Things That Bang

Its believed that sex tends to decrease in long term relationships. There are a whole gamut of reasons why this tends to happen even for those with healthy appetites. Here are a few:

Giving in to the daily grind : Day to day living tends to wear out romance. Work related stress and general fatigue tends to sap people of energy

Electronic distractions : Some people believe that watching tv or being on the net brings them closer. At one level sure it adds to conversation and general companionship but on the other level it put a damper on intimacy.

Children : Kids are like ever ready batteries. They tire parents out and then fall off to sleep

Living with other family members : While joint families have their positive aspects but with people around the chances of having sex say in the middle of the day or early in the night is next to impossible.

Food Habits: The chances of getting lucky after a heavy Indian dinner are unlikely. Generally people either fall off to sleep right away or spend rest of waking hours burping or looking for Tums or Alkaselzers.

Loss of Interest or Laziness: In the end despite all the above factors one can still have an active sex life if the fires are kept burning. People sometimes just lose interest in each other, they forget to flirt with each other and they forget that intimacy keeps the marriage strong. Its called taking each other for granted. Thats when the marriage too becomes functional and boring.

Obviously there are other serious reasons why people stop having sex - there can be medical reasons or marital problems but for those who do want to put the zest back in their sex lives all they need to do is put their mind to it and the rest naturally follows.
