*** when you're in love is amazing, you can have awkward moments but not care and just laugh it off. You are comfortable enough to ask for certain things, positions and do what you know the other likes. But when that *** is expected from you, everyday, and there is no time to think "I want to have ***" All you think is "I love him and if I don't **** him, he'll leave" You lose that spark. The way your heart use to race at his breath on your neck or his hand moving to lift your shirt off, just evaporates *** turns into a chore that you have to do daily, like doing the dishes or going to work It's not longer something that you desire but something you just know has to happen at some point that day. Love exists without ***, and *** can exist without love. But to keep that love, there shouldn't be the need for ***. Don't tell them "it's *** with you, or I find it with someone else" *** isn't a chore, and it isn't the key to love.
