You have to take charge of the situation by asking her pointblank to give you a backrub.



Lots of men would settle for that! What is the frequency? Count yourself lucky!

Is she refusing positions such as doggy?

Yes. I've asked her for a backrub and she has done that. However, a backrub to her means a backrub and nothing else! LOL...

Frequency of sex is usually 2-3 times a week. She tries for every-other day. I know most guys would settle for lube and a quick fuck. But it's ok sometimes. For me as a guy who loves a womans body so much and wants to explore. It's not so great. I feel like lubing her up and screwing her is like treating her poorly or like a whore. I wasn't brought up that way.

No she doesn't refuse doggy style. We usually do that on a quicky night. Lube and fuck. She knows it gets me off quickly!!! She doesn't like the position very well. My dick curves upward towards my belly and sticking it straight out isn't the comfortable for me and she says it feels like i'm jabbing her in the colon too. :confused:

I dont have the attention span to read all of this but here's my take on it since I was married for 9 yrs with children as well. The sex life pretty much was dead. As horrible as divorce is, I was just with the wrong guy. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing made my sex drive any better. After we agreed to an open marriage (which lasted about 6 months and then I just flat out asked for a divorce) and I met my BF I realized it wasn't me at all, my sex drive was like a 13 year old boy with my bf. Kids add an enormous amount of stress, daily life is stressful, we stopped trying after awhile and nothing would bring it back.
All of the crap people tell you like have a date night, or bring her flowers, or do extra things for her...NONE of that stuff made a bit of difference. Am I jaded ..HELL YES! I don't ever want to be married again, I think it's absolute suicide for the sex life. I'm sure there are some married couples who still have a great sex life but I don't know of anyone and I doubt it's the norm, especially when kids are involved. I wish I had something more positive to say. It sucks really bad but for me I had no choice, I was miserable and as scary as divorce is, it's very amicable and we are both much happier. I'm not advising you to get a divorce but sometimes people just arent right for eachother or the daily grind just kills the spark. It did for me anyway.

PS Regarding lube...with my husband I need a ton of lube and with my boyfriend we have to stop and towel off because lets just say I dont need ANY lube now. That just confirms to me that sex should not be a chore!! Its supposed to be pleasurable and if you have to artificially grease yourself up, it's not.

Yes. This is true and I have talked to her about it. I don't think lube is a great idea. For one her body is going to get used to using lube and forget about lubing itself! I know she is sexually capable and that her sex organs aren't "broke". They work perfectly fine.

I just think she has too much stuff on her mind with the kids, work, etc. that when it comes to bedtime she is still thinking about that stuff and not about sex. There is a time when she is ovulating that she is horny for a couple days. She comes to bed and wants to fuck. And in most cases she is wet pretty fast!

OK, first off, I love sex. I absolutely love to make love. There, I said it. So, it's very difficult for me to understand why some women do not. I have very close friends who say they play like they're sleeping when their husband comes to bed. Or they make up a headache, just anything to keep from doing it more than once every two months. That I cannot understand. When I tell them that I enjoy it, they look at me like I'm an alien, or they say "Oh, you're still newlyweds." We've been married 10 years. My daughter, an only child, was 11 when we married. She's out of the nest so we have the house to ourselves. And we make good use of it. Yes, not as often as either of us would like, but when we do it's crazy stuff. I feel like a teenager again, and he certainly acts like one.

OK, he's very good and does things that I've never done before. He tells me the same thing. Sometimes he comes up with stuff that makes me wonder what he reads! LOL! Or does!!!

But I think a lot of it is more than just physical like a lot of people have said. I love him very much, and I seriously could not think of doing this with anyone else. My only gripe, and it's really the only gripe I have is that he's gone a lot. I mean a lot lately! No, I'm not worried about him dipping on the side, I just want him home in my bed.

We're not sex maniacs, and we don't do it so often that we both hurt, although we have at times. But we both enjoy sex and just being with each other. Sometimes it's not even sex. Just being close to one another and sharing little words, ideas, dreams. Just being intimate.

Give her some "her" time. Pay attention to her needs, not just yours. Don't be selfish. Don't buy "stuff." Give her the stuff that counts - attention, assistance, appreciation. Make her feel beautiful. When I come in from working in the yard dripping with sweat and dirt in my hair, garden gloves wet and muddy and he tells me I look beautiful I believe him. One, because he's crazy, but two, I don't know how he sees things, but I think he's telling the truth.

