Some people fret when their loved one doesn't want to have sex as often as they do, but it's important not to panic, and look through the possible explanations, which aren���t really baseless. Be realisticIf you're beyond the first flush of passion that heralds the start of a new relationship, it's common to find that you settle into a pattern where you have sex less frequently.
This is fine, because the quality of lovemaking is much more important than the quantity. You know each other's bodies better, and are more relaxed with one another, which is far more important than putting notches on the bedpost. However, if you've just got stuck in a rut, you could both try making a bit more of an effort.
Be flexible Do not automatically assume the worst ��� that they have gotten over you and want to leave you. As long as they are still being loving towards you and there is no perceptible difference in their behaviour towards you, do not panic. It may not necessarily be a reflection on your prowess as a lover, or your all-round attractiveness. Do remember, there is no set number of times per week that every couple
must have sex, everyone is different. It's quite normal for a person to feel super-hot one month, and less interested the next. Also remember that it is sometimes the person with the higher sex drive who has the problem.
Be attentiveRather than sulk over the drop in the number of times you have sex, show your significant other care and concern. Do hey have something on their mind, are they stressed out at work, or plain unwell? All these things can seriously affect their sex drive, and you should ideally support them. Avoid being childish by turning on the pressure for a romp as it will only make you look selfish. Problems within the relationship usually lead to an angry, neglected or hurt partner withholding sex, whether consciously or subconsciously.
The ���cope��� manual Stay calm and composed and avoid flying off the handle over the situation, as often times, these are only temporary phases. Be gentle and communicate with your partner in a like manner, without making threats or accusations, and you may find that there's a simple reason for any recent changes. If that's the case, work it through together, and be patient. For the time being, you can masturbate to relieve some of the sexual tension.
If things don't get betterAfter honestly trying every trick in the book and abiding by it too, if you feel that things are still not getting better, go for relationship counselling, psychosexual therapy, or a medical check-up. If your other half continues to refuse to discuss the matter, is cold towards you, or won't get help for physical or psychosexual problems, then you need to rethink the relationship.
