Our libido depends on an alert and fully engaged sensual life. Even in the company of great love, each of us is responsible for maintaining our sexual health through regular engagement in pleasurable experiences that engage our senses. All 6 of our senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and intuition—need regular attention and activation. Reverence of the pleasures of the senses, not matrimonial or relational obligation, must lead the way for each of us to access the life-force energy we call libido.

The more detached we become from life's pleasures and focus our efforts on productivity, the more fatigue and sensual atrophy we will experience. And with that, our libidinal energy will plummet leaving us marooned in the land of "No": no time, no energy, no opportunity, no sex.
