No Fun in Sex Anymore


Over the years I am noticing that there is no fun in babymaking anymore, for many couples. My mom is one of 8 and my dad is one of 5...it appears that everyone was popping out multiple kids if they even looked at their spouse.

Nowadays, I hear so many horrror stories from couples who have been trying for months and years for one baby of their own. It seems that everyone is on fertility drugs and for some of them, there is still only a small reason for hope. What has changed in our society from that of long ago? Is it stress that is preventing us from conceiving? Is it the millions of electrical currents that are flying through the air that power our computers, cellphones, blackberries, etc? Could it be that we are just to busy to have sex now since we are working longer hours, taking on more family and friend obligations and pass out when we hit the bed? I would be interested to know if anyone is in medical field that can shed some light on this issue. I'm sure there has been multiple case studies and scientific findings that I just have not found yet.

To tell you the truth, it is scary. My husband and I have not tried to conceive yet but I am worried it may take a year or more. I read all of the articles on how to increase your chances for conception but there are so many couples now that have tried it all with no luck. A friend of a friend of mine is headed toward in-vitro for $20K in hope of starting a family.

Any thoughts (scientific or personal feelings) on this topic?
