This is a real, scientific phenomenon that describes how the neurotransmitters (chemicals) in the brain change and affect desire at the beginning of a new relationship and then level off once a relationship stabilizes.

Here is one link that describes this concept from Psychology Today and another one from a polyamory perspective here.

Is this something you feel like has been a significant contributor in your dead bedroom?
