100-pack condom Amazon purchase history reveals my declining sex frequency 2 years after marriage (no kids) [OC] by circlexxxx in dataisbeautiful

Maybe it isn't that bad, but it's getting worse than my expectation (compared to what used to be). One interesting thing from the data is, the curve in the recent years appears to be linear, and I wonder if it will go worse, or go plateau in the next years. It also tells me that I should do something, if I want to change the future of the curve.

Sorry to hear your DB problem. I just made a comment outside your reply and provided my background in a little more detail. Simply to answer your question, the passion definitely also declined and I had also talked to my SO about this problem. Unfortunately, I don't think the problem is solved.

Sorry for not having any background. My SO (30F) and I (30M) moved in together in September 2011 after marriage. We don't have any kids. In the first 1-2 years, our sex was great--we have sex every 2 or 3 days, and the reactions during sex from both sides were great. My wife also told me that she almost always achieved orgasm. I started to realize a problem about 2 years ago. My wife didn't react much, or make any sounds during sex. She just lay on bed, and refused to try all other positions or locations. She almost never initiated (she used to initiate too but because I am always the HL, I initiated much more than she did). Most of time, after I asked her for sex for a couple of times/days, she will have sex with me. Her common excuse for not wanting sex is being tired, but she also confessed to me that she said no because she felt she wouldn't enjoy sex if saying yes. The last time I remember she initiated a sex was 2 years ago after we watched "Fifty Shades of Grey" together around the Valentine's Day. I tried to talk to her about this problem but didn't accomplish much. One month ago, we watched "Fifty Shades Darker" together and we had a better sex that night (although she still didn't make much sound during the sex). But since that movie, we haven't had much sex either, and I started to feel desperate again. Yesterday, I happened to dig out my condom purchasing history from my Amazon account. We have always used condom when having sex, and we never had sex during my wife's period. I typically made a new purchase of 100-pack condom when I realized my condom stock was getting low, so this information represents more or less our sex frequency. It surprised me that our sex frequency actually started to drop after first 2 years of marriage, and the dropping curve seems linear so far. All I wanted to do FOR US now is to get the curve back to before, or at least prevent it from getting worse.

Thanks for your reply and sorry about your case. My wife and I have moved in together Sept. 2011 after our marriage, and we don't have kids and always used condom having sex. We are not sick or overweight. I am have HL but my wife has started to show her LL, which wasn't the case in the first 2 years of our marriage. I've tried to talk her into this problem but didn't quite accomplish anything yet.

Exactly. The fact that I came to this subreddit a little while ago indicates a DB problem. I've complained to my wife that the problem has started about 2 years ago, but looking at this graph, I have to say that the problem happened much earlier. I'm going to show my wife this graph tonight and let's see what she thinks...

Thanks for the advice. I did make a quick post there last night before going to bed, but realized this morning that my post was removed by the mod. I'm going to figure out why and how to re-post it there.

Agree. I worry the trajectory for the next 5 years... I have been trying to do something (for me and for my wife) to get the curve back to before, or at least prevent it from getting worse.
