[quote=Anonymous]OP, I’m right there with you. People on here will tell you it’s porn, or an affair, or he’s gay, but there are other marriages out there with guys with lower drive. I actually posted about this about a week ago.

DH and I are early 40s. He’s happy with sex plain vanilla sex once a week. I am not. I’m reasonably fit and attractive (no big changes from when we were dating 15 years ago) but he’s always had lower drive, and it’s worse as we’ve aged and stress has piled up. It doesn’t help that he’s really really bad at talking about.

I have no answers for you, but you’re not alone. And it sucks to be told that every guy would have daily sex if he could because that’s obviously not the case. I’m a pretty confident, adventurous person but it does a number on you not to feel desired in that way when all the messages you hear are that obviously that just can’t be and it must be an affair or whatever.

I just raised the issue of counseling with him. We discussed his openness to it before we married as I saw it being a long term issue but I’ve yet to press it. Given how hard it is for him to even talk about sex I’m skeptical that’s be fruitful but I’m 41yo and feel like it’s now or never for good sex.[/quote]
