HTHGS:
Wanting more sex
Ask
Shan & Claude,
My wife refuses to have sex with me. Since last summer we have done it a handful
of times. That usually resulted in her crying before the act was complete. I
have had a string of job changes in the last 5 years due to luck, economy,
politics, etc.. Now I have found an ideal job for myself. Things are going well
there. She however is slow to come around. She says she needs time, 6 months-
less maybe more. I just can’t put my testosterone on hold. Every day I sleep
next to the women I love. We both sleep in our underwear. I am very frustrated.
I love my wife in every way. I make nice diners, buy her flowers, take her out
to diner, buy her nightgowns, etc.. Conversations eventually turn to sex because
I must fix this problem. We can't survive with no sex. I married my mate not my
partner to help with the kids. We have 2 boys ages 2 and 5. They are great. We
both work professional jobs and we have been married 6 years. I understand jobs,
kids, length of marriage, and stress can all slow things down but this is
absurd. I have always had the bigger libido and I look at sex as an expression
of love as well as a hobby or past time. I like quickies as well as long playful
experimental session and little of every thing in between when the times are
right. I just can't go any longer and I may have to move out. How can I sleep
next to the women I love every night barely clothed and not mate with here. I
love her and miss her. But enough is enough. Please help!!!
Dear
Please Help,
It is impossible for us to tell you why your wife is crying or reluctant. Only
you can find that out. Have you asked her? The crying could be
from actual physical pain, or emotional pain, tears of pleasure, or a variety of
reasons. Is it possible that she may have had some sort of trauma
recently? You seem to love your wife very much. Show her how much by
sitting down and having a heart-to-heart conversation. Find out if she is
okay and what she needs. Explain to her your needs and that you are
worried about her. You two may have to discuss some of your options:
masturbation, lubrication, watching videos, counseling, opening the
relationship, etc… As we frequently recommend you need to communicate
with her and find out what is going on for her so that intercourse and
outercourse can be pleasurable and wonderful for both of you.