I know I'm rambling now, but it's up to you to make it work. Don't let it die like that. It's not what she wants. Same when she says she doesn't want anything for her birthday, or when we say if you love me you'd know what I want. We're not really that much of a puzzle. A little effort would go a long way.

Nice post EllieP. Your husband's a lucky chap, and he sounds like a nice guy too. I was a little sad to read one or two jaded posts above. I don't blame the posters. It can be awful if you can't get that thing going again with your marriage partner. But it can be done. I/we almost let it get away a couple of times. After our son was born we didn't get sex going easily. My wife felt her tits belonged to him not me. That was weird. I worked round that, but she was distracted and didn't feel sexy. Her her libido wasn't good. It recovered a bit and we started having better sex, but within another year her periods went on the blink and menopause had started. Experiments with HRT helped and sex improved. Then she got breast cancer, had a mastectomy, loads of treatments, a second mastectomy, etc. It has been very difficult for her to feel sexy after that, but I have dug deep and found ways to stimulate her interest.

I don't really know what advice to give when a couple have taken up positions like this. You can't really get anywhere if one partner has decided not to like it any more and is determined not to budge. But attitude is key. She does not owe you sex. You have to be creative, sensitive, loving. Good sex is a pleasure that you share. It is not currency.

With all the things you have done to help, I have no more ideas to get her in the mood for you! It sounds like you have both stated your sides, and that's that. She may not change, it sounds like she does not want to, and you have to respect that. I do not mean for a minute however that means you have to live with the rules she sets only. I don't know if a girlfriend on the side is a good idea or not. I would talk to her about it, not in a threatening mean way. But let her know how you feel, and find out of she is interested in a new sex life or if she is just over it. Maybe she would be relieved to not have to deal with your sexual needs? I have heard this from some married woman. I thought she was nuts! Granted, I have no kids, and never will. I know that changes a woman forever, she is mom now. I think this is why I'm not interested, I don't want to change my life AT ALL. If my husband stoped giving me the attention I need I would find it somewhere else I love him more than anything, but ignoring me is the crulest treatment I can think of! Was religion ever pressed on her? I just don't understand women that are not into sex, and being sexy. There may be something giving her a mental block??? Good luck!

I did tell my husband to go get it elsewhere, thats how much I didnt want to do it. He never did, but at that point I wouldnt have cared if he did as long as I didnt have to. I really don't even know why, he is a very attractive guy but maybe our chemistry was just never "right".

Gosh just notice this thread is way to close to my situation but my problem is my 8 year old daughter is in the middle of the bed since day one, before that my son was there for 4 years so our bed has been a wreck for 12 years. So much for privacy and the sex has been routine. For me the sex drive has been suppressed for fear of daughter in bed and as time progresses it is almost gone. Wife says I have been half steppin but heck a hard on with your 8 year old daughter in the bed not going to happen, that combination don't mix period!!!!

Yeah I work shift work she seems to think I am the problem cause every time I stress the child in the bed she says thats not it. Marriage of 25 years and this is ..................

I did that with my 3rd husband,i couldnt bear to be near him....in the end i found him a gf..........but there were other problems in the marriage as well which caused me to hate him thus not wanting sex with him.....for the last 2 years we lived together i didnt touch him never mind have sex etc with him..............

...........and guess who,5 yrs after moving over 200 miles away from him has followed me and asked me to go back to being with him? :rofl:

Your attitude really stinks!

You told your counselor, in front of her, that your sex life sucks.
You're telling us that she is dull in bed, which might mean you also told her that.

Is she happy with the way her body looks (weight, etc.)?
Maybe you could take her shopping for a pair of jeans that make her ass look like a million dollars? And high heels that she loves. :smile:

Also. For those that talked about the porn etc. That was her idea mostly to get her into the mood? I could care-less about watching it and for the most part don't even pay attention to it as I'm usually playing with her. I would rather shut the TV off, light the candles, and play some nice music and enjoy each other. I've tried that before and then she turns the TV on!
^^^^ Gotta admit this part is a little weird. What kind of porn is she "into"? Just regular M-F porn, or all girl?

Stevel, certainly you can afford a separate bed for the eight year old? It's time for her to move out. If she is afraid to sleep alone get her a pet. If she is afraid of someone else in the house molesting her, kick their butt. Find out what is keeping her in your bed. Or if you would rather, simply have sex with your wife elsewhere and never in the bed. Sleeping in a big pile has its charms until puberty hits.

