My dear friends--might I ask you a question? I was just...well wondering--when you take a mate--how long does the honeymoon period last? I mean not that I mind it--it's amazing--but how long will it be before Santiago and I can be together and think about things other than well...sex?

Oh god I'm so mortified asking this.

	No need to be embarrassed, Renata. It is a perfectly natural question to ask. Though, I'm afraid that there is no set answer. It varies, as you can imagine. And I think you might find that the "honeymoon" phase doesn't completely fade away at all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and not be offended or thinking that I'm being nosy. Thank you for your honesty. It's just a new experience--an enjoyable one--but it's a little off putting for me not to have the answer to everything. How are you my dear friend? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No trouble at all. And why would I be offended or think you're being nosy? It's a perfectly natural question. You're quite welcome. Mystery does tend to make people feel that way. But you'll find out soon enough. I am fine. Adjusting back to life here. And you? (Reply to this) (Parent)

Please, don't be embarrassed, they're perfectly acceptable questions.

The answer is, however, not set in stone. It varies from person to person. There are some that after several months that phase sort of fades. There are some that it takes years. And with others perhaps it never fades completely.

Might I suggest if you long for something more than just sex, speak with him? Communication in a relationship is an important component.
