Approach motives pursue a positive outcome. (&#8220;I want to increase intimacy with my spouse&#8221; or &#8220;I want to feel closer to my partner.&#8221;) Avoidance motives aim to evade a negative outcome. (&#8220;I want to avoid conflict&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to feel guilty.&#8221;)<\/i><\/p>\n<p>News flash &#8211; it&#8217;s better for you to have sex when you WANT to have sex instead of just when you feel bad for your partner.<\/p>\n<p><i>The results: On days when a person&#8217;s motivation to have sex is more positively oriented, he or she felt more satisfied\u2014both in the relationship and sexually\u2014and had a higher level of desire. Conversely, on days when someone was motivated to have sex by more negative goals, he or she felt less satisfied and less desire.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>ANOTHER news flash: When you&#8217;re actually enjoying the sex, instead of just squeezing your eyes shut waiting for it to be over, your PARTNER will enjoy it more too:<\/p>\n<p><i>Researchers say [a] person&#8217;s sexual motivation affected his or her partner&#8217;s gratification. When someone had sex for positive reasons, the partner felt more desire and relationship satisfaction. When someone had sex for negative reasons, the partner felt less satisfied in the relationship and less sexually satisfied.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Long story short: if you WANT to have sex, it&#8217;s going to be WAY better.
