You really need to work on that voice in your head.

I’m okay, really. Terrible was probably a strong word to use. But the reality is that I’m an overweight middle aged mom. I’m not winning any beauty pageants.

It’s just that DH tells me something that he finds attractive about me pretty much every time I see him, so multiple times a day. If I’m going to the gym, he will tell me that he likes my hair in a ponytail so my neck is exposed. If I’m getting home from the gym, he will say that I look good all flushed like that. If I’m in taking the kids to the pool in my middle aged mom tankini, he will say that my butt looks good. If I go in my high waisted bikini, he will wolf whistle and ask if I need help putting sunscreen on. Like touching the torso of his wife of twenty years is super hot and somewhat forbidden.

You might say that men can’t help their wives with body image issues, but they definitely can.

I think I will be single for the foreseeable future if that's the bare minimum we need to do as men. Seriously why do you need me to keep telling you you are still beautiful and multiple times a day. Hey good for you though. Are all married men like this? Wow

The ones who regularly get laid are.

Meh.

I do not know any woman who needs this much attention from their husband.

I am mostly close to first and second generation American women though so maybe there is something in the water here.

Recent immigrants have accepted that men and women are not the same. They rely on their social network for a lot of support. They rely on men for some but not anything near as much as this thread is indicating.

I certainly do. And unless these women are sleeping with their girlfriends, its doubtful theyre getting their fill of sexual desire from them.

Different strokes I guess.

You can get self esteem boost from people other than your spouse. You don't need your spouse telling you are beautiful all the time if other people do. You need it sometimes, sure. But not every day.

The day a woman starts getting sexual fulfillment and her sexual desire needs filled by someone else, is the beginning of the end of the marriage. And certainly not a day when you will be able to expect enthusiastic sex from her (unless she's fantasizing about the other person the whole time)

You assume that the person giving you sexual fulfillment has to be responsible for your self esteem. I don't. And most of the women I know don't.

Yes, the person who gives your sexual "juice" (feelings of desire and being desired) is the person you want to have sex. That's why women often have affairs that start with emotional connection, and then it rolls into sex as well.

I get what you are saying but I dont completely agree. Emotional affairs start well before "sexual juice" happens. Usually people who carry emotional affairs are not necessarily looking for sex or the feelings of being desired. They want to feel heard. These two needs are separate.

When people have crushes at work, its not because their co workers sexually desires them. It's because these people engage with them.

So if your argument is that men have to engage in frequeng discussions with their spouses, I agree. But they don't necessarily have to give them daily compliments on their beauty and sexual desireabilty. Nothing wrong with that, but it' not necessary in most other cultures.

LOL. Emotional affairs and sexual "juice" happens at the exact same time. Women can read men's faces, and desire is often one of the most visible male emotions. When that male coworker or friend is staring at her body, or looking at her across the room with lust... that's the juice flowing. When he says how beautiful she is, how gorgeous she is in that dress, how lucky her husband is, etc... that's the juice. It's a flow and a buildup and a process, and the emotional connection and the male desire flowing into her and unleashing her own desire is a huge part. But many men will never get this which is why a handful of charismatic, sexually confident men corner the market and the rest of y'all just whine and complain and jerk off alone.

So you think all these women with work crushes have these crushes because men at work tell them they are beautiful or look at them with sexual desire? You are completely wrong. Lol

Absolutely. The crushes that actually lead to sex do

Good that you narrowed it down to " crushes that lead to sex".

Most work crushes do not lead to sex. In most cases women are attracted to men who are being nice to everyone without any sexual intention. Many times these women are not the men's type but the men are decent humans who engage politely and attentively with everyone at work.

sure. Hence proving everyone's point- the guys who actually get laid are the ones who show their sexual desire to a woman. You seem clueless with women

NP. No, she's completely right. I've had several affairs, and they all stemmed from the intoxicating feeling of being desired -- something I never got from my husband.

If that explanation makes you sleep better at night, good for you.

You have deeper issues than the need to feel desired if you have had several affairs.

