Why your partner doesn't want sex and what to do about it

‘Jorge’ didn’t know what was happening. For several weeks, his partner didn’t want to have sex with him.

Even though he didn’t think they were having problems, ‘Sarah’ was very distant, even cold, every time he proposed it.

Out of love for his wife, with whom he had been married for over ten years, he endured the situation.

However, he kept wondering why his wife didn’t want to have sex with him.

Is the romance dead?

One of the first questions most people ask about why their partner doesn’t want to have sex is whether they’ve fallen out of love.

However, most of the time, that’s not the case. There’s often something else going on, and the goal is to discover the reason, or reasons, behind it.

Try to handle the situation calmly. You both need to talk honestly about how you feel.

A word of caution: choose the right moment because it’s a very sensitive issue that should not be taken lightly.

According to Elle, one of the reasons your partner doesn’t want sex is our fast-paced lives.

In other words, society is pushing us to work harder and harder, as if that were synonymous with success.

What is not taken into account is that this can lead us to suffer from stress, fatigue, anxiety and even depression.

It’s understandable that if you’re feeling this way, the last thing you think about is having sex.

We all know having a new baby is a blessing, however, it may not be the best thing for your sex life.

If before, you both saw yourselves as spouses, friends and lovers, now you have become parents, and that is the priority.

We’re not saying that you shouldn’t have children, but you need to be aware that this completely changes the dynamics at home.

Moments of passion will take a backseat until you’ve adjusted to parenthood.

One of the reasons you partner doesn’t want sex anymore is somewhat uncomfortable.

It’s normal that over the years, our tastes change, and that includes intimacy.

If before we liked to do it one way and now we want to try something new, it’s necessary to talk about it.

It’s quite possible you both have the same thoughts. Once again, communication is key.

Another reason why your partner doesn’t want to have sex is very important to consider.

According to Elle, either of you may have physiological or psychological problems that prevent you from being intimate.

Sometimes people prefer to avoid these issues and that can lead to avoiding sex as well.

Don’t despair — everything in life has a solution… except death.
