I'd have to say, I did lose it for a little bit, but I lost a child and had a lot of health issues, now that I am on the road to happiness my sex drive is higher than ever!!

Mine slowly died during marriage between my ex keeping it celibate, him policing my access to anything sexy, and me being on anti-depressants.

It came back full force the day after we separated ... my FWB walked funny for three days afterward.

I did not - my wife on the other hand did. I think she viewed sex as an obligation - not something 'good girls' enjoyed. When the kids came along, they were the perfect excuse. Luckily in her 40s she got over it.

My husband is 52 and has no real sex drive. I am 42 and at my peak. THIS SUCKS!!!!

Not after marriage but definitely did after having kids. At least for me, it was dead! It has started to come around and I think I am beginning to peak. Maybe because the kids are not as young anymore or maybe it's time for my peak. Hubby is thrilled. It's been far too long!

It's not always a spicy as I would like it to be, but we have an active sex life and I love it.

I'm not married but I don't see how marriage could change a sex drive.

It's certainly not as desperately passionate as when we were living hundreds of miles apart (except when one of us has to travel for work), but we now have a MUCH better understanding of each others' needs and desires. Overall, it's definitely better.

We did go through a rough patch a couple of years ago, when I injured myself (skiing) and took months to recover. I stopped exercising, and found my libido plummeted. And a few months ago, my wife's work was just insane; she wasn't getting enough sleep and had zero interest in sex for a few weeks (which sucked!). But as long as we're both physically active and well-rested, all's well.

Some days/weeks/months are better than others. My husband never has lost it, but I am not nearly as horny as I was when we met in college.

Sadly yes. After 45 years and then I found out the high blood pressure medication killed my desire. For some reasong the last few months it has come back with a bang. Now health problems stop my husband and financial issues hold us back. Thus I am trying to use the toys to help myself.

When I'm super busy and stressed out it does wane, but then things find an even keel and we're back at it again. I think it's more about just being crazy tired than about being married.

Not at all. I think he is the hottest thing. I would do him all the time, but alas I must work and take care of all the other stuff life brings. He is a wonderful person and I love him for so much more than sex. Sex is definitely the most fun part though.

In my first marriage my sex drive plummeted. He was very mean and verbally abusive. He was also very lazy and did nothing around the house. It is hard to get desire up for someone you do not respect and is putting you down.

Since we've been together our sexual relationship has slowly declined. The quality is still top notch, but the quantity is lacking. I'm way more sexual than him, now or ever. Thank God, for dildos and vibrators...that's all I'm saying. lol

Yes, lots of things in life can cause your libio to wax and wane. Stress, hormone issues, having children, working a lot, etc.

My husband and I have been married for 18 yrs. When we were first married our love life was great, then I had children and with each one I think they took the energy of out me. My youngest is 6yrs old and she had been born with complex medical conditions so for a long time, up until recently , like three weeks ago recently that I've come back to full swing and then some. LOL

The most important thing is that you love each other. Moods change, libios change, but in the end as long as you love each other, that won't change.

True, life is usually easier when you're just dating.
