Sex File: We've only slept with each other — have we missed out on better sex?

Most couples who have been together twenty-something years and raised a family experience some decline in sexual frequency and excitement
Sex File: We've only slept with each other — have we missed out on better sex?

Suzi Godson: "Getting from emotional connection to sexual connection is a lot easier than trying to get straight to sex from a standing start. If it has been a while, it can be helpful to put a date in the diary and then plan to make it special."

We've been together since we were teenagers and I feel like we've been going through the motions in the bedroom for some time, but since our son went to boarding school, it's really exposed the lack of excitement in our sex life. 

We're only in our late thirties and I worry we've missed out by never sleeping with anyone but each other. Friends have suggested we "open up" our marriage but we definitely don't want to do that. What else can we try?
