\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Romantic burnout caused by spending too much time together during lockdowns has been blamed for lackluster lovers starting to stray.<\/p>\n

Sex therapist Dr. Tammy Nelson reported a 45 percent leap in inquiries about\u00a0discussing the subject\u00a0with partners in recent months.<\/p>

She said: \u201cCouples are now keener than ever to spice things up a bit. Many have started to outsource their needs in the shape of open relationships.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

While men are usually the ones who suggest more sexual freedom, it is women who want it to continue, it is claimed.<\/p>\n

Dr. Nelson said: \u201cWomen are now much more in charge and much more demanding.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re seeing more open relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cMen bring it to the table, women think about it for a long time, then after they do it, women don\u2019t want it to stop. Men are the ones who are quicker to say, \u2018I don\u2019t want to do it any more\u2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWomen are likely to say \u2018I don\u2019t want to stop\u2019.\u201d<\/p>
