Dealing With a Sexless Marriage:

Sex may be on television, in the theaters and advertising, but it's not in the homes of 20 million American couples who are in sexless marriages.

Once a taboo topic, sexless marriages are getting more attention, in part because so many couples are complaining about the lack of sexual activity in their unions, according to one gynecologist.

It's an epidemic, Dr. Hilda Hutcherson said.

In a sexless marriage, couples only are sexually intimate 10 or fewer times a year.

How do you stop woman from having sex? Marry her. CHEAT ON THE FRIGID BITCH!

[EllaKathryn]

There are countless reasons why women lose interest in sex. A lot are from hormonal changes. Most are 100% out of her control. She can seek treatment for this, but it can be costly and have side effects. It also might not work. This is a part of life. If she's wonderful and your marriage is good in other aspects and you're still considering divorce over the lack of sex, perhaps you should re-examine your ability to be a husband.

I see it like this: If the main part of your relationship is sex, you won't last. Same thing if your relationship doesn't have enough sex ("enough" is determined by the individuals). It's all about balance.

@myalisa78 why do people need a form of control, why not submit equally and try to take care of each others needs when timing is right? im curious what your opinion is..

[Seyahhsod]

NO NO NO Elizabeth !!!

You are a law abiding , republican christian who ONLY, ONLY, ONLY, ONLY has sex for reproductive reasons, NEVER EVER for pleasure.

DON'T TRY TO CHANGE CHRISTIAN VALUES TO SUIT YOUR OWN NEEDS, Elizabeth.

That would be sacrilegious and WRONG .

Can't belive, "CHRISTIANS" these days. Speaking about sex between a husband and wife in the open.

What is this world-a-come'N too?

Combined with the fact that men have the most to lose in a divorce and the average wife gains nearly 40 pounds a few years after her first bite of wedding cake we have the "sexless marriage".... What another AWESOME reason for single men to stay single indefinitely!

THAAAAAAANK YOU!
