Your sex-intoxicated mind gradually sobers up and returns to work, responsibility, and the other aspects of this new relationship. And soon enough those last, hazy remnants of your inebriated self straighten up and soon you start to see things clearly again. If the relationship continues past this point, the sex continues, but at a different tempo. QueenDom's survey reveals that passion does see a general decline over the course of time. Men tend to be slightly more aware of this gradual degeneration than women and there are certain periods within a relationship that mark a dip in sexual satisfaction.
People are most enthusiastic about sex within the first year of their relationships.
Considering the all-consuming power of sexual infatuation, this is understandable. As the relationship progresses, people tend to be progressively less exuberant. The first noticeable dip in sexual satisfaction occurs 3-5 years into the relationship. This seems to be the time frame in which infatuation and delirious lovemaking subsides. Lovers blink, rub their eyes, and the fog parts.
