'At 32, with only straight relationship experience and less than a year of marriage under my belt, I've grown resistant to the idea of clinging to a certain sexual identity for the rest of my life.' Sex FOMO is real — here's how some women deal with it:
radio show and podcast. “Studies have shown that women, more often than men, get bored in a long-term relationship. Everyone craves variety, but women often blame their low libido as the problem, when really they need to explore their own desires in their relationship.”

Natasha, 32, of Raleigh, NC, didn’t start to lust for new things from her husband until well into their eight-year marriage. “I realized that marriage came with a lot of compromise and sacrifice in many areas, and that sex could no longer be one of them for me,” she says. “I was absolutely short-changing myself before.
Other women scratch the sex FOMO itch by opening their monogamous relationships, often temporarily and within certain constraints. Naomi, 38, of New York, was in her mid-30s when she met her husband, and had already ticked most sexual adventures off her bucket list. “Having a threesome andwas the last sexual frontier I wanted to explore,” she says. “I brought it up to my husband, and for months we just fantasized about the idea.
Still other women aren’t necessarily craving a different kind of sex with their partner, but rather, the space to explore their bodies and interests alone — space that can be hard to come by in the context of marriage and motherhood. That’s the case for Jenny Nordbak, 31, a Los Angeles-based writer who has two toddlers with her husband of five years.
