Are you worried that your sex life with your partner will fizzle out the longer you’re married? Fear not, my friends! Contrary to popular belief, you can still have a healthy and satisfying sex life even after many years of marriage.
According to research, couples who have been married for over 20 years report higher satisfaction with their sex life. And guess what? The sexual satisfaction only gets better with time! In fact, a study published in the Journal of Sex Research found that couples who have been together for more than 15 years actually experience an increase in sexual satisfaction.
But even better than that, another study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior found that married couples in their 50s and 60s were having more sex and enjoying it more than their counterparts in their 40s!
Isn’t that incredible? But how do you make sure you keep the spark alive? We’ve got a few tips for you!
First things first, communicate openly and honestly with your spouse about your sexual desires and fantasies. Don’t be shy, people! Your partner is not a mind reader, so it’s important to have these conversations to keep things exciting.
Secondly, don’t be afraid to try new things in the bedroom. Whether it’s booking a night at a hotel, exploring new positions or locations, or roleplaying, there are so many ways to spice things up.
Thirdly, don’t forget the importance of physical affection outside of the bedroom. Holding hands, cuddling, or kissing can help strengthen the bond between you and your partner.
Last but not least, have fun! Sex is supposed to be enjoyable, so don’t take it too seriously. Laugh, be silly, and enjoy each other’s company.
So there you have it, folks. Your sex life doesn’t have to be doomed after marriage.
