Why parents who are like in their middle age and up don't make out anymore?

Answer 1

There's nothing that's true of EVERYONE, so the question (and many of the answers) are a little too general. BUT, that being said, here are my answers:

Many people continue making out (and related activities) their whole life. If you have two people who are compatible and who can remain friends, there's no reason for that stuff to go away. It might drop in frequency a little (if you ate your favorite food EVERY SINGLE DAY, you'd eventually become less excited about eating it), but it doesn't necessarily disappear. These people are often true friends as well as spouses.

Some people lose their drive as they get older. Men's desires, in particular, start to wane as they get older, but that's certainly not true across the board. My dad's nearly 50 and is still a horndog. Same for Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. And Mick Jagger.

Some people get married to the wrong people. It seems like the right person when they get married, but later they find that they're incompatible. Rather than divorce and move on to greener pastures, many people hang in there and stay married. They grow to not really like each other (they just sort of tolerate one another), and often end up leading pretty separate lives in their house. Their intentions (staying together) are noble, but the result is sad.

Some people marry the right person, but end up growing apart as the relationship goes on. People change. The person you are at 16 is not the person you'll be at 24. The person you are at 24 is not the person you'll be at 35. If people change in totally different directions (and/or can't tolerate the changes in the other person), they often will drift apart and stop being so into each other.

Some people have kids, and kids will tire you out. By the time you get a few minutes to yourself when you could be making out with someone, you don't feel much like making out. You just want to relax for a couple of minutes...

Also, as others pointed out here, they may just be hiding it from you. When you're older, things seem a little less urgent. As a high schooler, for instance, you might sieze on every opportunity to get your smooch on. Maybe because you don't have a lot of opportunities ('cos you both live at home with parents), or because it's all new and wonderful and exciting. Either way, you do it whenever and wherever you can.

When you're older, though, you've got time (assuming you don't have kids). You've got space. You know that you'll get to it, and you don't need to mack on each other in Denny's. You can wait 'til you get home and the kids are all asleep. Heck, you can sleep in the same bed all night if you want. There's no reason to do it in front of the kids (and then tolerate their gagging and retching noises).

I imagine your scenario of middle-aged people not making out anymore happens more amongst married people. I know plenty of single 30-somethings, and -- believe me -- they're not only making out, they're doing a LOT more than that.

In the end, when people stop making out, it's generally because they're either too familiar with the person (and thus it's less exciting than it used to be), or because they've drifted apart and don't really like each other anymore. People call it "being comfortable," but I think that's a euphemism for "bored."

Answer 2

How do you know that every middle aged couple doesn't make out anymore? Thats a pretty big statement. Don't count on that assumption.

Answer 4

Teenagers just have more time on thier hands to just be in love all day...for us middle agers it just isnt on our minds as much...there is so much to do and why would we start making out in front of the kids out of no where! But dont worry we save it for later!

Answer 5

They've been together so long that at that point the spark is gone. Also, men's sexual peaks are so early in life, as time goes the desire wanes. On top of that being with the same person for that long, it makes it even more difficult to get that desire.

Answer 6

I don't know what your comparing us middle aged to but my husband and I are still very affectionate to each other and are kids know this we do not hide our love for each other behind closed doors. There are certain parts of our relationship which is just for the two of us and no ones else needs to see, this is just for us and no one else.

Answer 7

its hard .im 22 and only have one 10 month old! its hard enough dressing up with just him, most middle aged women have more than one child which equalls less tim for them

Answer 8

They do! Just not in front of the kids. We get more private in our mid-age. Besides if we made out where my daughter could see, I'm sure she'd say, "OOO, gross!" or something like that.

Answer 9

I'm 29, hubby is 34..we have 1 child...
We still make out, not every single moment of our days, but it still happens and is still passionate and enjoyable...

Answer 10

Because it would make their children physically ill?
