One of the main reasons why GetLusty was created was to help couples have better sex and a more fulfilling relationship. One of the most important parts of a relationship is intimacy. On the contrary, one of the biggest issues in relationships is the lack of intimacy. There are plenty of reasons as to why couples have low levels of intimacy in relationships. GetLusty writer Crimson Love reports on what life distractions can kill intimacy in your relationship.

Work plays a huge part in lack of intimacy.
If you are extremely career focused and work 9-5 or later every single day when will you have time to spend with your partner?
By the time you get home all you want to do is eat dinner, maybe watch your favorite TV show and go to bed. This daily routine repeats the next day and could soon become a destructive cycle.
#2 Children
Having children (bless their sweet little souls) can put a damper on intimacy. In the early stages of life, they take up a huge portion of your time.
Even as they get older there are soccer game to attend, PTA meetings, play dates, and birthday parties.
After all that carpooling and running around, when everyone is finally home, you still have to make dinner and help out with homework. By the time good night kisses are given and the little ones are tucked into bed, you are tuckered out and ready to collapse.
#3 FamilyOn top of work and the kids, you also have family to deal with- which can be more emotionally draining than anything. Tension between your in-laws or immediate family can put you in a funk for awhile.
If you are a couple that has older parents who need just as much care just they will often need to be looked after and will need help with certain tasks. Taking care of older parents can also leave little to no time for intimacy and can even cause stress in your relationship.
You might be thinking to yourself, "Yes, this is sounds like me and my lover. But at least we still have sex." Yes, you may be having sex but ask yourself this: Is it the same routine sex? Are you using the same sex positions and having sex at the same time of the day? When you are all finished, do you roll over and fall asleep? This may work for some but for most, this won't work forever. Your stagnant routine may be killing your intimacy.
Look out for part two as GetLusty helps you distinguish the difference between sex and intimacy.
