Normal to not be bothered about sex?

So the title says it all really.
DP and I have been together 5 years- expecting our first child any day and very happy in our relationship. Couldn't imagine being happier with anyone else.
We both have very low libidos and can go 6 months + without any sex and it really doesn't bother either of us.
I often check in with him to make sure he isn't bothered and he genuinely isn't!
We are still a very affectionate couple and tactile.
I was wondering if there are many other couples out there like this as I always see relationships where sexual appetites aren't equal and it can cause unhappiness.

I'm 24, and genuinely couldn't care less- i hardly every have the urge, and when I do, its easily ignored as never very strong- no hormone problems as had them checked with GP, just very little interest!
so i'd think that if you are both compatible in that way that neither of you mind then not to worry - Congratulations on the pregnancy too!! FlowersFlowersFlowers

If it works for you both there isn't an issue, there are other expressions of intimacy in the relationship too, which is good.

Tactile, affectionate and communicating openly checking in on each other's needs...Sounds positive to me.

Congratulations and best wishes FlowersSmile

I think that sounds ideal. There are so many threads on here where couples are dissatisfied and incompatible.

I'm the same. I loved it in my teens but not since early 20s. I couldn't care less if i never shagged again. I'm 45.
I just can't understand it, I was rampant in my teens.
