Relationship sex advice is one of the most common reasons that individuals seek out couples or relationship counseling. With all of the images that couples see on television, in magazines and books, and in movies and on billboards, it’s no wonder that many people share a widely popular, although unrealistic lack of understanding. That myth, that mistaken (too often repeated and/or encouraged) belief is that in our culture everyone is either having (or is suppose to be having) “hot” sex. Hot sex, day after day, and night after night. For ten weeks, then ten months, then ten years. You get the picture.
The truth is that, for the vast majority of couples, effortless “hot”
sex only shows up the early phase of a relationship (if it shows up at all). The emphasis here being on
“effortless.”

It’s not that couples that have been together for a long time can’t have passionate, intimate, dare we say "hot" sex, it’s just that those couples living inside of mature relationships (with job pressure, children's needs, aging parents, financial challenges, intrusive in laws, animal companions) will have to put more effort into finding that passion. And, their passion will very likely look different from the sexual passion they experienced early in the relationship.
