I'm a happily married woman, been married for 14 years, and I am still attracted to my husband, and he to me, and we have two kids in the preteen years.
Sometimes we're just plain tired from work and responsibilities, but that's just acknowledged as what it is... fatigue, not lack of interest. I just wish we had the energy/time/privacy, etc. to do it more often.
We had a fun sex life before we married, we still have fun. Have our bodies changed, yes. Have our energy levels changed, yes. But that's just part of growing older, and that's going to happen with whoever you choose.
Who are these women who stop having sex with their husbands and why? If it was good once, it should still be good. If their husbands aren't satisfying them, why can't they tell them what to do? I think most men want to know what their partner likes, dislikes, etc.
Are these just stereotypes of marriage? I just don't understand.
