What is the one food that will make women stop having sex?

Wedding cake

Mine was.. I don't what his deal was. I got so frustrated I asked him if I was allowed to seek out other people since he was holding out on me (and my ex was back in town). He said no, the frustration continued, then I packed up and left him.

I can't imagine a sexless marriage ending well.. but maybe that's because I'm a girl who still has libido or something and he had none whatsoever.

"I'm game for almost anything, but her idea of adventurous sex is leaving the light on."

I had a couple girlfriends like that. But to balance things out....I've had the good fortune to have a couple sex FREAK girlfriends too. hehehe

What? The guy doesn't want sex? I'd have sex with my wife all day long every day! But apparently there was a microscopic clause on our son's birth certificate that says we have to remain celibate!

/I'm supposed to do a sleep study tonight because of sleeping problems.
//I suspect I know what the problem is, and a sleep study isn't the answer (unless it has a happy ending!)

Wow. I thought only the wives were keeping things sexless. Apparently there's some dipshiat men out there who don't know how to use what god gave them? Come over to my place sweetheart, I'll treat you right.

On a side note, my ex-friend's girlfriend was holding out on my old buddy because she was apparently having sex dreams about me. I screwed her for a good 2 or 3 months after they broke up. Best sex of my life. I've never made a girl come like that before. In the end it was well worth it. We'll never be friends again I'm sure, but I certainly have no regrets. Except that it didnt' work out between me and her. Just not enough in common beyond the bedroom chemistry. Which was odd to me, because most of my previous relationships were the opposite. I need me another girl that enjoys sex now.

This was a shock to me as well. He also would hang off me in public and had a bad habit of asking me "what are you thinking right now?" so I just don't know what to think. He had a penis, I'm sure of it.

I used to have a sexless marriage after my son was born, so I'm getting a real kick out of these replies.

cheshirecatsmileyface 2007-12-16 01:27:30 PM  
there were maybe two occasions in the past 5 years with my now-husband that we went up to two weeks without sex, because of circumstances out of our control.

that was hellish.
i would never do that ON PURPOSE. For YEARS.

hell, the idea that our sex life might get less frequent when we have kids is actually a pretty compelling reason for me to not have kids.

I used to worry about that. Now, since it appears that I am unable to have kids, I don't guess I'll ever have to find out. I've seen it happen to a couple of my friends. Ugh.

even if we do have kids, i fully intend to hire a nanny to take them a couple hours a day so that we can get our uh...quality time in.

mmm. quality time.

Why you have kids it is not the time factor, it is the tired factor!
I never thought I would be too tired for sex, then I had kids and I came to know a whole new level of exhausted!

Just got done with a relationship where I did say that often, just because a lot of the time she wouldn't even talk otherwise.

Sexless marriage? How about a sexless relationship...

 
Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox 2007-12-16 02:12:05 PM  
Ok, to summarize the facts:

Susan Yager-Berkowitz (I'll ignore the hyphen) is a "scientist" who decides to "get the other side of the story" on sexless marriages. She says that women are too often blamed for being frigid and dispassionate and causing their husbands to stop trying. She sets out to prove this assumption wrong.

She conducts her survey and most of the men tell her that their wives:
Are frigid
Are dispassionate
Are unwilling to do anything adventurous
Do not give them any emotional reinforcement

She then ignores this, blames the husbands, says it's because they watch porn online, and writes an article called, "It's not you, it's HIM."

Fark this pseudo-scientific biatch.

 
Fat Dave 2007-12-16 02:13:42 PM  
I just assumed that most marriages see a big decline in sex. Mine sure has. I've never had to go more than a couple of months, so there are worse, but I figured it was normal.

Now, there are times when I'm the one who's not interested, but that is a very small percentage of the total, and it's usually because I'm pissed off at her anyway.

When we were younger we had 'make-up' sex, but now we just stew in our anger all night.

