A&E's Resident Sex Expert Continued

I can remember a time when she wanted it so much I didn't know if I could keep up. Sometimes I feel like she just isn't attracted to me anymore - it's not like I gained alot of weight or something. I just don't know what to do anymore. Any ideas? Oh and don't know if this matters or not but we are both about 28.

Sincerely,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

There are many reasons your sex life with your wife may have waned. There is the common explanation that very few couples can sustain the level of romanticism and affection they had early on simply because there are not enough hours in the day and variables like kids and jobs aren't conducive to the afternoon delight you may have had on a regular basis before.

What concerns me here is the lack of overall intimacy that you are pointing out. This includes hand holding, random kisses other physical contact that often keeps relationships afloat when the sex itself runs a bit dry. It sounds like you are trying to talk it out but you need to go deeper. A flat "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it here. I sincerely doubt attraction is an issue either. There may be some other underlying psychological issue your wife hasn't dealt with or a physiological issue like hormone problems or depression.

I am suggesting three options for your next step here. 1) Lower your expectations for the moment. Sex now will probably never be exactly as it was but it does sound like it could be reasonably be better. 2) Sit down with your wife and have a deeper discussion about this. Does she sense anything else is going on with herself? Talk about being more affectionate (less stress than more sex right away) and see how she feels. 3) Get thee to an expert. If things don't improve even a little, I would suggest she get a medical work up for her hormones and that you both see a local therapist to work out the details. Go to www.aasect.org for more info.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kat

Candidly Speaking By Candida Royalle Continued

it's important to pay attention to her body language so that if she is on her way to a wild finish, then you know you'd best not stop! It's equally important that she communicate her needs so that you're not constantly playing a guessing game.

Men don't always need to climax either, especially as they exit their 'urgent' '20's and mature in to more sensitive lovers. Growing older is challenging, but one of the rewards is that sex evolves and develops in to a far more varied expression of feelings and desires. Rather than remaining a linear and often predictable pattern of activities - a little kissing, squeezing of the breasts and nibbles of the nipples, some oral sex before getting to what's usually considered the ‘main event' - those who continue to grow learn that making love is like choosing from variety of offerings, like a buffet, and in no set pattern. It's important to shake things up and occasionally surprise your partner with something other than what usually comes next. Think about how boring it would be to sit down for dinner every night knowing exactly what you're going to eat because it's the same meal every night! Doing the same thing all the time inevitably leads to boredom in the bedroom, and might even lose its ability to get you to that almighty orgasm.

So stop worrying about whether or not your woman - or your man - has climaxed, and instead think about throwing a few surprises in to the mix. You just might be in for a few surprises yourself!
