Evan thank you for this post. In my own relationship I have most everything I want except for the amount of sex I desire. My bf said the same thing about the testosterone levels as his reason for lack of desire. I still struggle with this but most recently have began thinking that perhaps I look to sex to fill the need I have to feel loved. And instead of looking to him I have been looking at myself and asking am I missing a void that exists in me.

1) How does marriage and relationships benefit MEN these days?
His CS will be lowered (in many states a spouse and other children in the household will lower CS regardless of whether children are bio or step)
Not having to troll for a no strings poa.
2) What is the difference between dating and escorting and marriage and prostitution?
Marriage/dating means when the wallet gets tight you are still there (I said tight not bankrupt).
Escort/prostitution she/he will be gone and you will be sexless as soon as the money dries up.
3) How many women actually know what chivalry REALLY means and why do they confuse this with manners, especially if they are on the receiving and and men on the giving end?
Chivalry was an ideal never actually fully achieved.
CS at 18 2-3 100k in years. My 13 1/2 yr old daughter won’t have even received 12k when she turns 18. And no she wasn’t a unilateral decision. Not everyone gets the average amount. Remember those averages include people like Jim Carry’s daughter who receives 150k a month. The vast majority of single moms live in poverty (and the liberal government folks like it that way because it gives them an excuse to raise taxes for child care etc programs. Single parenthood is incentivized for the poor.)

I live in that relationship where he was a man whore for 15+ years and has depleted his sex drive. I was very stingy about sleeping with random men (hence the landfill that has all those vibs with burnt out wires) so I want it more than once or twice a month and he doesn’t. If he’s still non sexually affectionate and attentive than by a vibe and let it go. I’d kill to have sex 2-3 times a week with him (whom I have been in love with since 16 — yes guys he popped the cherry). For now porn, vibe and the occasional girlfriend will have to do until my sex drive slows down in a decade.

But the point is that the all of the reasons are to give the lower earner something by way of monetary benefit. Why not be a responsible adult and not expect someone else to pay for it?
Not necessarily. What if you lose your job after a partner dies and you had children? The higher earner can get SS while they are looking for a new job. Not everything is so cut and dried.

How about getting married because you want to be married to that person. Because it looks good to the courts to be married not cohabitating (lets face it half or more of all kids have parents who are no longer together and any leg up in a custody case is a good thing). Because people so treat cohabitation differently (i.e. it is a second class status). And many companies will not provide med ins to cohabitating couples (and I know of more situations where her med ins is cheaper than his so she pays for med ins.)

Notice that sex ISN’T the first thing they want in a MARRIAGE MATE. The amount of sex means NOTHING to someone you REALLY want to be with. LOVE & RESPECT are. Find a woman who can make a man FEEL and THINK that and who is consistent in that…and she’ll never run out of men who desire her. and a man who never has to worry about his woman loving him is a man who WILL stick around for YEARS, not just months.
Amen.
If you seriously ask a woman does she need or want a man, she’ll say no.
Sorry I both need and want one. Of course I have the one I want so….
Our sex life has slowed down and everytime he tells me no, I feel extremely unpretty and unsexy. Not so much now as when it first started happening, but I still feel rejected. It’s not about the sex, it’s about feeling wanted.
And now we hit the nail on the head but she is hyper focused on an act and most likely making her guy feel like a$s.

I think the main point that was missed here, by the commenters and even Evan, is that she’s feeling rejected. I know because I’m going through the same thing. Our sex life has slowed down and everytime he tells me no, I feel extremely unpretty and unsexy. Not so much now as when it first started happening, but I still feel rejected. It’s not about the sex, it’s about feeling wanted.

It’s been suggested to masturbate. I used to masturbate once a week, if that. It’s increased to once a day or more. The other day I masturbated 4 times and after the last orgasm I burst out in tears. It’s not the same. It doesn’t feel the same physically or emotionally.

I’m 20, he just turned 21. Like Sarah, we’ve been together for about 7 months now and he’s told me I’m the best sex he’s ever had. He’s even told me I’m the prettiest and sexiest girlfriend he’s ever had. I’ve never had a relationship or sex with anyone besides him, so it’s easy to guess that do to my inexperience, I don’t really know how to handle this.

