when does the intense shagging honeymoon period end

[FedUpWithJudgementalPeople]

When you are in a new relationship?

Just interested in folk's experiences.

Have been with bf for a year and tbh feel like we are just getting going (woo!) rather than it tailing off or anything.

But had largely sexless LTR previously so am very conscious that it can/ does happen.

I think it just goes in phases - I came off POP last year after a crap really stressful time when I just couldn't be bothered. Back in can't keep my hands or thoughts off him phase and we're nearly 14 years in (so hoping this lasts quite some time!)

When you've has kids. :-(

About three years.

I don't think it's so much a period of time but more circumstance.
Having babies and young children, using hormonal contraception, work and other stresses - all put pressure on relationships that can affect a couple's sex life.
I think it changes over time. We have sex less regularly than we did when we first met, but the quality of the sex is better so I think our sex life has improved dramatically over the years.

I've been with my fella now for ten months, and our sex life is amazing.

There are complicating factors though - 8 children between us, we live 40 miles apart and can only see each other a couple of times a month. We talk daily though.

We're still in the 'can't keep our hands off each other' stage though. Long may it last!

Been together 2.5 years. We don't live together though. Our sex life is still very strong but I think it's the fact that we only see each other a few times a week that keeps the spark alive.

I'm not sure that 10 years counts as a new relationship, but we're still going at it like rabbits. From what I've been reading though that's going to change in a few months :(

Over 2 years of living together for us when i didn't want to dtd every night.

But having dc really knocks the nails into the coffin...

I don't think it's a specific time period, it's more stages in your life as a couple that change your sex life.
When I first met DH, we were both in the military (different branches and different stations) so we only saw each other at weekends....we barely left his bed, or wore clothes from about 5pm on a Friday to 3pm on a Sunday when I had to leave to travel back to where I was stationed.
Then when I was pregnant, my sex drive was through the roof....
Now DD is 7mo and not a great sleeper, so we are lucky if we have the energy to have sex once a week.
We are still very much in love...it's just sex requires a lot of physical effort which neither of us are willing to put in very often! Sleep is more important these days!!
But I definitely think once kids are grown up and out of the house, it all gets going again in the bedroom....if my parents are anything to go by anyway they are currently on their 5th dirty weekend away this year

I don't think there is a time period but more circumstances. I have been with my oh for 5 years and we go through phases of less sex, when our son was born and currently our son(2) is now really battling bedtime so we get little time together etc. Doesn't really affect our relationship, we are really happy together. It's just one of those things, it soon picks up again.

7 years together we were still on that honeymoon sagging period until a few weeks ago when I hit the third trimester of pregnancy...trust me not because I don't want it more that we can't accommodate our usual positions haha FX we get back ti normal soon! Enjou
