I have been with my boyfriend for a year now, we went through some issues a few months back but now we are closer, more comfortable and in tune with each other, more in love...

The thing is sex frequency has gone down, I know at the beginning you cannot get your hands off each other and then the honeymoon period ends and things calm down; but I want to know your opinion on this, it almost feels that now that we are emotionally closer sex is not a priority anymore.

Opinions??

I have been with my Libra for almost 10 years...sexual chemistry is one of the main things that has kept us together this long. Our Venuses are square, and so are our Moons.

When we don't live together, we do it all the time, several times a day.
When we live together... it's like every other day or sometimes only once a week...depends on our schedules.

I think living together just lessens the sense of urgency.
Like, "oh, you'll be here tomorrow night...I'm tired, I just want to go to bed."

It's natural. I wouldn't take it personally, or try to read too far into it

SR your post made me giggle!

Lol if ever I end up living together with an SO going forward,I am going to make him sign a contract that states that sex should be religiously practiced on the daily.



Hahaha!

Worshipers are expected to leave their clothes at the door. Rituals at the Temple of Dimplez begin promptly and there is NO LEAVING EARLY! Services are expected to occur several times daily.

im convinced relationships have an expiration date..



How do couples make it 75 years then die? It happens and they are in love.



because they usually haven't experienced other people?

call me fucked up but, for me sex is VERY closely related to how i think a guy feels in a committed relationship.. and no, i'm not one of those crazy bitches who falls for everyone they sleep with.

if there's no sex or desire, i stop loving. just how i function, and i'm sure there are others out there like that. i still say, the kind of relationship that lasts 75 years in pure bliss without regret is very rare..

You're not fucked up, fwiw, just think you may be reading into things too much.


Not targeting you/calling you out...your opinion is yours...I just always wondered about this, maybe you can help me understand...

There are others who claim the same thing & I have always found it to be a contradiction.
You relate sex and love so closely - as to claim you cannot love without sex, yet at the same time you say you don't get attached easily through sex either.

Yeah, I can kind of see what you mean.

I used to feel that way too honestly...I was really distraught at first when me and my Libra we weren't having sex everyday. I thought it meant he wasn't into me as much anymore. But since we have been long distance for a couple years now, I've realized that it has nothing to do with it. (Not to mention, lots of reassurance from him, as it is something I immediately wanted to discuss)

I mean, I still get the sense he wants to "ravage" me when we do do it.
Less frequency does not equal less passion, by any means - although it might seem like it from the outside.

I relate it to cheesecake, kind of like Poisson mentioned....
I am really fucking passionate about cheesecake. I want to eat it all the time...but I don't.
But all good things are best in moderation. Doesn't mean I don't want it any less!
