What happens if lack of interest in making love lasts for a long time?
Answer:
If a problem with lack of sexual desire lasts for a long time, different consequences can occur for different people or couples. What may happen is that certain problems in the relationship arise, because the partners have different sexual needs. The person who has less interest in making love may feel guilty or be afraid that the other partner will have an affair. The partner with more sexual desire may feel rejected or desperate. These problems have often been going on for a long time when help is sought. It is important to keep talking to each other and discuss the problem. Also getting help if the problems continue is also important.
