At what age do you think most couples stop having sex?

[feelingstifled]

Just that really. My DH and I had a very long dry spell, but with the help of a supplement (for him) we are now at it daily and we are in our 50’s. Would love this to last.

Right and you think you can fully assess someones 'attitude' from a one sentence post?? Bit arrogant

If we had to wait until we fully assessed everyone's attitude before we posted anything, nothing would ever get posted! We only ever see a partial picture, and we all base our posts on what someone's written - we don't hold off because we don't know the details of their lives intimately!

If someone gets it wrong, then the original poster can reply setting the record straight, but to post on MN (or have any conversations in real life actually) you have to make some assumptions and base it on the information that's been presented to you.

I phrased that wrong.

I meant if you can think you can fully assess what's going on in a relationship and with someones libido from a one sentence post and put it down as an 'attitude' issue then that's arrogant.

Especially considering there are so many factors that can come into play when it comes to sexless relationships, and so many negative feelings and outcomes that can come from having unwanted sex.

Most of the time even in real life when people discuss this particular issue they don't elaborate initially and just make a jokey or throwaway comment. I remember the first time a friend of mine brought something like this up she joked about how she put the dressing gown on as soon as she got home so that her husband wouldn't be trying to have sex with her. It's fairly easy to read between the lines there and think she's probably not actually finding this so funny at all (She wasn't) and for sensitive subjects people shouldn't be so quick to make their assumptions and paint something as an 'attitude' issue.
