Assuming they don't cheat or divorce? We've had quite a bit of discussion about sexless marriages in the last few days, and I know this is a problem people complain about a lot, so now I'm wondering how people actually cope with this. Again this is assuming they don't cheat or divorce. (Because I see that a lot of people stay)

Well shoot, you only have a few options then...
Open up the marriage
Go without
Go to counseling and try to fix
I got my PE license and started the journey to another degree, though neither of my past marriages were sexless she just stopped doing certain things in bed so I disengaged from the relationship. No one likes the old bait and switch.
I would assume the same way those that are not coupled do...they practice "self satisfaction".
Or try to ignore your sex drive and tell yourself that you don't need it?

Staying for the kids was how I coped. After they grew up, I left.
Well, I know people have their reasons for staying, and I'll save that discussion for another thread. I was actually wondering how they cope. Like what do they do.
highlife, did you still think about it a lot, or did it work to focus on other things?
When I get in the zone I can study a subject for a very long time until I get hungry or horny. She would sometimes come down and yell at me and say things like you just want me to do xyz in bed and I said yea, that's the whole reason we are fighting, did you come down stairs just to state the obvious lol? She got tired of being ignored so she left and I found a new girl friend.
I was looking into prostitutes but they were way too expensive, even for women that were not all that great looking. Not that my wife was all that either.
The ideal world would be where a guy could get xyz for $20-30 a pop and then sit in a social setting and get hit on by women. I have heard this is what Germany is like which is why I have ironically been shifting my attention to Germany. I also know that it would be way easier to get a job there with my resume.
the lack of cheap escorts in the USA is a little unsettling.
