And those living with their girlfriends, I have a question:

Is it true that when you move in together the sex drops off?

My friend (now engaged and living with his girlfriend for 2 years) told me that at first it is great because there aren't boundaries or worries about someone coming home and catching you.

But, after the first month or so, the times a month drops drastically because it is no longer a rush, and there is always something to do (I.E. work or school).

He told me this when I told him I was thinking about moving in with my girlfriend next year.

Should this be a concern, and should I hold off moving in together?

Just trying to figure this out on a slow night.....:D

TBH I don't think it has anything to do with the "Moving in together" thing. After you have been together for a while it just drops off period.

I think it probably slows down a bit after a while. No longer a novelty.

But if you're considering moving in with your girlfriend, there are far more important things to think about...

Just noticed your 20 years old. Want some serious advice?
Until you are 110% sure this is the women you want to spend the rest of you're life with, Don't do it! You are way too young, IMHO, to settle down for one person.
Play the field for a while. It's a lot of fun while you're a kid.

I know, I'm young, but then again, we have been together for 3 years, and thought maybe next year would be a good time, but I'm still not sure.

And for right now, I don't want to play the field because I have been with her for awhile and we both love each other.

Even though it sounds like the good times would drop off :( .

OH hells yeah! It definately drops off drastically..at first its like 2-3 times aday and then it naturally drops just because you've been together for so long and its kinda gets old ya know, you will probably start thinking and wondering about something new and we know what I mean when I say something ok guys don't be a silly sally! Anyways, so right there its drops and yes woman think like we do trust me cause if they didn/t then the sex wouldn't drop fellas. I mean I am not Dr. Drew or anything this ain't loveline however at least thats how it is for me I am speaking for myself I guess. Then when you move it OMG! It gets worse then when you have kids..shoot shes always tired or at least thats the excuse I get..I say to keep things fresh a married couple should have sex at least once a week at least.

My advice first of just keep the girlfriend and DO NOT move in unless you plan to marry her, just have fun and see where things go!

Okay,

1. I have heard there are a lot of fish in the SEA :silly:

2. I have no intention to ever go to Vegas, and I wouldn't want to (just my own morals and such).

3. I know there are other fish in the sea, but I love her, even though I know her flaws, and she is beautiful inside and out - plus I have converted her to a Skins fan :D , and I can't see life without her by my side.

I'm gonna go with some of the folks in here....yes...it can drop off. But as some have said, it isn't necissarily just getting married that does it. After being together for a long time, it just naturally drops off. Usually b/c of time constraints....just "growing up" and getting busier in life.
And I will echo zoony's comment about apres-kids. It does go down drastically after that....at first. Eventually (well, at least for me), the frequency increased after everyone got into their "routine".

I hear a lot of people complain about never getting it after they get married. I will submit it isn't at the 2-3 times a day stage anymore, but I would say we still enjoy each other's company quite a lot! :D

Before I was married, a married friend of mine (female, nonetheless) told me that she heard that if you put a piece of candy in a big jar every time you have sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend/fiance until you get married, and then, after the wedding, you take one piece out everytime you have sex AFTER the "I do's", that it will take several years to get to the last of the candy, even if it only took you one year to fill the jar.

I tried this when I started dating my wife. We dated for two years before we got married (had known eachother and been very good friends for years before dating), and in year four of the marriage I think we are almost halfway through the jar of candy. So, take it for whatever that's worth.

I would wait a couple more years to move in with your woman guy. You change so much as a person during your late teens - early 20's.

I'm sure you have found out by now from reading other posts that sex drops off after you get married or move in together. It's just a normal part of life.

OK, for a guy that married at 22 and is now a father of three at 40, the sex IS BETTER NOW then it was when we met at 19 and 18.

Point is that if you love her and YOU ARE SURE that she is the one (sorry for the caps, just for emphasis) Patience is a virtue. My Lovely wife and I had some nasty arguments after marriage, but (and this sounds corny) but DON"T go to bed mad at each other. It only festers the disagreement.

A relationship like mine is rare (and sad) in today's society.

On a truly selfish pont, I told my sweetie that if she cuts me off I WILL find it elsewhere. NEVER was an issue. Experience seemed to work

Good luck :2cents:

What bothered me when the wife and I got married at 22 and21 was the questions from my buds. "Did you knock her up?" Nope. We got married b/c we were in love.

The point I was trying to make to our young friend was if he loves her, be prepared to work at the relationship. There IS a reason why the divorce rate is so high in this country. Anyone contemplating marriage at such a young age better be prepared to enter a relationship of patience and a bit of humility.

Not sure of this will help, as I have never tried it, but my Grandfather always had great advice, and was married to my Grandmother for 60 years.

Both of you sit down, and come up with 20 goals that you want to accomplish in life as a couple. Do this over a weeks time, and don't discuss this with each other at all until the day you set to read them comes up.

Each goal that matches is worth 5 points. The total points that you come up with is the percentage rate of your relationship working out over the long haul.

Anything over 50% is buttah.

Again, I’ve never tried this myself, but I never forgot the mans wisdom or advice.

As long as sex is as important for her, and as good for her, as it is for you, AND, your love is true on both ends, there will never be an unmanagable problem. If not, it's a roll of the dice. You might still get lucky. But the odds are longer.


Move in together? Hell yes, if you're convinced she's the one. The sooner you find out if you two can handle each other 24/7, the better. Just don't go making babies before you know.
(Personally, I think living together for at least a year should be a requirement before marriage. Kind of like a Learner's Permit)

25 years together and counting here. Lived together for 7 (I was a selfish idiot :doh: ), married for 18. Best/smartest move I ever made.

