Mismatched sex drive

That's the score of the sex drive I and my wife have. I love it, she just hates it. Been married for a while - have never got to try out anything. Watching porn has become a fall back option to stay sane. No clues on what to do....what do you say!

Why does she hate it?

IamStarved · 11/02/2012 22:56

well...she finds it all too "yucky" and "dirty" and "slimy" and very animal-ish. I don't think there is any childhood abuse background to it (unless it is a case of she just not wanting to speak of it).

What do you make her do?! Grin Have you posted in relationships? Some of the girls might have an insight.

Talk to her & find out what she does want

Communication, compromise & being flexible in both partners needs.

Perhaps she needs some good, long foreplay. I don't know how she could resist after being wound up a bit first :)

Do you have young children, and how much do you help out with them/general chores? I used to feel "all touched-out" at the end of a long day with little ones, and the thought of prolonged foreplay would have sent me screaming for a locksmith!
