When you first start dating someone, come rain or shine, hell or high heaven, you’re going to have sex. There is just that undeniable attraction. It doesn’t matter what either of you is going through in your personal lives or jobs—nothing can get in the way of that new relationship addiction. But, once you get comfortable with each other, and the relationship settles into a more stable, secure one, there is less focus on sex and more focus on building a life together. Your attention goes back to things like your careers and social lives. Because of this shift, it is easy for certain life events to quickly bring your sex life to a screeching halt. This is especially true once a man becomes so comfortable with you that he leans on you for support during difficult events. And you want to be there for him, no matter what, but it doesn’t change the fact that you still have a sex drive even if he…doesn’t. Here are life events that can temporarily kill a man’s libido.
Loss of a job
A man’s sense of self-worth correlates so strongly with how his career is going. While women can let go of the job-related stresses of the day and take back the night aka have sex with their partners after a bad day, men have a harder time with that. They really don’t feel attractive if their jobs aren’t going well, and they feel especially unattractive after losing a job.
