I like how there are many ways to interpret this sentence.

It could be sad. A story of two people falling out of love. The lack of sexual gratification could be a sign of greater troubles in their relationship. It should hurt to be drifting apart, but at this point they’ve subconsciously accepted what is happening to them.

It could be a story about aging. Many people slowly lose their sex drive as they get older. The couple in this story could be accepting that sex doesn’t satisfy them like it used to and they’re not as bothered by it as they would be if they were younger.

Or it could simply be about love. Falling asleep in each others arms could be more physically and emotionally rewarding than sex. Being told “I like sleeping more than sex” can be an ego buster. Being told “I like sleeping next to you more than sex” is not.

I think all of those and this, too: If you no longer have fireworks exploding inside you're not alone in that feeling.

For me, once I’m tired, that’s it. Point of no return.

Sometimes, the only thought I have is, "coffee."

There’s another “S” word that could also possibly be substituted 😂👍
