If it's a mutually accepted arrangement that both are content without sex, there is no debate, however, the premise of the original post was that this was a one-sided decision by the female. If my wife decided on her own that she no longer needed or wanted sex, she better understand that I don't always like mowing the lawn, but I mow it.
Lady_Di .....Understandable, a year is a long time. I suppose I would be ok with it, but not totally thrilled if my girlfriend decided she wanted to stop having sex with me. I'm kidding, she would never say that......'cause I don't actually have a girlfriend. SwoLy....Why must you hurt me? Rashmon...I see, I skimmed through it to fast, didn't fully understand the original premise. :grin: I Like the lawn analogy. Though, I don't have a lawn, so I wouldn't know the feeling.
NEWS FLASH: Men "cheat" since they want to sex with more than one woman AND act on that impulse. The state of the tank has little to do with that.
Do you really want to have sex with someone who views it as a chore? I think some people in here are jumping to conclusions about other people's relationships. It may not work for you, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work for them. If the relationship was supportive, nurturing, caring, and meaningful enough, I could imagine a man who is satisfied without sex. I've just never actually met such a creature.
well we kissed passionately... but i'm not crying.....

Actually, didn't someone post an article a while back about this? And that a large chunk of women actually do enjoy giving BJ's because of the power they hold over the man as they do it? I certainly wouldn't discount that possibility.
If you read the article in the OP, there was at least one man who was certainly not satisfied with the situation. He and his wife were seeing a councilor, but the wife was not optimistic about their chances.
There was an article posted a while back (turned out to be bogus), where Hathaway claimed that she really enjoyed the back door action.
Maybe she just doesn't enjoy sex, but a man needs to still release himself. It is the best thing to relieve stress and make yourself tired to crash immediately at night. Even if she didn't enjoy sex (doesn't mean she doesn't like or find you attractive) chore or not she better be doing it so the man gets his release. Plenty of times my girl wouldn't feel like having sex that night(she would be exhausted) but she would do it for me, other times I would let her sleep and live without it. On weekends we definitely had nothing holding us back.
I don't know - I've been married for 13 years and while we usually do it like once a week. If we miss a couple of weeks I start to get pi$$ed. From my experience, if you want your man to cheat on you, stop having sex with him. The longer the drought, the more he'll consider it. Personally, it's more of the psychological factor than the physical. I think you both feel more fulfilled, but it may be more important for the man. It may sound crass and cavemanish, but the most important role in marriage for the man is providing for and protecting the woman - and for the woman it's making the man feel like he is appreciated and the alpha male. Physically I could do it every day - but I enjoy it more when she's into it - and that puts it on a weekly basis.
I understand after a few kids because some people have droughts, but no way in a relationship without kids.
