Why doesn't my wife want to kiss me anymore?

My wife and I have been married for 12 years. Like most couples we have had some rocky times. One constant for me throughout the marriage has been my physical attraction to my wife. By physical I mean not only hardcore sex but also caressing her, holding her, kissing her. Over the past year/year and a half she is simply not interested in kissing. Every now and then she'll kiss back but typically she is unresponsive. It is almost like roll reversal. She says she enjoys sex and thats typically where she wants to go almost immediately. Very little or no foreplay of any sort. It has become a point of frustration and one that I can't understand. Any ideas as to why the loss of interest in kissing and being more romantic? I totally enjoy sex with her but kissing to me is incredibly erotic and makes foreplay very intense and sex that much better. Thanks!

im a newly wed and I also agree with your kissing. it is the beginging of everything expecally when it comes to romance and love making. I say you simply sit down and talk with her. females tend to hide deep down whats really bothering them. so if you talk it out im sure you can put some more spark back into your marriage!

I totally agree kissing is so intimate and erotic you cant go without it! have you tried talking to her about it and asking why the sudden disinterest? I would def be speaking to her about it becos this is something you cherish and she is dismissing it without even thinking, maybe she doesnt know how much you like it? maybe start kissing her and when she pulls away ask her why?

This is not "Thus Said the Lord" but a good firend and his new wife have experianced the exact same thing. Turns out that she had been date raped while in college and her new husbands breath brings back the memory and she tenses up and can't enjoy sex. she goes thru with it willingly because she loves my buddy but couldn't deal with kissing him.
She is getting help and things are improving. In knowing why it happnes has helped both of them a lot. Good Luck Gino

The kiss is a way to express love, when you love someone you need to close your eyes and have a sweet kiss for everything inside you to get out. making love without kissing is just sex to satisfy a sexual need and desire not more.

Many women enjoy to do sex without being in love and when a women stop kissing that means there's a feeling missing inside her, it might be the cause of anything... So try to talk and know what's wrong, maybe something you can fix before it's too late...
