"  It might sound strange to send a Google Calendar invite to your sig O to schedule sex (Subject line: Invitation: Sexy time @ My place @ Tues March 5, 2013 8 - 9pm). But hey, between extra-long workdays, daily blogging duties, save-your-sanity spin classes and more, our lives are busy. And sometimes sex just feels like another box to check off the list at the end of the day. Or, even worse, it completely falls by the wayside.  My friends are so busy that it was no surprise when the question of scheduled sex recently came up over dinner: Is it brilliant or a buzzkill?  Sexologist Jill McDevitt, Phd, is all for it.  &amp;quot;I think folks think sex should be like it is in the movies, where&amp;#039;s it&amp;#039;s totally spontaneous, and that&amp;#039;s just not the way it often happens in real life,&amp;quot; she told Cosmopolitan.com. &amp;quot;Sometimes you have to close the blinds, grab the condom, pee first\u2026If anything, it can be sexier because it&amp;#039;s something to look forward to.&amp;quot; Just because you&amp;#039;re sucking Go-Gurts on your way to work doesn&amp;#039;t mean you don&amp;#039;t have time for sex. Suggestion: Ditch the idea that spontaneous sex is the only kind of sex in a healthy relationship and pencil a bedroom date into your planner.  And why not? You schedule for date nights at trendy new restaurants, weekend getaways. Getting busy, the good kind of getting busy, is just another special occasion, and one that you&amp;#039;d probably prefer to happen more than occasionally. As for the spicing up and spontaneity, that&amp;#039;s what happens between the sheets. Follow Jessica on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
