"He wants it twice a day!" "She would be happy to go a whole month without touching me." Does this sound familiar?

Uncomfortable

I am 22 weeks pregnant. According to every pregnancy book I've read, my sex drive should increase during the second trimester...well, I'm almost done with the second trimester and it's done anyting BUT increase! I can't seem to orgasm during sex. My husband thinks it's his fault even though I tell him it's the pregnancy. I just feel generally uncomfortable, tired, and just not into making love. Truthfully, I think that another reason is that my husband has gained some weight lately and his belly and my belly get in the way. It's not that I don't want sex at all, it's just that I don't want it every day or even every other day. Once a week would be enough for me!  

Is this normal?  Have any of you had the same experience? Any advice?

So true...

Quote From: zakksmomm

I won't have anyhting to do with a man who desires anal sex. I heard people who do that are at a higher risk for AIDS and Hemmoroids. Also I hear too much nowaydays of boys being sexually abused as much as girls. I have two sons and I would kill any SOB who tried that on my boys. 

  

I don't see thw whole fad of anal sex. We oughta ask the guys to try having it done and see how they like something big being rammed repaetedly up their butts. 

A lot of guys want to have anal sex, and some do say,  "If you love me, you will..."  They are trying to manipulate you into a situation that you may not want any part of.  They don't put themselves in a our place - most of us that find such an act disgusting.  I don't even like it when I go in for a physical, and the doctor does a rectal exam.  I hate it!   

Anal sex can like you said, lead to hemorroids, tearing of the anal tissues, infections, diseases and/or a leaky sphyncter (butt-hole).  The muscle around the anus will stretch, and with time it will stretch too much.  If my husband asked me to let him violate my backside, I would file for divorce immediately, and would tell him to get his head examined!  Don't ever let anyone do something to you that you don't want to do even if that person gets angry, pouts, calls you chicken, tries the guilt trip thing because you refuse to let him, etc.  Ask if he'd enjoy it if you got the biggest strap-on you could find and rammed it up his ass without any lube!  I bet anything he would say, "Not NO, but hell noooo!"

No Sex Drive

My girlfriend has no sex drive and we beleive it might be caused from her first sexual experience was being raped on her 14 birthday.   She never told anyone when it happened.  She is now 22, we are engaged and very much in love.  We have sex but she has no desire and very prudish ( no foreplay).  I noticed early that she really didn't get into sex, but we had sex often.  Know I feel like I push her to have sex.  That is an awfool fealing.  Please help with any advise and how to find a good theripist?

I thought it was just me

Quote From: geoherri01

My boyfriend and I have been together almost four years, I would be happy having sex every night- my boyfriend is the total opposite! He can go a week or longer without the desire for sex...I used to feel like it was me that I wasn't attractive enough or that he didn't want me but now I think it's all about him. Anybody with this problem?  

  

  

I have the same problem with my husband.  We dated with a sort of long-distance relationship and we had sex every night we were together, then after the wedding I realized that his once or twice a week thing wasn't a phase.  Finally I just let him know that I will go to bed earlier than him and I will amuse myself without him.  Very often, he gets involved.  Very few men like the idea that they are replacable and like even less knowing that their manliness is being replicated without them in the very next room.

What an ego!

Quote From: jim1970

If you don't want us to cheat or buy "Just 18", then act like wives.  Remember what the Bible says; that the person who caused the sin faces a greater punishment than the person who committed the sin.  Hence, if you refuse to let your husband touch you and he cheats on you with his secretary, you've no one to blame BUT YOURSELF because men NEED sex. 

  

I mean, you wouldn't let us do our business on the rug, right?  It's the same thing.  It's a natural function that WE GUYS HAVE TO HAVE AND CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT. 

  

I have a friend of mine who is 79.  Back in the day when he was married, his wife wouldn't let him touch her because she thought sex was disgusting and only for procreation.  He was lucky to get a twice a year.  This forced him to go to every nudie bar in the San Fernando Valley. 

