"from Dr Laura's Blog - wives not interested in sex."

April 5, 2010 on 6:00 am | In Marriage, Masculinity, Sexuality Email

I hear from (and about) a lot of women who say they’re not interested in sex, and they are married to men who vowed fidelity, and so those men are now literally out in the cold.


Many women can be quite cruel about their behavior: telling their husbands to “just deal with it” or challenge them into getting a “girlfriend.” These same women may throw a fit if their husband pleasures himself while watching Internet pornography consisting of a man and a woman engaged in passionate sex.


Sheesh! They can’t have it both ways, unless women expect their men to bust their buns taking care of children and a wife without the normal, expected “reward” of love and passion.

Some women have medical issues which cut down on their feeling sexy, but not many medical issues truly inhibit women from pleasing their husbands, and then discovering themselves getting “turned on” in the process.

Most of the time, too many wives just get lazy and self-centered about taking care of their romantic and sexual lives because of kids’ schedules, friends and relatives, and “busy busy” stuff that just consumes every ounce of their energy. Let’s be honest - that’s an excuse and not a real reason. You can pace yourself and make choices. Many women don’t bother, and feel that the sexual needs of their husbands are burdens to them and not a compliment or offer of ecstasy.

Interestingly, many of these women are the ones who call me, complaining that their husbands don’t do much for them on Valentine’s Day, or birthdays and anniversaries. Are you kidding? What is he to celebrate? Marriage and family have turned him into an asexual monk!

Women’s sexuality requires “priming,” while guys are just about always “ready to roll.” A lot of that priming has to happen in her head: thinking affectionately about sensual things, bathing, primping and flirting - the kinds of things wives tend to leave at the altar or in the birthing room.

I have come to feel sorry for husbands in general in America today. The feminist mentality that has labeled any male needs as “oppression” has certainly poisoned a lot of minds out there.

If you think you’re one of those, or if you need your attitude jump-started, read The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands. It’s helped a lot of women get happier.

   I completely agree!

A lot of people talk crap about Dr. Laura and while I don't always believe in her personal opinions, this is one that I feel is definitely spot on!

Well valid points. There are always counter arguments, but as for guys this is one reason why some will end up sneaking around.

I'd say it's different if the guy is just a dead beat and doesn't do anything but breath. The the rationing I think its justified.

However, in relationships where guys bust but to keep the household together then there had better be a sexual relation or guess what, the guy will wander and seek attention else where.

   Whenever I read something like this, the first thing that comes to mind is something like "yeah, I know exactly how that feels'.

The next thing though, is 'I wonder how this would be affected by the de-criminalization of prostitution?'

I'm not sure it would really do a whole lot, but it seems to me that if it were not a crime to be able to bang the hottie next door for a couple of bills, it may very well remove some of the abuse these women are dealing their husbands.

Of course, there'd still be the moral stigma of 'one man, one woman......till death do us part', but if the opportunity existed.........

One thing I wonder a lot is just how many guys have not gone off the deep end because the hobby exists? I'd bet the number is a lot larger than anyone realizes!

Also, how many divorces have actually been prevented by the hobby? Bet that's a good-sized number too.

It is really really hard I know.

But the husbands also need to be honest about his needs and desires first and discuss the difference in approach to sex. After that her position which is denying you of sex while forcing monogamy will become clear. Well but then now she could call you sex addict.. dirty perv or
awful chauvinist. sigh

I think the hobby saved many marriages by men not having an affairs and completely destroying families as the result. That is definitely one of many unofficial benefits hobby contribute to our society.

having lived thru this myself, i have to wonder if this isn't all just a waste of words. wise words, but nonetheless of very little heed.

what are the statistics on asexual wives who change and relearn healthy desire? mine never did. i tried EVERYTHING and in the end just had wasted years. for husbands with kids, they should quit the frustration early when a wife plays this. just be a good man and good father, while fucking whatever and whomever you want on the side. don't even hide it from the wife for there is nothing to sneak about.

Hear hear, Thruxton. I'm going through this now myself. I hope the wife comes around, but after a decade-long struggle I've started to hobby...

And while I have always experienced strong, negative feelings when I have the misfortune to overhear Dr. Laura on the radio, this one time I find her advice to be pretty sound.

I'm not a big Dr. Laura fan but she's right on this one.

More and more unmarried women are starting to realize how selfish their married counterparts are.

In response to message #0
 
IMO this is the rule, not the exception, and the marriage survives if this period lasts until the guy gets into his 50s, when his lowering testosterone and fitness levels tend to suppress his sexuality anyway. That's when you see the happy husband who disappears into his converted garage woodshop and his endless lust for power tools. Such couples are essentially asexual most of the time, and mostly happy with it, most of the time.

But it's far more difficult when the guy is in his 30s and 40s.

