Why Do Couples Lose Sexual Intimacy?


The world is full of married, dating, live-in, and just casual relationships where, as far as the bedroom is concerned, things have gone pretty dull. It's not really either partner's fault, but it can be pretty unnerving when you look back on your early days and see that, comparatively, where you are now doesn't quite match up. Well, the good news, in a manner of speaking, is that there is no single secret behind steamy sex, or the lack thereof. Check out these most common reasons behind a lack of sexual performance and drive.
lack of sexual performance and drive


Stress — Stress is the biggest blow to a great sex life. Ever had those days when both you and your significant other collapse into bed with strength for nothing else but sleep? Then you know what I'm talking about. When the going gets tough, often sex gets going—but, sadly, in the opposite direction. Of course, it's not the end of the world, and there are ways of dealing with it and overcoming stress together.

Illness — Okay, it's perfectly normal for a woman to complain of a headache or illness on certain days. It's not always because she's trying to put you off. Well...maybe, but it's still best to give the benefit of the doubt. While your body is concentrating on healing itself lower libido is completely normal. Take half time. Get well first. Try again later or when she decides to get things going.

Low Self Esteem — It's pretty common for most women and even men to lose their zest for exercise and looking good once they settle down to marry or live together. The feelings of having found security in another person's love and presence tends to make us lose our focus on looking good. We tend to let exercise hours slip by, and eating out or eating more becomes common place. Once this happens we stop feeling that same confidence about our body that we did when we first met our partner. Low self esteem and wanting to hide your body from your partner is usually what follows and leads to a considerable dip in sexual activity. While it's okay to enjoy life and feel the confidence of someone else's love, don't let that make you lose your own confidence. After all, if you don't love yourself first no one else will. Take the time to stay fit, confident, and in control of your body. One unique way of doing this might even be going to the gym with your partner, going dancing, or taking a yoga class together.

ED — While this doesn't have anything to do with the sexual desire of a man, it does have a lot to do with his performance. Erectile Dysfunction is far more common in men than a lack of libido is. A recent study showed that for every 15 men with ED only 1 had low libido. The basic difference is that a man with a lack of libido is able to maintain an erection, but he doesn't have the desire to do anything with it. For a man who has ED, he can't maintain an erection, no matter how hard he may try. While ED can stem from a multitude of reasons, there are cures. If after consulting your doctor about the matter it is confirmed that you do have a problem with ED, then it's fairly easy to buy Viagra online. The added benefit of ordering Viagra online is that you don't have to worry about finding which pharmacies you can purchase it from. When it's online it's pretty confidential and discreet. But again, don't just jump to Viagra to try and make things better. Talk about it with your partner first, discuss it with your doctor, and then make a well balanced well educated decision.
