Why Are Couples Having Less Sex?

It is becoming to common for couples to experience lower levels of intimacy as time goes on. Many factors contribute to reduced sexual activities. There are many valid reasons for any drop in intimacy. Rejection, stress, tension, and conflicts are just a few of the reasons physical intimacy may have lessened. Here are a few common reasons even couples can revive their intimacy.

(1) Stop hurting each other

Most often happens when a serious mistake was made and you choose to cast blame. This creates a case ofpalate fragrabbit,which is just too hard to handle. You must admit that your feelings hurt. You are now hurt or angry and this leads to blaming your partner. For most men, they want to protect their face and not hurt the confidence of their partner. When you just can’t stop the urge to blame, this becomes a habit that you will repeat again. For young men and women these days, they are growing up in this world with no supervision. Most times they rush into everything without any regard for others. So theirsense of self-worth is hanging on how they look. So they may start to compare themselves with other people. The problem is such compare-making makes them feel more insecure.

Stress also increases the frequency of sex. Couples who are growing up in pressure to be the perfect neurotic adolescents also suffer less sex because they are too anxious about their performances. In addition, they have performance anxiety. When they do have sex, they may not last long. Even if they can, they may ejaculate earlier than their partner.

The pressure to perform at a particular moment can also cause neglect for the sake of sex. Other factors also play into the situation. For example, some couples have been brought together for so long that sex is more of a ceremony than a joyful event. When there is more pressure to perform, then couples cannot find the joy that they used to have.

(2) Couples lose their spontaneity

Couples who have lost the spontaneity that they had when they first met also complain of being unable to enjoy sex. They cannot feel the excitement that they once had. Sex becomes something to fill the void that is created because other things are lacking.

The truth is that more often than not, simple sexual problems can be the result of mistakes that couples make when they first get together. Since they cannot talk about these problems, the best way to solve such problems is to work on the communication part of the relationship. Make your partner feel comfortable about talking about sexual things. You can encourage her to talk about her feelings without making her feel guilty. The more she opens up, the better chances you have of finding out what the causes of her lack of interest in sex are.

(3) Couples no longer make up during sex

Problems in the bedroom can lead to problems in other aspects of a relationship. Communication may break down and the relationship may suffer as a result. Nowadays, most couples can maintain an active and healthy sex life. They regularly engage in lovemaking and pretty soon, they begin to discover what they have been missing out on all this time.

(4) Couples grow apart mentally

People who grow up with strict religious backgrounds are usually trapped in self-respect and self-denial when they think about sex. They are embarrassed to ask for pleasure and do not wish to degrade themselves by losing control. This can lead to them being frustrated whenever they have sex with their partners.

Many couples who watch a lot of porn movies would also prefer to look at pictures of naked women or men instead of looking at each other’s bodies. Some partners would prefer to engage in phone sex instead of having sex with each other.

(5) Couples do not explore each other’s body

Couples should have the right to touch each other’s body. The feeling of skin on skin is a very good experience. The feeling of something soft touching your body can send shivers to your toes. Couples also enjoy the feeling of a man’s chest on a woman’s breast. The skin is still vulnerable to prickles even in the most sensuous of situations and a gentle touch can go a long way.

The main thing to avoid when exploring the external areas of each other’s bodies is to concentrate on the genitals only. Only this can allow the energy to be channeled and re-routed to other areas of the body. Any other area of the body will be ignored because the skin is too busy. This could also lead to skin peeling on the penis or clitoris.

(6) Couples ignore natural lubrication

The prepuce, in particular, is a book that people read to understand masturbation. Most of them fail to understand that the prepuce can be stimulated to add to the sexual tension external to the body.
