One of the things that I  have read and learned is that being tired is terrible on a sex life. When we're so tired that all we want to do is sleep, that's not good.

But it also helps a couple see that only leaving for each other what is left at the end of the day is not a good thing either. So I think it's important to prioritize sex for when we have energy and focus instead of for the end of the day when we've got very little engery and focus left.

We've also both got to cut back on the sugary stuff that I've learned from health experts makes the human body tired at the end of the day.

Thoughts on this? Have you struggled with the occasional or cronic exhaustion poisoning of your sex life?

After difficulties finding the energy to have a happy, healthy sex life during most of the first ten years of our marriage, we started "planning" our time together each week.  It isn't perfect, and some may say it removes all the "spontenaity" -- but we're now happily married, very sexually active, and just celebrated 22 years of marriage!!

I'd like to add stress to the list of poisons to your sex drive.
