Yep, they had sex more because they knew it would trap the target. It's not hard to figure out when some one prioritizes the house cleaning over the marriage.



I'm not surprised your sex life is lacking, you are clueless and self centered.

So it seems like many of us agree that this eventually becomes a problem for a lot of people.*

What is the solution? I am a late 30s mom of three kids, married for 15 years, and I only desire sex about once a month (probably when I'm ovulating - though I have an IUD and don't get periods anymore so I can't track that). I have sex with my husband 1-2x a week however because I know that once a month isn't going to cut it. But I would like to genuinely desire sex more often than that.

At the end of a busy day, usually I just want to chill on my own and read my book for 20 minutes before going to sleep. I don't have the energy to fulfill one more person's needs. That's often what psyching myself up for sex feels like - checking off something on my to do list. When we get into it, I do have an orgasm and I think "why would I want to live without this?" but then it goes right back to the same problem.

My husband is a good guy, he's attractive and fit, has a good job, helps with the kids 50/50 so that's not the problem. I don't know what is? Maybe the novelty? The other stress in my life? The SSR I take? I don't think it's the medication because I do genuinely desire sex more often on vacation but that is hard to replicate in my daily life.

What are the solutions that work for you guys?

so as a man, who had an ex DW that could go without sex the rest of her life, and found a new woman that LOVES sex every other day, once he puts it inside, doesn't it feel good? how is it that hard, if you know it will feel good?


PP, How long are you with the new wife/girlfriend? You may be in the honeymoon period if under 2 years. Statistically speaking once you divorce you are more likely to divorce again because you ( in general people) start thinking if life isn't perfect ( like the movies) than you will get out sooner.

^^ “Putting it inside” is the last step of turning someone on, at least a woman you’ve been with for a while. I know for me, I need plenty of foreplay/playfulness/other touching before I’m in the mood enough for actual PIV insertion. But yes, when we’ve done all that, it feels good. It’s a mind issue, and the body follows.

Nice try OP but this quote identifies you as a complete troll! Everybody knows that when a wife loses interest in sex it is 100% the fault of her husband. Now go back to your red pill forums and stop interjecting absurd claims to DCUM about a woman simply losing interest in sex with her long term partner. That NEVER happens.

A dh here. Mid 30s, 3 kids, together since college.

Would love this. I'd be very alright with this.

Here are the two guidelines that help us to have it sort of hot:

- accept that as time goes on, there will be ebb and flow in your desire for each other. Regardless of what DCUM tells you, it is perfectly normal for loving couples to take a break from sex for a few weeks or even months, and then come together again with a renewed passion for each other.

- accept that it is better to have less sex of good quality than more bad sex. The key to achieving this is somewhat counter-intuitive, but it is maintaining a level of excitement without bringing it to climax every time, and having generally less sex than we would like. Sexy thoughts, a bit of foreplay, flirtation, some fondling here and there but without expectation that it will lead to intercourse. This can go on for days. Then when we finally have it, it's mind blowing.
Also, if you have young kids, it's normal that you forget about sex for a few months. It just is.

I’ve tried but can’t find a single true word in this post. That is unless getting out of the marriage is your goal.




I disagree, and find it to be spot on.


"accept that it is better to have less sex of good quality than more bad sex."

This may be true for women. But for men, sex is more like a regular biological urge, like hunger. It's just a constant thing. It doesn't have these long dormant phases, with occasional bursts of passion like with women.

For women, part of attraction is literally the instinct to attract a man to you. Once you know that he's "yours," this diminishes. If he suddenly had a big career boost and you began to notice other women giving him attention, you'd probably feel your drive growing again.