Sexual desire is all about being attracted to someone and then having them being good enough in bed. If they don't have decent foreplay and then stay hard long enough for you to come, it doesn't matter how rich or they are. You won't be excited to have sex with them again. So many guys are bad in bed that women would rather skip it and masturbate.

Yeah. I am clueless about women like you who are intentionally obtuse.

Let me try one more time: Women have work crushes on men who show them no sexual desire and men who may not even sexually desire them. Do you know that crushes include sexual desire?

So women have sexual feelings/ desire/ crushes towards men they work with even when these men show no sexual desire towards them. Because these women's sexual desire is not necessarily tied to men constantly telling them or making them feel they are beautiful/sexually desirable.

Your argument then that women need daily beauty affirmations from a man to want to have sex with him falls flat in the face of most work crushes. Those affirmations are usually absent, yet women sexually desire those co workers.

There's a scene in the movie Love Actually that has always stuck with me. The cheating husband of Emma Thompson buys his mistress an expensive bauble for a Xmas gift and Emma her something like mittens. Buy your wife the gift you'd give your mistress. Treat her and speak to her like she's the woman you're wooing and who is giving you hot sex. That's the secret.

Not really. Wooing a wife with body-image issues is like playing racquetball against drapes. Flirting and seduction is a little like improv in that your partner has to give you some kind of "yes, and ..." and play back. When everything is going only one way, it's not going to work. That's why she gets the mittens.

What youre too lazy to realize is its actually a huge advantage. when a woman has had body image issues her whole life and suddenly a man makes her feel like the sexiest thing on two legs, her libido is unleashed like a volcano exploding. but you seem too selfish, entitled, and frankly, insecure and unsexual yourself to ever be able to experience that

I’m a woman and you read like you are just looking for a fight. The poster’s suggestion to remember there is a volley in flirting was a good one. Your comment, by contrast, is how young vulnerable women get taken advantage of.

Let me explain this because YOURE too obtuse to understand (same reason you cant get laid):
Yes, women can experience spontaneous sexual attraction towards men. But what differentiates a crush from actually getting SEX is how these men speak to them, how they escalate and move things along. And that's almost certainly from expressing desire. As women have told you over and over again.... this is what gets the female libido flowing towards sex. For whatever reason, you are committed to not understanding, which is why other men get to have sex and you dont.

It was a horrible metaphor. "How women get taken advantage of" You mean how women end up having lots of hot sex? Yes, that's entirely my point, lol.

It’s just that DH tells me something that he finds attractive about me pretty much every time I see him, so multiple times a day.

Meh.

I do not know any woman who needs this much attention from their husband.

I am mostly close to first and second generation American women though so maybe there is something in the water here.

I certainly do. And unless these women are sleeping with their girlfriends, its doubtful theyre getting their fill of sexual desire from them.

Different strokes I guess.

You can get self esteem boost from people other than your spouse. You don't need your spouse telling you are beautiful all the time if other people do. You need it sometimes, sure. But not every day.

The day a woman starts getting sexual fulfillment and her sexual desire needs filled by someone else, is the beginning of the end of the marriage. And certainly not a day when you will be able to expect enthusiastic sex from her (unless she's fantasizing about the other person the whole time)

You assume that the person giving you sexual fulfillment has to be responsible for your self esteem. I don't. And most of the women I know don't.

Yes, the person who gives your sexual "juice" (feelings of desire and being desired) is the person you want to have sex. That's why women often have affairs that start with emotional connection, and then it rolls into sex as well.

I get what you are saying but I dont completely agree. Emotional affairs start well before "sexual juice" happens. Usually people who carry emotional affairs are not necessarily looking for sex or the feelings of being desired. They want to feel heard. These two needs are separate.

When people have crushes at work, its not because their co workers sexually desires them. It's because these people engage with them.

So if your argument is that men have to engage in frequeng discussions with their spouses, I agree. But they don't necessarily have to give them daily compliments on their beauty and sexual desireabilty. Nothing wrong with that, but it' not necessary in most other cultures.

