Yes we went through that as well and a lot of drama (I didn't want to be sexless in my 30s), with a lot of marriage counseling we basically somehow returned to a point where he enjoys sex with me and wants it somewhat regularly. I know if I didn't make it easy and really enjoyable for HIM we would basically never have sex, so I make it extremely easy and enjoyable for him. He isn't bad, though, he gets me there every time as well. |
| This is one extreme. I was married to the opposite extreme. No sex 7 out of 10 years—and I was in my 30s. |
| Yeah wish my DH had a higher libido. |
Me three. |
Me too! Female horndog here. |
| Is it really that hard to lay on your back and spread your legs for 10 minutes if it makes your husband (who you say you love) happy? You make it sound like it's some gigantic chore. I don't always want it when DH does, but I rarely deny him. It's just not that big a deal to let him bend me over. |
I wish my wife thought the way you did. With us it only happens when she's in the mood (since she knows I'm always in the mood). |
My husband is 59 and he's like this. I keep waiting for him to slow down, but... |
I agree with you. I am high libido but even if I’m not in the mood I’ll do it with DH and 99.9% of the time it’s great! I think possibly women don’t realize that desire changes after you have been with someone for a long time. You have to sort of get yourself worked up. My body no longer physically responds to DH the way it did while we were dating, nor will I o quite as fast, but once we get started, it’s just as good for me. The “old” feeling isn’t coming back but that’s ok. |
Actually. It is. Because when I lie on my back (or bend over) and spread my legs he knows I’m only doing it to make him happy. He wants me to be enthusiastic and horny and seductive and not to “fake it”. I wish I was a better actress but I’m not. So he’s disappointed and I feel stupid. |
This post is actually written by a man!! |
A lot of this might be on your DH. Does he make it good for you? Does he know what gets you going? Sex is supposed to be fun and feel good. I feel like if you don’t want to do it, there has to be an underlying reason. |
yeah, my husband would 100 percent have sex every day. Also in our 40s. I know that every night he always holds out hope... (we end up doing it a couple times a week). I don't think there is anything wrong with him? |
Is he good at acting enthusiastic and interested when you want to talk about your feelings or gossip about people he doesn’t care about? This is the equivalent male skill. |
| We have sex about once a month because of her low libido. I service myself daily to avoid resentment toward dw and anxiety. |
