MODERATORS
This is bullshit honestly. I have been married for almost 30 years. For 27 years we had sex pretty much everyday. Then my wife had to get her ladybits rearranged by a doctor due to a bladder prolapse and went through early menopause.
We still have regular sex, but not everyday anymore.
When research is done, there usually is a margin of error. None of what I say is my opinion but based on studies that I mention.
Don't know why Im getting downvoted.
For the record, I had no part in that research nor participated (its like decades old btw) so please don't ask further questions or disagrements or personal anecdotes. I just shared some pointers for people who are interested to learn more about this. Im not there representative in any way shape or form
I didn't down vote you, and I wouldn't take it personally.
I was just offering the typical anecdotal experience challenging misconception. This is probably worth less than good research.
What a flex
I think it is important to dispell the belief that intimacy fades with time. There are circumstances that no one can control like I experienced, but for the most part there is no reason other than choice for intimacy to go away over the years.