LOL. Emotional affairs and sexual "juice" happens at the exact same time. Women can read men's faces, and desire is often one of the most visible male emotions. When that male coworker or friend is staring at her body, or looking at her across the room with lust... that's the juice flowing. When he says how beautiful she is, how gorgeous she is in that dress, how lucky her husband is, etc... that's the juice. It's a flow and a buildup and a process, and the emotional connection and the male desire flowing into her and unleashing her own desire is a huge part. But many men will never get this which is why a handful of charismatic, sexually confident men corner the market and the rest of y'all just whine and complain and jerk off alone.

So you think all these women with work crushes have these crushes because men at work tell them they are beautiful or look at them with sexual desire? You are completely wrong. Lol

So women have sexual feelings/ desire/ crushes towards men they work with even when these men show no sexual desire towards them. Because these women's sexual desire is not necessarily tied to men constantly telling them or making them feel they are beautiful/sexually desirable.

Your argument then that women need daily beauty affirmations from a man to want to have sex with him falls flat in the face of most work crushes. Those affirmations are usually absent, yet women sexually desire those co workers.

Let me explain this because YOURE too obtuse to understand (same reason you cant get laid):
Yes, women can experience spontaneous sexual attraction towards men. But what differentiates a crush from actually getting SEX is how these men speak to them, how they escalate and move things along. And that's almost certainly from expressing desire. As women have told you over and over again.... this is what gets the female libido flowing towards sex. For whatever reason, you are committed to not understanding, which is why other men get to have sex and you dont.

Lol. What distinguishes crushes from actually getting action from a married woman is a woman and a man with low self esteem and questionable morals. Its not a win.

I am a woman who regularly has crushes on men. The moment they send any signals my way, I am healed of the crush. Who wants to sleep with a man vying for a married woman. Eewww.

There's a scene in the movie Love Actually that has always stuck with me. The cheating husband of Emma Thompson buys his mistress an expensive bauble for a Xmas gift and Emma her something like mittens. Buy your wife the gift you'd give your mistress. Treat her and speak to her like she's the woman you're wooing and who is giving you hot sex. That's the secret.

Not really. Wooing a wife with body-image issues is like playing racquetball against drapes. Flirting and seduction is a little like improv in that your partner has to give you some kind of "yes, and ..." and play back. When everything is going only one way, it's not going to work. That's why she gets the mittens.

What youre too lazy to realize is its actually a huge advantage. when a woman has had body image issues her whole life and suddenly a man makes her feel like the sexiest thing on two legs, her libido is unleashed like a volcano exploding. but you seem too selfish, entitled, and frankly, insecure and unsexual yourself to ever be able to experience that

I’m a woman and you read like you are just looking for a fight. The poster’s suggestion to remember there is a volley in flirting was a good one. Your comment, by contrast, is how young vulnerable women get taken advantage of.

A lot of the recent posts in this thread read like one person writing both sides of an argument.

If they don't have decent foreplay and then stay hard long enough for you to come, it doesn't matter how rich or they are. You won't be excited to have sex with them again. So many guys are bad in bed that women would rather skip it and masturbate.

I mostly agree with you about desire and being good in bed. but many women don’t come from PIV and many men don’t understand this. it often isn’t about staying hard long enough, it’s about having other skills and not assuming getting (and staying) in is what it takes. Personally, I want to come before we get to that.

If DH wasn’t constantly telling me that he likes my body, that he wants to see me wearing xyz, and that he likes one body part or another, then all of my thoughts about my body would be from inside my own head or from my mom. And those are both terrible.

You really need to work on that voice in your head.

I’m okay, really. Terrible was probably a strong word to use. But the reality is that I’m an overweight middle aged mom. I’m not winning any beauty pageants.

It’s just that DH tells me something that he finds attractive about me pretty much every time I see him, so multiple times a day. If I’m going to the gym, he will tell me that he likes my hair in a ponytail so my neck is exposed. If I’m getting home from the gym, he will say that I look good all flushed like that. If I’m in taking the kids to the pool in my middle aged mom tankini, he will say that my butt looks good. If I go in my high waisted bikini, he will wolf whistle and ask if I need help putting sunscreen on. Like touching the torso of his wife of twenty years is super hot and somewhat forbidden.

