Everything seems better at the beginning of a relationship, but especially the sex.
Youre never too tired or bored eitheryoure almost always in the mood.
But now youve hit a drought.
Whatever the reason, the sex is infrequent or has stopped altogether.
It could be a few weeks or a few months or even a few years.
Yep, youre in the middle of the dry spell.
Dry spells are completely normal whether youre in a relationship or single, whether intentional or not.
It all boils down to how you choose to respond to it as an individual and as a couple.
What causes a dry spell in a relationship?
Dry spells often happen after the honeymoon phase in relationships.
They become a part of your routine to the point that sex gets boring, she says.
So why is sex necessary in our relationships?
Sex is a vital part of life.
In relationships, having sex increases the levels of intimacy, trust, and love between partners.
Having regular sex improves a couples ability to perceive and identify their partners emotions.
But either way, you must communicate to your partner next.
I cant stress the importance of being open with your partner enough.
Moreover, communicating with your partner regularly helps you feel closer.
Also, it relieves couples from talking to each other about anythingthe good and the bad.
So how do you broach such a subject?
Moore cautions against starting the conversation with your partner if your emotions are high.
Youll only end up saying hurtful things to them that you cant take back and end up regretting.
Dont be afraid to say something in the present.
Something like, This has been a struggle for me.
This approach allows couples to really express how they feel about the situation and with each other.
Dont rush things, and dont expect that youll immediately go from zero sex to five times a day.
Instead, she suggests focusing on quality time and quality sex with your partner.
What might also help reignite the spark is remembering how your courtship first started.
Dont be afraid to go back to basics.
Go on a date, and make conversations.
The touching part can always follow, as well as kisses, hugs, and cuddles.
Remember, each act shouldnt always end up with sex.
Do whatever makes you feel comfortable at the moment.
or do you want to play?
If youve reached this point in your relationship, you have to cultivate intimacy on a much deeper level.
And by trying something new together, youll be surprising yourselves each time.
So again, take it slow and be patient with your partner.
Do whats comfortable for you at the moment.
If you only feel like hugging or kissing one day, then feel free to do so.
If you feel like doing it roughly the next day, so be it.
And if you just feel like cuddling and talking about random things, do those, too.
At the end of the day, its the bond you share with your partner that matters most.
