Stuck in a sex rut? Same time. Same place. Same old position? A lot of couples report a loss of libido in long-term relationships because of a lack of variety, says sex therapist Alice Child, but your sex life doesn’t have to hit the skids.
‘Many couples describe losing “the spark”,’ she says. ‘But when I get them to explore deeper, they often find they still have that attraction. What they’ve lost isn’t desire for each other, just the knowledge of how to trigger it.’
