After the honeymoon
Hi! My name is Tiffany. I just joined today. Got married June 18th 2011. I'm really just trying to see how this site works. Anywho, our honeymoon we went on was a cruise to Mexico. (We live in Florida). It was soooo much fun. I found that sex was so much more exciting and so much more of it. How long does this last?
Re: After the honeymoon
Every couple is different.
Remember not to believe everything you hear or read about newlyweds and how sex happy they are and how they're humping away every five minutes.:)
Have a look at this board. There are newlyweds who aren't having that much sex; there are couples married awhile who are in sexual ruts.
To me there is a rule of thumb: If you are happy with the number of times you are having sex with your spouse and he is happy with the number of times he is having sex with you then you're both doing okay.:) If you're both satisfied, you have a satisfactory sex life.:)
Communication is key. Remember to keep that door open; don't be shy. If you have a suggestion, a gripe or an issue, that's what your spouse is there for: to discuss it with.:)
Welcome Tiffany and congrats! I am a newlywed too... I got married on July 17. We got back from our honeymoon in the Bahamas a week ago. I lived with my H as well for a year before marriage, so we are having the same amount of sex as before, but I agree that it is more exciting, just knowing that we are husband and wife. For us, it's mostly about communicating with eachother about our sexual needs, and that has really improved our sex life so we can make sure we are both satisfied. Just keep communicating with each other- if one of you isn't happy with how much sex you are having or what kind (as in what positions or certain kinds of foreplay) just make sure to talk about it and be honest. Sometimes talking about sex with my H can still be awkward, but we've gotten to a point where we can both joke about it and have honest conversations. I hope this makes sense and I'm not just rambling.
Congrats again, fellow newlywed, and welcome!
