Sexless marriages are often the reasons for disturbed bedrooms in the later years of partnership..

Just the way they are wired. Men and women. I would never again partner with a non- sexual man. Intimacy and sex are vitsl to me. One would think men would try all manner of things to please their wives. Those that do not are abusive. Marriage does not mean suffering because one member- no pun intendd- cannot or will not perform. Speaking from experience. Lack of intimacy can cause medical conditions, stress, mental illnesses, etc. Divorce is an option. So is an open marriage or a FWB. Or being unhappy til one of you dies.

How about the opposite!! I'm ready for sex anytime....the wife...not so much!! So I feel for anyone in a sexless marriage!!!

Men are tired and woman are coming out if their child bearing years. That's why they don't match up early on either.

I can only speak for myself but I encourage my wife to be as social as she pleases. I don’t own her, or lease her or control her. Life is short, live.

My experience was just the opposite. For the last 12 years of my 32 year marriage, my wife was entirely non-sexual. She had no interest in sex or any kind of physical intimacy. I still needed and wanted both, which she resented. The marriage ended because of it.

Sexless marriages have little to do with gender. I’m divorced because of a clinically sexless marriage. My ex was basically frigid.

To me, withholding is a form of abuse. People need closeness and sexual comfort, including release.

If your husband can’t provide that happiness for you, get it elsewhere. For god sakes, you’re human. The “vows” of, “Love, honor and obey.” work both ways.

yea I was just saying in another post that sexless marriages are the top reason why marriage isnt worth it

people sell it like once you are married you are done but you really arent, so whats the point of it?

I was married before and I had to go through that to understand, even one of my friends wanted to stop me and I didnt listen

It's fair to say that the same situation often occurs for the female partner. I'd argue that's far more common and often occurs earlier in life. Either way, it's a real shame and miss matched sex drives coupled with a possessive view of sex lead to so much heart ache and deep frustration.

I think women should be actively encouraged to pursue personal interests from day 1.

But everything is a compromise.

Dad's have the role defined by their children.
But Moms will always be Moms so many women may feel permanently tied by the apron strings.

I think it's called andropause...I might be wrong

I'm sure people lose interest when they get to a certain age. My husband's mom and dad don't have sex anymore but they're 80. And he can't anymore now anyway and I doubt she wants to anymore. It just happens.

Not there yet but i can only imagine the frustration ...

Society makes unrealistic and irrational expectations of both parties. These matters should be discussed and worked out before the contract is signed . .

Going by all the men that end up in my inbox I would say it’s the opposite. The wives don’t want to have s e x anymore so they look for it elsewhere.

I'm just the opposite....late 50's she didn't like it or want it and was awful when I initiated it...so I stopped it and we now sleep in separate bedrooms and I miss it.

It happens both ways. I'm the one still as interested as ever but wife could care less.

And plenty of woman drop off after they go through the change because their hormones change.

Maybe something is missing, like emotional connection. Not everything is about intercourse.🙄

life is short, don't waste your time, look for out source.

I’m the opposite. My wife turned it off years ago. Not me.

What a sad painful subject this is, regardless of gender.

When you find the answer, please let me know!
