Quick recount says I've had totally crazy good sex with my wife, mediocre sex with my wife, gross horrible sex with my wife, and no sex with my wife. (Been married four times...three wives with a remarry. Two left me, I left one.) Similarly, I've had all these with my girlfriends...from ecstatic to boring. I'm married, but I don't agree with the idea of marriage. My wife, however, does prefer it (although she would have gone on and on without marriage). It's a superficial overlay...when the natural lay would do just fine. Many people find that sex and many other things were better before they got married, than it was awhile after (sometimes a very short while). Dynamics are different, free autonomous spontaneity is sometimes traded (unwittingly and unexpectedly) for commitment, "this for that" conditionality, etc., none of which of the latter is natural or needed. In the reality of it all, no one actually has such a thing as a wife...they simply are with a woman (or other partner)...short term, long term, whatever works for both. All bullshit aside, if someone isn't happy, they'll leave or bring the other to unhappiness (or live a painful lie). Marriage, rather than being the epitome of trust, is a statement of distrust. If you marry me, then I know you'll be there, for better or worse. I can't trust what I see and know in you without a promise in writing. Bummer. How about, I love you, I trust you, I care about you, and I will be with you as well and as much as I can, sharing loving, sharing responsibilities and all that, and will try to make the future for both of us cool...whether we stay together or not...and will try hard not to trash out your life. I realize this thread wasn't about marriage per se...but hey...people could save themselves a lot of grief by not idolizing the idea of marriage. If it works for you, great! But all in all, at its core, it's a man-woman thing, not a marriage thing...or in gay or bi circles whatever combination works for them. I've found no difference sexually just because I'm married to someone. I don't have a need for more than one, but it has simply worked out that way quite a bit of the time. I love my wife, but frankly, she doesn't care for sex much...has lost it so to speak. That does not mean I must become celibate. We enjoy whatever of each other we can, and enjoy whatever else in life we find worthwhile. Take a bite of life...enjoy!
Yes, apart from hot sex, your love and relationship with your wife can make rest of your life amazing. I would not expect anything better thereafter.
over long time of married life and decreasing of sex excitement , the old couples can have te best relationship not for the sex any more but for being much closer felow to each other.
