Why Did Our Sex Life Stop? How Couples Get It Back with Dr. Holly Richmond
You used to want each other, and now you pass in the hallway like roommates, both too nervous to be the one who brings it up. Sex therapist Dr. Holly Richmond explains why the spark fades for nearly every couple after the first year or so, and the four everyday habits that bring it back, including a gentle way to say “this isn’t working for me” without starting a fight.

Key Points
- Healthy long-term desire depends on talking openly about sex, staying curious about each other, and making room for appreciation, affection, and aftercare.
- Mismatch in libido is normal, so the goal is not to fix a broken partner but to build connection through communication, novelty, and acceptance.
- Orgasm and sensitivity change with age, and better blood flow, presence, and experimentation can help people experience more pleasure without pathologizing what is normal.
