Reasons why some married couples stop having sex

When a relationship begins, the marriage is still in its infancy, and the sex drive is at an all-time high. There is a sense of excitement in discovering each other, exploring the other, learning more about our own bodies, and you are in that mode to experiment. However, after a few years of marriage, couples reduce the number of times they engage in the act and, in many cases, simply stop. Are you having the same problem? Do you know any couples who have? Here are a few possibilities for the cause!

Routine

Routines are despised by many people. Life becomes a series of daily chores, one of which is sex. If it has become a habit that brushing your teeth after dinner is something you HAVE to or are expected to do, this could be one of the main reasons.

Uninterested

In this case, the excitement has worn off, the lust has faded, and there is no desire for foreplay or seduction. Couples simply become disinterested!

Kids & parents

When there are children and parents in the house, the desire for sex often goes out the window. Privacy concerns arise, and the desire or need gradually fades away. This is the time to plan vacations or couple’s time to avoid suffocating the passion you share.

Birth control pills

Other options should be discussed with your gynecologist. Your sex drive will die if you continue to take these pills. Your libido slows and your frustration rises.

Insecurity

There is a reason why many newlywed couples go to the gym and try to stay fit. Whether they agree out loud or not, it is the insecurity of the body changes that they wish to avoid. It is completely natural for your body to change as you age! You must accept your appearance, as must your partner. If you don’t, work out!