When I go to a picnic or party and the guys are all talking about their power tools and how they rigged their garages, I'm listening to a bunch of fathers who have mostly given up on fulfilling sex with their wives, and are looking for other ways to express their manly drives.

Be the change
you wish to see

I agree with everyone else - sometimes Dr. Laura's advice is lame - but on the proper care and feeding of husbands - she is RIGHT ON.

However, Dr. Laura also advocates a traditional family - with the wife taking care of the home/children (maybe running a PT home business to contribute if they absolutely need the income) with the husband being the primary provider.

From a recovering serial bride's point of view, all I can say is feminism did nothing more than give me the "freedom" to work full-time on top of all the work I did before (cooking/cleaning/ironing/homework help,dressing/bathing kids/etc).

I didn't feel too sexy after an 9 hour work-day (minus lunch hr) that started at 5:30am getting myself ready (shower/hair/makeup/possible ironing of me & SOs clothes), put load of laundry in washer/getting my kids up and getting them ready/feeding them breakfast, dropping them off at school/daycare/commuting to work-from work/come home/put wet laundry in dryer/start dinner/help kids with homework/serve dinner/clean up after dinner/do dishes/fold/put away laundry/kid's bath time/get kids ready & in bed/shower/get myself ready for bed/COLLAPSE/read for 15 mins or so & fall asleep - just to get up at 5:30am the next day to do it all over again.

I've been married 2x/divorced 2x. I worked full-time and did everything around the house/for the kids. They both worked full-time and both cheated. If I nagged - I might be able to get them to do the yard work or or take out the trash. Sometimes, I ended up doing my husband's chores as well. As for the cheating? They were young, drank too much sometimes and when they did - they often "came to" wondering what happened to their pants!

The only REAL problem with their infidelities is that they found it necessary to unburden themselves of their guilt at my expense.

Honestly? If myfirst husband wouldn't have told me about such incidences - REPEATEDLY - we'd probably still be married today. But then...I wouldn't have my beautiful little girl.

Anywhoo...

The longest we ever went w/o sex was about 2 weeks - no matter how exhausted or angry I was because that was the only time we could pretend for a little while that everything was "OK." Both marriages were just exhausting on so many levels. After divorcing, I still worked full-time and all the rest - I was just relieved of the mountain of resentments that went along with it.

In my experience as a provider, I have had men break down and cry - saying,

"This (meaning our session) is like a godsend! Ever since she started going through menopause I can't do anything right! She never kisses or cuddles with me anymore. Ooohhh I really NEED this!"

These were all older gentlemen. While allowing them to vent and hug them through their emotions...I waited till the "silence" felt "right" and advised them to gently approach their wives about seeing a doctor for hormonal therapy (if possible).

Sex is important to a man at any age - but for married men who do not get it from their WIVES...

Because men express their emotions primarily through PHYSICAL means -when they are not allowed to make love to their wives and their wives make no overtures/rebuff their advances - husbands, in response - feel UNLOVED.

Personally, I don't plan on going through menopause. Just like Goldie Hawn, Christy Brinkley, Raquel Welch, Demi Moore, etc - I'm going on "the good stuff"

I saw what happened to my mom when she went through "the change" - she gained 50lbs and cut her hair like my DAD!

If a married father under 45 told me his wife didn't want sex and they both work full-time, I could give him some good advice too (hindsight is 20/20) take the money she wants to spend on marriage counseling and just HIRE A MAID
(you'll have a happier wife in no time) !!!

It's always Summer at my place! xoxo

RIGHT ON LAURA!!!!


So....
After 20 years of marraige. Got the Career, the house, the kids, the car, blah blah blah...

"THIS IS A BITCH RANT"

After listening to my wife gloat and prance around in her favorite summer dress (that she finally fit into after intensive dieting). she winks at me seductively as she peels it off and gets into her robe. Well guys, I was in the middle of doing yardwork and she flashes me through the back window...

I say to myself "Self!!! this is going to be a good day!"

I mentioned to her that I love that dress and that it would be so fun to just lift that baby up (she goes commando underneith) and have my way with her, she just giggled and walked away blushing.

Thoughout the day, she kept hinting at me with these sexual overtones added in..."Honey these strawberries in our garden would look good me with whipped cream"....

As I finished my days work and showered to prepare to take her out for her 44th birthday dinner, I was shocked (well not really) to find her in Jeans, red blouse and sneakers. I asked "what happpened to the dress?" she commented that it was getting chilly and she didn't want to be cold tonight.... Guess that screwed getting laid on the beach fantasy!!!!

Sitting at Phil's in Moss Landing last night during our dinner, we struck up a conversation of which usually includes "SEX" and I had an epiphany!!! Finally!!!! I was finally able to put 2 and 2 together!!!

as our converstion went on I learned:

1. She takes the lead in our sexual escapes to control the type and situation (whether It suits my need or not)meaning sexual position wise.

