Hubby wants to make love constantly

ChristinaCat · 27/12/2025 20:38

I love my DH to bits and he is so lovely and understanding and an extremely nice fit bod too! We have an amazing caring and fun relationship…But …he wants to have sex constantly and I’m so tired a lot of the time!Any ideas?

Not much worse than a sex pest. Tell him to get a hobby. You’re not a machine.

Arlanymor · 27/12/2025 20:40

Tell him not right now because you're tired. He's your husband, you should be able to talk to him. He's lovely and understanding isn't he?

EchoedSilence · 27/12/2025 20:41

You say no if you are too tired.

ShesTheAlbatross · 27/12/2025 22:48

What is the specific issue?

Do you not feel able to say no?
Is he always pestering you for sex?
Does he get shitty (or worse) if you do say no?

What are you tired from? Is there anything he could be doing more of to help preserve your energy levels (and, frankly, keep him busy)? I've seen so many women on here whose 'dear' husbands leave them to do everything for the house and kids, work full time, and then make out they're being unreasonable by being too tired to turn into The Incredible Sex Kitten at bedtime.

Kibble19 · 27/12/2025 22:50

Why are you tired so often? Kids? Work? Housework?

Is he pulling his weight when it comes to the daily, monotonous stuff? Asking because I’d bet he’s not. Suggest it; tell him you’ll have more energy for sex if he helps more with xyz.

She’s asking for advice, so isn’t the obvious answer that if she’s tired and he needs release, she can’t help and therefore tells him to take care of it himself? It’s hardly rocket science.

"needs release" ?????

Yes, release. What do you think happens when adults "make love" exactly?

Tryingatleast · 27/12/2025 23:42

Talk to him, tell him how tired you are, and that you’d like to do it sometimes but can’t all the time!! also have a think about when you are in the mood or if you don’t ever do it. Sex can fizzle put and everything can go south and sex is one of the things that stops you both from just being companions!

TalulahJP · 27/12/2025 23:47

you think it’s annoying just now just wait until you're 50 and menopausal and really really not up for it and he’s still practically humping your leg like a dog.

fun times when sex drives are mismatched.

we need some kind of bromide in the water lol……

I think it's the "needs" that was being questioned.

Men don't need to cum, they want to. Framing male sexual desire as a "need" is a manifestation of men's sense of entitlement to women's bodies and women's failure to challenge that sense of entitlement.

Ah, so it isn't making love. It's 'release'. OK.

Making love is the emotional connection between 2 people in physical form.

Release is jizzing into a tissue or a sock.

And men wonder why the loneliness epidemic is growing.

PaperMachePanda · 28/12/2025 00:52

Tell him you want to take sex off the table and do other things. Have a bath, a massage, etc etc. There's more to intimacy than sex.

Other than that get a spray bottle and tell him to back off.

That's an aspect that I didn't immediately spot. Thanks.

You know how I keep using terms like "wife appliance", "bangmaid", and "wanksheath" to describe how a lot of men see women? CompSc4542's comments are an example of why I use those terms.
