I wonder if these folks had any pre-marital counseling?

[tiamat]

Three things:

TV

Women being taught that to be femenine is wrong.

Men having been systematically castrated, emotionally and socially in this society and penalized for being " Guys".

SAd.

Why is this restricted to men having low libido levels? Women have the same problem.

And the two couples names are Barrett and Cummings? ROFL

[John Beresford Tipton]

Do you notice that there are more of these complaints
since the milkmen stopped their daily rounds?

10 times a year I shoot for 350ish times per year, so to peak. Mrs. BW is a good sport.

She was mistaken. "Marriage was never consummated … The day we got married there was no sexual relationship at all, no honeymoon night and from that point forward — nothing," Wolfe said.

I think J-Lo's brief marriage to that dancer went something like this.

Why do men die first?

This is a question that has gone unanswered for
centuries......but, now we know.

If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to
protect her from the rat race...
you're a male chauvinist.

If you stay home and do the housework ...
you're a pansy.

If you work too hard ... there's never any time
for her.

If you don't work enough ... you're a
good-for-nothing bum.

If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay
.... this is exploitation.

If you have a boring repetitive job with low
pay ... you should get off
your lazy behind and find something better.

If you get a promotion ahead of her ... that is
favoritism..

If she gets a job ahead of you ... it's equal
opportunity.

If you mention how nice she looks ... it's
sexual harassment.

If you keep quiet ... it's male indifference.

If you cry ... you're a wimp.

If you don't ... you're an insensitive bastard.

If you make a decision without consulting her
.... you're a chauvinist.

If she makes a decision without consulting you
.... she's a liberated woman.

If you ask her to do something she doesn't
enjoy ... that's domination..

If SHE asks you ... it's a favor.

If you appreciate the female form and frilly
underwear ... you're a pervert.

If you don't ... you're gay.

If you like a woman to shave her legs and keep
in shape ... you're sexist.

If you don't ... you're unromantic.

If you try to keep yourself in shape ... you're
vain.

If you don't ... you're a slob.

If you buy her flowers ... you're after
something.

If you don't ... you're not thoughtful.

If you're proud of your achievements ... you're
full of yourself.

If you don't ... you're not ambitious.

If she has a headache ... she's tired.

If you have a headache ... you don't love her
anymore.

If you want it too often ... you're oversexed.

If you don't ... there must be someone else.


Men die first because they want to.

There have been plenty of threads about low sex drive in women. In those, the assertion is often made that this is an exclusive problem for women. I've argued it isn't, but men don't want to admit it.

Low sex drive among men is a taboo subject among men.

And the mailman.

TMI man, TMI ;)

[mattdono]

Ehm, well, that about sums it up...

[mlmr]

In my experience men who do not have sex with their wives tend to be alcoholics, mastubators and users of porn.
