Dry Spell Sexually In A Relationship

All long term relationships are full of ups and downs and changes as time goes on Once the excitement of the first few years wears off some couples can find themselves in a sexually dry spell where the sex just literally stops.

Reasons why a Sexually Dry Spell happens in relationships sex life

 Relationship conflict/ intimacy issues

Often time when there is conflict in a relationship sexual activity takes a back seat. Also partners with intimacy issues can surface once the relationship has progressed. If one of the partners has a mental blockage or is transferring bad emotions from a previous relationship your sex life will most definitely suffer.

 New baby

It’s very common for couples to go through a sexual dry spell with the arrival of a new baby. Many men are not comfortable with having sex while their wife is pregnant. Also after the baby comes it can be hard to fit in intimate moments with all of the responsibilities of an infant.

 Loss of interest

This one can be tricky and probably the most dangerous. First the sex starts out every week multiple times, then it goes down to once a week, then to every other week, then every other month (you get the pattern.) Before you know it you are no longer sexually attracted to your mate the same way you were in the beginning.
