I'm sorry, but you married a non-sexual person.
Since he's been this way a long time, the chances that he'll change are quite low. frankly if it was always low sex drive,
then you got into this knowingly. dont try to change him/it anymore

@labiyemmy:

Read properly


@topic
how do you initiate it?communication is not strong enough here, listen sit him down one night, infact, wake him up from his sleep, and ask him a few questions, tell him you are not happy, cos he is pushing you into sthg you dont want to do, ask him the reason for his constant tiredness and lack of interest, ask him if he feels intimacy is only for reproduction

P:S You might wanna change the way your body approaches the subject, do you just go to him, or roll over to his side , shake him and ask him fro intimacy? have you tried turning him on in different ways, like massaging him on the bed with no clothes on, giving him a BJ, caressing him, you shuld know his weak point,try getting him in that area, send him x-rated sms when hes not at home, tell him how much you want him down there , and how you are going to ride him to pleasurable exhaustion when he comes home, join him in the shower or bath tub, give him a bath, wat sort of nighties n clothes do you put on? you have to activate his imaginary mind, let him begin to imagine what you look like under those sexy clothes,you have to look hot to make him want hot, are you the missionary type? if you are change, you have to be the mild aggressor here,this is your man, common do with him as you please smiley

not true,all hope is not lost, alot of pple lose interest cos they find their partner boring, or have some emotional problem that they need to see a psychologist or a counselor for, in this case these is marriage, and sacrifices should be made, that is both of them should be able to meet at the middle
Re: Unromantic Husband by yesoo: 4:31pm On Apr 18, 2010
Thanks jennykadry:ive actually tried soo many things to lure him to enjoy intimacy but all to no avail.the only time he succumbed to my desire soo freely without much aguements was when i told him he was indirectly pushing me out to have sexual partners outside wedlock.this really hurt him and we made love that day.infact,that month was one of my best months as a married woman.after some time he changed to his 'I'm not in the mood attitude'  cry

You have a point, and since you are married, I wouldn't argue with you grin
Re: Unromantic Husband by yesoo: 4:45pm On Apr 18, 2010
@jennykadry lol.i must say he is indeed very funny.when i look back and remember all the long stories,quarrels and arguements we go through 'all because of intimacy 'it amazes me.i just wished he is a romantic person because he is very caring although hot tempered.

She could always walk out when he turns her down, or seize sleeping in the same room for sometime, yea if he wants to know why, she should tell him there's no need since she cant have intercoure with him, whats the use, thats what i meant by emotional torture, you know just keep cooking his meals, u lot should keep talking the way you talk, laugh and joke about everything,, go to church together, spend time together, but when it is time to sleep, take your blanket and sleep elsewhere, in this case, an ultimatum is supported here, though im not a fan of it, but if it were me, God forbid, i'd tell him that if he wants me back on that bed, then he has to give me my marital benefits, he has to make me the woman that i no longer am, he has to honour his word of loving evrything about me until death do us part,tell him you are not happy, let him know you are not a happily married woman, you are a shadow of yourself, let him know these, tell him marriage should be enjoyed and not endured but in this case you are endurin and dont know how long you can go for, some issues should be dealt with ,with mild agression

Denying your partner intimacy is like sending that person to his/her early grave, cos whats the joy of going out and wanting to rush back home to spend some time with your family, when you know you will receive nothing in return even after giving?

This is emotion, emotion is life, tormented emotional mind leads to frustration, anger and pain of not even knowing what you are living for

I hate to be the one to say it but have you considered the possibility that your husband is on the downlow? Him saying he chose you because he felt your sex drive would be low sounds very suspicious to me.

grin grin grin grin grin

A big possibility as being gay is a sin in Nigeria. So many gay men are married to unsuspecting gullible girls who dont know the signs. trust me, a lot of Nigerian's are very gullible when it comes to gays. It could also be that the guy is older and has some erectile or sexual issues. Any hot blooded man that can resist his sexy naked wife is suspect. undecided

A medical condition in this case does not mean inability to 'perform', it's more like a medical reason for low libido/s.ex drive. A man with low libido has a reduced desire to have sex but he may still be able to perform if he has to. There are some medical and psychological causes for this which you could both explore. However from his statement , he has no interest in exploring a solution which is not normal. Most guys with low libido would go from doctor to doctor if need be to fix it so his disinterest is highly suspect to me. I don't strongly suspect a 'medical' cause. I believe it in his psyche/mind. Either he is gay and not sexually attracted to women but men, asexual ( not sexually attracted to anyone, male or female) or he has some deep psychological issue that has produced an aversion to s.ex. Whatever the case, you deserve to know the truth. I would start with counseling if it were me, individual and couples counseling. If you can find an experienced psychologist that is.

Apart from that? It's to fast and pray for God to give you wisdom to be able to extract the truth from him.

Noo, it's just what if? That doesn't mean it's true pls don't start thinking about that?

@ ileoba have said it all, it could be other mental or psychological problem , there are sex therapists you know? They will actually get in bed with him for few sessions ( witnessed it of course with my whitey friend).

There are endless solutions so get off that couch and do something, it's your life!
Re: Unromantic Husband by dayokanu(m): 9:09pm On Nov 08, 2012
Disadvantages of not test driving your intending spouse.

If you had bleeped him while dating maybe you wouldn't have tied the knot. But the idealistic being virgin till marriage is what you are paying for now.

Your own sex drive is way higher, there is no way of knowing that if you don't test drive.

lesson for unmarried ppl. Fuckkk the hell out of your fiancee before saying I do else you get stuck with a one minute man

Some things cant be taught

Again, these are issues that should have been discussed BEFORE marriage, not after. People don't typically change their body after marriage. A man/woman who is 'unromantic' before marriage is likely to remain so even after marriage. It is not a disease or a sickness and there is no such thing as as a CURE for being 'unromantic'. Not all humans are created 'romantic' . . . some are and some simply are not. Even a baby knows this . .

Not saying you should have been intimate with him prior to marriage but you two should have talked about these things and come to an agreement on how to meet each other half way. No need crying over spilled milk now . . . and thinking yourself a victim in all this. You went into the marriage with your headlights full on so either talk now on how to reach 'common ground' or accept this is the person you are married to.

Just pounce on him when he thinks he has escaped again and vent your "anger" on him on your bed. You are allowed. (It would be debatable if it were the other way round).

Tell him it is what husband and wife do regularly not seldomly. Don't laugh, I am not joking.
