I used to regularly when I was younger and still living in the city near my gym, but living in the suburbs the last 6 years there ain`t any boxing gyms close by so I pretty much stopped altogether and started working out instead.
It's easy when you live in a small town where the gym is about a 20 minute drive all the way across town. I tried it with a heavy bag and that lasted about 2 days. I agree, nothing compares to hard contact.
My running joke when we were told to "ease up to light contact" was, "Light contact meaning you see that flash of light when you get hit, right?"
But what would really help is is certain things in my life changed, especially concerning work which is the biggest source of stress by far. Uncertainty and other things make it hard to be in a good mood and not in a constant state of worry and wondering wether your still gonna have your job in a month from now, and if you lose it how are you going to take of your family, provide for them while also trying to enjoy life and just plain survive.
Ugh. I was laid off back in February and scrambled like hell to set up my own business. Luckily, or maybe unluckily, I didn't have to stress too long. I got a job offer a week later. I have no sagely advice. The more you tense up, the less power you have.
I`ll stop now before I really go off on a rant but the point is, with so many negative thoughts clouding ones mind it makes it difficult to relax and think of getting off and having sex, especially when you have people who depend on you for everything and all the pressure is on you to provide.
I wanted to start a new thread on stress reduction strategies lpsg'ers use in these stressful times, but I think one was started recently and fizzled quick.
Rawdog,
Hell he already takes a Cialis 2.5 mg pill every darn day at the age of 39 soon to be 40 this August. How at this age can he not want sex....
Any health or emotional issues bring this on? Has he had his testosterone level checked?
I mean why the heck can guys get it up daily while dating and as soon as you say "I do" then they "do not"?
I've noticed that with women too. Some people just live for the chase and then get complacent., lazy, and unappreciative, I guess.
I am the one who chases and invents projects/crafts all day long for our 5 and 6 yr olds plus I do every single bit of house work. On top of that I run my own business and I take care of both saint bernard dogs (should be counted as children as they are more work).
So, you pretty much have 5 full time responsibilities, and still have the same libido you had when you were dating and he doesn't.
Seems you have your shit together and he's coping.
I want it two times if not more daily and I am 43!
I find myself, at 46, hornier than I was at 19. I'm not sure people like us (that includes whoever's reading this) are on the "normal" scale.
Rawdog I say please clone yourself or start a husband training school!!! I will gladly pay for either!:wink:
Cloning humans probably won't happen in our lifetime, and I'm the last person you want giving relationship advice. Two ex-wives and all.
Only thing I can say is you need to be the change you seek. Look out for your own happiness and it'll find you. Gawd, that sounded new-agey, but I'm a true believer of whatever energy you put forth to the universe comes right back tenfold.
