Low Sex Drive
Imagine the situation.
You are a 32 yo married man and want to sort your sex life out. You
wife says that she would rather read a book than have sex. Massage,
romance, flowers, patience, more patience even more patience and still
no sex. And farther goes : "Help, I love sex, I am not a perv, I am not
a weirdo, I just want to enjoy an active sex life.I have always enjoyed
a good sex life(wild at times) but I cant understand why she has no
interest at all in sex.I have been through all the stress and the
outside factor thing and still she would rather read a book. No probs
with expanding intellect but i really am feeling the frustration. Thing
is , if I wander, I become the predatory sex idiot. I don't want that.
I just want to have good, enjoyable and FUN sex. Should i wander just
for sex and give up the rest of the marriage or WHAT? Now after three
years,together she wont even touch my bits . She says theat it is too
big. Most men should be proud but I think its a problem for her. I love
her to bits and just want to have a good sex life with her."
For what it is worth I think that in this position I
would have to wait until the mood was right and then sit down and tell
her exactly how you feel. She may think that you too would rather read
a book than have sex. She may not realise just how important it is to
you. Without putting her under pressure, she needs to understand your
true feelings, but make it clear that despite feeling so strongly about
this you do not want to cheat on her.
Is it possible that there is some medical reason that she doesn't enjoy
sex? Does it cause her pain? If so maybe she could consult her doctor.
I think you have to find the true reason why she doesn't want to have
sex before you can start to work on resolving the problem.
It could be down to a past [bad] experience with an
ex, or even with yourself... a passionate moment where she wasn't quite
ready/excited enough that was uncomfortable. You don't mention your
ages; it could be "the change," HRT replacement might be an option, or
if the problem is the lack of natural lubrication having made things
uncomfortable then a lubricant substitute such as KY; or something like
vaginaitus (I know that's spelt wrong, and may even be the wrong word)
where the female vagina goes into spasums during penetration. Often
this happens early on in a relationship and/or when a person is a
virgin. It can also be caused at other times due to emotional problems
etc. The spasums themselves are very painful even without penetration,
so usually prevent penetration in that the walls and opening to the
vagina clamp up to such a point that its impossible. The above is
usually brought on by an emotional factor, such as the fear of loosing
the virginity, or some other past/present event.
There are so many possible factors that it would be
impossible to has at a guess to the cause, especially if you did
previously have a good sex life. Work stress, money worries, etc. can
all play a part. Even something such as un-diagnosed diabetes can leave
someone feeling run down. Depression is another possible factor.
Before going outside the marriage vows definitely
see your doctor yourself to discuss this further and/or discuss this
with your partner. There are occasions where people do have different
sex drives, and I know one couple personally where he "plays away" with
her concent due to her depression (manic or as the americans say
bi-pola which even with drugs can be hard to manage) which although
they have a good life together and a loving relationship means she
hates sex because she is so un-responsive.
Counciling and mediation are also possibilities. If
all else fails and she is un-willing to allow you to play away, then
make the decision to play away, or to call things within your present
relationship to an end.