2. she gives me head just to satisfy me and she actually finds oral sex (both ways) disgusting and nasty.

3. She is never going to change.

Now guys... I know what your saying... "Dump her ass" but really she is a sweet and true gal, I would'nt trade her for a million bucks because this has a silver lining.

When we first got together over 20 plus years ago, her only rule was
"Don't ever let me catch you cheating on me"..."CATCH YOU".....

Epiphany..... She doesn't give a rats ass what I do when I am away, as long as I come home, provide, protect and love her!!!!

Great! I have been away from RB for a month ot two because I was trying to quit the hobby.

BUT FUCK IT! I'M IN!

Her loss, Is my gain and she wants to be ignorant about it?

SO BE IT!

If my wife, God rest her soul, would have worn a sexy outfit, had a seductive look in her eyes, flashed me through the window, etc., it's a safe bet that I would have ditched the shovel, hit the shower, and ravished the sam-hill out of her!!

Here's what I've found in being married to basically an iceberg for 25 years; women are moody. Their moods can change in an instant. They have very little control over their moods.

Strike when the iron is hot! Get it while it's still there. If us guys don't act almost instantly, her mood will certainly change, and we'll miss out.

I certainly don't mean any offense here, but I would have jumped on that right away. Literally as well as figuratively.

Oh Believe me, I have jumped at the "Hot Iron" and the outcome is always the same...

It's like doing a subject that you know gives you a problem... there is a point that you gop until you hit a brick wall and will go no farther. She hits that wall every time.

However...If she is drunk then all bets are out the window, she does it all,But she is a terrible drunk (hangover, sickness, etc...)

she is a 1 or 10 drinker.

When she does "Catch you", you can bet things will not go the way you're evidently thinking they will. She is going to be pissed and hurt and will never forget it. She may forgive you. She may stay in the marriage. But she will never forget it. I know; been there, done that.

I admit that I had a few rough years dealing with ailing parents, working a full time job 9 hours a day plus lots of overtime, along with my own health problems and peri-menopause. Went to a doctor but didn't get the help I needed. Also my husband would come home and stay on the computer for hours at a time. He never had time to help me or to talk to me.

When I discovered his hobbying, I made him talk. Well, I guess you'd say he talked to me. I still have to drag his feelings out of him. I always said if I caught him cheating, I'd cut off his balls and leave him. Well, I did neither because for some stupid reason I still love him. I felt I was partially to blame so I decided to change and I have done a complete turn around. Too bad he has turned around too. Now he's not as interested in sex. He had some health problems (the same ones I had minus the menopause) and a low T level. We took care of the health problems and the T Level but he still lacks interest in sex.

I've done everything he's asked me to do. Blow jobs, no underwear, handcuffs, sex outdoors, dressing up, getting DATY, which he says he loves to do but getting it from him takes an act of GOD, you name it and I've tried it. He wants me to be agressive and pursue him but when I do, he's too tired, his back hurts, his allergies are bothering him, blah, blah, blah. He sends out the negative vibes and I'm tired of trying.

Being retired (both of us) allows for plenty of playtime. Too bad he's not interested. I keep thinking that I should find a playmate the same as he did when I had my problems and lacked interest. I guess I'm just too old fashioned to act on it. I took vows 40 years ago and I've stuck with them even though he didn't. When we do make love, it's all about his needs. He rarely takes the time to actually make love to me. He can't understand why I can't get off within 15-20 minutes. I tell him I need some mental stimulation along with the physical but he doesn't give it.

Knowing what I know now, I try to tell my daughter, without letting her know her dad cheated on me for years, how important making love to our husbands is. Heck, I've said it several times on these boards.

The most important thing about marriage and sex is communication and how you communicate. If you can't sit down and discuss your feelings without showing anger and ask your wife what her true feelings are, how are you going to be able to help each other? If your wife does all of the housework and has a full time job and you offer her no help......why would she want to please you? It's a two way street.

I've certainly learned a lot about the way you men think by reading these boards. It saddens me that you think all wives are bitches. That is not the case. And not all men are jerks either. Thanks for letting me share my feelings.

Dr. Laura actually advocates that there is 1 stay at home parent. Doesn't matter if it's the mom or dad.

   I just read all these posts and WOW, it really hit home. I assumed that this was a situation many men are in but it seems to be an epidemic. I have been in this exact situation for years now and have tried everything to change things up. Over the past year the only sex I have had was via the Hobby. I fall into the category that NARAKU mentioned about the husband and father that busts his but to do everything in the relationship.

Thanks for a place to vent and to take some comfort by seeing I am not alone.

   Wow thgis one really hit home. There are some men that are going to cheat on their wives no matter what they do but there are many of us who have been driven to a place we never would have imagined.