This problem in similar to the one i’m having but i’ve been dating the guy for almost three years and we are both 18. we’ve started having intercourse earlier this year and it was at a decent intervals. maybe three times a week, then it increased whenever we were not busy. But almost three months ago almost all physical activity has stopped even kissing. Mostly because i’ve been busy, where he has told me he has missed me, but whenever we are alone he doesnt engage in anything, not even a hug. Now im not busy and we have time to be with eachother, beli;eve me i’ve given him signs, and he just doesnt seem to want to. :/ so its not that bad when your just starting to date someone, but after three years…you gotta start to wonder if your serious relationship is starting to get old. Im still young so im not too worried about it, but it really sucks being in it still and wondering if he is interested in you after all that time.

It seems a shame that so much energy is wasted on this topic. Let’s face it: everyone will not be in perfect sync with the other when it comes to wants, needs, and desires. If you want a good relationship, you MUST learn the art of patience, compromise, and appreciation. Instead of asking, try giving. Instead of complaining or wondering, give praise and show commitment.

If you really value this person and your relationship with them, then you need to GROW UP (I don’t mean that as an insult or in a mean way) and realize this give-and-take thing is what it’s all about! And, masturbation doesn’t hurt either.

Time will bring the ebb and flow back around to the flow part of the cycle. What have you done for him, lately? (cha cha cha!)

Peace!

JG, I write this for clarity’s sake. I’m not trying to argue [well, maybe a little ] or antagonize.

If you look at my #66 post above, it goes with this also. I think women are conditioned from a pretty young age to think that “all men want is sex.” I think you are exhibiting some of that now. BTW, we do want sex. We also want to be cared for (not in a nursing way) and respected.

I think ds’s point is that a good, healthy, successful relationship depends on what a woman does for a guy outside of the bedroom. Don’t get me wrong, sex is important, it’s just not the only thing.

With all due respect, you seem to be ignoring ds’s points when you wrote, ” Lets be honest, men aren’t running around saying how much they want a woman to treat them right and play golf with them.” Yes, they are. Maybe not golf, but SOMETHING where you demonstrate your love, respect for, and interest in him besides simply being with him.

“I was just trying to make the point that sometimes the message women get from society and men themselves, that sex is a huge major important deal to making a man happy.”

You are right. So am I. I think you do make my point in #66 for me in that women are conditioned to think that’s all men want. To be fair, men, particularly under age 25, probably don’t give many contrary indications to this notion.

Here’s the big question, though – Knowing that guys want more than sex only for a successful relationship, what are you prepared to give? Because from what I read, simply showing up isn’t enough.

Sex makes a man very happy, when he is in his prime

“Well, JG seems to think everything is the responsibility of men. From the first quote to the last, women are the poor victims and the men are the evil troglodytes that only focus on sex. The animals. ”
—————————————————————————–
That wasn’t the message I was trying to deliver at all. I don’t consider women victims or men “evil”. And I don’t even understand how you read into my comments and turned it into that. I was just trying to make the point that sometimes the message women get from society and men themselves, that sex is a huge major important deal to making a man happy.

But, what I also know and see everyday are men and women who love each other deeply for who they are not what they do; not how much they make, or not what they look like. That’s what I want, and I’m going to be bold and say that’s what most people want too.
*
Funniest thing…you’ll find that women who respect their men make better choices in men, talk to older women who have long lasting relationships with their men and who learn what to ofer a man besides sex.

Show a man how you can benefit HIS life…and he’ll consider sex a bonus, not a requirement.

Some people seem to feel that being wronged makes this a hard thing to swallow…no, it’s constant hearing that you shouldn’t say anything about it and it you do, be nice about it.

Sorry, that just puts a band-aid on a bullet wound–to look at the original post, she says none of her OTHER men complained, but she’s complaining about a band aid sized wound to the man and making it bullet hole. Honestly, if a man has to deal with this sort of hassle in a relationship, why NOT just go for sex? It cuts to the chase and the games. If you as a man want a woman for more than sex, CHOOSE WISELY…DON’T ignore red flags or look at her just physically…studies show that looking at an attractive woman screws up a man’s reasoning.

So, if you ever have a woman like the OP and she says you’re not sexual enough for her, look her in the eye and honestly say…

I survived before you
I’ll survive with you…
I’ll survive after you

If the only thing you have to complain about me is I’m not sexing you enough, you don’t know HOW good you have it.

Just know, you can get a man who meets your ‘needs’, but trust me, he can meet other women’s needs to.

It’s cold, logical and straightforward, but it leaves her with the choice and the RESPONSIBILITY to decide whether she wants a good man with faults or a sexual man prone to cheat.
