How important is sex

I’m only 21 and just had my first child. My husband is 31 so we have a decent age gap. Sex between us was so good pre-baby but lately his sex drive is little to nothing. He is an absolutely amazing husband and I literally can’t fault him with anything else apart from our sex life. We do it like once a week, and most of time I don’t get to finish - he won’t use his hands or go down on me either. I’ve spoken to him about this all more than once and he apologises a lot and I know he tries to make up for it by being extra loving and affectionate. I don’t know, I feel bad for holding this against him because he’s sooo perfect otherwise. Am I overreacting? What do I do? I think because I am young my libido is super high too which doesn’t help given the age difference

We go through phases where our libidos just don’t match and then others where we’re in sync and have sex a lot more! I think that’s pretty common. What’s his reasons for not using his hands or going down is it just a preference or?

@Mia I think after giving birth and now feeling recovered I just wanna feel as normal as possible. Sex made me feel wanted and beautiful so I’m craving it even more maybe. It’s his preference I guess not to try anything else. He’s rather vanilla bless him lol

I don’t think his age has anything to do with it. I’m 29 and my partner is 39 and his sex drive has always been better than mine. Is it possible he doesn’t know what to do with his hands or mouth? Maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to cause he’s embarrassed about not knowing what to do? You could teach/guide him. Use your hands to guide his until he learns how too etc. Goodluck :)

it’s as important as you make it! in my opinion it should be important to him to make you finish, even if he is vanilla. tell him how you’re feeling and try to encourage him to do more for you, but obviously if his drive is lower you can’t force it. i agree with what Sera said, maybe he needs guidance

How long have you guys been together? Is this new or the first time you’ve felt he’s been a bit off? I think sometimes you don’t match up. My fiancé and I have been together 3 years and sometimes we are all over each other and then someone wants it more than the other. Normal I think.

I’ve always been the one with a higher sex drive than my husband and we’ve gone through the same kind of slump. Eventually it kinda worked itself out but we had to have a few conversations about it. Maybe if he made you finish you would be more satisfied with just one time per week

Depending on age of baby, men do have hormone changes when we have babies so his testosterone levels would have dropped which means low libido
