angry when he doesn't get sex

Hi all
My husband has, i think, a reasonably high sex drive. He'd love to have sex every day and certainly feels he's missing out if he doesn't have it twice a week. We've been together 15 years and i'm 41. He was always more interested in it than me. Problem is if i decline out of tiredess or no libido he gets so angry. When he hasn't had sex for a few days he becomes very touchy, irritable and moody. Which then makes me want sex even less...it's a stupid vicious circle i guess.
Has anyone any similar experiences?

I have a friend who's DH does this. Moody, irritable followed by cheerfulness and calm once he's had sex. She went through a phase of doing it to appease him, sometimes enjoying it, sometimes not.

His reasoning is that he loves her so much he needs to have sex with her as opposed to a wank. She sees it as him being more of a PITA than controlling about this. Generally, they are very happy, she has put a huge effort into her marriage in many ways, I have no idea what sacrifices he has made.

This would be a deal breaker for me though, how could there be respect on either side?

Exactly. I'd rather be celibate and single for the rest of my life than put up with some emotionally stunted twat's rampant sex drive and peurile sulks. No way to live imo.

No no no, don't put any more effort in. THis isn't about mutually enjoyable sex, this is about this knob getting his own way. He's not willing to work on reaching a happy compromise with you, he's determined to have sex on you and for you to understand that your place is to please and obey him.
