Quote From: juballl

There are tons of reasons why he is reacting the way he is reacting. One could be he is a selfish jerk, that only cares for his own pleasures, and if he is going to have to "work" for it, he is too lazy to do anything about it. 

  

Now here are some other reasons that very well may have some of the causes, only he knows for sure. There could be a drop of testosterone levels, or some medication he is taking could cause a drop in sexual desire. He should have his doctor run some blood work, as well as discuss the medications he may be taking. Another medical problem could be erectile dysfunction (ED). ED would be an embarrassing problem for a male, and if a guy is having that problem, he could very well become defensive and lash out at you to prevent from facing this problem with you. Of course he could be lashing out as a defense mechanism to any situation to keep from having to talk about it with you. 

  

Stress and exhaustion are other reasons to cause sexual desires to drop. You may want to think about  any changes in his job or some activity which may bring more stress into his life. Another reason of course could be another woman. Ever hear of the song "Torn Between Two Lovers?" You have given no indication, but I am trying to touch base with all reasons I can think of it being. 

  

Lastly it could be he has never had to, nor knows or cares about how much more intimacy can be enjoyed when shared between two people, and working ones way up to the climax can be more exciting than the actual climax itself. 

  

Communications is the cornerstone of any relationship, and that is what you should be doing. At some point in time, when there is no threat of actually having sex at the moment, (in other words you would not want to have this conversation in bed for example) you need to sit him down and have a talk with him about it, and not in an accusatory tone or manner. Talking about it during, or right before, or after would only bruise the male ego in him. Find a nice quiet time when the two of you can't be interrupted, and there is no threat of this being brought up in order to have sex at the moment, and talk openly about the situation, and again be prepared to listen more than lecture. Communicating is a two way street. Ask him his opinion more the just tell him yours, and hopefully he may just feel safe enough to open up. 

  

I hope this helps. Good luck, and great sex! 

Thanks for your thoughtful insights and taking the time to write.  

  

I'm going with 1. stress and 2. selfish jerk 

  

and 3. this may be the way he'll always be, change is not always easy.  I think most men might agree that skipping step one and jumping right in is much easier than making an effort. And given the chance, they'd all rather "get right to it", because I think they are made that way. I may be wrong to judge all men in this catagory, or maybe not.

Not interesed anymore

I am a 33 year old newlywed.  I have been married for 7 months.  I dated my husband for 8 years before I married him.  Two of those years were long distance.  I loved sex when we were together. Now he is confused because I am not interested anymore.  He is interested all the time.  I don't know what is wrong with me.  I get very aggitated with him for all the little comments he makes about my unwillingness.  I have told him that it makes the situation worse, but he insists on making the comments.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Need to know how to resolve this, Fast

I work in a restarant and have some serious sexual tension going on between  my manager/bartender at work. We both feel it but have sustained from anything going on. I have been married for five years and don't plan on breaking that. I know the tension I am feeling is just the  undivided attention I am getting from him. What do I do? I love my husband more than anything. Is this normal?

you don't plan on breaking your vows .  

  

But why ask what to do ? You realize its sexual tension you realize its the undivided attention. 

  

You say you love your husband , Then give him a call out of the blue  say * I love you *  

Each and every time you happen to have sexual tension due to someone other then your spouse , Think of your spouse , how much you love him , call him , write a letter or note to give him later ..  

  

Most important is to have as  LITTLE  to DO or SAY to this manager/bartender  other then work related ..If your still having these problems , Find another job , take yourself away from the situation . 

  

You know the reasons and you already know the answers .

Sad but funny and semi true

Quote From: jim1970

Here's something I'd like to know from you girls: 

  

Why did you choose men who wouldn't give you the time of night in the bedroom to be your husbands?  Was it that they made more money than the nice guy in your sociology class?  They had a better car than your high school sweetheart? 

  

As someone who was teased by females, lied to and cheated on, I have to say that it's hard for me to have sympathy for a woman who complains about a lack of passion in her marriage because I was the nice guy that you gals claim you wanted, but was always passed up for the jerk.   

  

Hence, I have now become that jerk.  It's hard for me to supress that nice guy.  However, if I want to get laid, that's what I have to do.  This is because you don't appreciate nice guys.  You abuse them.  You marry guys who don't really want you and it's sad that you make the choices you do. 

I myself was one of the nice guys back in high school. I did not have much difficulty with geting dates but definantly it seemed that there was a huge attraction to the "dangerouse" guys. Never really figured it out myself but some women still go for that. I think women right up till about age 25 go for the dangerouse guys that might be a little more risky and have more of a sence of adventure about them. It will do no good to become bitter about it and become a jerk. Nice guys do win in the end bceause eventually the guys that are jerks and such end up ultimatly behind bars for one reason or another. The nicer guys that obey laws and don't do idiotic things just to impress end up at least being able to do whatever they likeif they apply themself. 

  

Maybe i haven't ended up with such a great wife but i am hopeing that if i keep it up and be nice to her she will come around and start to really appreciate what i do for her. If not and it ends up in divorce my conciouse is clear knowing that i did everything i could short of forcing her into something.

Thanks for the advice. I think I just needed a slap in the face to get the answers I already knew. No I never plan on breaking my vows, nor is this person or anyone else for that matter worth it. I think you just get caught up in the attention that you used to get in the begining. Truely the advice really helped, it was a reality check that I am getting too deep for no reason.

tell me what you think

I' m new to this message board thing but I want to put something out there and see what you guys think. I'm a soon to be 30 yr old woman and my husband is 36. We have been married 7 yrs and we have what I consider a pretty good sex life. We have a 5 yr old so I think a lot of it because we have that teen age motivation of get it when we can where we can with out getting caught/  interrupted. On average out of a 7 day week we probably have sex 5 of those days. If we go more than two you can see the stress and tension building. I'm just curious if this is normal or if I should feel lucky that I have such a motivated husband. Also most of the aggression and drive comes from my side. He's always happy about it but I'd say on average it's a 70 /30 toss up on my side. Is that normal or do I just have an unusually high libido. I've been like this since my late teen years. Lastly I'm always having my husband tell me that me feels so special because I don't have a problem with oral sex going either way. Or a problem with that being the entire sexual encounter. Is that odd do most women as a group not like oral sex either giving or getting. I don't see the big deal. Any one out there who can voice there norm it would be nice to see what most or at least what other married people consider their norm... Thanks
