[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Entitled to sex" is such a loaded phrase that I simply can't agree to that inflammatory choice of wording.
I will state that I very much [b]expect[/b] a regular sex life within my marriage.
And although there are alot of great things in our marriage besides sex, I will readily admit that I would not stay married if my wife decided to reject our sexlife, and refused to work on the issue.
I view regular sex as a legitimate and important relationship need, one that would be a total dealbreaker even if the marriage was otherwise good (although I really don't see how that is possible, yet I read this in alot of "sexless marriage" threads!)

Why does anybody feel entitled to a (faithful) marriage with little sex?

So if/when you get ED, your wife is welcome to have other sex partners?[/quote]

I am not that previous poster, but yes, I like to believe that, if for some sustained period in my life, my wife wants substantially more sex than I can provide, that I will be mature enough and caring enough about her needs to encourage her to find it elsewhere if she desires.[/quote]

Agreed, these are very different situations.  If there is a medical reason that a spouse is unable to be sexual that is a totally different conversation than that of a spouse who chooses not to of their own accord.

That is what low libido is? ... a choice women make? that is what menopause is? a choice to have a dry vagina? that is what not having sex for 6 weeks after birth is? a choice to not put something into an area that (for me) had 52 stitches.... do you think you are being a little dense when you say ED is a medical reason but anxiety, depression, low libido, menopause, postpartum etc are not?[/quote]

The misogyny on this thread is unsurprising, but still gross and sad.  I'm glad many of these men are from an older generation and I dont have to deal with them.  But for the ladies that have to... I'm sorry.[/quote]

I'm a 30 year old woman (who is married) and who is NOT a shrinking violet who thinks that this thread is incredibly dismissive of men actually. I find THAT gross and sad. [/quote]
