Depression might come to mind …..

Answer by Dizzy
I would guess that a decrease would be caused primarily by mental causes.

Why you ask?
How many times can you do the same thing over and over again before getting bored, even if it does feel good.

A physical reason may be a decline in libido due to aging.

Answer by Swanky
could be both. My friend that’s a doctor said she’s been asked this question by people in relationships and she tells them….you no longer love that person. IDK.

Answer by Kara
Could be physical or mental.
Physical:
Depression, lack of exercise, changes in routine, body chemistry changes, medications (birth control, anti-depressions, etc).
Mental:
Depression (again), work problems, lack of interest (in sex or in the partner themself), boredom, or just other things on the mind.
Maybe set aside one night and do all kinds of romantic things – have a candlelit dinner (something made specially for that night), listen to romantic music, have good conversation (nothing about work, kids, or the problems you may have), wine, etc. Then move to the bedroom for a massage. Let it move on from there.
Or talk about the problem, openly and honestly. If you determine it is a physical problem, see a doctor.
Maybe you’ve just reached a point in your relationship where you are comfortable with having sex less often. Despite what they say, most couples aren’t having sex 6 nights a week – discuss with your partner, and shoot for what’s comfortable for you, 2 or 3 times a week, whatever you decide.

It could be any number of things. One or both of them may be too tired or stressed out. Clinical depression can also play a role. Also, sometimes when one partner is angry or resentful towards the other and doesn’t know how to express it effectively, it’s not uncommon for that partner’s interest to wane.

Answer by TIM
It could be that after 10 years you have just fallen into a rut, there are kids in the house all the time and it’s not as exciting as it used to be.
I’m happy to say that hasn’t happened to my Wife and I. We’ve been together 17 years and still get it on at least 5 times a week.

Answer by Feral
It could be boredom. Spicing it up could be as simple as finding your g-spot w/ a good vibrater or as complicated as making the spouse cool in your eyes. Associating him or her with a trait that’s sexy, might be just what one needs.
