What You Should Know
- Sexual desire and satisfaction can change depending on outside factors and the state of the relationship. It could also be caused by deeper problems, like marital problems, anxiety, depression, or other issues and challenges.
- At the start of a new relationship, sex might be great, but it will change over time. It may happen less often or be easier to predict. Moreover, bodies and interests evolve, influencing sexual satisfaction.
- At some point in their lives, most people lose interest in sex and satisfaction. For example, when partners have kids and start a family, their sex life can be very different. It's helpful to know that relationships go through different stages.
- Being under constant stress can make sex less enjoyable. When you're stressed, your body makes cortisol, and if you're stressed for a long time, your libido may go down.
- Some people can't feel good things, which is called anhedonia. If you have trouble enjoying sex in general, it will be harder to enjoy it.
Change Now
Talk to each other: Give and get feedback, and ask your partner how they feel about their sexual experiences. Don't blame or criticise; just be honest.
Reconnect: If sex starts to feel like work, stop doing it and focus on connecting emotionally instead. Do yoga, meditate, or go for a walk together to enjoy each other's company without having sex.
Talk to a professional. A therapist can help you deal with your sexual desire and satisfaction.
