[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your friends just wont admit it.  My DH is the ne who killed our bedroom.  Even if he didnt I woudl still be bored.  Every single divorced woman I know wasn't have much sex at with spouse and after separation, their drive sky rocketed.  Women do get bored faster than men.  Men like convenience. [/quote]

Plus one.  It's rarely personal.  Men take their wife's loss of drive so personally. It's just boredom. Happens to most women although some are better at faking it.  Lesbians don't have to pretend which is why they are happily sexless after a decade or more[/quote]
