1. Emotional benefits could lead to better sensuality and desire.
Sex will never become a chore if you've got trust, honesty, and intimacy in a relationship, explains Brown Griggs.

An honest communication about your desires can certainly lead to better sex.What other parents are reading
2. You'll have less sexual anxiety.
Yes, sharing a life together can make sex more comfortable, but it shouldn't mean boring. You've got history together, and you know each other's body -- the path towards the big O should at least be a smooth one. Based on your sexual past together, you already know you will enjoy sex. If it's a new person, you'd be asking yourself: would he love my body? Will she like it if I do this or that? Do you want to worry about that again?3. It's easier to explore sex together.
Comfortable sex is fine, but having a partner you've known for a long time means it's easier to suggest to try new things together. It's easier to jump into the more adventurous deeds in the bedroom. It's a perk that comes with the emotional benefits of having just one sexual partner.
4. It helps your relationship and individuality grow.
After-sex conversations are helpful to increase intimacy in relationships, and when your monogamous relationship is in a good state, you'll notice it in the bedroom as well. It’s a full cycle, which when sustained over time could work wonders. Plus, knowing someone wants to be intimate with you -- and only you -- should be a confidence builder, right?
5. You don't have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases.
Blunt reality right there.
