I have heard some version of the following more times than I have hairs on my head:
Expecting sexual heat to endure (without any increase in effort) for years is unrealistic.
Since, for me, life without sexual passion is not a life worth living, I had even decided at a certain point that a long-term relationship was not for me.
The approximate duration of the “sexual heat” period that people usually name is between 6 months and 2 years. I’ve heard these stories over and over again. The passion cools down and transforms into something that is good in its own way because it’s calmer and more profound. Or something equally disturbing.
Well, you know what? None of this is true. I have no idea where people are getting this from. Maybe they had no actual passion for each other to begin with.
I, however, know for a fact that sometimes the heat not only endures for years but actually intensifies with every passing day.
Maybe 4 years 9 months and 18 days is not that long but, right now, the passion is rapidly growing. And it has not yet occurred to me what kind of an “effort” I might need to bring to the process.
Of course, I’ll keep you updated on the progress of this passion. N. and I are planning to have wild orgies in the retirement home 50 years from now. Stay tuned.
