The shotcaller would yell green light and everyone would scramble for the finish line.

When red light was called out, everyone had to immediately freeze in place.

The rules are the same, but in a much more adult context.

One command to bring a halt to things, and one to resume activity.

Started thinking about that email you have to write?

Caught yourself staring at your partners belly button lint?

Feel like your partner might be staring at your lint?

You get the picture.

Whatever you do, venture to bring a little levity to the moment.

You arent allowed to get back to the fun until the same person says green light.

Its a simple game, but its also adaptable.

Or try only allowing one person to be the shotcaller in a particular interaction.

Our brains are used to being in constant overdrive, and its hard to shut them off.

When youre not mentallythereduring sex, you cant really experience pleasure or the connection that makes sex so intimate.

Youre making those moments of reconnecting feel light-hearted and sweet.

Who couldnt benefit from that?
