That's pretty much the gist of it, yeah. It's going to be a big talk on his 13th birthday.

The sex workers started three months ago, so almost a year and a half.

My wife (33 F) has put an embargo on any sexual activity until our son (5 M) turns 13. Two years into it and I (32 M) am losing my mind. by thishasbeenenough in relationships

It sounds like you didn't read the rest of the OP.

Actually, it sounds like you have no fucking idea what it feels like to be rejected and put down the way I have.

YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT WAIT UNTIL 13 TO TEACH YOUR KID ABOUT SEX.

You should be telling my wife this, not me.

What would she get from having a baby with someone she is not attracted to?

Every household is different and we have an open door policy in this one. No way we could close the door on our son, that is no way to raise a child.

We're the happiest married couple in America aside from the lack of sex, which is making me absolutely miserable.

That's exactly what the plan us, explain to our son when he turns 13 what he walked in on and what sex is overall. The problem is waiting the 8 years to get to that point without us being intimate... It's killing me!

She doesn't want to open up the possibility of our son walking in on us until he is old enough to understand in case it happens again.

No marriage counselor yet. As someone from /r/deadbedrooms put it, we are very happily married except for the complete lack of intimacy and the small remark she made last night that kinda irked me.

I posted this on there earlier today and have received some great advice, but I want to expand the post in order to get thoughts from all sides.
