Hi ladies,

I hear so many complaints from husbands including myself that their wives have completely lost interest in sex...Now I've heard all the reasons why, from menopause to loss of testosterone...My question is... so what...its not like sex is torture...even if you have lost your sexual drive..its still a pleasurable experience...I don't understand...why you wives are so against giving your husband sex...and from what I've heard its one of the main reasons why husbands leave their marriage excluding money problems...

Look at Tiger Woods...women have asked me why would tiger cheat on his wife...she's so attractive...well if the truth be known...I bet he wasn't getting anything at home and guess what!!!!

Women (usually) must be emotionally connected to their partner, and that can be a weak area for men - thus the falling out.

Many men don't perform as well as the years progress.

Their wives wouldn't dare tell their husbands that they would have a sex drive with someone else.

Those men should be glad their wives are monogamous and simply love them.

It works the other way, too. Thus, the need for Viagra and the like.

OP, I'd introduce some "toys" that really do the trick, to get her interest again.

My hero, Dr. Laura, advises women who are not particularly interested in having sex, to "play along and pretend" that you are enjoying it and bit by bit, you will find that YOU WILL start enjoying it! My philosophy is that 10 or 15 minutes out of 24 hours is not too much to ask. It is our duty as a wife to make our husband happy and I know from experience that if you are good to your husband, that when you need it, he will be good to you.

The fact that you are using Tiger as a justified example of why men cheat is just baffling. 12 women and counting? Give me a break.

I dunno, I kind of have to WANT to have sex with the person I'm having sex with. Maybe it's just me.

I've lost the desire before and that was because HE wasn't taking care of business where it really mattered. There are many reasons women lose interest, some are wrong, some justified. Just as there are many reasons why men cheat and they dont always need a reason.

I'm glad me and my SO haven't fallen into this category yet, LOL. However, I tend to agree with others that sometimes it might be the emotional connection. Many couples tend to just co-exist with each other after many years. All the gushiness of the early years is gone and many women may not feel that early closeness like they used to. Women are a whole 'nother breed than men and physical intimacy can be contigent upon emotional intimacy.

Men - and women - cheat for reasons that are complex and not just "not getting it" at home. Many people would simply never cheat, no matter what; they divorce instead, which is more honorable. Tiger Woods is a poor example b/c he clearly has a long-standing pattern of sexual addiction before he met his wife.

you should re read the other two replies posted as they are excellent reasons why.

to address this selfish statement....Now I've heard all the reasons why, from menopause to loss of testosterone...My question is... so what...its not like sex is torture...even if you have lost your sexual drive..its still a pleasurable experience..

let me make it simple for you as you seem to have a simple mind set. say you used to like, even loved creamed peas, you have lots your taste for it, don't really know why nor does it matter, you just have. do you think you should have to eat them just because your other half still likes them? the same thing can be said about certain sexual acts, you find it pleasurable your partner doesn't, should they submit for your pleasure to something they find not to their tastes? committed sex is about the couple not the individual

Look at Tiger Woods...women have asked me why would tiger cheat on his wife...she's so attractive...well if the truth be known...I bet he wasn't getting anything at home and guess what!

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.

Ditto to everything.

If she has to fake an orgasm then she's not enjoying it as much as you may think.
