Let’s be honest, in long-term relationships, most couples don’t lose desire… they just stop creating it.

2025-12-02 15:23:25 +0000 UTCIt may seem a small thing, but it's not: Sleep together in physical contact, touching as much skin as you comfortably can. Naked, if at all possible. Love aches to be expressed through touch. And touch ignites more love.

2025-12-02 03:14:53 +0000 UTCFor Me I don't find that I am at a loss for wanting to create intimacy with a partner , making love and playing/ having fun with a partner is always a priority , because relationships need a healthy sex life to function properly or better put a healthy sex life is important for physical , mental and spiritual health. some might say it is very therapeutic and holds a holistic value unmatched by anything else . I think it is always needs to be a priority and as a man I should be assertive with a woman in the most romantic and authentic way, possibly take charge . Holding your partners hand while out and about and showing affection with kisses an caresses outside of that moment i important too . What I have found with partners is that they need their man to make them feel safe to let loose . I find the best way to accomplish this is to let them know you are thinking about them . it could be through a text when they are not expecting it, flirty , or seductive . I have many times deferred to dirty texts telling her what I want to do to her , when I get home or tonight . I think that it is equally important to stay engaged in your partners day to day life and help her to feel seen . I also think that it is important to stay connected mentally to the things that initially attracted you to your partner . remind her that you think she is super sexy or hot or even bring attention a part of her body that you really love, I think there are extra points for a guy to tell his partner that you love her shoes or earrings or something else that she is wearing that she doesn't usual wear, and always be a gentleman ( we don't need to give up on our dating vibes or language) . When all else fails having a good conversation about fantasies can be intriguing i think , for most ladies . Some may not even understand that their fantasies are important . Thank you so much for the amazing question Caitlin V :)

2025-12-02 00:43:48 +0000 UTCWife and I are always showing affection for each other. Even with kids you make your partner important! Always show affection. Everyday your partner wants to hear you or long for your touch. All the small things build up your relationship. Caitlin has been amazing in showing the way to a new path to re ignite our passion!

2025-12-01 18:39:38 +0000 UTCMy wife and I have been very busy lately and have let our sex life suffer as a result. Two kids were born in the last two years (2023 & 2024) and we both have our own businesses and other commitments. That said, what has kept the spark alive for us - besides a mutual attraction I suppose - are the little things. She likes to grab my package or pull open my shorts (I work from home and dress pretty casually) to take a look at "the goods". I grab or slap her ass quite a lot. We also flirt and talk dirty as much as we can and we do other things to turn one another one. For example, while getting ready for bed she might strip naked and then grab one of her boobs and lick her nipple for a moment or just grab her own boobs and give them a good squeeze. She is known to bend over and shake her ass at me a little bit. If I am aroused I'll show her my erect penis or begin stroking myself to get hard if we're in the shower together - which always gets her interest. The kids are now getting old enough (2.5 years and 1 year old) that we are beginning to have enough energy and time to have a sex life, again, and I get the sense that it may be as fun - maybe even more so - as before the kids because we managed to keep the candle burning while we have been running the gauntlet.

2025-12-01 16:35:42 +0000 UTCThere are several small things that my wife and I do. We always hold hands, in public or at home, just to feel the other's touch. We kiss each other goodbye and hello if we are going to be apart. Even if it's only briefly. We text each other during the day to say I miss you and we say I love you as much as possible. And finally, we kiss and say I love you every night at bedtime.

2025-12-01 16:08:29 +0000 UTCFor me, it's when we hug. She doesn't wear any perfume because I'm very allergic to any artificial scents. Yet, her natural scent always makes me feel drawn to her, so when I'm close enough to really take it in, my heart races and I can't help but kiss her, hold her tighter, and tell her how much I love her, how much I need her, how much I desire her.

2025-12-01 15:41:39 +0000 UTCI tell my wife how much I love her every day. We always kiss and hug before I head off to work. We've been married 48 years, btw. This was not always the case. I recognized what was happening about 2 years ago and we sat down and had a long talk. I asked her if she wanted to be married or just be good friends? She said married and we've been working on our relationship ever since.

2025-12-01 15:40:03 +0000 UTCIts the moments when I come downstairs with just pajamas on and she gives that look that she wants to be close. Its not always sex but more intimacy building that makes the sex later still hot after 33 years. There was definitely a dry spell in between with life and kids. Caitlin started us down a new path that has been awsome for years. I wish this book was around back then but glad it will help so many men avoid that dry spell.
