Sounds like a really daft question to ask, but I really wanna know how things are on the other side.
I've been married for just over 5yrs now, but I can't really say it's all hunky dory (well, marriages aren't always all that).
It isn't doom and gloom either, but the romantic side isn't getting better. I mean, I can't handle not having intimacy at least once a week for instance.
I'd really like to know whether this is a big ask 'cuz my other half seems to be able to handle it for a month or two. I'm not sure if I've got misplaced passion, but I'm sure not all women are like that (as you can imagine, I wasn't exactly a *dull* boy b4 I got married).

Does childbearing make women lose their affinity for intimacy?

My woman doesn't even ask for intimacy, which makes me think that I'm the one something's wrong with. We have a lovely family, blessed with two kids, but I'm tempted to look for occasional satisfaction elsewhere (yeah, I know it isn't the best but I can't seem to be able to change my woman). I know that could be dangerous, but, this is why I find myself btw a rock and a hard place.
Please share your experience if you think it'd help me.

I'm not fooling around, so please your honest advice will be appreciated.
Though I'm a Christian, I wouldn't wanna read any Bible verses here as I'd like to see comments coming from a practical perspective.

u gotta talk to ur woman. trash d issue. ma gurlfrnd ws once lyk dat, bt afta our discussion i discovered she realy wntd it bt she ws shy to ask. she's ur woman nd dia4 meant to satisfy u. dnt eva tink of having it outside else u ll liv wit its guilt 4eva.

In addition 2 d last thread veiw talk more about u love making ,don't embarass her but stylishly lure her 2 see reasons .u might as well let her know u don't want 2 double date so she needs 2 double her effort 2 satisfy u ,jokinly, yes i mean jokinly.

@poster, I really feel your pain. Just talk to her about it.

chaircover@since u hav come to tell other ladies that is not a devlish act may be they will change.

I mean been ROMANTIC.

My view, u can help your wife to be more romantic, by being romantic yourself,
i don't know your specific situation, but how do you expect your wife to give of herself (body wise) if she's giving of herself in taking care of the kids, making sure the house is a home, doing the errands, it's even worse if she works,

but like someone said, talk to her, it's free,

u have been given good advice.stick to it.i know that communication marriage especialy save alot of trouble.

You gotta quit lamenting like a baby.

due to chilbearin ur wife may feel consious ov herself n may be shy wen it comes down to u guys makin love, the best thing is to talk to her n let her understand that ur a man n need to be satisfied,also no wats makn her act that way this way u guys can communicate bettter

mama-gee:

You gotta quit lamenting like a baby.

you gotta stop acting like a baby

Atimes, it depends on how much satisfaction she derives from the show, you could make her feel like wanting you if you'd put her satisfaction first, some women became frigid out of sexual dissatisfaction.
and like someone had earlier said, child bearing , breast feeding and many other factors could also contribute to it. having said it all,it's only your wife that knows the answer to your question.
