Sex-Starved Marriages - Women Struggle to Cope With Spouses' Low Sex Drives

Really? It picks up again. I wasn't aware that it could stop working.

My guess is that both Suzan and Chris have twisted views of sex. She'd an exotic dancer, and he was a customer? That's how they met - and then married - and she kept working? That's WEIRD. He masturbates for release when his wife wants him? That's cruel. Sex is reward and punishment to them. They are clueless.

But there's not much to understand about a penis. :-)

Glad to hear it.

Maybe men have low sex drives because they'll be nagged about it?
Ever hear about wives having their husbands arrested for sexual harrassment?
It's happened.
*chuckle*
Reminds me of this list I saw today, have fun with it. Made me laugh my butt off:

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.

"You know far too much about your future in-laws."

Believe me, it wasn't because I was interested. When MIL flies in for a visit, gets a buzz and wants to moan about her situation, a man's got to do what's necessary to maintain good relations.

Umm. How did they get your future spouse if they haven't touched each other since their wedding?

Pregnant before marriage?

Adoption?

This was a re-marry after divorce.

Bravo!!! will done sir!

A low time ago, when I was a young fellow, the girls were pregnant before marriage, so the subject of sexual harmony was never in question...today, well that is a different story, a man is expect to please his spouse, anytime at her request or is it demand?

My wife and I LOLOL at southern couples complaining about their sex lives...many of the women here in Tennessee consider it "work". Geez, kids...if all I had to look forward to was "missionary position twice a month with the lights out"; I'd probably be complaining about my job, as well. :-) By the way...the poster above who quoted the Scripture from Corinthians NAILED it! G-d's advice is ALWAYS the BEST advice! (In my early 50's, and I STILL feel that marriage ROCKS!)

Men with low sex drive? Oh no! Are they now to become a protected group, due to the small number?

What is a low sex drive anyway? Once a day?

TRy once every six months, or less.
Usually due to being married to a liberated woman.

"Now it's been 15 months since they've had sex."

OMG! That is awful. What's wrong with these people?

You thought we could "spice it up" *L* well, spice may not be what is needed.
My late husband had no sex drive at all the last few years of his life. It is one of the effects of diabetes. One he never thought would actually happen to him. It did. Let me remind any diabetic men here to TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES - it is your obligation as a husband. It can and will happen to you, too.
It is devastating - to the woman moreso than the man, I think, because his appetite is just gone along with the ability. If I marry again and ever find myself in a sibling type relationship with my husband, I am divorcing him. That is not marriage.

Yes.
It is terrible, the anguish is awful.
Where can I find a woman who actually LIKES sex?

A marriage without intimacy is no marriage - I agree...

"or their wives look like this:"

LOL! I'm not a man, but if I were, I think my desire would be totally gone for the foreseeable future. ;)
