Sexless Marriages

I know how tough it is to have a different sex drive than your spouse. I’m at an 8 and she’s at a 4. It makes things difficult. Fun when we come together, but I need much more than she does.
Over the years, stress, kids, timing, etc. I get it.
 
There's lots of reasons why a wife may lose interest in sex, not the least of which is she's married to a selfish lover, a guy who doesn't do his fare share of the chores or a guy who has given up on his own health, appearance, etc...

BUT if a guy is truly doing his level best to be an attentive husband, and lover, etc... he might want to encourage his wife to see an endocrinologist or urologist to have her testosterone level checked. A sharp decline in sex drive can signal a steep drop in this very essential human hormone. And contrary to popular belief, it is responsible for more than just sex, in both men and women.

Apart from it's impact on sex drive, a below normal testosterone level in women can lead to osteoporosis, weight gain, decreased energy level, and cognitive decline, etc.. Yes, T levels normally drop in menopausal women, but they shouldn't bottom out. For this reason, testosterone supplementation is routinely given to menopausal women in the UK and Australia.

If your wife has lost her sexual interest in YOU, then perhaps it's a YOU problem. But if she's lost interest in sex altogether, then it could be low T, which could signal other problems.

That could be for many, but not here.

Good advice.

That's a low blow, fella, and not totally accurate.
 
It does indeed. Too bad there isn’t a forum outside of Lit where people could discuss with others in the same situation.
There are forums for sexless marriages, or use to be.
The MarriageBed DOT you know what used to have one I was active on.
Haven't been to the site in years. Use to post there.

LoveShack DOT was also good for relationships.

But doesn't matter anyway. Would wager most of those in the boat of long-term sexless marriages 10-15 years ago likely remain in the same situation, which also affects woman.

If one partner vetoes sex, that's the end of it. Not even God could end that.
