SPALDING

I've been on here a while now.and made some good friends and met some fantastic people. I got in a relationship January 2015. My partner knows I'm still on here as I've been totally honest with her. The problem is I have a incredibly high sex drive, but she doesn't. In fact it's more like she never wants it. I'm not one to cheat but it's getting really difficult. I really love her but I need sex. We all do right? We have spoken about it but she just says I'm not in the mood. Plus we have a baby too so I'm not leaving her.

Ladies and gents I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Some women when pregnant and recently after giving birth find that their sex drive nosedives, I know mine certainly did after myy youngest was born it was a good nine months afterwards until I wanted sex. Hormones are a nightmare in women.

She is probably exhausted, having a baby is hard work, physically and mentally.

If you truly love her, don't cheat. You don't 'need' sex, you want it which is natural, but if you truly love her you will bear with it and not screw your relationship up.

Oh, but then my husband decided to cheat on me because he wanted sex, cue end of marriage

My advice talk to her again , try to find out the reasons why she doesn't want sex as much and talk it through properly

A world of my own

When you have a new baby you feel too tired. Vulnerable and usually at your least attractive. Sex isn't on your mind until you start to feel like you again.

I'd suggest you take the focus of you needing sex and doing things to make her feel better. Run her baths. Give a massage without her thinking it's because you want sex. Tell her how much you love her. How special it is to have a child together. Sooner or later her desires might return. It's not her problem. I don't think being on a sex site will be helping either.

Work on building up intimacy again . Not getting sex.

Talk to her. We don't know either of you to give you advice.

Swinging could provide a pressure release, especially if she's feeling bad about not wanting sex. Just after having a baby is probably not a great time to go elsewhere though.

Personally I think it's playing with fire and would be highly likely to end in unrecoverable relationship stress. Potentially also a trigger for post-natal depression.

But talk to her and listen to what she's saying. Good luck!

Has she always had a lower sex drive than yours or is it since she had your baby? Is she breast feeding? Is she getting enough sleep, feeling that her body isn't how it used to be, is sex entirely comfortable for her since giving birth? All these questions and more are what you should be asking her. Look out for signs of post natal depression too.

You and your feelings are important in the relationship too of course but when a baby comes in to a house sometimes a man has to temporarily take a bit of a back seat and it can be very difficult giving support and feeling that you're getting very little back. It helps enormously if both partners can understand that it isn't permanent.

My advice as always boils down to telling you to log off here and concentrate on talking things over and building closeness and communication with your partner. Good luck to all three of you.

Men need sex. Not in the same way women need sex but it's one of the basic needs of human kind. Managing the difference in couples is difficult but communication always always always a key. Make her know how you feel.

Firstly, just have a break on here,wank for now,help your girl friend baby sit and allow her sometime to recover.Give her some money to go outings with friends /family as she deserves to unwind a bit too.To be honest,if she conscents you to have fun here,deep down,shes not happy,but only allow you coz she loves and neva want to lose you.Sametime you got to try respect,avoid this privilege,endure and not long u both gona enjoy a good sex life.So now your priority is looking after her totally,make some home meals,if you can,put up hot tub for her wen u can and always offer drinks(soft/hot drinks)to keep her going.

In my opinion, the best chance you have of having sex with your missus is by making her feel sexy.

Reduce her "workload" by doing everything around the house, do as much baby stuff as you can, and always be the one who gets up in the night, or changes the nappy. If you do this, then you'll soon find that she's not so tired all the time.

The next step is to be romantic and loving, remind her of be reasons that she fell in love with you..... and more importantly, the reasons that you fell in love with her.

And finally. Don't kick her when she's down, the last thing that you need to do is to go shagging someone else even if she pretends that it's ok, it really isn't.

no matter

My advice would be help more in the home take the baby out and get wife to have some sleep.

Fill a nice bath after baby goes to sleep give her a back massage and foot rub. snuggle up with her and dont expect sex you can wank after all.

There are times in life when sex takes 2nd place. She will get her libido back eventually. Considering sex with others is a real betrayal. Just deal with it yourself and get back to being a loving father and husband.

All humans need sex. It's literally hardwired into us and the way our societies work. It's the same as saying you don't need a house, or a job, or meaning because you won't die without any of those.

I have actually gotten messages about this now, I just pity the ignorance.

However, at times in life, sex does and should take a back seat to other needs first. If a need for sex outweighs the need to care for and make your family the number one priority then that is the pity, not ignorance.

I'm not pestering her for sex either but if I don't try she will probably try once every two months. I'm not cheating as haven't met anyone on here since being with her she knows I'm here to talk with people I've met. I've even just took a 8k pay cut to spend more time at home.

But your opening message was all about your high sex drive and how you have to have it!

So now your here just to talk to people.!

Face the truth you're here to try and get the sex that your not getting at home, sympathy maybe!

OP you've only been with her for 15 months, so your baby can't be more than a few months old.

Does her lack of sex drive coincide with being, heavily pregnant and then a new mother by any chance?

The polarity of this argument confuses me.

It was this way with me therefore it must be this way with everyone.

More so the only thing I am advocating is transparency. If you are in a relationship and have high sex drive which coincides with needing sex (which also btw is different between the two sexes), you should probably let your partner know. Being in a couple means dealing with problems together.

