'It was an actual discovery': Navigating sex after a long-term relationship

During the early years of Jan Evans' 10-year relationship, sex was fun and spontaneous. But as the marriage turned sour, frequency waned, and so did desire. "It occurred occasionally, but in hindsight I think I tried to avoid anything that involved intimacy," she recalls.

Coming out of a long-term relationship and facing the prospect of intimacy with someone other than a long-term partner can be daunting. "There can often be doubt about whether such chemistry or connection will ever be found again. It might also be a case of a person's libido decreasing with age and so there's a worry that there will be an expectation with a new partner to engage in sex quickly."This can leave some women feeling like a young virgin, rather than a sexually experienced woman, having to second guess, find a way to discuss the topic, or fake it until you make it.

And with a new-found freedom, you may just find yourself rediscovering a love of sex you thought you'd long lost.

Navigate sex? Did you have to use Google maps to find it? Lol..

Who cares.

It’s something I found awkward until I separated my emotions from sex.. Then I had some not great until I met someone new 😊💕

just use spit for lubricant and make sure the headboard keeps time with the music

just give it a go ... with someone you trust ! 😊
