I am married and have a great sex life. I hope my wife doesn't find out.

Rose Red: Fluff Girl: 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.

No wonder you are so "popular".

I am getting a real kick out of these replies because I don't get the sex.

I know a guy who gave up sex within his marriage. He and his wife have been through counseling, all sorts of doctors and such but they just can't figure out why he suddenly lost his sex drive.

My hunch is that it's because his wife went from 115 pounds to 180 in their first year of marriage. But keep in mind, I'm no professional.

Bacontastesgood: 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.


You're right, but Ms. Hyphenated-Hypthen was also involved in the study and writing. Maybe she's the one who turned this study into complete trash or maybe it's just her dumbass husband "sexologist", who knows. They should print this article out and give it to undergrad college students in logic courses for their final exam, letting them point out all of the fallacies and misrepresentations in an hour.

randomizetimer: Oh_Enough_Already: 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.

Until one spouse gives the other V.D.


That has always been my problem with the acceptable affair concept. The marriage may go great until theres a big pink elephant named herpes in the room.

Do you think a sexless marriage is bad, try this.... I have had sex twice in the last five years. Both times, my wife got pregnant.

/Damn Catholics and their views on birth control.

GladGirl: I require sex daily in a relationship. Any less frequently is grounds for dismissal.

So you require your SO to earn his/her "Red Wings"?
 
2007-12-16 02:42:20 PM
Found this the other day, and applied it to my past 3 relationships...

1 companionate love
1 romantic love
1 consummate love

Makes sense to me.

I just told my g/f last night that I was too tired, so I'm really getting a kick out these replies.

/up for 24+ hours after working for 12.
//told her i'd just lay there, if she was cool with that.
/wasn't cool :(
 
2007-12-16 02:46:20 PM
Well I really don't understand it. Going on 24 years of marriage now, my wife still has a good figure. We screw at least twice a week unless we are sick.

That is way down from twice a day when we were in our twenties, but I can't do anything as well as I could in my twenties.

If your sex life is not good, might I suggest, fantasy, kinky things, different positions, watching pron together, checking with a doctor, and finally a marriage counselor.

/ just had a great big steak dinner on our anniversary.
//and then some sex

I can imagine a few awkward conversations it could lead you to have. For example, explaining to all of your friends and family why your wife feels the need to get farked by 100 other strange men but she's not a whore. Explaining to the kids who "Hunter" "Dave" and "T.J." are to name another. But yeah, STDs and taking care of other people's kids thinking they're your own should be the big two.

As a married man who just had a hot quickie with the wife about 90 minutes ago, after which she lovingly made me lunch, I'm getting a REAL KICK out of these replies.
 
2007-12-16 02:49:24 PM
My marriage is sexless, for about 48 hours at a time, max.

2007-12-16 02:51:19 PM
Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: 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.


I noticed this same phenomenon too and was wondering why no one in the thread had pointed it out. Hats off Mr. StarFox

Normal healthy men never stop wanting sex - but if it's 10 minutes of the same old missionary squeezed into the late night hours after kids are asleep, many men would rather go to sleep.

I got the "I'm too tired." from my boyfriend 2 weeks ago. It was the first time ever in our 3 year relationship that he turned sex down. :(

This, ladies and gentlemen, is part of the reason why moving in with my girlfriend has screwed my grades over.
 
2007-12-16 03:11:41 PM
Yeah, I don't want to have sex with my wife so much anymore. Wanna know why? Because after having a clinically sexless marriage for the vast majority of the last 14 years I gave up. When you get sex only every 2-3 months at a minimum you start to get a little bitter. If you would rather go clean the farking bathroom than have sex then frankly I don't want you either.

Hey, I'm in shape. I'm attentive. I know damn well I'm no slouch in bed. But as of approximately two years ago I no longer gave a damn whether we had sex or not. So yeah, the authors of the study are right. There are some men who don't want to bang their wives.

well duh - it was just about taking every damn piece of damning feedback & STILL harping on the predetermined conclusion she clearly wished to draw before starting out.

was a shiatty 'article' & hence my attempt at just more talk of boobs. glorious boobs.

Holy crap! I can't imagine going without. Longest was 9 months but that was an awful pregnancy where I would have beaten you to death with a baseball bat if you'd have looked at me funny.
I thought my libido was normal with a few times a week.
 
2007-12-16 03:17:38 PM
The wife has to be a triple input to keep the interest up, so to speak.

I found it interesting that the study said that men what to do what they seen online, and that's unrealistic. I think this is another case of the "Deep Throat" Myth, where feminists once claimed porn used mirrors and tricks to create the idea of a "Deep Throat." We now know of course this is not true. With numerous sites available that show real people having really wild sex, I don't think it's too unrealistic to request what you see.

Thank farking god someone brought this up. I'm sure it has A LOT more to do with the lowered libido than the "survey" lets on. But if my wife got unreasonably* fat, I'd quit hitting it as well. Sorry. (Only naturally fat chicks give better blowjobs....) I mean, I'd try to do whatever I could to help, (and I'd certainly stay in shape as well) but one can only do so much...

Why can't my wife do the things those girls on porn sites do? Like, shave..or bathe...or have multiple O's....or be younger...

stayclassy : I don't think love is a static entity; it doesn't stay constant throughout the course of a marriage. It must either grow or diminish. Change is the fundamental principle of our universe; it's possible to love someone in 1980 and to "fall out of love" with that same person in 1990.

Back when I was young and handsome: "---Ooh, you sexist pig! I wouldn't go out with you if you were the last man on the planet!"

Now that I am old and ugly: "---Hi, glad to meet you, how much do you make and when can I move in?"

MORAL: If you don't like not getting any when you are young and handsome, just wait until you are not giving any when you are old and ugly.
 
2007-12-16 03:31:05 PM
Ultimately, if your spouse doesn't make you happy in the sack - or at least make an effort - you have no obligation whatsoever to stay faithfull.

Wouldn't it be better for one's own integrity to leave the recalcitrant spouse rather than philander behind his or her back?
