[quote=Anonymous]40-something woman here.  No, as a general rule I would not get "angry" when a man wants sex.  I believe that the need for sex - the orgasm, the feel of touch, the emotional connection - is a basic human need.  And I believe that each partner owes it to the other to discuss and address problems that come up in their sex life.

Most women who otherwise like sex will - at an emotional level - want to have sex as long as they feel 1) emotionally connected with their partner; 2) attractive and appreciated and3)  are not resentful about something in the marriage.  (I say at an emotional level because there are many things that also can inhibit a woman's sex drive physically.)

The only time I have was when my marriage was falling apart and my ex would not do anything about it (even acknowledge or talk about our problems).  I did resent him wanting sex when he was so clearly checked out and not willing to work on things.

-are you sure there are no physical issues that have changed her sex drive?  
-are you not connected as much as you used to be? When was the last time you tried a new couples-only activity or hobby?     
-are you sure she isn't angry or resentful about something else?
-do you sincerely compliment her for both her looks and what she does for you and the family?[/quote]
