Re: OK-so what IS "normal" after several years (passion wise).
You have to work at it; it just doesn't happen.)
I don't know how long you've been with your current gf -- if your relationship is still pretty new, sure, there's going to be tons of passion and lots and lots of sex. Passion also waxes and wanes and yes, it does drop off when you have been together for awhile.
If you can joke about "bed death" then you can talk about how to fix it.
FIgure out what seems to be sapping your energy. Your ticker indicates small kids - an energy drain if ever there was one or two. Time to start with date nights - not for the purposes of sex but to return to the mindset of being interesting adults. Go to a play, a concert or a nightclub - whatever you did before you were parents and get back in the groove of being yourselves, not someone's parents. I am sure that planning an evening out of fun or stimulation will pay off in the bedroom.
That and new sex toys.
Yuppers.....little kids and she has chronic Lyme so it exhausts her:(
I do notice when we go out or have a fun night we come home and want to get busy, which I assume is "normal" lol.
Totally normal. My partner and I can barely manage sex twice a week at home, but we will have sex nearly every day when we go out of town on a trip or vacation.
I think that the secret to keeping the passion alive is to put effort into being people you would want to f*ck. In my mind, that means staying physically fit, intellectually stimulating and mentally positive.
Normally it's 6-8 times a month.
