How strange.
In my experience, practising something usually makes you better at it, 
not worse.

Especially with something like sex, where the more different people you 
practice with, the more likely you are to become skilled and gain 
confidence. This makes for much better relationships, whether you 
believe in souls or not.

(Surely having sex repeatedly with the same person would also keep 
forming and dissolving this mystic link, too, thus mysteriously 
weakening it? Sounds like a no-win situation to me)