Hope you're just as fortunate. :cheers:

Rdskn4lyf,

I too am pretty young and close to being engaged. Theres no age limit on finding the one for you. For me, it was my girlfriend helping me through a tramatic health situation. While the intimacy will drop off naturally there are little things you can do to keep it going. If you are home before her... set the environment. Dim the lights, play some music and have her favorite drink waiting for her when she gets there or something. Just be creative. If yall both come home to the same thing every day, it will just feel like you are going through the motions. Mix it up every now and then, trust me im speaking from experience... I've been with my girl for almost 4 years now.

There's no deep-rooted emotional attachment associated with driving a car. But I suppose that's a subject for a whole new thread, which I'll probably be alone in.

And those living with their girlfriends, I have a question:

Is it true that when you move in together the sex drops off?

My friend (now engaged and living with his girlfriend for 2 years) told me that at first it is great because there aren't boundaries or worries about someone coming home and catching you.

But, after the first month or so, the times a month drops drastically because it is no longer a rush, and there is always something to do (I.E. work or school).

He told me this when I told him I was thinking about moving in with my girlfriend next year.

Should this be a concern, and should I hold off moving in together?

Just trying to figure this out on a slow night.....:D


That is entirely up to you & your wife/girlfriend. I have been married for over 5 years & the sex has never dropped off. Ever. The longest I have gone without ANY kind of sex is about 4 days. The longest I have gone without intercourse has been about 2 weeks. Trust me, there is always time for sex.

HOWEVER, why it drops off is mostly because couples get "bored", other things complicate their lives & sex becomes trivial (to some) & sometimes not worth the effort. In more cases then not, it also has a lot to do with at least one of the partners not being satisfied with the sex. And instead of saying, "Hey, you're a dead lay" & hurting the other person's feelings, you just stop requesting it as much or make yourself less available for it. Alot of times, people get into a routine with their partners & after a while ANY routine can get old. My suggestion (to anyone who has this problem) is mix it up a little. Do something different each time. Explore each other. If you think you already know everything about your partner, then test that theory. Prove yourself wrong. This helps keep things spontaneous. No routine. Anyway, it works for me.


Just my :2cents:

You said a mouthful, brother.

Having a baby has a tremendous impact, IMO. If you have to choose between sleep and sex, more often than not sleep is going to win out. Just trying to find the free time is hard enough, much less trying to both get on the same emotional wavelength long enough to get things started.

I guess it makes up for all the extra sex we had trying to get pregnant in the first place.

True. I feel that sometimes too. We don't have kids yet, so I don't KNOW that experience, but I KNOW that once we do, the sex will be negatively effected.

My wife and I didn't "do it" until after we were married. Probably as a consequence, two kids haven't affected us at all. :)

Just for the record I agree with this and This:

Before I was married, a married friend of mine (female, nonetheless) told me that she heard that if you put a piece of candy in a big jar every time you have sex with your girlfriend/boyfriend/fiance until you get married, and then, after the wedding, you take one piece out everytime you have sex AFTER the "I do's", that it will take several years to get to the last of the candy, even if it only took you one year to fill the jar.

I tried this when I started dating my wife. We dated for two years before we got married (had known eachother and been very good friends for years before dating), and in year four of the marriage I think we are almost halfway through the jar of candy. So, take it for whatever that's worth.

i don't know if that's cool or morbid, but i'll try it. :laugh:

(Personally, I think living together for at least a year should be a requirement before marriage. Kind of like a Learner's Permit)

I didn't mean to imply my way was the best way, or the only way. We each have our own life experiences that shape the way we think. And you're right, this is not the thread to discuss it in.

The Learners Permit analogy was tongue-in-cheek BTW.

Here's to you and yours, for a long and happy marriage. :cheers:

What's sex? I've heard rumors of this wonderful thing but I don't recall ever seeing it around my house much.

And those living with their girlfriends, I have a question:

Is it true that when you move in together the sex drops off?

My friend (now engaged and living with his girlfriend for 2 years) told me that at first it is great because there aren't boundaries or worries about someone coming home and catching you.

But, after the first month or so, the times a month drops drastically because it is no longer a rush, and there is always something to do (I.E. work or school).

He told me this when I told him I was thinking about moving in with my girlfriend next year.

Should this be a concern, and should I hold off moving in together?

Just trying to figure this out on a slow night.....:D


With me and my wife it happened when the kids showed up.

YEah it actually swaps... Gods own little private joke I guess.... I am always all over Huly, to the point where she needs a baseball bat to keep me away...

I keep warning her though, that when she hits her mid 30's on, it will be opposite. I will be the one saying I am not in the mood, and I will have to fight her off... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Ok, keep this part quite. That stuff you heard about men being opposite is not true. We stay the same, it just seems like that to the women cuz they can't get enough.

Brotha listen to me your 20 years old DO NOT do this yet? There is plenty of fish in the ocean, do you know what that means? Let me put it to you like this have you even been here where I live to Las Vegas? If the answer is no then DO NOT get married or even engaged cause as soon as that ring is on the finger say good-bye to Vegas cause you ain't gonna be able to go without her period and trust me you want to come with buddies cause what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!

ummm........Great advice.....engaged at 20?!?!?...wow....thats passing up a lot of pu---...will you know what I mean...lol! I got married at 27, and don't get me wrong cause I love my wife and my three kids but my advice to others......see the world, get out and plaaaaaaaaaaaaaay....once you walk down that isle the menu gets chop down to one entree.....padre. :laugh:
