Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
In the beginning wedding, couples often go through a phase popularly referred to as “honeymoonDuring this phase, everything feels new, exciting, and there is a lot of passion between you and your partner for sex.
But when this phase ends, the excitement seems to be gone, and some couples start to face problems in their bed.
It’s natural for couples to become less intimate with each other over a period of time. Yet no physical intimacy at all is a sign of trouble.
Here are some of the most common reasons sex in marriage is no longer exciting.
1. Childbirth or menopause
Caring for a newborn is always stressful. This stress, along with bodily changes, fatigue, and decreased hormone levels, greatly affects a woman’s sex drive.
Moreover, menopause also affects hormonal levels, which is why there is a strong correlation between menopause and sexless marriage.
2. Sex drive is different
As reported Times of India, it is impossible for both partners to be the perfect match in terms of their sex drive.
For couples whose sex drives don’t match, finding the fine line between satisfying each other’s needs and not forcing them to be physically intimate is key.
But if you have a sex drive but don’t do it, this can be a problem.
3. Health problems
Many couples end up in a marriage without sex due to various health problems. And impotence is the most common of them.
Men who struggle with erections tend to become anxious and confused, which affects their self-esteem and desire to have sex.
Another cause of sexless marriages is depression, which makes people lose interest in life completely.
4. Communication problems
It is necessary to express your sexual desire to your partner. When one or both partners are dissatisfied, and there is a need for change, it is very important to make sure the other half knows it.
5. Drug side effects
Many prescription drugs come with side effects that can harm sexual activity.
In this case, it is best to consult a doctor to see if you are correct about your suspicions and if any, ask for an alternative that can be prescribed instead.
