When Do Couples Stop Having Sex???

It seems that single people talk more about their sex life than couples do--in fact it appears that couples never have sex!!!
Whether married or not, a gay couple
or a straight couple, being spouses, partners, lifetime
companions--however you designate your relationship--it appears that,
yes, you have romantic dinners, go to movies, have a 'date' and yet it
ends there.

By the same token single men talk more about sex, and seem to have more, then men in relationships and/or women.
When does sex leave the relationship and you become 'brother & sister' or 'sisiters' or 'brothers' or 'room-mates''???
I know many who blog are from a generation that you didn't talk about sex in public or with
strangers but I thought 'boomers' and the newer generations were more
open.

I won't name names but NO couple who blogs here talks about their sex life while a few of us single gay guys (and one sex worker) does.
No,
it isn't a case of looking for X-rated blogs or the details but more of
what takes place in relationships regarding showing love in a sexual
way which doesn't seem to happen to couples who have been together for
a few years.  What happens to the physical side of the relationship?
Does it just come to an end? Is it not 'needed', 'wanted',
important anymore? Does just the life of making a life together take up
the time that you use to spend on having sex, making love? Do you
become too busy with obligations, doing other things, responsibilities,
technology, etc., to have time for 'quickies', a sex filled evening, a
tryst, an 'affair' with the one you love???

By the way--and this is for the men--no lying!!!!  LOL

Most relationships start as a result of a physical attraction, so there's a lot of physical activity that goes along with it and it's bound to go on for awhile, if you know what I mean. Just how long, though, depends on a whole hell of a lot of things...like, how important is sex to a person to begin with, in OR out of a relationship? Just because it comes quite naturally with somebody different or in a new relationship, it may wear off later when the personal need (or drive) tapers off. I can say that this would be the initial, therefore possibly the biggest reason for the slowdown/infrequency in our relationship. Add in some medications and their side effects and you'll get the rest of the story. The drive is effected, although it isn't completely gone, but sometimes being physically tired or physically uncomfortable (not feeling well, for instance) and/or bad timing (or not enough time), or any number of "inconveniences" may prevent the "drive" from actually getting any mileage.

I am too shy for that kind of talk but must admit there is some brother/sister relationship here

and for the record the sex continued through the whole 12 years plus our 8 dating, it just lost it's intimacy with the marital strains

Sometimes in my new relationship, I feel like bragging about the sexbut I'm afraid that I'd lose my readers or they'd know what a freak I am

well, Mr. Bugg and I were like a coupla rabbits until he had his first heart "event" (medical term). After that I think we were both a little scared even though the doctors assured us that we could so indulge without much danger of him keeling over. We had our moments though. I don't know if we'd still be going at it as much as we did if he were alive today. Mebee the excitement goes out after you've been married/partnered for a good long time. Kinda like having cheescake for dessert every day. Gets mundane. Anyhoo, just my opinion.

reguards
yer off desserts permanently pal

I would have to say that in the 4 MAJOR relationships that I've had, the sex continued with the first one throughout the marriage (10 years). The second and third major relationships (one of them being marriage) it seemed to wither away rather quickly. Now this one, and I believe it to be my final one, for I have never felt quite like this (I'm guessing maturity)has stayed strong and true, and there is no loss of want or desire. And I know I could never take the crown from the one true sex king *wink* but Sharon and I might give it a try lol.

To me, sex is a very private thing. Intimacy is private and special, reserved for lovers.

Stop having sex with whom?

I've been told that if I blog about sex, I won't be getting any to blog about. I did a post about multiple orgasms once. I didn't even mention specifically that it was about.. oops... Well anyway, Even some of my regular female readers suggested that I not mention such things. And lets face it, it wouldn't be easy for me to blog about my sex life without blogging about hers too.

Talk about sex?!?!?!?!?!?!? OMG! Do people actually do that? Me, I'll be on the patio at Ripcord afterhours!

I have never really been someone who talks a lot about my own sex life. I don't think there is anything wrong with talking about it. It is just one area where I am a bit mum.
