No Sex Drive!!! - Help!

My wife used to be very sexually active. But over time... well... not so much.

We're a young couple. Both 30. So it's not an age thing, She tells me that it's not me. She likes sex generally and isn't board with me (we keep it spicy Twisted Evil ). But in terms of frequency she's got the sexual appetite pre-adolesent fish!

We've discussed it several times, the first being several YEARS ago. She has always seen the difference in our libidos and agrees that it's a problem, and that it needs to be addressed. (She offered for example that her appetites might rise if she were to read tastefully erotic liturature.)

But the problem is that is she sees the fact and agrees that it's a problem ...when I bring it up. Otherwise, she admits, she doesn't think about it. I'm seriously going nuts!

How do I get this woman to understand that a marriage might actually require some effort in one or two departments, or at the very least that it might require that she give a flying @#*% about somthing I've been complaining about for years?!?!

I'm not going to pretend I'm a perfect man, but I do try to be sensitve about her concerns and address them. I just want the same courtesy?

PLEASE. I need advice.

Have an agreement about how many times per week is acceptable to both of you.

Find out what kinds of things make sex more tenable to her--and on the two or three days a week she is willing to endure the ritual--do those things to enhance her desire.

Dinner, romantic talk, cuddling with an old movie first, bondage...whatever.

Do you spend any time in the Gym? Perhaps you've let yourself go?

Do you make her feel sexy?

Does she have a boyfriend?

I think they make a drug for woman now, too.

Just a couple thoughts,

Welcome to A2K!

Thanks Sofia. I thought about the informal frequency-contract, but knowing us I think it would just make her uncomfortable. I suspect she would just get tense and dread the approaching 'appointment'.

The other night when we were talking about this I suggested in a jokeing way that perhaps the only way to address this is to simply pick her up and haul into the bedroom and not accept any objections. She said that would be a 'funny' solution. She didn't giggle but sort of chewed on her bottom lip.. I think the notion excited her a bit. She tends toward being rather passive/submissive.

I think I'll try that.

Wow. Came up with some advice fo myself. Maybe I just need to say some of this out loud.

That said, if you have additional advice.. keep it coming. t's long standing problem and is likely to require several ways of beign addressed.

Yup./ Those are uneven.

That leaves "make her feel sexy"... or drugs. Has she let herself go at all... perhaps she thinks she's no longer attractive to you? The subtle difference between wanting sex and wanting sex with her may need to be clarified, ever so subtly. Making a woman feel sexy is an art form. First and foremost, you have to love her with your eyes. Almost as important, this may sound silly, but you haven't forgot about kissing, have you? Unlike men, woman never stop responding to kissing. Try a passionate kiss before you leave for work in the morning, followed with a "God, you're sexy", and leave her with something to think about while you're gone. Don't skimp on the fully dressed foreplay either. Point your compliments as well. "I love what you are doing to that dress" with a naughty smile, not "I love that dress" as a perfunctory statement. Also, try your damnedest to notice any small changes she makes in her appearance (Huge points for that). Good Luck!

Your plea or should I say cry for help is echoed by many. Both men and women. If you can find the magic formula you could make a fortune.

That clown looks awfully familiar, Slappy. Isn't there something in the TOS about promoting your own website?

If you do this..please don't make a habit of it. I think your idea about just picking her up and hauling her into the bedroom, sound kinda hot! I would love for my husband to do that! If you really think she'll be comfortable with it, try it. Just tell her you can't take it anymore and you must have her!! HE,HE ,HE...okay maybe it doesn't have to be that corny. But you get the concept:)

My husband and i went through that. Same scenerio. I stopped taking hormones for birth control and BAAAAAMMM!!! hehehe It is cummin out my ears lemmie tell ya.
>ahem< Composure..
I am a nurse and i know for a FACT that certain birth controls wear down a womans hormone balance over a period of 2+ years..... Obviously your relationship isnt the problem... maybe that is ??

Good sex , even if it is only monthly is 1% of a relationship.... bad sex is 99%. Wich are you ?
