One of the only things Dr. Phil has ever said that I agree with, "If you want sex on Friday, you better start getting her ready on Wednesday." A woman is more a slowcooker than a microwave oven.

The common statement is that getting married kills a woman's sex drive (according the men who complain). It's not that we're not always in the mood, but being grabbed at like bread dough and expected to get all hot and bothered by it just isn't going to work. Just like before the marriage, women still like the attentiveness. The hair stroking, the sweetness, a kiss for no reason. Things that were done before getting married and often forgotten, but it's not deemed as necessary anymore. It might work wonders for both if couples remembered how things were when the first fell in love and kept working on that.

Because women do have high sex drives. It just works differently. (i.e., a man might get in the mood over any physical sensation. women tend to go more by the senses of sound, smell, and touch. which is why a sexy voice, cologne, or those cheesy love songs often work)

Sure, but no sense in waiting around for that to happen. Women can step up and occsionally kiss HIM for no reason. Maybe he is just too distracted by things to remember to do the little things. If she is just sitting waiting for him to fire her up and then getting offened if he wants sex without much forplay... That attitude is right along with what our society says these days. It is all the men's fault and nothing is ever her fault.

An interesting discussion here...

I doubt that there is one marriage on earth where the two individuals have libidos that are the same, or are in sync. This is just a fact of life.

Each couple has to work this out between them, with understanding and acceptance that marriage itself is a lifelong opportunity to learn how to better show love and affection to each other.

Love is action, not feeling.
