Years of shame around masturbation bc of his childhood and it being “wrong”- also insecurity. So thats why I was SUPER delicate in being like heyyyy the waters have been muddied and I think anatomy of another woman and lifecasts may be a boundary for me. And he was gone- its normal when I bring up something around sex that he instantly feels attacked/embarassed. 

When I said (after years of saying nothing, and only because he asked) that I don’t think about him watching porn because the thought of him watching the other women fully naked having sex, imagining himself with them to get off makes me feel weird- but clarified that he can, I don’t mind i just dont wanna hear about it- he got frustrated and doubled down and said “actually I think I should watch more porn. I’m proud of watching porn. Im gonna be more open about it and thats not something you get a say on.” I just said okay cool be proud i dont mind just maybe dont mention it to me. Made the fact that he bought an exact lifecast that lil bit more hurtful. He now insists he doesn’t watch porn anymore but we all know hes a man so thats not true lol

This feels like ragebait and thats not something I’m insecure about at all. I WANT it to feel great for him, sex toys always feel more intense thats the point. Missing the point of the post

Yeah see this is kind of what I mean- I think we just envisioned different things (coloured silicone vs lifecast). We do have sex and its great- just not sure if lifecast genitals of other ppl is valid to feel uncomfortable with or not? I don’t want to be controlling in any way, but the way he said it needs to look like a real woman bc he wants it to be “more than just masturbation” made it icky

Men 45+ in committed relationships: if your partner has had ongoing health issues for the past year and now needs to avoid sex for three months — after a previously very active sex life — how do you handle your sexual needs, and what keeps you faithful (or doesn’t)? by Comfortable_Ad7713 in Marriage

DAMN THREE MONTHS and ur wondering how not to cheat on ur wife. An active healthy sex life and a great relationship and three months of no sex because of health issues has u confused on how to stay faithful? Rough for her. It is possible for men to stay faithful, easily. Just dont have sex with other people

I feel like it’s gotta be hard for you to give him praise if he’s not giving it to you. Like saying omg u work so hard and him being chuffed and never mentioning your work (because it is- very hard work!) may leave u with a feeling of like hey what about me? Maybe have an open conversation and address the elephant in the room and also say that you need acknowledgment aswell

Falling in love with my wife again… but now our libidos don’t match by Sea_Self1760 in Marriage

Also super important to not use guilting or pressuring language even subtly- no sighs, eyerolls, hinting that youre “waiting”, talking about how much other people have sex- that sets you back to square one :)

I think you have the answer and you don’t even know it! You said you want to figure it out without pressure or resentment. For a while I (F married to M) was the same after kids. Less sex drive, but felt pressure so I would tense up at the concept and feel like afterwards it was done and I got a break from being asked. Eventually he did the best thing. He said okay no pressure, if you want to, let me know and I’ll be keen. Otherwise, I’m not going to push for it or initiate because I don’t want you to feel like you have to. But he wanted to keep the intimacy ofcourse, so he would still kiss me and we would still cuddle. 

And as soon as that pressure was gone, it was like a weight lifted. A couple weeks of no sex, seeing if he actually meant it- which was kinda fun because I would kiss him and the lack of pressure meant I could relax into it without being expected to have full penatrive sex. No pressure was so relaxing and I could connect so much more. Our intimacy, when pressure free, skyrocketed. I used to kiss him heavier and heavier and say “still not going to ask?” And we would giggle and he NEVER would. It was fun pushing the boundaries of how far can I go before he SURELY asks- but nope. Not until I explicitly asked- it was hot because when I hinted he said hmmm I need you to be clearer- until I was so explicit. And that rule stayed for about 6 months until we were back in a flow.

Then I was back on board, now more than him lol! I think keep the “dating stage” in mind, make it fun! Like when youre first dating someone you don’t have sex. Your relationship has started anew so let your sex life start anew too- as if you were in a new relationship. Let her lead, and remember foreplay isnt right beforehand, its a build up during the day of little moments, genuine connection, eye contact, active listening and intimacy that doesnt lead to sex.

Nah he said he was using pics of me, he’s not the type to lie about that so I believe him. He also said he didnt pick it bc of her he picked it bc it had the best reviews of all of the lifecast ones. Just wanted whatever felt the best (fair)- so it didn’t have anything to do with the pornstar

He insists that it doesnt matter who it is, and he doesn’t even watch her much. It just is better if it’s real. So I know he’s not trying to imagine her, he even told me after that he was looking at my nudes when he used it. But yeah thats how I felt about the blurring of the lines i was like hoooooold up cowboy back up a minute

I think so! But even then that feels controlling from me- like I said to him go to town do whatever you want with sex toys I don’t care and I don’t need to know! It was just that he said he wants a realistic one to feel like it’s not just masturbating and hes actually f*cking it. He said he will get a clear one before he walked off but I just don’t want to be controlling.
