Maybe that's what she's holding out for. How long have you been dating? Long enough to have this talk?

My comment was more directed to her waiting for marriage before sex type of thing.

I think marriage is fine I'm not anti marriage, I just don't feel like I need to have that label. I've been with Mrs. Chow a long time now and she feels the same way... so whatever works for each couple is pretty much my motto. I've never once on this forum every said anything bad about marriage.

I think that certain situations people should be married, such as having kids, I think it's better overall if you're planning on having children.

They've worked out in some respects, but my high sex drive put us in jeopardy recently when I found myself in the middle of an emotional affair. I'm not blaming my husband at all, but I want it at least daily if not more and for his own reasons sex isn't as big a priority for him and he can go weeks before feeling deprived. I disclosed my emotional affair and we had a long talk about my motivations and he has agreed to guarantee sex on odd numbered days if I want it, and for me to give him a break on even days unless we are both raring to go.

Plus I'm much more adventurous when it comes to bedroom experimentation so he's slowly coming around after 10 yrs of marriage to letting me try things with him he wouldn't have considered before. So Yay me!!!

Have him join a gym. If he wants. Exercise increases sex drive pretty good. Increases testosterone levels. I exercise a good bit and think that's part of my problem. That's cool yall are having some fun. I'm all for a lady that likes to play around a bit. That's why the ultra conservative thing doesn't really work for me.

I once had a friend, a hot Italian woman (accent and all, fresh from Rome), complain to me that American men don't approach her at all (I was dating her friend, a fellow Italian, and she felt a little envious that her friend was meeting guys so quickly). I explained to her that she was far too hot and many men would be intimidated or assume she was taken--I used myself as an example, as her friend invited me to her birthday party, which is how we got to know one another.

Many of us will see an extremely attractive woman and assume she's either taken or too stuck up to approach (or even look at). In many cases these are some lonely, lonely women, just hoping the right guy approaches...but that's another thread entirely.

Well she's a brand new divorce'. And I know she's the kind that would want to hold out for marriage. So it don't look good for me if I want any action anytime in the near future it appears lol

True, but it is also true these beautiful women are not going to settle for a man that is not also on par with their beauty from their perspective.

I've been around the dating block enough to know that. So why bother? If I happen to land a couple dates it's only a matter of time before she moves onto what she perceives as the bigger and better deal once the opportunity arises.

He does taekwondo and was working out regularly until a recent knee injury. I haven't noticed any difference in his sex drive when he is or isn't exercising regularly. I on the other hand get super revved up from exercise. Plus really active sex burns a lot of calories too, so really I'm just trying to keep us healthy!!!

It's about the best exercise I can think of. Generally when I get back from the gym I'm ready to rock and roll. The hormones are at peak levels.

LOL... I mean really..... what, are we in HS or something.

I can be nasty and shred with the best of them, but when I log off of this forum, I'm mentally done, I rarely think or talk about it. I'll be with mrs. Chow and we'll see something in a movie that is a subject here and we'll look over at each other and laugh, things like that, but not too often.

One time I got into with some guy here and I was so completely pissed my heart rate about doubled and if I had a baseball bat handy I would have destroyed my house.

After that little episode, I don't go round and round with people... I'll go a couple of posts, but I don't keep arguing with someone, especially if they are being obstinate on purpose...
Yes, a couple of posts is about right. You are not going to change the world being a keyboard warrior.
