There are also great "excersices" in her book for this. My question is: What is your opinion about this and have you considered this (for example in a 30-day trial)?
Anyway, I wish you all lots of succes with this. It will be another interesting year at the very least  |
Excellent question! I've been doing research on this all morning and I find it fascinating.
Highly recommend everyone take a look at Marnia's video where she explains the dopamine cycle associated with sex:

This testimonial I also felt was helpful:
Orgasm revisited | Reuniting Biological Instinct
Seems that one of our biological instincts is to leave our mate after a certain amount of time and seek a new one so as to spread our genes around. More diversity = more probability of survival for the race.
The interesting thing is, the practice of balanced polyamory may act as a balance to this split-up instinct and allow a constant shuffling between a couple lovers instead of resorting to serial monogamy. Looks like there may be two solutions to this split-up instinct:
1. Polyamory
2. Marnia's findings
And right now, Marnia's findings seem more rewarding in the end.
Thoughts?
