When you feel horny, that's fundamentally a message from your body, saying "Hey, I notice we seem to have access to a fair bit of free time, surplus calories and resources. We should really use those on having another kid".

Until contraception became popular, people would typically have children until they were so busy, tired or hungry that they lost the desire for sex. Those "sexless marriages" which are held up as a horrible consequence of modern life? That's NORMAL.

If you've got a couple people who have some children and looking after them makes them too busy to want to have sex any more, that isn't a horrible, failing marriage. That's a marriage working well. You had kids, and you are now putting all your time and energy into them.

As long as you both still love and respect each other and work together effectively on this adventure called family life, that's great. The part where you are really horny and having sex all the time is just a youthful phase for a specific purpose. You're meant to move on from it

This is why all the contraceptives and aphrodisiacs and viagra in the world keeps having diminishing returns. You're trying to stall the growth of your relationship by holding it in youth mode through chemical intervention. Doesn't really work. Your expectations are the problem.

And you were given those expectations. By media, by educators, by academics, by "experts" who were all fundamentally on board with proselytizing the concept of the sexual revolution.

There was nothing benign about their intentions. They weren't shaping these ideas in your head because they wanted to do what was best for you. They just believed that more sex was better and wanted everyone to get on board with that idea, to produce the society they wanted.

And we've been living in that society for decades now and look at all we've traded away, just so that we can have sex with a higher number of people, without social shaming. Ask yourself - Is this really the best way to live?

The irony in all of this is that the average young person is actually having less sex than in the past
-
Yup. Even by the virtues espoused by the vanguard of the sexual revolution, we've accepted a terrible deal.
