Women & Sex

sex

While talking with my counselor About pain issues, we got onto the subject of my non sex life.You see its been over 6 years since my wife felt the need and its been driving me nuts to say the least.(thats why I'm here)Its not that I have not tried, I take her out, bye her what she wants, treat her well, kiss, cuddle basicly anything I can do to make her feel loved.My doc tells me that womens sex drive is different to mens. While men are horny 24/7, women are the same when they are younger but then they change, and sex for them is something that they have to think about and get themselves in the mood for, if at all, and us men have to go to the ends of the earth just to have sex with our partner.Is this true for all women or am I doing something wrong or is it just my wife?

    Well not that's not true for all women and it seems to me to be unhealthy. An married adult in teh sexually active part of her life who hasn't had the urge to have sex for 6 years has some hormonal problems I think. I also think you have been completely stoic. I reckon I could last a month, tops.. and even then I'd have rubbed the skin off it.   Hugs Gaz

    definately sounds hormonal to me... whilst I may go through short (ie maybe a week or two) periods of no desire, 6 years is extreme.I would be suggesting she go get a hormone check done at the Doctors. Majick :o)

    Men and women are different when it comes to sex and intimacy, however 6 years without sex is a concern that needs to be addressed.  Yes...it could be a hormonal thing that your wife is going through...possibly menopause (yeah...the men – pause lol but not for 6 years!), and there are pessaries (need a doctors script) that can keep the vagina lubricated...and if she feels wet when aroused then the sex is a whole lot better.  But I have the feeling that it’s getting her aroused that is the problem.  Arousal takes place in the brain...so your doctor is right on that one.  Her “sexy” brain has been shut down and getting it to open again essentially comes from her.  However, initiating  intimacy and not just focusing on penetration can help.  Soooo, kisses and cuddles aside...what can you do to make her feel sexy again?  You’ll have to step outside the tried and true on this one...because it will no longer work.  Don’t give her the option to say “no” to your plans and suggestions.   You need to take the control back! Make her wonder about you again.  Then take it to the next step...tell her you just want to touch her...not have sex with her.  If she responds to this you are on the homeward stretch to SEX once again ...woohoo!  And if not...you need to put it to her that you’ve done your best...and that she needs to think about the future of your relationship. Just my thoughts on a complex issue.

    Thanks for your comments, been their done that, made the suggestion of her seeing her doc, but she said that HRT wont work for her. She tells me its her and not me,  when your wife comes to bed hours after you and sleeps on top of the bed and not under the blankets with you, a man has to wonder is it you ?I just throw myself into my airbrushing to keep my mind of it and visit RHP

    Hamster,   I know how you feel with the loss of the wife's sex drive.  Been there done that. We saw 5 counsellors, and in the end the wife felt that they all sided with me on the subject that that it was me that needed to reduce my "requirements" of her.  Ultimately we've not discovered a way to deal with it which is a shame really.  I hope you do better than we did. :-(   Wayne
