Sex expert reveals huge bedroom turn-off for women that men often do six months into a relationship

Sex is the topic of the day and if you’ve been in a relationship for more that six months, you’re going to want to take notes.

That’s because there’s something you’re likely to have stopped doing and your missus isn’t best pleased.

Don’t worry, it’s nothing crazy - but it is essential for you to do so you can reignite that spark in the bedroom.

While some blokes think a quick ‘stick it in’ approach is the only way to do it, most know that there’s an important bit that comes before.

Foreplay is probably one of the best bits of sex, especially because it gives you both a chance to explore your bodies and get into the mood.

However, this one part of foreplay has apparently been cut out of the equation, and women everywhere are broken-hearted.

According to sex expert Tracey Cox, men who have been in relationships for more than six months stop kissing when engaging in sex.

She explained in an article for the Daily Mail: “Kissing during sex often stops in long-term relationships about six months in.

“Which is a damn shame because an erotic tongue-kissing session sets our knees trembling, our hearts racing and our groin aching. Stop at your peril.”

You see, kissing is like the accelerator pedal. There’s just no way to get started without it.

If you’re not doing it, chances are she’s turned-off.

Think about it, you’ve seen the romance films she likes to watch. Bridgerton carriage scene? There was plenty of kissing from Colin (among the rest).

Love Actually, Fifty Shades of Grey, Bridget Jones’s Diary…I could go on about all the films women like to enjoy and the thing that unites them is kissing.

While it’s a pain for women not to be kissed, apparently it could be down to psychology differences.

A State University of New York team questioned over 1,000 students nearly two decades ago and found that women place a big emphasis on kissing.

Apparently, women use kissing as a way of assessing the person as a potential partner, and later, it’s used to maintain intimacy and to check the status of a relationship.

However, men didn’t feel the same way.

Evolutionary Psychology reported that men placed less importance on it, using it to increase the likelihood of sex.

Lead researcher Dr Gordon Gallup said the act of kissing had developed over time to become an essential part of the relationship process.

But he also added: "While both sexes participate in the adaptive benefits of kissing, we found sex differences when considering the pursuit of short- versus long-term mating strategies."

Dr Glenn Wilson, at London's Institute of Psychiatry, said: "Kissing is used by everyone as a bonding and testing mechanism.

"But the fact is women are more discriminatory than men. Men can just go out and spread their seed, but women have to take more responsibility because of the consequences and so they are likely to want to test more."

I’m not too sure about this ‘seed’ thing, but the rest of it makes sense.

Look, just do what Sebastian said and ‘kiss the girl’.
