Do you and your SO still have passion?

KC1984 · Jun 30th, 2008, 10:25 AM

I've been with my partner for a few years & have a daughter 19 months.

We definatly still have the passion - although it changes slightly, i think it becomes a more respectful & intimate passion rather than purley physical but it definatly still there. I think it's important for a couple to make time for each other else you just grow apart. I'm lucky with my partner as we both have busy lives - we both run round 100 miles per hour all day but when we get home - the blackberry goes off & it's us time.

i'm right there with ya! i actually can't really remember if we ever had that "passion" that people talk about. we don't and have never really hugged, cuddled, kissed, held hands....nothing. we didn't really have sex much when we first started dating & it is non-existent now. i have walked around the house with nothing except lingerie & heels......he just looks at me & laughs as if i am joking around.

Oh I definitely know that feeling!! It's like once it hits the 6 month mark *BAM* bye bye sex, LOL. I just didn't feel like it anymore in past relationships either

Can't even explain why

We were never really lovey-dovey, we cuddle when we watch movies and stuff like that, but as far as being all over each other, never that! We dont have sex often(maybe 1 time a week) but thats because my sex drive isnt really high. He on the other hand, wishes we could stay in bed and have sex 24/7

. Although, when we first got together, we were like rabbits for the first year or so

aliciamarie · Jun 30th, 2008, 12:19 PM

We've been together two and a half years and it's still like day one. Granted, two and a half years is nothing in the whole scheme of things but I don't think we'll have "dry spells."

We both have very high sex drives that stress only seems to increase. I'm like "Oh man, my board exam is less than a year away..... I need sex." Hahhaha, maybe I'm just a freak of nature. It's sometimes not super passionate, but it's always loving and it usually happens once a day. I think we would both be sad if that changed. It's something that is important to both of us so we make it a priority.

Like you other girls with cuddlers, my SO also gets grumpy when he hasn't had any cuddles all day.

chessmont · Jun 30th, 2008, 01:29 PM

One of my personality quirks, which I think extends to my sex drive, is I really don't like to be touched, in many different situations.

The thought of a massage grosses me out! Someone I don't know touching me-ugh!

My girlfriends laugh and hug me because they know I hate it. They say I am very reserved. My husband is very touchy-feely and affectionate and I am not. Poor guy...

And the doctor - weell gawd, if I didn't have to for my health, no one would touch me like that!

My hubby gets like that too. I went to the adult store a couple of weeks ago and bought a copy of the Kama Sutra and a few goodies. We didn't use any of it, but somehow my purchases seemed to liven up our bedroom for a few nights. You might try that - they sell couples kits that aren't as intimidating for guys as some of the other toys on the market. And I thought the Kama Sutra would be fun to read together.

I bought a book that my friend recommended about kama sutra and my bf just opened it to look at the "pictures" and didn't get it.
