WTF? Why would she agree to sex x times per week? She's uninterested. If every neglected, undersexed DH who felt rejected and ignored by his DW simply asked for more sex and got it, we'd have a lot fewer affairs. You should cheat on her OP. You're already on your way if you're removing your ring. I hope you get what you need from someone younger, better looking, skinnier, smarter and more well adjusted than DW. |
This is fine as long as you are ok with your spouse not actually desiring to have sex with you. If you flipped genders, and the man had no desire to have sex with his wife, but was willing to service her with a dildo if she really needed it, I doubt most people would call this some type of win-win. Better than nothing, probably. |
| op marriages have ups and downs. Maybe you're in a lull. Time to talk to her and do something. I"ve been married 8 yrs. I love my dh and find him very attractive. Do I always show it? probably not. Maybe she needs a reminder? but despite showing him I do feel like a very lucky woman. Maybe she needs to be more expressive. |

| Geez - OP is a big whiney douche. No wonder his DW doesn't want to bang him. |
| OP's not a douche. His frigid wife is the problem. |
I disagree. It's a problem if his wife has little sexual interest in him. Who wants to have sex with someone who couldn't care less? |
Why does he need to "cater to her"? Why shouldn't she be interested in having sex with someone she supposedly loves and married? If a wife complains about her DH not showing interested, would your first suggestion be for her to buy him stuff and take him and cater to him? Of course not. You seem to view sex as a commodity that should be used to coerce things from other people, and it's gross. |
Because he presents this in the context of their loving marriage where each meets the important needs of the other. So what? I do lots of things for my spouse that don't interest me. Why? She has expressed such things as an important need. Yes we would indeed have fewer affairs. I suspect most DH don't ever really ask for it, or they ask wrong. Does your wife have needs that you meet? Well bring all of this to the marital table, and present the his needs/her needs as an All-or-Nothing proposition. A loving, intimate, happy marriage in which both meet the needs of one another..... or sterile roommates. Why would I meet my wife's needs if she won't meet mine?
OP you should try my advice first. |
| Thing is that sex with an uninterested partner is basically masturbation. Some of what I want out of sex is just the physical sensation; but most of it has to do with the experience of another person who is into having sex with me. |
|
You place too much significance on her desire level.
It all comes down to attitude. Sex can be quite mutually satisfying even with a low desire partner IF she brings a good attribute into bed. |
| Time to trade in the clunker for a shiny new model? |
| Just like in real life, a junk post from a male gets all kinds of attention. |

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cater to HER, whatever she likes: maybe date nights, extra help around the house and with the kids, vacations, jewelry, telling her how much you love and admire her and how irresistible you find her. [/quote]

The idea is to make her feel great about herself and him, and to relax--if he were my husband that would get him somewhere often. |

What's worse, they're likely to feel like chumps after they've tried and end up feeling like they're just rewarding their wives for not having sex with them. At least that's how I felt when I tried upping my game by catering to my wife. |