I have been married for 18 years. After the second child was born my wife lost her sex drive. She is also on depression meds (Wellbutrin). We have talked this through for years now and I have long accepted that this is the way it is going to be.

If I push this issue anymore I may risk breaking up my family and I do not wish to do that. My youngest is 12 and when he is out of the house I will no longer be bound in this way.

She is a stay at home mom (her choice) and a good one at that. I make enough to give her a good life with trips and good fun. She says she is happy and knows this is a problem but she really does not understand why this is a big issue for me even though I have clearly stated it is.

This is the only reason I hobby. This hobby helps keep me fill the gap and in my opinion has made staying with my wife easier.

My wife will be shocked to learn that I will leave but that time will come and maybe with threat of divorce she will then understand. Today I can not afford that risk but tomorrow I can.

and yes, I do lots of things to help her including helping around the house, cooking dinner 2x/week, remembering mothers day and her birthday.

Dr, Laura is VERY correct here but few wives will accept this.

racecar spelled backwards is racecar.

Quoted For Truth. The second half is that part that applies to me. And like you, onlineseeker, it took me about 18 years to get to this point.

   It's a sad place to be in.

I'm not a hobbyist, yet. But I've been w/o for 16 months now.
Prior to that, it was 19 months and then 9 again. It's been a long few years.

My wife's health is poor. Sleep at 9 or 8PM.
Low energy and none for me, or my needs.

I've been considering the hobby for almost a year now.

There are some women, and probably men too, where there simply is no
desire for sex. Whether that is mental or physical is nearly irrelevant.
It just is and the partner has to deal with that, somehow.

But this article touches on a real problem.
This site proposes a solution.

   The above posts serve to confirm what I have suspected all along....While the hobby certainly has caused the breakup of some marriages, it has also saved many others. If the actual truth were known, I suspect it has saved a lot more than it has harmed.

If a few more idiot politicians and maybe society in general could understand this simple concept, I think a lot of people would be MUCH less stressed.

   Wow, thats amazing. Your wife does not work, earn money or even do all the housework. You provide, help around the house, take her on nice vacations and she refuses sex. Where on earth do women get such a sense of entitlement? And why do men tolerate it? Of course you will seek sex elsewhere. But really, the fact that she behaves like this indicates how little she cares for your needs and desires. Why stay in a marriage like that? Kids? Okay so what are you teaching your 12 year old? Thats what he/she should expect from his marriage?

   I stay for the kids. The home is a happy one and I do not allow this to make it a sad home. I keep this under lock and key. She is a good mother and outside of lack of desire she is a good wife. If the home situatio was not good I would leave today.

   Hey Onlineseeker,

What you are saying could not be more EXACT to what I am going through and feeling. At times I feel a little down about it all but all in all I am a happy and positive guy and my kids are great and my wife is great (outside of the bedroom) and feel it would be selfish to leave for lack of sex only, if she were a raging bitch or something I would be out of here too. This seems like an epidemic, what is the solution?

Dean

   Dont know what the solution is. In a perfect world I would find a mistress in a similar situation but supply and demand does NOT favor our gender here. I posted ads on CL and 99.9% are just web scam bots.

I answered a female looking and she had over 100 responses and she pulled the ad down.

So here I am making the best of a situation. There are some great ladies here and it fills a void in more than just the expected way but does NOT replace what I wish I had.

All and all though life is good so I am not complaining. There are far more of us guys in this situation than anyone dare admit.

   amen. I see this epedemic all the time. it drives men to places they don't want to go, but what do they do. you can't demand to be loved. you can't live without touch. you do all you can and it does not work. the women are selfish and cold. you have a family and don't want to divorce. your wife has some good ways but is totally numb and selfish. ..............this is played out a zillion times everywhere and we men are caught.

   Totally useless and inflammatory post.

All this "some" women and "many" women who do this or that without any examples, no attempt at statisitics or studies.

And then there is this gem:

"Most of the time, too many wives just get lazy and self-centered about taking care of their romantic and sexual lives because of kids’ schedules, friends and relatives, and “busy busy” stuff that just consumes every ounce of their energy."

How in the hell would we know what is going on "most of the time" with any of these women when we are talking in nothing but broad, pointless generalities?

"Women’s sexuality requires “priming,” while guys are just about always “ready to roll.”"

Interesting, in that about a year ago I read an article in a men's magazine (GQ, as I recall) that was about the large number of men (according to them) who lose interest in sex not long after getting married, or at least interest in having sex with their wives. Of course, that article was just as vague as what you're talking about.

"I have come to feel sorry for husbands in general in America today. The feminist mentality that has labeled any male needs as “oppression” has certainly poisoned a lot of minds out there."

Oh yes, we all can share in your crocodile tears here. Actually, I'm kind of chuckling at all your sympathy for the poor suffering hubbies which is really just the same old misogynistic whining in a different suit.
