The result of a study conducted by University of Toronto was published in the Social, Psychological and Personality Science last year. It shows that people who are in a long-term romantic relationship often indulge in sex to keep their partners happy. The happiness and gratification of the partner means a lot to them. They understand the importance of sex to keep a relationship going smooth.
It is natural for long-term partners to lose interest in sex. After a certain time period sex can become a routine and it does not interest the partners to participate in the same old routine anymore. Under such circumstances, the partners should strive harder to bring back the sparks.
When two people are connected on an emotional level, they also tend to connect on a physical level. In a stable relationship, sex is not a medium of reaching orgasm but rather it is a way to stay connected with the partner. It is like a private communication that couples need for expressing themselves.
Many individuals agree to have sex so that their partners do not feel upset. Serious couples can take several small and big steps for reviving their sex life. After many years of togetherness, both partners may find sex boring. Do not let this happen. We have only one life, so celebrate a bit.
Never stop exploring yourself. If you are an interesting person then naturally your partner will be on his toes to please you.
Do not nag or complain about your dwindling and shriveling sex life. Instead, try to make your partner see how you feel inside. Share your feeling and let them know that you are missing them. Often partners start avoiding sex because of excessive stress. It becomes a dull chore, which they dread.
Try to spend quality time together and snuggle more. Do not burden your partner with sexual expectations or else they will distance themselves unknowingly from you. Sex therapists advice couples to open up and talk more. Understanding each other without playing the blame game can help the two of you engage in intimate activities. After all communication is the key to all big problems.
Summary:
Sex is an integral part of a long-term relationship. You should be considerate about your partner’s needs and try different techniques of rejuvenating your sex life.