You might say that men can’t help their wives with body image issues, but they definitely can.

I think I will be single for the foreseeable future if that's the bare minimum we need to do as men. Seriously why do you need me to keep telling you you are still beautiful and multiple times a day. Hey good for you though. Are all married men like this? Wow

The ones who regularly get laid are.

Meh.

I do not know any woman who needs this much attention from their husband.

I am mostly close to first and second generation American women though so maybe there is something in the water here.

Recent immigrants have accepted that men and women are not the same. They rely on their social network for a lot of support. They rely on men for some but not anything near as much as this thread is indicating.

I certainly do. And unless these women are sleeping with their girlfriends, its doubtful theyre getting their fill of sexual desire from them.

Different strokes I guess.

You can get self esteem boost from people other than your spouse. You don't need your spouse telling you are beautiful all the time if other people do. You need it sometimes, sure. But not every day.

The day a woman starts getting sexual fulfillment and her sexual desire needs filled by someone else, is the beginning of the end of the marriage. And certainly not a day when you will be able to expect enthusiastic sex from her (unless she's fantasizing about the other person the whole time)

You assume that the person giving you sexual fulfillment has to be responsible for your self esteem. I don't. And most of the women I know don't.

Yes, the person who gives your sexual "juice" (feelings of desire and being desired) is the person you want to have sex. That's why women often have affairs that start with emotional connection, and then it rolls into sex as well.

I get what you are saying but I dont completely agree. Emotional affairs start well before "sexual juice" happens. Usually people who carry emotional affairs are not necessarily looking for sex or the feelings of being desired. They want to feel heard. These two needs are separate.

When people have crushes at work, its not because their co workers sexually desires them. It's because these people engage with them.

So if your argument is that men have to engage in frequeng discussions with their spouses, I agree. But they don't necessarily have to give them daily compliments on their beauty and sexual desireabilty. Nothing wrong with that, but it' not necessary in most other cultures.

LOL. Emotional affairs and sexual "juice" happens at the exact same time. Women can read men's faces, and desire is often one of the most visible male emotions. When that male coworker or friend is staring at her body, or looking at her across the room with lust... that's the juice flowing. When he says how beautiful she is, how gorgeous she is in that dress, how lucky her husband is, etc... that's the juice. It's a flow and a buildup and a process, and the emotional connection and the male desire flowing into her and unleashing her own desire is a huge part. But many men will never get this which is why a handful of charismatic, sexually confident men corner the market and the rest of y'all just whine and complain and jerk off alone.

So you think all these women with work crushes have these crushes because men at work tell them they are beautiful or look at them with sexual desire? You are completely wrong. Lol

Absolutely. The crushes that actually lead to sex do

Good that you narrowed it down to " crushes that lead to sex".

Most work crushes do not lead to sex. In most cases women are attracted to men who are being nice to everyone without any sexual intention. Many times these women are not the men's type but the men are decent humans who engage politely and attentively with everyone at work.

Very common for women to have a work crush on the boss. Unlike her DH, the boss has authority over her and she has to do what he says without constant complaints and criticism. Whether or not the requirement to be submissive and obedient to male authority is what produces the crush is left as an exercise for the reader.

DP. I’m not in this fight, but this sounds hot.
I want my husband to assert authority over me and tell me that I have to do what he says without complaint or criticism.

Crushes are not intrinsically moral things. People have crushes based on physical attractiveness, and often nothing happens. But a huge proportion of sexual relationships, affairs or otherwise, happen as a result of the woman experiencing the man's overwhelming desire and attraction for her. It's intoxicating

Sexual affairs happen because someone expresses direct sexual interest. News at 11. Big deal.

Attraction and interest is not necessarily the result of direct expression of sexual interest.

Youre finally starting to get it... eureka! Yes, when men express sexual longing and desire for women, it often turns the woman on and leads to sex.

Now... was that so hard to concede?
