Giving up sex?

I think they both like different hardness of mattresses as well. But as far as I know they still have a sex life. Meglet makes a good point. When you are getting it you want more. When you are not you get used to getting less. Been through both phases with my wife - although the not getting it was due to ill health and sometimes depression rather than not wanting to shag me.

Caterpillar Feb 2013 9:48pm, 27 Feb 2013 7,519 posts	0 Caterpillar So we are agreed - if you don't get much you want less. The more you get the more you want. Is that the same for men and women? Certainly true for men.
Caterpillar Feb 2013 9:49pm, 27 Feb 2013 7,520 posts	0 Caterpillar Actually it can't be right. In a faithful relationship both parties are getting the same amount. So they should both want less or more together.

Caterpillar Feb 2013 10:10pm, 27 Feb 2013 7,524 posts	0 Caterpillar Ha ha! Excellent. Well done ted. So - you are (mostly) happily married. After a few years you have some offsprings. The Mrs doesn't really feel much in the mood when she's covered in baby vomit, sleep-deprived, and feels like she looks like she has been dragged through a hedge backwards. You have been demoted from the most important person in her life to an accessory that changes light bulbs and fixes the car insurance. You accept this, in the vain hope that it is temporary. Women multi-task all the time. Surprisingly, tonight the kids are asleep. There is peace in the house for the first time in bloody years. You decide to seize the moment and ... have an early night. Nudge-nudge. Just as you are both getting warmed up there is a squeak from the nursery. The End. Instantly.
