[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op I'm kind of confused. I think a lot of the men here who complain about this come off as whiny bitches.

That said if my husband just stopped having sex with me for no reason it would be a crazy serious problem in our marriage. I think without being married its hard for you to understand what physical intimacy means in a marriage. Its not rape or rape culture to expect your spouse to make a concerted effort to maintain normal physical intimacy. It's rape if you force your wife but come on. How old are you? How long is your longest relationship? When you've been with someone a long time sometimes you need to intentionally create passion not just wait for it to happen. I think life has a lot to teach you.

Most men on here don't like it when their wife is clearly "thinking of England" so that should tell you that it isn't sex really, it's the expression of intimacy and love [/quote]

+1 to the last point. I think OP is imagining the DHes on here think "her saying yes and lying there" is a successful outcome. They are not saying "I want her to let me stick it in her," they are saying "I want her to want to and enjoy having sex with me."

OP also seems to consider it obviously false to connect sex and intimacy. But a long term lack of sex in a relationship really can be painful and upsetting. I get that OP is young and probably when she's heard "it would hurt me that you don't want me physically" it's in the context of some horny jackass claiming he's going to get blue balls. But that doesn't mean all people can live happily without sex if only they were enlightened enough to process that their partner's sex drive has changed.[/quote]
