What happens when a husband's libido lags? Two new books offer advice on a
surprisingly common problem.

Beth Leary is one of those lucky people who are still happy after nearly 20
years of marriage. Leary (not her real name) and her husband are the best of
friends. Both are middle-aged college-educated professionals with demanding
jobs. But they call each other frequently during the day to chat, go to church together, and spend their limited free time either going out to restaurants or
staying at home reading and enjoying each other's company. Many women would envy the setup. Except for one thing: Leary and her husband rarely have sex.
By her estimate, they make love about every other month. And it's always at
her urging. "In terms of sex, this isn't what I signed up for," she says. "But I don't think we're that unusual."

Leary may be on to something. Research shows that about 20 percent or more of the married among us are DINS: Dual Income No Sex couples. While conventional wisdom holds that it's usually women who aren't up for sex (no pun intended), marriage experts say that's not necessarily true. Many men who are physically capable of having sex don't fit the stereotypical image of macho sex machines who want to do "it" anytime, anyplace. . . .

lyFrom my experience on 10% or less of women enjoy sex equal to men. Almost every relationship is based on sex first followed by other secondary reasons. The more education the less importance sex has in either sex.

Men deprived of sex by their wives either take one of the following paths, eat for pleasure, justify buying toys to entertain themselves, seek out power or cheat on their partners while doing the above.

Are you still living with that 10% of which you speak, ca? I doubt it.

Oh puulease. This is the same guy who likes to watch farm animals fuck.

[Psychoblues]

Still telling lies, I see.

Oh puulease. This is the same guy who likes to watch farm animals fuck.

Watching anything fuck is absolutely a republican thing for which I am unfamiliar. I did, however, reference that obsession in a previous thread and now you want to hang it on me? Don't give up your day gig, S1. Even Atlantic City gets better than you from off the streets of Harlem. Just when did the Comedy Channel tell you that you were rejected?

Here are the reasons I am against marriage, www.nomarriage.com

that is my opinion..

[Psychoblues]

And you are entitled to that opinion, martin. Why would you want to diminish or even eliminate the rights of other Americans to feel differently on that subject or any other?

[actsnoblemartin]

I didnt say anything about diminishing or taking away anyones rights.

I just dont believe in marriage, and i want to simply express my viewpoint.

[Psychoblues]

And I said that you were entitled to that viewpoint. Is someone giving you a hard time about that? Let me know.

[actsnoblemartin]

some people do, but more about the fact i dont want kids

I get all the sex I want and need in my own home, gabby. Where're you getting yours?

Psycho reproducing... that's a scary thought.

[Psychoblues]

You have a tough time getting it up, don't you a'21?

i dont check this folder often. I have other priorities.

Besides, you aren't exactly one to talk. You've resurrected threads that were dead for weeks to respond to posts.
