Decline of interest in sex after marriage

[Joystick]

Could it be that women today have experienced years of sex by the time of marriage and have found it generally unfullfiling or have acquired a 'seen it, done it' mindset? A generation or two ago, so many brides were in their early twenties and married young, in part, to have sanctified sex. Perhaps because their sexual peaks were several years off, the transition from an early- to a mature-love relationship was more easily bridged. (Sex was still fresh and their bodies were becoming more and more attuned to its pleasures.)

Increasingly women are marrying near their sexual peak. Soon after newlywed lustfulness has worn off and a couple has formed a committed bond and children are on the way, a woman's life can become a harried 18-hour marathon. Is it any wonder then that many women view sex only in the rear-view mirror of their mind's eye, an extravagance of a glorious youth?

I Am Cut To The Quick!!

Oh Siobhan!
How could you make such an emphatic, all encompassing statement???
I have never lost interest! That's why such a long term marriage!

Life's day to day stress along with the potential for sameness contributes to lack of interest . It is not confined to females ; it also happens to males . And remember Hugh Grant cheated on Liz Hurley . Sameness and day to day stress leads to boredom.
After my buisness trip to Toronto and visit to SP my wife wondered why I was ...
If I had seen Siobhan I might have completely wore out my wife

There is a lot of difference between losing interest in sex ad losing interest in your partner.

Unless he or she is ill, there's always something more to it than just losing interest in sex.

I really don't feel it is just the man. There are just as many women who loose interest (in sex or their partners) as men.

What Hugh did was completely beyond me though... Liz vs who the heck???

Yeah, who amoung us hasn't seen some guy married to the PERFECT woman, yet he bangs anything, and i mean anything, he can get his hands on.

There's a million reasons.

As far as liz and hugh goes, maybe she is a dead lay, or doesn't give head, who knows. Or maybe he just needed a quick BJ.

As far as waning sex goes in a relationship, I agree, being exhausted from work and all of life's ongoing BS doesn't help. Perhaps the secret is to go to bed at 7:00 pm while you still have some gas instead of waiting till after Leno is over and you are all but in a coma.

Stress is a hard-on killer
