The music of those lighthearted days has long since ceased. The motorcycle is gone, and she hasn't put on her dancing shoes since the kids came along. Now, this couple has two delightful children, a dog, a cat, one car, a house, and full-time jobs. For many people, the carefree lifestyle of youth usually diminishes as couples become steeped in work, children, and responsibility. For most, the likes of clubbing and motorcycling take a back burner to other priorities.
Life changes as couples work together to develop a stable and happy family.
And as the responsibilities augment, the sexual intensity may be reduced to a simmer, but it needn't cool down altogether. QueenDom's survey on passion helped to pinpoint the extent to which those potentially fulfilling, but trying aspects of adult life muffle the music of sexual passion. Too much work and not enough play takes the zing out of sexual relationships. A night of dancing to Latin music might put you in the mood for some sweaty, rhythmic sex. But mopping, cooking, changing diapers, greeting thousands of customers, selling insurance, or laboring away in the office are not daily pastimes that put sex on the forefront of your mind.
