Hello House,

While seeking a solution to some challenges I experienced lately, I set out to study some articles peculiar to the Nigeria environment and I discovered some shocking topics online.

Some of them talked about denial by either spouse for one reason or the other.
Others discussed domestic chores and how the man of the house should assist.

What got me thinking was the denial part.
Why would any woman deny her husband of sex?
I understand it happens.
My questions are:-

(1) Isn't the action a good reason to suspect infidelity?

(2) Could the woman be treating an STD and hiding her status from Hubby?

(3) Could she simply be unhappy or tired of the marriage?

Experienced nairalanders please what other likely reasons can you help with?

It could be a combination of these issues and/or psychological issues. She may be tired from the hassles of being a working wife and managing the household as well.

Women also generally have lower libido than men, so that may be another reason for denial.....

It's different in each union anyway! I have seen a marriage where it's the man who keeps denying his mrs of sex

it's relative. Nevertheless, in all things, women are insatiable.

Two different comments from both sides of the divide.
In my opinion, a woman who stays away from the matrimonial bed for at least 6 days is having "extra curricular activities".
Six days is even because of the average 5 red flag days.

most times the cause is more psychological or emotional than physical...contrary to popular opinion, most women attach a lot of significance to the word sex, to most it goes beyond the physical joining of bodies.....a woman who is emotionally deprived will make a very poor sexual partner.
