Sexual incompatibility troubles marriages

He’s a 38-year-old executive. She’s a 34-year-old homemaker. He says they never fight, and in many ways they’re compatible — but not when it comes to sex.

“It’s almost like a checklist,” says Jon (who asked that his real name not be used) of their once-a-month lovemaking. The problem, he believes, is a lack of desire.

Sexually unfulfilling marriages aren’t limited to new parents or aging baby boomers with hormone imbalances. They can ensnare even the relatively young and the recently married. When they are unable to blame kids, stress or physical issues, many couples struggle unhappily to identify — and resolve — the problems behind their lackluster sex life.

Couples end up in sexually unfulfilling marriages for a variety of reasons, says Marty Klein, a licensed marriage counselor and certified sex therapist in Palo Alto, California. One reason, he says, is America’s obsession with marriage.

This article goes on to focus on warning signs and to debunk the common belief that sexuality fades over time. Sex is a very real part of a healthy relationship - if your relationship lacks sex, most everything else fades from there.

Why not take time to learn the warning signs and avoid falling into an unfulfilling relationship to begin with?

Dating in London with Gumtree.com

Gumtree.com, at first glance is a much cleaner, neater and pleasing to the eye version of the hugely popular Craigslist. Gumtree was started in March 2000 as an answer to the classifieds need in London and to serve as a community site, designed to connect people who were planning to move, or had just arrived in the city, and needed help getting started with living space, employment and even dating in London.

What Gumtree has exploded in to is an all encompassing forum where people can visit to find everything from furniture to love.

How convenient is that?

Regardless of the type of relationship you’re looking for, whether it’s penpals, friends or dating - Gumtree has the categories to meet your needs. There’s straight, gay, lesbian, casual and missed connections, just to name a few.

The service has expanded beyond London and can now be utilized for areas such as Scotland, Wales, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Asia.

What could be better than a one stop shop where you can find just about anything you need or could possibly want.

While this post may be a sponsored post, I’m personally a huge fan of this type of forum. Being the busy professional that I am, I enjoy the one stop shop communities and based on the membership base, I’d say I’m not the only one.

Enjoy!
