Recently Reddit user Fresh-Astronomer3666 asked the women of the community, “Women who do not have a lot of sexual chemistry with their spouses, how is your marriage going?”
Women didn’t hold anything back, and revealed some pretty eye-opening truths about their sex lives. They believe sexual chemistry is either suuuper important to keep a relationship spicy, and others just don’t care.
So, here are both sides to the story:
Note: These submissions don’t reflect a universal experience of sexual chemistry between partners. Everyone’s story is different.
1. “I got a divorce, and honestly it was the best thing I could’ve done. I’m with a man now who I’m really sexually compatible with, and I’ve never been happier. I had no sex life at all in my marriage and got shamed for having a sex drive because ‘normal people aren’t like that’ and what I liked was ‘dirty’ and ‘no one actually does those things.’ Turns out they do! Being compatible and at least able to talk about those things made sex pretty mind-blowing.”
“I also got divorced and don’t regret it. I’m currently single, but had a partner who I was very sexually compatible with after the divorce. I now have ‘a decent sex life’ on my non-negotiable list.
I’m just so much happier with ‘regular,’ good sex and it makes the rest of the relationship so much easier. It doesn’t have to be mind-blowing, but it should at least be enjoyable and not lead to stress.”
