I'm not sure I follow. I have no idea if there would be a riot or not, but are you saying something can be done about it? How so, if he is getting all the sex he wants and needs and is physically capable of? I don't think you can force someone to seek help, can you? Or am I missing your point? Why would that statement be more offensive if the genders were reversed?

(Note: I realize this may not apply in this case. If he masturbates daily, I'm seriously doubting sex drive is the issue.)

I said if he held off on the masturbation for a while maybe he would use his desire's with me, but he said he "need's" to do it in the morning. When we met he was 29 and had only one girlfriend in the past, for less than a year. He was very shy and quiet and he built up a self fulfilling habit for many years that he can not break. Thank You "Dr. Ruth" for the insight.

Men, be careful about your "wanking" habits, they might unknowingly destroy other things.
Join him in the shower...problem solved!

I always find these type of threads amusing.

To hear a woman complain about the lack of sex. LOL, it brings out the pervs usually.

I have become interested in viewing internet entertainment, to fill my need. I sit on the couch with my laptop in the evening, while watching tv, I can watch my fun stuff.
Eww, you look at porn still? What are you? 13?

OP-I hear you. I have a very high sex level. If I find a peeper I like, I want it all the time. Right now I'm in a drought and I just restocked on my mega battery stockpile from BJ's

The one thing he can do to upset me the most, but he better be ready for the outcome, because I'm not waiting forever.
Ok, you do all that and "want it"? Unless you look like you were hit by a Mack truck, and I'm very sure you don't, then he doesn't know what he has.

Don't go down a bad path, what ever you do. Be good to him for the kids and for yourself and look for a way to get help.

Another idea is to give him more control over other things. Lets say .......laundry, bills, dusting, just as a start. make sure he folds the shirts right, too!

350-890 for men 45-60 Testosterone Levels Test: Why It's Done, What Results Mean

I'd say your husband's level is below normal and this may be a big part of the problem. Men's testosterone level is highest around age 40, then gradually declines. So if it's below 300, that's significant.

Rather than a gp, I'd find a specialist for him to see.

I went from having sex once a month (and pestering him for it), to having it sometimes 4 times a night. It will completely change him.
I wasn't saying he had emotional problems, the OP has in other threads. Seems he is very, very paranoid so I can't see him interested in sex and I can see why he giggles at porn. His low testosterone level is another issue that is why his sex drive is down but also I believe his mental health needs to be checked too.

I had his level checked because I believed there was a problem. The doctor said his levels are in the normal level, I disagreed and said he should be on HRT, the dr. said no.

Does he masterbate ? If he does not, then yes his libido is likely shot.

Do you think he is on the down low ? ( sex with men behind your back )
