I know so many lesbians/wlw in long term relationships with minimum to no intimacy and they still stay. I would like to know what can motivate that?

Do you think there are no gay couples or straight couples in the same situation?

All couples are at risk of a fizzling sex life. I know plenty of people who stay together long after they stopped having sex.

Lots of people decide that someone is a good partner who covers X out of however many boxes but maybe a vibrant sex life remains unchecked, or they just accept that sex drives decline over time, who knows.

I'm curious what is your demographic and why is this a focus for you right now?

D1, I am around people my age 25-39.
And those in LTR (more than 2.5 years) have intimacy issues. They seemingly love each other, but mostly dead bedroom. 60% have pets too.

Why don’t you ask them?
You will hear that it is exactly what D1 just said.

For a lot of people it’s finding comfort in familiarity. And sex isn’t important to some people.

For couples who can conceive through sex, and plan on starting a family, often times 2-3 yrs is the marriage milestone and shortly thereafter May start the quest for kids, which sustains intimacy. Post kids, things can get stale, regardless of whether conceived in the couple or not. Kids just take a ton of work and parenting is draining but the type of intimacy achieved is profound. My spouse and I still sleep together and cuddle a ton but esp after she gave birth sex was not easy…

An agency interviews you for 3 rounds (job involves a move). Is there value in saying “I have an offer” just to get them to say yes or no, so you can finally know if you’re moving or staying?

I just returned to bangalore last week via train. There I met one guy who was shifting to bangalore for the first time due to his job(Infosys). We talked for sometime. There he asked if its okay to keep his luggage for some time if situation arises as such. I thought the guy is new so I agreed to it and gave him his number.
Now after a week he calls me and says he wants to live at my apartment as his 14 day accomodation is getting over. I am a bit uncomfortable for this as he is a stranger.
