The very term "wedlock" makes me think of chains, and I'm just not into that sort of thing.

That has more to do with exhaustion and time than desire, as many working couples with children will tell you.

This is true, but theyre people who aren't married who are working couples with children too and I don't hear about lack of sex at the same rate as the married couples. If i had to make a personal estimate it would be something like 15 to 1 married couples complaining to Regular ole BF/GF relationships

This is true. A friend of mine who has two kids recently told me that by the time they get to bed there is no energy left for sex. Sad.

As a guy, I tend to feel trapped. Like, 'how do I get out of it?'...

To address the original issue from another vantage point, it is not uncommon to have slight dysphoria after intimate contact b/c there is the aspect of union that cannot be duplicated in anything that we would otherwise do. If contact is out of this world, there is a uniting in the moment that can carry you for hours and days, and stands in relief for an extended period of time. Plateau is the right word for that opportunity.

He told you this personally?

I do. I hear it at about the same rate.

Sometimes I wonder if men who live with women are just slow to admit to their buddies that they don't have as much sex as they used to, because they're supposed to be getting all the "benefits" of marriage without making the legal commitment.

As for regular ol' BF/GF relationships, if you only see someone two or three times a week, and you have sex twice, you have a high rate of sex to companionship: You're 2 for 3 or 3 for 3. If you live with someone day in and day out, 7 days a week and you have sex twice a week, it doesn't seem like much because you're 2 for 7.

The things your parents probably nagged you about growing up... sometimes sex causes unexpected feelings... hence the reason why sometimes you shouldn't have sex... not just because people are trying to keep you "virginal", a lot of times older people know that sometimes some people can't just separate feelings from sex.. some people can't separate the two...... it's the same reason why some people can't do the FWB thing...

I personally think it's normal to feel something for a woman that I'm doing something to that is so ultimately personal... we all try and just blow it off as just sex..like it doesn't matter....

I, as a man, am entering another persons body.... why do we dismiss that so readily... I'm not trying to be all pious or whatever... I'm just trying to give the act some respect.. something that has been lost in this "hook up" culture that we seem to be in....

People have feelings... men and women both.......... we're not just walking sex organs..........
