Breaking the stereotype-men are the ones who don't want sex

My husband and I have been together for a few years now. He's my everything and I adore him and I know he feels the same way. Our relationship was a whirlwind and started very hot with us having sex multiple times a day. Then slowly it started to slow down to a couple times a week, twice a week, and now maybe once a month. I was chatting with the wives of his friends and they are all in the same boat. We women feel like sex crazed maniacs and it's the men who "aren't in the mood" and we catch them with porn later. I spoke to my husband about it concerned that he had lost his attraction for me or that we were becoming boring.He states it's always the opposite. My husband has gained some weight since we got together and he states that sometimes sex is just hard for him. I've always been a very sexual person and I've been totally okay with it-but it's also driving me crazy! Are there any other ladies out there who feel my pain? What are some tips to help? Again I want to stress I'm not worried about our relationship it's extremely solid. I want him to feel comfortable with his body but there's gotta be a way :)

OMG, i completely feel your pain! I feel like I'm bugging him for sex. We too have a solid relationship built on love, trust & communication... But sometimes I don't want to talk to him about how it makes me feel to be rejected when I initiate or try to initiate making love because I feel, well kind of silly. I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same position as I am, but on the other hand relieved that I am not alone

It might not help but couldn't hurt, when you're feeling frisky try doing all the work to get started, it might help him knowing you love his body no matter what he thinks he looks like and if it's easier to just watch porn and take care of himself, they getting him going then hop on top and let him just lay there while you tcb.

I am going through the same with my husband. There are times that after I talk with him about his lack of drive and enthusiasm for sex it gets better, but I find that it doesn't stay that way. I'm curious what your husband says about watching porn instead of being intimate with you?

Exact same boat here. The rejection is the worst. So I'm fearful to initiate it because sometimes my lady ego can't take rejection lol he always makes sure to cuddle and kiss me after but usually I'm cranky lol

That's sounds just like my husband. His complete lack of wanting sex really took a toll on me, l feel like it's me and that I've done something, but he says the same that it's convenient. Sometimes I don't ever want to initiate it because I'm afraid of rejection or that he'll agree because he feels bad

He says that often it's just easier. He's usually in the mood at like 3 am when I'm asleep. He plays a lot of video games and I think it's more a matter of convenience since he's already on the computer. He says he's kinda ashamed of it though.
