This just tells you that 95% of men (and certainly 95% of married men) aren’t getting the amount of sex they want from their wives/girlfriends. Men turn to porn because you’re denying them sex or making it a huge unfun hassle.

Men may not be getting the amount they want, but women aren’t getting the kind they want. And if they get the kind they want, then they want it every day.

Men are better and more adventurous when they are having sex often. Also if the woman doesn’t act like sex is her job.

Sad to say it, but men should have all sexual partners sign a NDA and Consent Forms these days. The legal system is beyond repair at this point and ruined.

To be fair, microplastics, soy, estrogen mimickers in the water supplies, etc. have made most males under 40 quite feminine and emotional, especially in cities where these toxins are more prevalent.

They start out that way these days and it is getting worse.

Both men and women should be able to change a tire. I taught both my sons and daughters to do so that they are not waiting around for a "white knight" to do it for them.

However, the idea that masculinity is defined by being able to perform manual labor is stupid. If I have a free weekend afternoon, I am not going to work on changing my oil. First, I do not enjoy doing so.

Next, I am better off doing something that makes me better at my job (I am a partner in BigLaw firm) than doing "tasks" around the house.

And, no, I do not think doing both works. If I am going to be the best at what I do, I need to put in the effort. Every minute I spend doing something I do not know how to do (like fixing a car) is a minute away from what I am best at.

I am also a big law partner.

I agree that “being masculine” does not always mean doing physical labor. My wife wouldn’t even trust me to do an oil change on the car nor would I even know where to start.

But I do help out with a lot of other things at our house — taking out the garbage, loading the dishwasher, doing the laundry, cooking, feeding the dogs, just general cleaning up. My wife really appreciates all of these things, especially when I do them just on my own. There is no doubt that it has also resulted in me getting laid a lot more. I don’t do it just for that reason but it’s a nice side benefit.

I think the “every minute” attitude is such a big law thing but so unhealthy. You need to take breaks. If I am working hard on a contract, I usually need a little mental break after an hour or two. I go through some clothes in the washer. It literally takes 5 minutes. Wife is happy. I am happy. I still work my butt off. But it’s not always a zero sum game.

That's just picking up after yourself and doing the basics, like any teenager should do. Nothing really to brag about.

The first thing he’s going to think is you have been seeing some other dude who has been doing this to you.

That should immediately make him more dominant!

Easy there, counselor. I often take breaks. For example, I frequently switch between reading articles on federal income taxation and international taxation, or vice versa.

I am unfamiliar with what the legal term "clothes in the washer" means (perhaps, "vestimenta in fullonibus"?).

However, we have a very handsome pool boy in our employ, and we pay him well. He seems to be very helpful around the house (per my wife). Maybe I will ask him about this "clothes" and "washer" idea.

DH is extremely sweet and would not even let me lift grocery bags or laundry basket. I once asked DH to pull my hair during sex, he lifted the hair up gently as if to brush and asked if I was hurting.

Many modern men have been beaten down by feminism and ruined in this area. Is why so many women lack a good power play dynamic in the bedroom now, because men are scared of being accused of DV or other stuff. It's quite pathetic really, but there are still some real men out there who are naturally dominant or can have that side of them brought out.

If not, whats a dominant man?

I'm not into choking l, spanking, handcuffs and all that..

Sorry dude but that's pretty vanilla. Nothing wrong with that but no, that's not considered a dominant man in the bedroom.

So, so true. Lack of sex was a factor (maybe number 4 or 5 on the list of factors) in my divorce. I just couldn't get into it. I even dreaded it. Met my now-partner, and even ten years in, cannot get enough. Poor guy is exhausted. Sure, hormonal changes played a role in both situations, but the bigger piece was having a partner who paid attention to me, learned what I liked, etc. Didn't realize what I was missing all those years.
