Is it normal to have less sex after getting married?

So I got married a few months back and I've been having less and less sex with my wife. I've been thinking maybe this is due to getting married, but then again maybe it's all the weed I've been smoking. Is it normal to have less sex within the first year of marriage?

    You should be having it all the time, still in the honeymoon stage.

  • Yes its normal... when your dating sex is typically that ultimate step (I'm assuming sex b4 marriage). When your married you begin this journey together.... marriage isn't about sex.... if that were true everyone would get married... marriage is about commiting to someone other than yourself... you concentrate on getting to know the person and growing with them... sure sex isan important part of that... but with this new life together... sex may not be as important... you have already commited to one another. : D CONGRATULATIONS.

  • Don't listen to Ollie or that Tygerskanke, they are morons as they show time and time again on my stories. To answer your question, yes it is normal.

    My fiance is pregnant and we are both away from home quite a bit with her working and me desperately looking so we do have far less sex now than before. It doesn't help that due to her pregnancy, she is far too sensitive down below to enjoy it.

    The important thing is that although I have thought about it in the past, I don't want to cheat on her and I know her well enough to know she won't cheat as well.

    She loves me for me and that is fine. Sex isn't everything but we are still close by cuddling and being nice to the other. Now things may change soon as I will be working a scheduled job with a secure schedule as well as her finishing up with her pregnancy in a few months.

    Sex comes and goes but if you married for the right reasons, it won't matter much and it will come back. Worst case schenario, just tell her how much you miss having sex and have a good conversation over it.

    Due to our society being somewhat Victorian, prudish, and generally down on natural human sexuality, very often less frequent sex after marriage is an unfortunate fact of life for many married partners.
    One anaylist refers to the practice by wives as being "sex rationing" with love making events only allowed when the husband has performed to her liking and that situation alone is the reason for 70% of all divorces.
    The other posibility would be that perhaps you are putting less effort into love making than you did while it was a dating relationship.
    Wine, soft music, candle light, a gentle back rub at the end of a busy day....
    Everything worth while requires a little effort.

    I don't think it is normal. My wife and I made love at least 4-5 times/wk in our first year. However now it is 4-5 times per month. The amount of sex we have is directly proposrtional to how I show my love and how I pay attention to her. She needs attention, talking and love and I need respect and sex. If I give her what she wants then she gives me what I need and 50% of the time she gets to enjoy a climax as well. To me Pot should enhance it if she is ok with it.

    yes, it has to do with both of you feeling like "hey ive got 'em why bother trying"

    which is a bad thing, but it happens to alot of people. try talking about it with her. i bet she has noticed it too

  • Yes it is normal. My fiance and I work two entirely different shifts and we rarely see each other, so we had to cut down on the frequency of sex. It is fine though and make sure that quality is at least good.

    I dont think you are loser for smoking weed,I dont think that has anything to do w/it.My husband is very hard working and he smokes,I never have to pay any bills or worry about any for that matter, anyways, that doesnt make you a bad husband, when I first got married we had less sex too, but you have so much going on, just dont argue about the little things or say things you cant take back, and do little things to let her know you love her, pick her up something on the way home, kiss on her, tell her she is beautiful, how sexy she is, and you have to spend time w/her when you can,tell her you dont know what you would to w/o her, those thing are a turn on for women.Also, make sure you are pleasing her in bed EVERYTIME , you do that and i promise you, everytime you say I am tired I am going to bed, she will be right behind you.I am telling you!What you do with this imformation is totally up to you.

    Is the weed more important than the lady? Treat her like a queen and you will be the king.

    You need to lay off of the weed and spend more time romancing your bride! Remember why you two got marred in the first place. Try writing her a poem or love letter. Try getting a lot of candles and light them up in the bedroom get a sex game or some sex toy's like a vibrator or dildo or mabye a hot oil candle that can be dripped on her body. Try and spice it up mabey some warming lube or you can blind fold her and get nasty or kinky. Women want romance and kinky sex. Men most of them just want to cum. try new kinky and different way's of making each other horny or cum. Try melting candle wax on each other. or lighting matches near each other fire can be very erotic as long as you don't get to close. well good luck man and there are a lot of sex sights and shops on the net to try too./
