I’ll admit it. Pledging myself to another human being for eternity was a terrifying prospect. I’d have to give up the thrill of picking up sexy (if questionable) men at the local pub. I’d have to put the kibosh on heavy at-the-office flirting. I’d have to take down my Nerve profile Nerve, always a source of great entertainment.

Most of all, I’d lose the allure of possibility.What I didn’t expect is that married sex would be so good, even beyond the whole making-love-with-your-soul-mate part. Don’t believe me? Check it:

1. I don’t have to worry what’s become of the sexy gifts I’ve given.

I once had an old friend (with benefits) thank me for the handcuffs I’d gifted him by telling me how much fun he’d had using them on a first date with someone new. That felt … less than great. Plus, we’ve all heard the horror stories of sex videos and nude pics gone viral.

While I still say no to naked video, it’s nice to see my husband light up at the prospect of fooling around with those corny-as-hell sexy dice I bought him two Valentine’s ago. And that nude portrait I had done up just the other week turns him on like nothing else. It’s good to know it won’t be falling into the wrong hands.

2. We don’t have to sneak around any more.

The both of us were still living with our parents until shortly after our engagement (I know, I know). Suffice it so say that “parking” wasn’t attractive to me in high school, and it’s still not attractive to me now.

Having to fling ourselves apart and rearrange our clothing every time we heard approaching footsteps at home wasn’t a barrel of laughs either (though the thrill of possibly getting caught is not to be underestimated).

3. I no longer have to defend myself from allegations that I am living in sin.

Does anyone take the plunge these days without first testing the waters? Not I! It seems silly to get married before knowing if you’re sexually compatible, and it seems similarly silly to get married before you know whether or not you can permanently live with his snoring, his dirty dishes, and his penchant for evening-long cartoon-fests.
