[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]

this! the reason it befuddles me, is that it our dead bedroom is opposite of what I was expecting.  We have a young child, but apparently I have a much higher drive than my DH, so i am confused because I am the one initiating and getting rejected - but my identity in life (as a female) has always been if i want it, i can get it, because that is what society has taught me.  I am still young and attractive, seeing me naked used to be enough to spark interest in him.  Now i have to work for it, and I am not used this.  The rejection really hurts my ego.[/quote]

This situation appears to be an outlier. But I don’t think you’re alone. [/quote]Not at all. When I was having affairs for well over a decade, I had no trouble finding women in this situation.  It was a real eye opener and I came to believe there are just as many women as men in this situation. They just don't talk about it as much. [/quote]
