  Honeymoons are wasted on newlyweds. My husband and I say it ALL the time!

  On your honeymoon you're exhausted ( especially if you've had a medium to big wedding,)you're under pressure because you're afraid (wrongly) your new spouse expects you to "perform" - I dunno some sort of sexual miracle act, usually you've been traveling a while to get to this supposed uber-romantic destination so you're tired from that, and let's face it, unless you've been dating/living together for a really long time, you just don't know each other all that well.

  After almost a decade of marriage, husband and I took a week of "us" time at a not terribly distant nor ultra swanky nor ultra romantic location from our home. WAY better than our honeymoon by a mllion times!

  Way. Better.

  'Nuff said.

  I have not been on my honeymoon yet, but do plan to go somewhere nice and relaxing after the wedding. I think I am going more for the "relaxing" part :)

  We went on a cruise to Mexico on our honeymoon. We were shopping in Cozumel on one of the days & any time my husband thought I was taking too long in a store, he would walk next door to a bar (they were everywhere). Eventually he drank so much that he was wobbling around saying "dollar cerveza?" (beer) because he was able to get all of the bartenders to bring the price down to $1. We reached the end of the shops and were ready to go to the ship so we started emptying our pockets for cab fair. It cost $6 to take the cab (the ship was very far) and we only had $4 left with us! So my very drunk new husband and I walked the entire way back to the ship. When we got back to the ship, I discovered that we actually had $6 instead of $4 because I hid some cash in my bra. So we walked for nothing! It was very stressful at the time, because he was so drunk and I basically had to carry him, but it's really funny to us now. Especially when our friends got the postcards we sent them while on the way back to the ship. He wrote on them while drunk and most of them said "I love love love love love love you so much! Good good friend!"

  best way to deal with this I have seen is some friends from college-sleep in your town after the wedding, and go on a honeymoon a couple weeks-a month later, when you're actually recovered.

  My Husband and I had a huge wedding. When we finally got settled into our hotel I would have loved to just sleep, but my husband is a sex machine and even exhaustion wouldn't keep him down. After relaxing a little I was ready to, and it was great. I think for my husband that after thinking about "it" all day he was more than ready. After the sex though we sleept like the dead for over 12 hours.

  In response to DeadlyPoison: Sex is not overrated if its good.

  on both of my honeymoons (yes I have been married twice) each time my wife did not offer the goods as promised. Yes I realize the honeymoon is not just about sex, but gimme a break.

  My first wife came to bed in flannnel two piece sleepwear! Enough said.

  My second and now current wife and I had too tired sex before we drifted off to sleep the first night. Then the rest of the honeymoon, my new wife seemed sexually disinterested, despite being in the paradise of Tahiti. Other than the preferred crazy sex I was hoping for, we still had a great time snorkeling, snuba, yachting, bike rides, shopping, eating.

  In both of my pre-marital scenarios we only sex once or twice, despite both of my fiancees at their respective times were almost begging for sex, sucking on my fingers, dry humping me, etc.

  Did I get the wrong message? Was it all a ploy? Once a woman has the goods then she doesn't need to put out or does she become bored with the new purchase? Advice please.

  I got to say, no sex? Ahh!!!! I just came back from a month long vacation to visit family in Central America. My boyfriend couldnt go with, and 5 minutes after I arrived at his house we were going at it, all night. I can't imagine what our honeymoon is going to be like. Sex is the best way to relax and get rid of all the streess. Cant live without it!
