[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think maybe some of the surprise comes from the way it's portrayed versus the reality of how it comes to pass.

Most of the reason for the decline in sex is that people get bored, and women get bored more quickly than men for mostly biological reasons. Nobody's fault.

The way it gets portrayed blames it on women being asexual generally, causing women to say "hey! We like sex!" and on men becoming out of shape, thoughtless dopes. Guys say "hey! I'm still in pretty good shape and I pull my weight at home."

Since the individuals don't fall into the stereotypical tropes usually thought of as causing the sexlessness, they think that won't happen to their marriages. But, biology is biology, so it happens anyway, and they're surprised. [/quote]

YES. I'm sexually bored with my husband even though the sex can be good. I just am not interested. Want a new partner.[/quote]

This is the truth. My husband is good in bed and knows how to get me off, but I crave new and exciting. It monogamy that's the problem[/quote]

I am surprised by these three posters.  I have a hard time believing they are really women.  I have never heard a girlfriend say anything like this.  Ever.  Some of my friends say that they love their husbands but aren't really that interested in sex anymore, but I have never heard them say they don't want to have sex with their husband but crave sex with other men.

Yeah. None of my friends have expressed that interest verbally either.  Frankly, it sounds very slutty.  I am not friends with whores though. Nobody condones affairs or cheating.[/quote]

I have never cheated but I also don't have any friends who would slut-shame or call other women whores.

Several of my female friends have admitted to being VERY tempted by another man. None have indicated they want zero sex. [/quote]
