Did You Used to Love Sex but Dread It Now?
Briefly

Intimate relationships often transition from a highly sexual phase to a more companionate mode within 6 to 12 months. Despite this shift, generating sexual desire can benefit from intentional effort. Maintaining a sexual connection is essential for intimacy; it does not have to be spontaneous. Some individuals may experience extreme reductions in sexual interest or arousal, necessitating professional consultation. Many couples can navigate fluctuations in desire without drastic measures, focusing instead on slow, gradual adjustments rather than expecting constant excitement.
A sad reality of sexual life is that no matter how hot a partner you have managed to attract and how crazy fun sex has been between you, we almost always habituate to a sexual partner and their attractiveness over time. Even the most beautiful celebrity couples in the world probably struggle with this.
Certainly, some people experience a significantly reduced (or complete lack of) sexual interest or arousal. This state is more extreme than what is commonly experienced in that people with a sexual interest/arousal disorder often have no sexual thoughts or fantasies at all.
