All Imgur and no sexytime makes jack a dull boy

May 25, 2015 9:18 PM

Lately my sex drive has been like

But my wife's has been like

Unfortunately I'm not really into scientific research

So sometimes I get a little frustrated.

After 5 years (out of 12 years married), I've kind of started giving up

For the record, I'm in good shape, at least moderately attractive, not crazy, generally try to be nice / helpful, make good money and do a lot with the kids and the household. The weird thing is, on the relatively infrequent occasions we actually get things going, things go well. Suggested therapy but no shared interest. Suggestions Imgurians? I'm open to them.

there's no way around it: she's bored and you're being too safe. hit the gym and let her miss you. gotta kickstart the roller coaster again.

Clarification. Have discussed it with wife. Many times over several years. In the end nothing changes and usually does more harm than good

Also some times her perception of her own attractiveness could make her not want sec

See if it's a zinc deficiency- force feed her sunflower seeds and see if it makes a difference.

Just say it straight up. Be like hey it might seem weird to you but I'm stressed out over this.

Yup, have addressed it directly. Sometimes causes defensive reaction, sometimes offensive. Field position does not change though

Maybe she doesn't feel attractive and it's making her less interested. I'd say chat about it. Could just be a weird cycle. It happens.

This is probably a contributing factor. Unfortunately I think it needs more intervention if it will improve and she hasn't been interested

but do you put effort into foreplay?

That kid from #2 is probably dead.

Are there kids? Did she change after having a baby?

Yes and yes, but that was 5 years ago. OK 4.5 but who's counting

You could discuss this with your wife.

Been there, done that about once every two months. Goes nowhere fast and usually gets everyone pissed

Does your lady friend exercise herself?

Hahaha... thanks for clarifying. She's pretty healthy, but doesn't exercise. I suggest she start whenever I feel in the mood for arguing.

ummm that doesnt quite read correctly. I just want to know if she chooses to go to the gym or run or anything like that.

Honestly, I do feel like it would help though. She's not motivated, and I think it undermines her confidence when I try to suggest it.
