Sexless marriage, just sex, just not sex, or just about...

May 01 2018

Sexless marriage has got a mention on the boards recently. This thread is an opportunity to discuss the subject in general. It's not about my sexless marriage because that has been discussed too much already, it's about the whole issue of sexless marriages. Please keep an open mind and avoid pontificating, if you have been burned by unfaithfulness then that is a separate matter. Start a new thread... I believe sexless marriages are reasonably common, but not commonly discussed. Over to you...

    I’m very interested in this. Not because I was in one although there were a couple of dry patches. But find it interesting that the majority of my friends in their 40’s really aren’t that interested in sex with their partner at all. I see pain on both sides. The man because he feels unwanted. The woman because she has no libido and feels like she’s letting him down. Although in one of my friends it’s the opposite. Her husband is the uninterested one. - Posted from rhpmobile

    We must be a minority as we cannot get enough of each other. But then there is so much love between us and maybe that s the big difference and as we get older it just seems to be getting better and better. - Posted from rhpmobile

    what anyone says.."A relationship IS a two way street"if one partner is not prepared to negotiate the terms of the relationship, then negotiations are off the table. I never question WHY a woman plays up on her partner IF I become aware she is doing so whilst seeing me.The most I will do, is work out what works for her to keep her safe and as sane as possible for the duration of OUR tryst.No one else matters to me.

    I don't think its right to assume that someone's sexless marriage is a deficit of love. There would be so many factors all individual and unique to each couple that plays into a lack of sex. My hubby and i have been together since we were 16 and we've had peaks and troughs and mismatched libidos at times ... its natural. Our factors during dry spells were complicated pregnancies and babies, career stressors, body image/confidence issues and logistics. Not for one moment in those over 20 years did we not love each other. I think it's a great topic OP, and ill be interested to see what other peoples stories are. - Posted from rhpmobile

    My relationship is sexless because of several medical problems that have evolved over time. But it is not deficit of love and affection, and we have been together 18 years now. I consider myself incredibly lucky that she gave me permission to play. While it does depress her that can can't do it any more, at least she doesn't have a sex drive either to feel someone else is getting what is hers. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Only 5mins whereas I want more like hours, in time we grew apart as time changes people do change too. I say marriage these days give it an exp date for 2-15 yrs not everybody of course depends how they handle they’re relationship I say be open about it, direct and honesty goes a long way it’s all about compromising not just one sided. If ain’t working time to let go and move on. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Has anyone on here heard of karezza? Sounds pretty awesome and might help with sexless marriages (assuming both parties are willing to try that). - Posted from rhpmobile
