Mismatched Sex Drive Hack: The Marital Magic Minute

I may have found the hack for mismatched sex drives!? I could happily go weeks, maybe months without sex and wouldnt think of it much. DH OTH has a high sex drive. After years of arguments, debates and heart to hearts, a few weeks ago I came up with the magic minute and I feel there's is somwthing in it. AIBU?

My theory is, I can do anything for just 1 minute a day. So the rules are:

1 minute a day

  • sex/bj/hj/cuddle/kiss
  • appropriate moment/place i.e. no kids could walk in etc and not i.e when I am ready to sleep.
  • obviously some days I will be up for longer but no obligation.
  • its not scheduled so its whenever a minute works

I retain the right always to say no of course.
When we first implemented I had a cold so DH opted for a cuddle for 7 days. So its got him reviewing the days too, whereas previously he said there was always opportunity and would say "its been x days/weeks" without thinking of what may have affected those dates.

Its working well for us, what do you think if you are in the same boat? Could you do just 1 minute and then its done?

Great if it works for you but personally I can’t imagine a more depressing sex life than this.

Also, are seriously saying that your husband comes within one minute?

I don’t think she is saying that no, if she doesn’t want to carry on after the minute thy finish before he finishes’. That’s how I read it.
Though, if they often don’t have sex for months, it wouldn’t be too surprising if he lasted less than a minute!

Genuinely can't think of any upsides to a one minute mandatory hand job from my wife

None of the pros of an actual hand job but with added obligation and coerciveness

What?? Sex in 60 seconds? No thanks.

What? Twice?

And I strongly disagree with your central hypothesis, that you can endure anything if it's just for one minute a day... no, I don't think I could, no.

Sorry but this doesn't sound very magical at all. I'd hate to be your husband in this setup.

No. Sounds very transactional and not especially enjoyable for either party. What if he hasn’t finished during the one minute? Do you leave him hanging? Do you have a stopwatch going? So many questions….

Even a one minute cuddle is complete bullshit, Probably takes me longer than that just to get comfy
