[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH here.  I hate that it took me this long to figure it out, but the candor on this thread has finally allowed me this epiphany:

Women don’t want men to learn the truth about them:  that they have the characteristic of, as F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote sarcastically, a first-rate mind, in that they believe two contradictory things at the same time yet maintain the ability to function.  These two things are that they absolutely will eventually not want anything to do with their husbands sexually but that they also expect their husbands to be completely faithful.  Guys, if this is your married future, what will you do about it?[/quote]

DH in a sexless marriage and I think you are being too cynical.  Monogamy absolutely sucks for a lot of women, and if you add into it the little resentments that accumulate in marriage, that's how we end up where we are.  It's not an anti-male position, [b]if you look up how often lesbians in LTRs have sex the answer is usually "never" and occasionally "rarely.[/b]"  It's biology, although of course some women and couples make efforts to avoid that trap.

What will I do about it?  For now, I will stay, and by for now, I mean today, tomorrow, likely next month.  After that, it's a cost benefit analysis, I enjoy the financial security of marriage, being around my kids (and the dog).  It may surprise you but I don't hate my wife, I can feel some resentment, but in general, I love her and care about her like anyone should of the mother of their children and friend.   Kids are 5 years from leaving the nest and then we will walk away unless of course I lose all interest in sex as well.[/quote]

Lesbian in a LTR (25 yrs) and this is true and it sucks. I miss sex so much I could and do cry. But my wife’s sex drive and ability to enjoy sex has gone, and I love her too much to leave. Nature is cruel.

I spend a lot of money on solo sex toys. Other than that I don’t know what to do. [/quote]
