Olympian Romance

by Jackie Fine

I’m not a big sports fan. I don’t spend every Sunday on the couch with two televisions blaring at me how my fantasy picks are going. I don’t fill out March Madness brackets. But every few years some athletes grab my attention.

Yes, the summer Olympics. No, it isn’t the media hype. It isn’t the heartstrings stories the networks tell about athletes and broken homes and insurmountable odds. But watching a runner, for example, moments before a race, blows my mind. Even the slightest moves they make flex muscles that have been fine-tuned for speed.

They have muscles I didn’t know existed. Medical schools could give exams on muscle groups based on an Olympian’s body. My fascination isn’t a sexual attraction (although, girls, those swimmers!). It’s based more on the fact that they hyper-train even the tiniest, most insignificant parts of their bodies to excel in a single skill. All that tension and strength explode in a brief moment. In that moment, these athletes do the impossible, and every Olympics, seemingly unattainable records are shattered.

It doesn’t happen all at once. They take years to stretch their talents in order to tap into reservoirs of ability. Though gifted, they’re doing what anyone can do – proving a capability to do the previously unthinkable.

If you say your sex life is good, you’re really just jogging in the bedroom. You’re a three-day-a-week, sunshine-only runner. The average person’s great sex life only taps into about 10% of their sexual abilities. As for me, I’ve never wanted to be an ignorance-is-bliss ten-per center.
Expanding that to 20 or 30% takes some work, some attention. What most of us do is find a workable sexual routine. Since I started counseling couples, I’ve discovered that people rarely even find a routine that regularly gives basic pleasure to both partners. Their routines minimize effort and time. Trust me, minimizing screws someone out of satisfaction.

To be a sexual Olympian, you need to break that routine. You need to approach the bedroom not as an outlet for the stresses of the week but as the practice gym for a sexual marathon. Your lovemaking shouldn’t be a series of events you perform passably well but a steeplechase of sensuality whose every curve you want to master.

As a child, they called me “Curious George.” In my adult life I’ve taken that obsessive curiosity and channeled it into sexual relationships. I investigate the myriad of claims made on human sexual potential. Since I started this journey sixteen years ago on a simple curious whim, I’ve learned a lot about our potential and how to fulfill it.

The bottom line to the bedroom Olympics: practice, research, conversation, and a little more practice. Don’t be afraid of something new. You should only fear the routine, doing the same activity you know you’re comfortable with.

Potential. We have so much of it. Everyone of us has the same muscles the Olympians do; we just don’t know how to flex them.
