sex and the other does not. In order to remove tension couples should set aside a fixed date every week to have sex with each other.
"Many people think making a fixed date to have sex is unromantic and think that only spontaneous sex is any good."
Von Thuengen who works for the Pro Familia group said: "Couples should put aside a set time at least once a week - it can have a great effect on the relationship. It's especially good for busy couples to make sure they include the sex act in their timetables.
"Some women also lose interest after the birth of a child and a fixed date for sex is a good way around this problem."
