How long does the lust-crazed part of a new relationship last?

[DoorToDecember]

It's been 7.5 months and I still crave him like mad. Everything feels so lovely and intense, I don't want this stage to stop!

So, MN, how long does this part last?

Bump :-)

8 months.

Yes 8 months.

Well, I'm 10 months in, and still going strong :). Don't expect it to be as intense after probably, the first year, but different iuswim.

About a year.

I'm nearly 2 years in and get total lust feelings lasting a few days at a time quite often. Think the continuous feeling has probably worn off now though

Until you get pregnant ;)

I've been seeing someone on and off for years and we're still in the lust phase. :) I think the 'on and off' bit definitely helps keep things lively.... 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' but 'familiarity breeds contempt'.

About two or three years.

Until you live together.

90 days!

There is an old wisdom that says if you put a penny in a jar every time you get jiggy in the first three months, and take one out every time you get jiggy after the first three months, you will still have pennies in the jar after your first year!

About three and a half weeks left.

until you have children? And then priorities naturally change to practical things like survival and sleep.

There's a very old saying (from the days when people waited to be married) that said if you put a penny in a jar every time you have sex during the first year of marriage and take a penny out every time after the first year, you will never empty the jar

Apparently it's around 18 months if you believe some articles.

I think it's around 18 months.
I was glad when it ended as I felt sick sometimes and anxious I'd never cope if it went wrong.
Been 7 yrs now but I still feel lustful quite often

Hmm am still having sex as much as in the first 3 months which is good :)

I think when we do live together it will change things although we won't be having children together so at least that part won't happen

I like the old saying NearTheWindyMill

I'd say about 18 months.

Nearthewindmill, the version of that I know is that if you put a marble in a jar every time in the first 6 months, then take one out every time after that, the jar will never ever be empty!

In my experience - Anything from 40 minutes to 6 years.

Actually, the lust never did wear off for XH2 and me, we just had to face the fact you can't make a relationship out of body parts. I might have noticed what a bastard he was, if I hadn't let my vagina do the thinking

FairyLea Until you live together

Hahaha I hope this isn't true!

It's gone in cycles for us. We've been together 20 years and are nearly 2 years into the latest cycle of lust

I second cogito....i've been on/off for nearly 3 years.....still almost illegally lusty i will never live with him tho....

I'm 11 months and 2 days in and we are still at it like knives
