[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sympathize with the high drive folks, but you should never issue an ultimatum like that.

The difficult thing about this is that the more you nag about wanting more sex, the more the other person is going to want to push back.

The trick is to get them to a point where they can appreciate your frustration and hurt, and want to have sex, but without them feeling coerced into it. As soon as people feel pressured and coerced, they are going to push back.

I think the best strategy would be to express your feelings in terms of "this is how I feel" instead of "this is what you need to do."[/quote]

Does initiating count as nagging?

[quote=Anonymous]Probably not that dissimilar from the "how do I get my husband to do x, y, z, without being a nag" threads - which usually include some element of the idea that it's not enough merely that he do the things when asked but also that he actually think to do these things on his own. Except of course that sex is usually leaps and bounds more important to a marriage than the tasks that populate those threads. [/quote]

Getting your spouse to work on a honey do list is not the same. Either they're willing to make the effort at the needed intimacy or they're not. [/quote]
