OP could it be something you are doing that is turning her off. It's not always the other person you know.

What is so difficult? If the other equipment is not working, it can be like a 15 minute massage. That is why marriages with no sex life do have something seriously wrong. Its a communication break down.

Sex that is not ideal is something entirely different, but even with one arm poking out of a full body cast I am capable of making someone happy if called upon to do so.

It's too easy to blame just the woman for her loss of desire.
There are many avenues to look for ways to get her to WANT it again, not just tolerate it.
(And why would a man want to be with someone who isn't having a good time? Sounds selfish and disgusting to me.)

Some suggestions:

Dr. visit to rule out medical problems.
HELP WITH THE HOUSEWORK.
Be thoughtful and flirty throughout the day...not just when you want sex.
Listen to her. She just might tell you what the problem is.
And most importantly- let her know that you want her to enjoy sex for HER sake...not yours.

My husband has always focused on my pleasure first...and my happiness outside the bedroom. That makes a woman look forward to thinking of new ways to show her appreciation...and it makes for very intense intimicy.

tiger's poor excuse for his behavior had nothing to do with his wife what so ever. the man had no concern for anything or anyone other than himself. he felt he had the right to do what he wanted no matter what. if his wife wasn't putting out as you suggest, which I highly doubt, he should have manned up and divorced her. the thought that anyone thinks this is the reason for tiger's irresponsibility belongs in the dark ages. so glad there are men in the world who know better than the thinking you expressed in this post.
Oh really...well all I can say is that you'd be shocked on how many men think the way I do...but are too scared to say it...

I think you nailed it. Most of the time women's lack of desire for sex is not caused by low libido per se, but by not feeling loved and emotionally and otherwise supported.

Women like to have a positive connection with their partners. Maybe the man doesn't give her compliments or he is negative all day then expects 'sex' on demand?

A man who wants to please his wife and have sex needs to start at 8 am..good morning, dear..how are you? How was your day? Put down the remote and act interested in HER as a person.

Hmm, we are actually the opposite! My husband has less interest than I do and he is 11 years younger than me I am the one wondering why... I am a fit, attractive woman who takes care of myself, and when we married three years ago, we were intimate 4-5 days per week. Now we are down to 1-2 and I am puzzled. He works long hours, and I understand that he is tired, but I did not expect this form a mid-30's man...

Don't get married. Men that have the option of walking away or have their pick of the littler don't experience women going frigid. This is because the women can't afford to play that kind of sex on a string game knowing full well that the man has other options that he'll quickly trade her in for. Bottom line for the ladies, keep your man satisfied and he won't have a reason to stray.

I kinda agree too.

Men don't have the power, women do. All a woman has to do is make her self available and most of the time guys come flocking.

Men make themselves available and most women don't come flocking.

Some exceptions do exist, but not many.
