When you are in a long term relationship, desire is cyclical. It is a fact and anyone who denies this either A. has never been in a long term relationship B. is too young to really experience love and sex or C. is lying.
Do you stop wanting sex? Not really. But desire for your partner ebbs and flows over time. Do you not desire your partner during the less sex periods of your relationship? No, you desire him or her very much. Its just a fact of biology. Sometimes we want it more than other times.
In an intensely physical relationship, sometimes one partner needs to step back to clear their head. If the other partner truly loves and cares about them, they do understand and will be there for them.
And that is the truth from someone who has been in relationships almost non stop for 17 years.