I completely agree. This stands out as an obvious problem.

8 is WAY too old to be in the family bed. She needs a room of her own. You're doing her more harm than good by keeping her in bed with you. That's just my opinion but most psychologists would tell you at this point it's inappropriate and sounds like your wife is using the kids as an excuse not to have sex with you. I would not let this issue slide.

Unacceptable! Moving her out is for your daughters own good. My friend did this will all her kids...She has up to 4 kids in her room and bed sometimes. And do you want to know the crippling separation anxiety it has caused them? Eeek. How your wife expects you to get hot and bothered with a child in the bed is beyond me! I think some women hide behind the child, I'm not saying she is doing this, I don't know. But it's just very upsetting to see that daddy can't have a single place of sanctuary. The bed is the place where children do not belong, as they take over every single aspect of parents lives. The bed and sex life they can not have!

So what are some things you women would love for your man to do to you but won't tell them? But keep in mind she's not as open minded as most of you women here as her sex drive is pretty low. I mean my wife would probably be happy with having missionary sex every time. And wouldn't complain one bit if that was it. LOL

My experience of most women is that sex is best when it's close, tender and romantic. The missionary position is a good one for this: body to body, gazing into your lover's eyes while kissing. My wife likes the sensation of being filled, of having me inside her, and not being distracted during intercourse. A few other partners have been like this as well. I don't rub her clit or expect her to want to rub herself either.

But while close, tender and romantic sex is lovely, there are times when something different is satisfying. My wife's next favourite is a variation of the close and romantic theme, which is sex outdoors (easier for us now that our children have grown up). It was an idea from me, and she leapt at it. It is divine on a lovely sunny day to be naked in the open, shaded by some trees, a breeze caressing you while you make love.

Finally, being naturally passive during sex, I decided to turn this to our advantage. So I veered into some light dominance and submission out of the blue, and she liked that a lot as well. I certainly slapped her arse, and I may have blindfolded her and tied her wrists that first time as well. From there we do roleplay every now and then, but it took that first idea from me as to what she might like given her personality (as distinct from the personalities of the other women I have had sex with). These days the roleplays come with a written invitation as to which character she will be, and what the scenario is.

Think beyond sex to your wife's personality and style, and think what might suit her. Either talk about it together, or just try it and see how she responds, depending on what your idea might be.

Ok, common things whilst reading all the above:
1) Wife/mum is so busy throughout the day that she is to tired for sex at night.
2) Wife /Mum has to deal with House/Kids/Hubby 7 days a week.
3) Wife/mum may be loosing herself in being Wife/mum and does not have any down time!
4) Wife is aware that her lack of sex drive is an issue and hence feels worse still.

Changes to be made by Hubby:

1) BACK OFF! Give her some time to adjust to these changes.
2) Yep you have been at work since 6am and now its 7pm (well guess what she is still working) oh now you understand!
3) Maybe on a Monday/Wednesday/ Friday you could put kids to bed whilst she does " What the hell she likes" ( have a bath, watch some crap on TV etc) make her a cup of tea and maybe a snack!
4) You clear the dinner away, wash up.
5) Sit on the same sofa and just enjoy being near each other.
6) Go to bed at the same time (not for sex)

The comment from the person who said have sex in the morning & tell kids not to disturb you! yeah ok you are definately in for a shock when you have kids believe me. Nothing more off putting than knowing kids are awake, your trying to have sex (quietly) and the fear that little Johnny is staring at you at the end of the bed saying " WHy is mummy making funny noises daddy?"

If you are going to have sex in the morning make sure it much earlier than the kids wake up!

If you are going to have sex in the evening make sure its about 1hr after the kids have gone to bed!

Oh yeah! If you have had a tough day, just think yours was over hours ago, your wife is still having a tough day and she cant have a break.

How can I say all this? Well I have been there, I totally understand the sexdrive thing (why do you think i'm here?).

I took a step back and took a "Look in" to our lives from the outside. You will be shocked at may be how things can and should change.

You get your space and your identity everyday, she get wife/mum can I have, where is this or that everyday (7 days).

Give her back some of "HER", "Her time", "Her space" believe me it works, the less pressure she is under the sex slowly starts to come back.

Hope I helped?
