How many women would be fine to never have sex with DH if it didn't bother them?

[Anonymous]

If your DH truly did not care, and it would have no negative impact on your marriage, would you be fine to never have sex with your husband again?

[Anonymous]

Yep.

[Anonymous]

Yep. I do it once a week to keep him happy, but I could 100% live without it.

[Anonymous]

Absolutely

Would you want to have sex with someone else?

I am sure he wants to do it more often than I do, and we do it once a week (which is pretty good because we work opposite shifts and it’s just difficult sometimes). I’d probably be okay with once every two weeks but the fact remains that even if I’m not ripping his clothes off with lust, I do need and crave the connection and closeness that comes with it.

And he gets to have sex with as many other women as he wants, or he has to be celibate too?

Unfortunately it's not up to me. My husband is the one who has lost all interest in sex. So would it be ok with me? No - but I don't want to leave him or break his heart by having an affair.

I’m 35, we have been together 10 years and his sex drive has been a problem the whole time for me. I was hoping I would level off by now and we would naturally sync up but that’s not what happened.

I don't know if I'd say never again, but for now, yes I'd be very happy with it. I have zero interest or need for it in my life. I'm only 39 and we've been together 8 years.

I've offered to let him go elsewhere for sex and he won't do it... yet at least.

DH and I both around 50, together 30 Years... we BOTH get snippy without it. About 2 Times a week depending on timing schedules (kids and ours) etc.

Wow, all this duty sex is making me sad. You could never convince me to get married again. I love having a GF with nearly the same sex drive as me. If there came a time when she didn't want sex, she wouldn't do it anyway "for the sake of our marriage," or to not break my heart. She just wouldn't do it and I'd move on to the next. If there is one thing I've learned from this board, if you don't want to get stuck in sexless marriage, don't get married. You have all scared me straight and I thank you for that.

No I would hate it. I want to be desired sexually. I feel best with sex 3-4 times per week. It’s the ultimate stress relief, it’s natural, fun and healthy.
