A sex and relationship expert has revealed how to keep a relationship firing - and it involves being intimate with people other than your partner.
Doctor Tara Suwinyattichaiporn, who is part of the Celebs Go Dating team alongside Paul Brunson and Anna Williamson, has spoken about the spike in interest in the 'monogamish' movement in recent years.
The movement encourages people to explore and have encounters with people who are not their partner, but urges them not to form emotional connections - cause those cause problems.
Couples engaging in monogamish behaviour stay committed to their partner but explore outside the bedroom - under a pre-arranged agreement.
The relaxing of the fidelity rules is though to help some couples put the spark back into their sex life.
Tara, a US sex and relationship expert, suggested that playing away "can be the answer" to the divorce epidemic.
She questioned the sanctity of monogamy, "when so many people break that promise."
She continued to The Sun: "Instead of making it a morally superior thing, why don’t we become more logical and talk about what is missing after people have been married for ten years?
“Asking your partner how their day was is boring. Showing them a photo of someone else and asking, ‘Would you f*** them?’ is a lot more exciting.”
The Celebs Go Dating star, who practises being mongamish with her husband, predicted there will be a surge in couples giving it a go and that in 10 years it may be commonplace.
“There has been a surge in couples doing this," she said.
"During a meeting in London, I got to know a lot of high-profile people who are involved in the scene there."
Tara added: "In ten years, I guarantee those who aren’t into this now will be.”
She advised couples thinking of giving it a go, to take it slow and do some research first to ensure they are "less scared."
