There are tons of studies on this, its pretty widely supported. Just google "mens test drops in relationships"

interdasting. I would say that IF the theory is indeed legit, it would be because we can "relax" now. We don't have the need to fight or compete (competition), or hunt (sloots).

It has to be different for each person but I believe it entirely depends on the relationship type.

Some get into relationships and it becomes their entire image. Their lives revolve around each other and I believe these kind of guys have low test to begin with.

On the other hand, some end up together because they compliment each other. There's no cute social media bullchit or flaunting of each other, it's just building each other up, addressing sexual needs, keeping eachother accountable for staying fit, etc.

Still, the sex needs to be there IMO.

Yea thats definitely one if, if not the biggest, contributing factor

That would involve a completely different lifestyle

It's true in my case and it's just gotten worse. Pretty sure it's not going to work out.

She has lost sexual attraction for him. You're saying he is good at initiating and she's turning him down right?

was a with a girl 5 years and we had sex 1-2 weekly, sometimes less. Guess it just gets boring doing it with the same person

Now that we've broken up, we smash 5 rounds in one night

If there is a decrease in frequency in a LTR then 85 to 90% of the time it's the guy's fault.

It's plain and simple.

Long term relationship
Age causing test levels in men to decline
Marriage
Kids (particularly small children)

All factors that can lead to less sex in a relationship.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

low sex rate is a good thing, so you don't lose your vital fluids.

Been dating my girl for a while.

She wants to have sex every night, I want to maybe once a week.

You get bored of banging the same girl..it isn't natural..
Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

It probably is. Dead bedrooms are more common than you think. Most people in a relationship are miserable.

most people in those dead relationships fell into them from casually fking in the first place. and the guy probably felt pressured into marrying said sloot because of the amount of time/years he was in the accidental relationship. social pressures. and people wonder why the divorce rate is so high.

Wow. That just isn't acceptable.
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

A Finnish study of over 2000 women found that womens' sex drive diminishes in long term relationships/the longer they are with the same partner (they said mens' sex drive stayed roughly the same).

It does fit with my experience and what a few other women have told me (though there are others I know who don't lose it).

From a female perspective I have a couple of theories;

a. Genetic variety in the relatively few offspring females can produce.

b. No further need for pair-bonding/commitment-forming sex .. if a woman feels threatened by another woman going after her man, or thinks he might leave; I bet you'd see her sex drive for him come back.

(There's actually an extreme form of this called 'hysterical bonding' when people cheat, though in general it's not a good thing, cause they still break up due to all the deceipt/bitterness/lack of trust).
Simple minds need simple answers.

It's not hard.

Stay attractive this means more than staying in shape. It means being fun and spontaneous. Having a job. Having a life outside of her plus other things.

2. Learn how to initiate properly.

3. Learn what responsive desire is and how to stoke it.

Handle those three things and you should be holden for a minimum 3x per week.