As for the birds and the bees talk, I know asexual males and very sexual males, however in men after puberty you generally need sex and it only wanes when injured, sick, traumatised, when older, so on. Testosterone keeps us constantly on edge and it does ebb and flow during the month same as women however does not drop as drastically.

In women it's an entirely different mechanic due to variety of reasons, however the primary one being related to mentality since sex and orgasms are considerably more psychological elements.

In both however you do need sex, as lack of sex generally has negative hormonal effects, as we are herd animals and sex is a social activity.

Op wouldn't the fact you having sex with another woman make her feel even worse about herself. Most not all women do not feel great about themselves after having a baby their tired,emotional some suffer with post natal depression and don't feel sexy in themselves so wouldn't you seeking sex elsewhere add to her insecurity. I would suggest you talk to her about this and she may accept you have a higher sex drive then her and give you her blessing in releasing some of your pent up frustrations she may even be having anxiety about that knowing she can't satisfy you in that way but honesty is best policy and it sounds like you have a pretty honest relationship

While I was pregnant my sex drive was down the toilet (and I was scared to have it anyway because of miscarriage paranoia) so I gave J a very specific hall pass to play solo as long as he agreed to abide by the rules I laid down.

It worked for us.

Baby is almost 12 weeks and (as I assume I'm not breast feeding) my libido is back

If your missus is feeding the baby herself then her libido is hormonally repressed and she's no doubt exhausted too.

"When you have a new baby you feel too tired. Vulnerable and usually at your least attractive. Sex isn't on your mind until you start to feel like you again.

Work on building up intimacy again . Not getting sex. "

Simply put but really good advice.

Can't stress enough how much a baby takes over your life and becomes the priority, which can leave you feeling really tired and you might even lose a part of yourself in the process. All of a sudden you've gone from being you to being mum with all the responsibilities of that.

Make sure you help out too, not just with the baby but with housework, bottle prep, anything where she can get enough rest and time to be herself again. And to help make her appreciate you.

If you're busy looking for a fuck while she's tired and doing everything then you'll probably split up.

"Thanks for your help and advice. We sat down last night and she said it's been like it since she has had our child. "

To be fair, you dated for what, three months before she got pregnant?

The first few months of any relationship you have what's known as New Relationship Energy. It's that bit where you can't wait to see each other and you fuck like rabbits the whole time. You've been seeing each other now for just over a year - aside from the fact that she's been pregnant for over half your relationship and is now nursing a young child so is likely to be totally fucking knackered - you've also not got NRE anymore.

It's utterly normal to calm down and have less sex after six months or a year. You get used to each other, you become more comfortable around each other, and you know - sometimes life just gets in the way.

I have a vastly different sex drive to any of my partners - it's one of the reason I don't do monogamy. I would happily have sex three times a day without fail, but none of my partners are like that at all. I'd urge you to discuss non-monogamy with your partner. It utterly changed my world and made it so that I didn't have to creep around on sex sites and have affairs behind my partners back.

And sometimes, and I am not insinuating this is every man or woman, but a partner only shows intimacy and a desire to cuddle and just kiss, when he or she wants sex.

I speak from experience when I say that when I was not in the mood for sex, especially after I had my child, I would shy away from intimacy with my ex because I knew it meant he only wanted sex.

"Thanks for your help and advice. We sat down last night and she said it's been like it since she has had our child. "

That's a great start. I hope you can both move forward from that.

Long term relationships can be hard work sometimes but when it works its worth the effort.

Best of luck to all three of you.

Hope it all works out well just be patient. She may even be really concerned about getting pregnant again.

I am sure she will be back to normal soon enough

"In my opinion, the best chance you have of having sex with your missus is by making her feel sexy.

The next step is to be romantic and loving, remind her of be reasons that she fell in love with you..... and more importantly, the reasons that you fell in love with her.

And finally. Don't kick her when she's down, the last thing that you need to do is to go shagging someone else even if she pretends that it's ok, it really isn't.

...Up on the Downs

Kris.

I often think it isn't the actual sex but the affection and intimacy that people crave.

And sometimes, and I am not insinuating this is every man or woman, but a partner only shows intimacy and a desire to cuddle and just kiss, when he or she wants sex.

I speak from experience when I say that when I was not in the mood for sex, especially after I had my child, I would shy away from intimacy with my ex because I knew it meant he only wanted sex.

Yes, that it be such a turnoff to be reduced to that in a relationship. And the other side of the coin is that sometimes nothing makes a woman desire a man more than freely offered kisses, cuddles and intimacy.

Never, ever stop kissing, cuddling and showing affection to your partner *especially* if one or the other does not want sex. It is an investment which will keep the relationship healthy for better times! !

Did you find out why though? You need to find out then sort out whatever it is making her feel that way.

For me it was coz i was doing everything and i didn't want to risk pregnancy again because i'd have even less sleep, and be doing more. I told me ex this and he did nothing about it. Hence why he's the ex.

"Men need sex. Not in the same way women need sex... "
How would you know this is true? You would have to have lived as both genders to know.

Anyway, should you ever venture to a club in the North West please do let me know! You've got your head screwed on right.

Take it from someone that fucked up and nearly lost everything, don't cheat. I know how your feeling, dirk works away 5 days a week and I have an extremely high sex drive. The temptation is always there but really it's not worth it.

As a woman and a mother I can see it from your mrs's point of view also. She needs to be made to feel like a princess.

In the mean time do what I do constant porn and wanking lol
