I’m with Hope on this one. Yes, I’d expect a honeymoon to be romantic and include a fair amount of sex.

I know that people today have been together a long time and by the time of the honeymoon this notion may be nothing special. But it is special to me!

Even when I’ve gone on vacation, having some romance and love making is what makes something feel like a vacation to me. It’s very important to me.

This is a sore subject in my marriage that has caused much misery. He knows how I feel, still nothing happens, then I get mad and the whole vacation feels ruined to me. But this never changed or improved. It’s aa huge problem for us.

However, our honeymoon was all that I imagined. We hadn’t been together for too long. We dated for 6 months and married 9 months later. The honeymoon was a fun, romantic adventure and it was sexy enough to feel like what I thought a honeymoon should. Call me naive.

*I see Divine’s post above: I’m sure we both initiated, and I know I flirted on our honeymoon and in the beginning. But, when he essentially lost interest and waited for me to do all the effort, I wanted him to lead and this is what caused our downfall.

Is this happening to you, Hope? Are you initiating and he is saying no? (I know of women who have that situation )
