Sex according to the calendar sounds really unsexy, but women's desire for romantic togetherness is actually linked to their menstrual cycle. In the first phase of the cycle, in which the egg matures, a lot of oestrogen is released.

So why don't you do the same! Communication in a relationship is very important and you should both always know how the other is doing.

After all, sex is largely a matter of the mind.
