Involuntarily having no sex

I think question to ask is why is it so much more to you?

In my hubby’s and experience is it’s no longer about the O. What we prioritized was the intimacy outside of sex and the O. We cuddle, we kiss, we will just lay there together for skin to skin without sex. We communicate. We are vulnerable with each other mentally, emotionally and physically.

We stopped putting emphasis on sex/release.

This is huge for us creating the stronger committed relationship. there are ways around not having sex but just being with each other, building that deeper connection and intimacy.
For us this the intimacy we both desire and appreciate on a far deeper level. It’s safe, it’s comforting/soothing. It’s more connected, loving and neither of feel rejected or neglected.
We have gone back to the basics and gone vanilla. It comes down to perspective and priorities in the relationship.

I’m just hoping explaining our experience may help a little.

 

It's part of life. The best thing you could do is channel your energy into providing, mentally, emotionally, financially, for your growing family. New challenges are good for growth .
