Q. ME and my boyfriend have been dating for four years. At first the sex was great, but like in all relationships it died down. But now we maybe have sex once every 5 to 6 weeks, maybe longer. He has a pretty hard job and a little boy. When I asked him what has happened to our sex life he said well we never have any chances to do it. He says if we're at his house then he always has his little boy and when he comes to my house he's always tired. We used to always make time for it. I just don't know what has happend to us. Any advice?

Certainly stress and children can have a way of getting in between the sheets and snuffing out what was at one time, great sex! It would be expected that your love making would wane a bit after four years together, work stress and a child—but 5-6 weeks is a little much!

Sometimes, in order to get the flame going again, it is important to go back to basics. Take the pressure off of having to have intercourse and spent some time just giving each other sensual pleasure through touch and massage. Often couples begin to avoid touch all together because they are afraid the partner has the expectation that it will lead to sex. Talk with your boyfriend about having some intimacy time together with the agreement that there will be no sex. SpicyGear.com offers a great DVD called “Tantric Massage”. Watching this DVD with your boyfriend is an excellent way to open up the communication, learn new ways to experience enjoyable physical connection, and re-ignite the sexual flame you once had.

Hi Lynn, i get so jealous of my boyfriends porno. » - Hi Lynn, i get so jealous of my boyfriends porno. I feel like he spends all of this time finding the most gorgeous women with tiptop bodies to watch. It makes me feel less than perfect even though I know I too am gorgeous with a pretty beautiful body. It always makes me angry and seemingly ready to leave him when i think he's been doing it - despite our good relationship which is pretty beautiful! I dont know what to do except I know l'm buying a vibrator because I always had one before I was with him. I mentioned it and he seemed rather irritated and it seemed to hurt his feelings. Part of me says "HAH" inadequacey all around - but that is hateful and not fun at all. I plan on buying a small sized vibrator so he doesn't feel so bothered. Is there a way for me to create a better attitude towards his enjoyment of porno? The vibrator is a start but i dont want to be angry about this anymore if thats at all possible! I'm not sure what comes over me. Thanks sooo much.
