She lived on my block. I was walking my dog once and she invited me in with her husband home and everything. It was nice as we sat at the kitchen table and had small talk about the neighborhood. She had also mentioned her husband worked Tuesday nights.

The limerence period, coined by psychologist Dorothy Tennov, represents the first 18 to 24 months of a relationship where you love (or overlook) everything your partner does, including never closing kitchen cabinets and talking over The Bachelorette, because your brain is hopped up on loving them.

After that time, your brain chemistry changes, the excitement wears off, and you guys settle into more stable patterns-less frequent sex included. Men, especially, are expected to exist in a permanent state of horniness, and additionally that the frequency with which they get laid somehow directly correlates to their masculinity. Overdoing it (pun most certainly intended) just leads to boring, perfunctory hump-seshes rather than steamy hot I-need-you sex.