I've been married 12 years, and can't afford a mistress :)

 
Ima4nic8or 2007-12-16 02:14:49 PM  
Sad to say I can somewhat relate. The wife just doesnt do it for me the way she used to. I blame marriage and children. Prior to that crap it was exciting. Seeing multiple women, figuring out how schedule things so that they never saw each other, etc.. The wife was always a bit plump and not particularly gorgeous but I had other women that were, so no biggie. Now that it is just her and I, and there is no adventure/game to it, its just boring. I wank it to porn more often than I bother getting any stink from her.

 
strife 2007-12-16 02:15:02 PM  
but at least we're still preserving the sanctity of marriage by not allowing the gheys to get married.

While the marriages may be sexless, the individuals might not be.

No thanks Im trying to cut down.

 
Smeggy Smurf 2007-12-16 02:17:07 PM  
My ex sure was getting a lot of sex before she left me. 11 men in 4 months. I'm lucky the last time I got any from her I didn't catch the Guatemalean Dick Rot.

Agreed. In fact, I have one kid out of the house, the baby is sleeping... I'm going to go take a nap.

 
GladGirl 2007-12-16 02:19:40 PM  
I require sex daily in a relationship. Any less frequently is grounds for dismissal.

 
Spartan Dave 2007-12-16 02:19:48 PM  
After 42 years of marriage, my wife & I have sex an average of once a week, and it's still great. Eat your hearts out, losers.

h to the 'ojo: I'm beginning to think the best marriage is one where you never get married

That isn't the only answer. If I quit trying, for whatever reason, I would expect him to leave or screw around on me. Most men are ridiculously easy to please, and for the life I am allowed to live I can easily be bothered to break out the knee pads every once in a while.

 
Bacontastesgood 2007-12-16 02:24:05 PM  
So, they found 4000 couples in an online survey (warning:BS) where the man was the problem, that is the one not interested in sex? And the pull quotes they could get from this vast survey are that the man isn't interested because the women they are with are totally not into it.

They also avoid the touchy, but much more interesting question of what proportion of couples have undersexed women vs undersexed men.

 
Captain Hollywood 2007-12-16 02:25:12 PM

Funny how the K word never did come up in TFA - but we're not expecting depth from the New York Post, now are we?

cheshirecatsmileyface: hell, the idea that our sex life might get less frequent when we have kids is actually a pretty compelling reason for me to not have kids.

If you think having kids is all about 2am feedings and cleaning up diaper stank and dealing with more puke than you thought could possibly come from a 25-pound child, and all of that cutting into sexytime then yeah - hold off on the kids.

Hold off on buying the house, too - because mowing the lawn and cleaning the gutters and plowing the driveway will also take away from time spent thrashing through the percales.

No wonder you are so "popular".

 
Oh_Enough_Already 2007-12-16 02:29:06 PM  
Even if you could conceivably "commit" your heart to one person for the rest of your life believing that you'll be happy or able to only have sex with one person for the rest of your life is a recipe for disaster.

What ruins marriages is not so much the fact that one party got off elsewhere but the lying that went into it.

Make it clear from the get go that a "don't ask, don't tell" policy is in effect regarding extra-marital dalliances and you'll both be better off for it.

 
Bacontastesgood 2007-12-16 02:29:14 PM  
Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox

Nicely summarized, but the woman in question is a "writer", her husband is the "sexologist" and therefore the pseudoscientific biatch, er, bastard.

Agree, though, terrible "study". No one doubts that there are men who are or become uninterested in sex. But be honest about the freaking results you find for why that is. And do something more than an online survey for farks sake.

 
DrForrester 2007-12-16 02:30:23 PM  
What's "sex?"

 
mmonnens 2007-12-16 02:30:30 PM  
Heh, this makes impotency and celebacy sound preferable to marriage or having a sex partner.

1. Cheaper - gifts, rented rooms, etc.
2. Less stress - sneaking around, dealing with a demanding spouse/lover.
3. No kids caught in the middle.

Mind you that will finish the human race, but no great loss there.
