"But personally, I can think of a lot more backrubs I've enjoyed than sexual experiences. On the one hand, it's kind of sad."

"And on the other hand you have different fingers."

"Err.."

Bwhahaha..All I was trying to say was, backrubs can be incorporated into sex, and can be a part of an effort to bring spice into a stale relationship, same as a romantic, candlelight dinner.

Imagination can be a good thing.

I can't help it that I'm a perfectionist.

Watch it you may eat your words someday.

I am looking forward to it.

I am just speaking of my own experiences.

If I eat my words it means good things have happened.

"I've never heard of a guy having low sex drive. My wife, and the wives of many of my friends, however....."

Once a month, do something off the wall, out of the blue.

Like you were young people having to sneek around under your parents nose.

[Concentrate]

You slut! :)

Condidering that most women are fatter than they ever have been...

While most men are gods with washboard stomachs and bulging biceps and full heads of hair and shiny white teeth, of course. You forgot that part....for some reason or other.

"I fell and fell hard guess I will have to hit bottom LOL worse than a drunk."

You ripped those closet doors slap off the hinges. I say good for you.

When I was younger, I was on the opposite end of what your doing, I was the younger man and I loved every minute of it.

My doc insists that Viagra will do the trick, but he didn't inform the client that each pill is a major investment. I read that the Frenchies have a new pill that is called "the weekender" because that's how long the effect lasts. It is claimed that a man on this pill is quite visibly enhanced, non-stop for two days. There is, the real chance a man may have a heart attack due to over-exertion. That's a win-lose situation, but the wife gets his assets.

My wife makes sure things are exciting. I must admit that the threesomes are a lot of fun and really keep the fire going.

The "BACKLASH" is going to be BRUTAL & 'MALE!!'"

He is man, hear him roar. LOL!

I did not want, nor did I ever desire sex so badly, that I would commit adultery.
Would he be alive today if I had cuckolded him?
No.
Kind of a twisted version of a trophy wife.
Having a wife, he had no furthor desire to have sex with her.
After the divorce, I was the most desirable woman ever created.
Untill the serious attempted reconcilliation.
This marital problem is not a joke.
Based on personal non-scientific annectdotal comparisons, I say more men withhold sex from their wives, than beat them.
I am not certain it is a punishment issue.
I know many normal happily married couples have "issues", and they usually work them out in private.
But I know, based on both personal and anectdotal(sp) experience, that men are just as apt to be sexually "frigid" as the widely accepted female stereotype.

BTW
I did not murder my ex.Nor could I have saved him from his fate, if only I was a little more "understanding" of his problems.
Yes a woman, and her male partner is to blame for his death.I damn near bankrupted myself trying to get the local DA in charge to investigate.I, his mother, father,brother, and co-workers failed.

Nice of you to offer your learned opinion, that if I had only screwed around while we we married, he would be alive today!
Thank you so much!
You have added a degree of clarity on this topic that wil require carefull study by professionals.

Add fatigue and financial stress, and you have most of the picture. Eliminate or learn to momentarily ignore the problems, and practice, practice, practice............

Oh, and ladies, feminine does NOT have to be slutty, I have always preferred the 'Ivory Girl' type.
