[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel terrible about it but I actually married a woman I wasn't very attracted to and ended up having kids with her. Intellectually, logically, the relationship made a ton of sense. She had lots of great attributes. Other people thought she was very attractive and in fact several times random friends were like, "dude how did you land her?" But I just was not physically attracted and the sex was not good. I don't think that's WHY we ended up divorcing, but it certainly would have made for an overall healthier relationship if the physical chemistry and desire to be intimate were there. I feel like an idiot looking back - why did I ever let the relationship continue and even progress to marriage. But it's just like this weird slippery slope thing where you get tangled into it. So stupid. Don't do what I did [/quote]

I'm a woman and cannot understand this. Don't you have to be attracted to someone to get aroused as a man? [/quote]

If you are sitting at a bar and a woman runs her hand up your thigh you can get aroused and your small brain takes over even if she is not attractive. Try it sometime and I guarantee it will work. [/quote]

I'm the OP of the terrible marriage story and all I can say is that at 40 years old I can get an erection just staring at the wall or even while I'm working on an intense research project. I always really dreaded when my wife would try to initiate sex, but although it may seem strange, getting an erection was not a problem at all. It's kind of like I can eat McDonalds if I'm on a long road trip with no other restaurants in 150 miles, but it's fairly off-putting. [/quote]
