I think DH is a sexoholic.

[AllShaggedOut]

Honestly...what actually makes a man "unatural" in his need for sex? We're both in our mid-thirties with 2 dc...I DO enjoy sex...it's great but not as often as he wants it.

It causes rows...he ould do it three times a day if he could...he has never showed signs of being unfaithful...but I can't shag that often!

I work from home and so does he at times...if DC are not there then he comes after me all the bloody time...I have name changed for this btw as FAR too embarrased to talk about this otherwise.

We had a row today because I said that if I dont want it I dont want it and nagging or sulking is pointless...he thiinks I should "try" more as it really affects him if he can't do it often.

It DOES seem to affect him...he gets tense and grumpy...and sorting it out himself iyswim doesn't "work" apparently.

I would be happy to do it about twice a week...my younest is only 2 and I get knackered! I dont always feel sexy due to looking like I have been dragged backwards though a bush!

What to do? Feel like it will never work...

Yeah...don't think I know any men who carry on like this, either. I couldn't respect them as friends if I thought they had that sort of sily attitude.

I found the problem that he didn't just never leave me alone. He wanted me to want him and initiate it as well. But if you are at it constantly, how can you want him again? if you approach him it would be you are 'trying' not you want really want to shag yet again. And there was something wrong with me if I didn't want him at any time of day or night and again and again and again and act like a porn star. ( I wish i had explained they are acting),( Oh well, he wouldn't have listened anyway.) Don't know if OP has this problem.

I agree it might be he wants to feel reassured and loved in general as well.
It would be nice if OP could sort this out and her DH co-operate, with some of the suggestions. If he is a nice man, in other areas.
