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

Wow I thought I was the only one !

Quote From: dustyrose9

My husband and i have a typical relationship when it comes to sexual frustration only in reverse! I WANT IT ALL THE TIME and he is fine to go 2 or 3 weeks without it! I don't know what to do. I'm NOT going to have an affair to satisfy my needs however i just cannot seem to get through to him that this is an important need of mine! I'm shocked. I know it is a stereo-type but i thought men were up for sex whenever. Mine acts like he's hardly interested in it. I've tried everything from lingerie to mixing it up as far as his Conservative style would let me, and talking dirty.  Not only does it not work, he sometimes laughs at me!! I'm tired of  being dissatisfied with our sex life. he insists that it isn't me, but I'm not so sure. When i ask for him he gives me "rain checks" until he's in the mood for it. WHAT CAN I DO TO CHANGE THIS?
 That's to funnie I never thoght I would got someone in the same situation as me , I'm alwaya bugging my hubby for sex and he gets mad at me and tell me that's all I think about  why is it okay for them to want it all the time and when they want but look out when we want it , My man sounds like a lady when I talk about sex and bring up sex,  He said that's all I think about ,
Anyways the best thing I ever did was never broght it up again and I told my man I was over the sex thing and I just left it alone for awhile and when he came home from work I looked my best , and never said one word about sex let me tell you how hard it was for me to not say anything it was always at the tip of my tough to say some thing but I did it and one day he came on to me and I tild him I was sleepy and that was hard to do but I did it all I wanted to do is jump his bones but no I stayed strrong,  after awhile he realised I wasn't bugging him and he was coming on to me all the time .
So the bottom line is act like you don't want him and he will want you BAD!  trust me .

PS   DO NOT GIVE IN k

Quote From: charliem

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.
You have ansewred you own Question the  Love no man no waman but the person they are ! Good to see your doning okay

Making two people sex drive work out.

I am a 24 year old female student and I have a high sex drive if I could I would have sex twice a day, but once a day would be really nice. My fiance would rather have sex 3-4 times a week, may be yes. We have a lot of arguments on this , but I want to have a comprimise about it. It makes me feel not wanted , I try hard to get him going , but I end up hurting my self instead. Is there something I can do to improve this situation.

Is it me???

When I met my finance, it was love at first sight.....and sex all the time.  It was crazy, at least twice a day, sometimes 5 times EVERYDAY!!  Now, I know that things are always a little more exciting at first, but things seem to be going downhill fast.  He never wants to have sex anymore and I want it all the time.  It feels like I am always begging for it then get denied.  I am starting to feel like it's me.  If a strange woman would do the same thing to him, I'm sure he'd be "up" for the offer, why can't I do this for him anymore.  I'm tired of being denied.  When he feels like having sex, it's like "hey baby, let's go do it" and then wham bam thank you mam, it's over and I'm left laying there feeling used.  How can I get him to compromise?  I always let him have his way.  When I want to have sex and he doesn't, we don't, but whenever he wants to have sex, we do.  I'm only 26 and my sex life sucks already.   

Is this what married life is going to be like?

help!

My husband (31) and I (28) have known eachother for over 15 years and dated for 4 years before getting engaged in august 2004and married in may 2005.  A few months after getting engaged I found out I was pregnant and I had a little boy in october. He is 4 months old now.  To make a long story short, my husband and I used to have avery active sex life. then after a move out of the country he stopped wanting to have sex with me all together.  When I asked him about it he either ignored the issue, got defensive, or made remarks like "sex isn't everything".  So in essence we have made love 3 times in 2 years.  during the pregnancy he said that he couldn't do anything since I was pregnant.  Then I found out he was having an affair that had started right after we got married and I was 6 months pregnant.  He claims that it was only text messaing and a few kisses but no sex.  I know that he is lying but have no way to prove it.  Anyway, after much therapy and many arguements we have moved back in together and are trying to work things out.  Well, it has been 4 months since I found out about the affair and once again no sex.  So it has now been a total of 10 months that we have not had sex.  I can't understand it, he is so young and so how could he not think that it was a big deal.  The lack of physical and emotional intimicacy makes me feel insecure about our relationship and makes me think that he is still cheating.  I just do not know if I am crazy or maybe I am not giving it enough time.  Please help

Relationship

Hi!  I am Nikki I' ve been in a relationship with this guy for over five years.  He is 41yrs old and does not seem to want to settle down.  I want to be in a serious relationship that eventually leads to marriage.  He stated that he would marry when he turned 40 but nothing happend at the time when he told me this he turned 40.  I' am no longer seeing him but would love to share the rest of my life with him I do truly love him very much.  We have amazing sex and conversation he is one of my best friend and no matter what we go through we also seem to find our way back to one another.  I let him go knowing that if it is meant to be it will be and if not I will be hurt but will move on.  What should I do?

Yes your married life will be like this if this is what you settle for!!  

When you say he doesn't want sex as often as you, what do you mean- how often do you actually have sex?  

Also, have you tried to deny him when he does want sex? Just give it a try and follow through with your "no"... just roll over and go to sleep!! Payback!! Why do you allow him to just use you as a form of relief, yet when you are in the mood to be intimate, he shuts you out? Not fair!  

You won't get him to compromise because he's a man who is full of excuses. Please know this has nothing to do with you!! It is about him and his own deep seated issues.  

As for a solution, have you discussed trying natural supplements that could boost his sex drive? Atleast talk about it, what would be the harm? When you are young and healthy, he shouldn't need viagra at this point, but supplements are for all ages. i wish you well!

need advice

I am a 30yr old divorced mother of a 5yr old. I am also raising my two brothers - 10 and 15. I have had the same boyfriend for a little over 2 yrs now. In our first yr together, he moved in w/ me and we had sex quite often per week not day. Lately, I don't think we even have sex once a week. By the way he is 26. His excuse is he is always tired. He says it's not that he doesn't want to or doesn't think about it. I understand that he is tired sometimes. What I don't understand is on days that he is off he is still tired. He can stay up and watch a movie when he really wants to but, is always too tired to have sex even though he really wants to. I definately know there isn't someone else. It's just getting to be really frustrating. I try and talk to him but he gets mad if I push the issue. He says it's no big deal. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

A 26 year old man not wanting sex is not normal. period. As far as him being tired, he needs to get checked out so his dr. can rule out any physical problems that may be causing the fatigue. I know of guys that did this and one answer was that they were visiting internet porn sites and masterbating a lot, so no need for sex. Number 2, he may be nervous with all the kids around. However, my experience has been no matter how tired, men ALWAYS want sex. There is something up here.
