Sexual Intercourse - not as often any more Posted: 12-11-07 14:41pm
I have been with my partner for more than
10 years. We used to have a very active
sexual relationship, especially at the
begining like many couples.
Nowadays, we tend to have sex once a month
or once every 5/6 weeks. I wonder if it's
normal.
We sort of joke about it, saying 'yeah, we
will have sex next year!'' and laughed
about it.
We don't have any health problems. We
still love and fancy each other.
I'm not frustrated. He doesn't seem to be
either.
So what could be the cause(s)?
I sometimes wonder if it's possible that
he desires someone else or is having an
affair? Tell me what you think plz?

I don't think you need to worry about him
being interested in someone else. It
sounds like you're just going through a
phase. Here in a few years, you are going
to hit your sexual peak.

You know, my husband and I have been on
and off for the last 11 years but going
strong on for the last 4 years and since
we got together 11 years ago we have gone
through our phases of sex twice a day
every day in the beginning to once a week
to once a month back to 3 times a week
(it's never been back to that twice a day
though lol) We even went through a time
where we went without for 4 months. now
it's about where yours is, once a month or
once ever 6 weeks or so...I personally
hate it but that's just me and he's ok he
doesn't mind it. I went through what you
are going through thinking that I was less
desirable or that maybe there was someone
else, or whatever...but in the end it was
just that life happened to us. We have a
different life than we did 11 years ago.
We are hard working with a child and are
more tired and don't have as much free
time or there is just always something
going on. I have my moments where I don't
care it doesn't bother me and then I have
my moments where I would like to do it
more but when I sit and really think about
it...we just don't have the time or energy
for it like we used it. It just sounds
like life has happened to you guys and
there are other things going on. At the
same time I think everyone goes through a
point in their relationship where it just
isn't as important to keep you together as
it used to be because your relationship is
based on something so much bigger than sex
and that is just the plus to it. I am sure
it will all work out for you.