  

He says that she STILL doesn't get it. 

  

Yes, it's wrong for men to cheat and it's wrong for us to use porn-especially if we are married.  HOWEVER, we would do neither one if WOMEN PUT OUT. 

That is the most self-absorbed load of entitlement I have ever heard.  Well guess what, women have needs too.  We need to be loved beyond what we can do for you.  If a husband doesn't tell his wife at least weekly how treasured and loved and beautiful she is, some other man will and he may get the sex.  But guess what?  For the most part, we don't cheat.  Because we see that sex is not food or oxygen; it isn't a need.  The sex drive may be second only to hunger and breathing, but it is not a need.  Any primate capable of walking upright is also capable of staying upright when aroused and in the company of the preferred gender.  If that weren't true, rape wouldn't be a crime.

Differing Sex Drives

Quote From: autumn70

 do what feels right in your heart , don't listen to what everyone tells you because their not living your life you are and if you live your life for everyone Else you will never be happy .
I had a friend that didn't know what sex she liked and she just went with her feeling and ended up with another woman it's all what the heart tells you not what people tell you no one knows what you feel but you.
I read a great quote once from a woman who refused to be labeled gay, bi, or straight.  She said "The people I have truly loved, and there have been few, I loved not for their bodies but for who they were as people.  Some have been men, others women, but they all had in common the ability to captivate me."  I may have the exact wording wrong, but I liked the jist of it.  Judging people by what's in their pants is no way to choose a life partner, and if the limitations aren't pre-set on you, then it would be a shame to impose them upon yourself.

Get out while you can....

Yes.  Fourteen yrs of it.  Fourteen years of the purest hell on earth torment I've ever known.  Get out while you can.  While you still have your self esteem and self worth.  There are men out there with normal sexual desire, i.e. daily.  You just have to look for them.  I believe it's worth it.

Differing Sex Drives

Quote From: rayvinfive

My husband and I have been married for about a year and a half and we hardly ever have sex anymore.  Part of the reason is that we also have a two year old.  But for the most part the thought of him just doesn't turn me on.  He's a great guy, but also very lazy and sometimes inconsiderate.  Our schedules are also very different.  He works overnight, and I'm in college.  He is usually going to bed as I'm getting up.

 

Between our son and school, I'm just not interested in having sex with him at all.  Recently we were having some major non communication.  Later, after we talked it out, he admitted to me that he had visited porn sites in the past but was real vague about when the last time he visited was.  This is my second marriage, and I feel more and more like I'm trying to raise two kids instead of just he two year old.  We talk about what frustrates me between my husband and I, but nothing really changes.  What, and how, can this issue be worked out?  Any ideas/hints?  We both want our son to have siblings.

I have been married for 3 years and have the same problem.  I work night shift, he works days.  I also am juggling school and a 2 year old as well.  My husband and I never have much time for each other and to be honest he does not turn me on at all.  I also feel like I am raising 2 kids instead of 1.  I feel like my life is a mess swirling out of control.  Since I work nights I need to sleep during the day and my husband does not understand that at all.  He complains that all I do is sleep all day and sometimes can be rather harsh with his words.  Sometimes I think living alone would be easier than living with all of this stress and unhappiness.  But he is great with our son and I know my son really needs his father.

I DID all those things

Quote From: charliem

Guess what?  I DID all those things.  Women are simply SPOILED and, for the most part, you DO cheat.  Number two, how can sex be just behind food and shelter, yet still not a need?  If THAT were true, the porn industry wouldn't be raking in BILLIONS.  Third, rape is about POWER and not SEX. 

  

Don't try to argue with a man.  You'll lose because you are EMOTIONAL and will fall for any guy that tickles your fancy.  Men are LOGICAL.

Watch today's Dr. Phil and try to tell me that again with a straight face.  WOMEN CHEAT AS MUCH AS MEN-IF NOT MORE.
