The secrets of maintaining a healthy sex life in a long-term relationship Sex in long-term relationships is regarded by most of the media as unglamorous, dutiful – and definitely not exciting. In a society that’s overloaded with overtly sexual images, it’s easy to imagine that the rest of the world is having a much better sex life than you and your partner. And many couples do suffer a loss of libido after a number of years. But the message of this book is that sex doesn’t have to become boring or routine. Not only can you re-kindle your sex-life, but the sex you can have with your long-term partner can be the best sex of your life, no matter what your age or the number of years you have been together.
