Women like attention. They also want to be impressed by their man. Open the door of the car for her and help her climb in. Write the little notes that you leave all over the house or a love letter to let her know that you still think of her and appreciate everything she is. Prepare a romantic candlelit dinner without letting her know before. Love and attentiveness work better than anything else to bring back desire in a woman.
Break the “Two-Year Curse”
According to mensgroup.com, Most couples end up losing the intense sexual interest in the “honeymoon phase” within the first two years of a relationship. Some specialists say that it can sometimes take as little as six months for things to start fading away. Although some will tell you that it’s normal, be an adult, and make up your own mind. Do you really want to lose that special part of your relationship? And if so, ask yourself: Why should you?
Yes, time passes by, and the novelty goes away. It is so with a new car, a new house, and a new job. But that doesn’t mean it should be so, especially when it comes to our private life. If you decide to get married and two years later the fire between the two of you doesn’t exist anymore, what will you do? Do you really feel comfortable with a sex life that will be boring or that will be intermittent throughout the rest of your life?

Looking at the neighbor’s grass and thinking that it looks greener is common. Or should we say: “It’s a common mistake.” That’s because your neighbor most probably thinks that yours is greener.

If you agree, then there is a very simple solution to keep the relationship alive. And boys (and men): This one is in your hands. Time to “man-up” as we say and make this beautiful and intensely sexual relationship last forever. I am sure you are quite curious to know how by now.

It is about reminding yourself, daily, how beautiful the woman/man in your life is. How lucky you are to have that person in your life. How delightful it is to join your bodies together. If you do so, every time you look at your “better-half,” then you will have something all men dream of A perfect sexual relationship that will last forever.
Ask Yourself: Is this a lack of Desire, or Is the Problem Somewhere Else?

You should try to keep the fire alive, but not at all costs. Although we forget the union’s beauty between two people easily, we should not mistake the lack of desire for something usual when it represents a deeper, more preoccupying problem. Sometimes, we run away from making love for other reasons than lack of desire. There might be something in the couple which disturbs us so profoundly that it keeps us away from our partner. In such cases, it might be best to seek other alternatives than to get closer again.
We all know (or have heard) about make-up sex and even revenge-sex. Although the first one can be good if the idea is to get back together because we are still in love, it is not the way to go if we feel uncertain about our relationship. It is better to stay away from having sex if we are unsure of our feelings. Or else, you might feel quite awkward when you wake-up the day after…
