Fact: Some men quit desiring their wives when they become fat pigs...stay in shape ladies (and men) and this won't be a problem!!!

[Interious]

I would venture to guess that non-masturbators are in the minority, for both sexes.

[quark]

Amen, sister. You've nailed it perfectly.

[Vigilantcitizen]

OOps...

but I know better from all the stories I've heard from friends that worked in nursing homes..

[CheneyChick]

You are so bad!

[Lorianne]

Your advice goes both ways :)

Subject: HIS & HERS DIARIES

HER DIARY
Sunday night I thought he was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn't flowing so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk, he agreed but he kept quiet and absent. I asked him what was wrong - he said, "Nothing." I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said it had nothing to do with me and not to worry. On the way home I told him that I loved him, he simply smiled and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior; I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you, too." When we got home I felt as if I had lost him, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there and watched T.V.; he seemed distant and absent. Finally I decided to go to bed. About 10 minutes later he came to bed and to my surprise he responded to my caress and we made love, but I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. I decided that I could not take it anymore, so I decided to confront himwith the situation but he had fallen asleep. I started crying and cried until I too fell asleep. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

HIS DIARY
Today the Packers lost, but at least I got laid.

Feel free to have these folks contact me as I have it the other way around!

lol...that was cute. :)

[Eagle Eye]

With kids, life worries, and just an overall familiarity wth one another, it becomes less of an occurance.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Maybe I just live at the 3rd SD from the norm.

I have 4 teenagers. They know what it means when we make them go to the movies or when the bedroom door is locked. They are torn whether is it 'sick' that we carry on or if it is 'cute' that we carry on.

[Spok]

Right on the money.

And the REAL test of manhood is accepting all of the above with humor and without whining or self pity.

[FreedomPoster]

Please. Think of the kittens.

[snopercod]

It's a true story, which makes it even funnier. (I had just come home from the US Army in Germany a week before, and...well...we were TIRED!)

Still married after 33 years, and I still have the Heathkit.

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

There are many wonderful men out there that do not abuse alcohol, porn or don't spend their evenings masturbating. If a man is refusing to have sex with his wife either partner could just have a low sex drive, or there is a lack of desire to be together.

[Centurion2000]

To these women ... learn to do some more interesting stuff in bed maybe.

And like the earlier poster said .. quit nagging.

The fellas I know who aren't "getting busy" on the home front usually have someone on the side. Someone who is younger, firmer & less whiney then what's at home.

No judgements.....just my personal observations.

"I'm convinced that low desire in men is America's best kept secret," Davis said.

I was married for over 20 years.. and I can say, this problem is more common than most are aware of. Been there, it is so difficult to deal with as it totally destroys your self image.
