True it’s better.


Clearly you haven't had good sex. I'm sorry for that.


Clearly you haven't either.


NP. I’ve had both. Both are good but different. There is no replacement for the intimacy of two bodies together. Not for the selfishness you can have with a toy.

There are others ways to be intimate with two bodies pressed together. For one, he could use a strapon. She could be on top. You can find ways.

Now, if he can't even sit up while she's on top so that OP can feel his body pressed to her's, then that's a different story. But, IMO, if OP really loves her DH (and vice versa) they can find a way.

If OP is saying she wants more than what I stated above, like wild sex such that her DH is incapable of doing, then IMO, that's selfish. If it's just about sex, like I said, she can get it in other ways with her DH.

I would say the same thing if OP was a man.

Actually no, leaving him alone with no one to care for would be betrayal. Sexual fidelity in this situation is SO irrelevant.

I'd shy away from a friend with benefits route and just look for straight up strangers.

I'd want to make it as least likely as possible that I'd develop feelings for this FWB, or my feelings would change towards the FWB, or the FWB would develop feeling and tell your husband.

I'd also avoid any app hooking up if you have single friends who may narc on you.

Just walk in solo to any bar in DC on an average night and you'll find a suitable lay.

+1 And if she was a man who shot and killed his disabled spouse newspapers would call it a mercy killing and giver him a watercolor treatment. But a woman who plans to be a caretaker for the rest of her days is a monster for wanting sex.

I would do it and I would give my husband a pass if one day I was unable or didn't want to have sex anymore. I think sex is one of the most basic parts of being in a relationship. If you agree and both are happy without it, cool, but otherwise, why should someone not be able to have sex again? Go for it but be careful with protection of course.

That isn’t the same. To expect someone (I’m assuming OP is youngish, 30s-40s) to be the lifetime care giver of their disabled spouse at an early age AND to never have sex again, isn’t fair. She has the option to divorce him and have all the sex she wants with anyone AND not have to physically take care of him. He would have no one to help him then. But she isn’t doing that. It sounds like she wants to be there and care for him in every sense. Having a side affair is the better option to the cut and run. If she is to have the caregiver role long term, her making sure her needs are met in a discreet way should be acceptable.


You are insane.

THE most basic human need? Um, it might be up there, but I'm pretty sure there are a few things a little higher up on that list.


Yes, it's a basic human need to want sex and human contact.


It is not a need. It is a want.

Human contact is different than intercourse which is in not way shape or form a need.

You need to talk to DH about this. The issue in your relationship goes beyond sex if you can't be open with him about this.

You should really watch Breaking the Waves by Lars von Trier:

Hint: she lets disabled DH watch.

Sorry if you answered this already, but how is he disabled? Can't get it up, or he has limited mobility?

Can he use a strapon, and use other toys? I mean.. why not? I would. My DH loves me, and I know he'd want to make me happy, and he likes the intimacy of sex, so I know he'd be willing to use a strapon, his hands, mouth and other toys.

Then no, don’t do this.


Don’t do it if you love him. Talk to him about this and come up with a solution but don’t go behind his back.


+1

Yes that part is the lowest of low.
