Oh, the pleasures of sex. Teen boys cannot think of anything else. To hear them speak, you'd think they'd slept with every girl in the village. In reality, they've not even had a sniff. Teen girls, on the other hand, are thinking about whether they are ready for it or whether they should keep themselves for that someone special. There is so much pressure. If only they knew what the future holds!
After a few decades of sex, it loses its initial appeal to some extent. From lust, we start to look for love. And then the problems start. So what can go wrong?
1. You feel obliged to continue the quantity you enjoyed in your younger years. The quality suffers as a result. It becomes a chore, not something you look forward to the moment you get in the door from work.
2. She holds back and only offers sex in exchange for the way you treat her. You resent it and a barrier grows between you. She equates sex to love. You equate it to your male needs.

I'm tired.' She thinks you're selfish. But it isn't your fault God made you and her differently. She hates the fact you always get fulfilment and she rarely does. And you never whisper sweet nothings to her.
7. After years with the same person, it is hard to pretend you find each other sexy. The desire and urges you had in your younger years abate anyway. But with the same person it's not easy to keep up your desires.
8. She whispers your best mate's name. When she says she was joking, you;re not sure. She's either a good liar or she was joking - but why would you joke during sex?
9. The kids walk in on you just as you are reaching an interesting point. 'Daddy,
