If your relationship is suffering from “dead bedroom syndrome,” getting back on fucking track might be easier than you think.
They say getting it is one thing, but keeping it is another. In the beginning, couples can’t stop slobbering all over each other’s naughty bits, but then life steps in and attempts to spoil the fun. There are the kids, careers, and all the stress and exhaustion that come with that madness. Sleep starts outranking intimate moments, and boning takes a backseat. What was once three times a week becomes once weekly, then once a month. Before long, some sad sack is talking to his friends about how he’s looking forward to his birthday—not for the presents, but because it’s the one night a year he and his wife actually have sex. This is what’s known as a “dead bedroom”—a relationship where all the carnality is depleted, and it’s far more common than most people would like to admit.
“Let’s be real, the moment we have two other mouths to feed and nine deadlines all at once, we’re not going to focus on sexuality and intimacy.”
Dr. Jordan Soper
“Many individuals at varied stages of their lives report experiencing high levels of stress and demand, and nearly all of them report corresponding declines in sex with both them and their partners,” Dr. Jordan Soper, licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist, tells HUSTLERMagazine.com. “Let’s be real, the moment we have two other mouths to feed and nine deadlines all at once, we’re not going to focus on sexuality and intimacy.”
