    Yeah, it has been slowly improving, even despite current setbacks and that’s very good. Hopefully next generations will face less and less judgment from general society and that would most definitely fix some issues.

    But i do think some will still remain, like a compatibility issue. How many couples break up over something as simple as a difference in libido? How many relationships don’t even start just because lack of mutual sexual attraction, even though everything else suits?

    I doubt that less judgment from general society would help much against that part?

      Tbf I feel like if one finds it important to have sex in a relationship, and the other has a low desire for it, and they can’t find a solution, it’s fair to break up. Just do it on good terms and don’t hold a grudge/spite for one another. Look instead at the positive experiences that were had together, if any.

      Less judgement definitely would help, if only to make relationships less strained or artificially kept in place because of power imbalance.

        Yep, and people change with time, maybe one kept the same drive they had in their early 20’s, the other did not. This happens with other things as well, and if anything, sexual issues might just be a symptom that people’s interests, needs and priorities have changed and are no longer aligned…

        Growing old together is a game of compromises, but as long as both are willing to play, it is fun.
