It's like folks are condoning women snagging husbands any way they can and then becoming disinterested in them. That stinks.
Sometimes a man will want sex every day. A woman is not a machine, nor do we have the testosterone that men do. There is nothing wrong with him taking matters in his own hands if the wife is unable to satisfy his needs a few times.

Ummm...You know, it can be the other way around too...there are situations when a woman is more temperamental then a man.

In this case the answer is NOT cheating, the answer is viagra, herbal supplements, sex therapy and marriage counseling.

Exactly -- I have usually been much more "hot-blooded" than my partners, for some reason. LOL, I guess I'm attracted to rather reserved or shy men and have found the old adage "still waters run deep" is not especially true.

Unfortunately, many men don't want to admit they have a libido or performance problem and try to blame the woman.

My last S.O. rarely had sex with me. Or if we did, he would suddenly stop in the middle. It was horrible. I would love to be with a man who wanted me every day. That would be great.

2) Women don't generally run around snagging husbands. Usually its the husband in hot pursuit of some babe. He seduces her and gets her to fall in love with him. Something along those lines.
I'm of the school that says the relationship between the man and woman is MOST important. Yes, more important than the kids' whims, too. Sometimes I think the parents hide behind the kids' supposed needs (I don't consider umpteen kiddy activities "needs") and their careers to avoid addressing important issues.

As for marriage, it seems to be most important to women. Many men avoid it, if possible. Back in the day, women gave it up to get pregnant and force the issue. Heh, that doesn't work so well nowadays.

Me, too!!! I just have to find a man like that who wouldn't insist on marriage but would value our relationship! It's difficult.

I have to say that it's an absolute horror if you and your partner have drastically different sex drives. Everything could be in the place: love, understanding, friendship, affection...I mean picture perfect relationship, but if the sex drive is different, it's terrible for relationship. It can ruin everything. If a couple doesn't address this as a serious problem and try to correct it/work on it, then they are making a huge mistake.

Sex is what bonds two people together. No sex, no bond.

And there is nothing worse than every night crawling in bed thinking, "Well, maybe this will be the night we'll do it?" only to be foiled again.

My ex would withhold in order to punish me. I had one other ex like that as well. Never again!

Holy smokes, are you sure your ex wasn't a woman? Seemed like he was using all the tricks in the book a woman might use. Here goes a stereotype out of the window, huh?

Lack of sex is one of the primary reasons a partner is driven to cheat. Sex is so important, people don't give this enough importance, really. It's physiological need that is not being met, when a partner is not getting the quantity AND the quality of sex he or she wants.
