  When you first meet someone, you will always have the fire and desire to do anything and everything because it is new and exciting. If that first meeting leads to a relationship, "the honeymoon period" contains much of the same, the timeframe of this period varies, but it does end. To use a variation of and old saying, imagine having the greatest meal of your life, it tastes fantastic, and you cant wait to have it again. Imaging eating that meal for 3 months straight, it still tastes good, but are now thinking of trying something different. For a relationship to work, you have to beat this, and the same can still apply to your favorite meal, variation. This can be the ingrediants(positions, toys, etc), how it is cooked(hot and fast, or lovingly slow), and where you eat(outdoors, at home). This is my opinion, as Im sure other have different views, but this has worked for me for 6 years, and still going strong. ps. I do love cooking George

  I’ve been thinking about this alot too. I found this on the net - "Boredom is a chronic symptom of a pleasure-obsessed age. When pleasure becomes ones’ number one priority, the result, ironically, is boredom. The ceaseless attempt to rekindle pleasure in the face of boredom can lead to moral degeneration". :P "What once gives pleasure will soon fail to satisfy. The experience must become more and more extreme to yield the desired sensation. Movies that once titillated their audiences with subtle innuendoes keep getting more and more explicit to keep their audiences entertained. "Consumers of pornography, for example, soon tire of naked pictures; they want to see sex, then perverted sex. Since it is the breaking of taboos that gives them their thrill, they keep stepping over the line, and the line keeps moving: to sadistic sexual violence, then..." Think about chocolate and how it’s always the first piece that is the best. ALWAYS! It’s because until that first piece, you did not have any on your tongue, so that first piece is incredible! But once you’ve savoured that first piece, each consecutive piece is less enjoyable. :( And so on... ;) I only recently heard about the Law of Diminishing Returns and it rocked my world. I though back to a day when I bought this pizza and the first piece was amazing. But each piece after it just was not the same. I didn’t understand it. Then one day I realised that it can be applied to many things! Of course, knowing and walking the talk are two entirely different things. I still love chocolate, pizza and women. I totally understand what you’re talking about Starrdust. I’ve tried relationships and they bore the bejesus out of me. And I’m ok with that! Have you explored Polyamory?

  Was going to make a deep comment but it seemed a bit tree huggy so thougth I’d ask another question .How many of you have found that if things go a bit dead and you make move to break up suddenly the bored partner comes back to life, full of passion....enough to drive you mad really. I am a very tactile person love to kiss and touch. I say Nothing can hold a candle to the frenzy of someone you don’t know very well or someone you know but haven’t been physical with. Relationships do have there good points though. Kissing,sex or even simple hugs,I think it can be like a addiction or drug some people need it and some can be fine without it they enjoy it at the time but don’t crave it. I would have a guess all of us on this site are junkies.
