sexual needs

I've been single for well over 10 years now with the odd situationship every other year or so. I've moved a lot and struggled greatly with my mental health over the years and never focused on dating m…

Considering leaving my long term partner due to mismatched libido. Am i crazy for throwing away a 20+ year relationship over this? — Context: My partner \[34F\] and I \[35M\] have been together for over 15 years, we met in highschool and have been through the ups and downs of life together. A couple of years ago i left my sedentary…

MY [26M] Girlfriend [26F] of 3 years cheated on me with one of my closest friends — Hey everyone. I was thinking whether i should write about what i experienced and I came to the conclusion that sorting out the story and putting it black on white as they say might help me overcome i…

Covert incest — I recently learned what Covert Incest or Emotional Incest is and I believe my mother made me a victim of it. My dad is 10 years younger than my mom. While she was going through menopause I was about…

Are you really happy with your husband? It doesn’t sound like a happy marriage for you to have to look outside the relationship to fulfill a really important need that would otherwise be easily met wi…

I don’t think a bunch of strangers on Reddit can make a pronouncement about whether you are “absolutely not cut out for casual relationships.“ In this specific case, I’d be more inclined to say that y…

You can emotionally recover from this. You have already. You don't want to leave. You forgave him. In a cheaters mind that means you're okay with it as long as he apologies, cries, swears his undying …

No, your preferences are your preferences. Sex is an important part of a relationship. You should talk to your partners so they know this is an important aspect of the relationship to you and a deal b…

Then you have your answer. They are a mismatch and you should move on to someone who meets your sexual needs.

Don't stay in this. He doesn't care about your sexual needs otherwise the sex would already be good.

I often wonder how behavior like this begins. Is it projection? Jealousy? Unmet sexual needs? Or some combination of the above?

Based on your responses, you don’t want to leave him because you have a child together, he knows you’re having to fake orgasms, he knows you’re not happy but always gets defensive. In all this, his be…

You think a "relationship" means combined households, finances and social calendars. And you have a laywer trying to get you out of the last one. Im 49f. A relationship to me? means attentiveness…

27 and a ‘maybe 19?’ Year old is one thing already but the way he used an old wound like that against you just to get his sexual needs prioritized over your mental needs was disgusted. He seems to …

"The most important thing you can do as a wife is to make yourself available to your husband. Be welcoming to his sexual needs all the time, you know sex actually helps with a headache." - My father, …

Nope! When you have a man’s body, you’re signing a contract to put your autonomy and your child secondary to his sexual needs.  Took my dumb ass until this thread to figure it out.  But thank God I …

A big difference between occasionally making an effort out of the ordinary, to change your style to fit someone's sexual needs. I'm sure you would draw the line somewhere too, you wouldn't go along wi…

I would have ran away. I love my kids, but I would say hell no to enduring the mental abuse, and death of my libido because of a depressed, angry man child, who hates the world, hates making friends…

Speaking as an outsider with no particular expertise, what struck me from your story was the incongruence between being disgusted by sex and missing it and feeling it is a deeply important part of the…

It sounds like your dad is -- artlessly -- telling you that a mutually-satsifying sex life is important in a relationship, that women have sexual desire in equal measure to men, and deserve to have th…

Some couples like yours take care of their sexual needs outside of marriage. But obviously with your wife’s knowledge and acceptance. Without her consent it’ll be cheating. But it’s definitely an op…

Going to preface this by saying that I am very much monogamous, and wouldn't usually recommend anything like this. I just want to share the story of an acquaintance, whose husband - like your wife - d…

Your BF has Premature Ejaculation. *Are your sexual needs being met in other ways?*

I was on Sertraline for the first part of my pregnancy and even now that I’ve come off of it (with a legitimate plan from my doctor, because I hated how it made me feel) I very rarely feel like having…

Do not just cold turkey stop the meds. Plz consult your doctor. And your husband is being a selfish a-hole to put his sexual needs above your mental health. That’s a problem.

Under NO circumstances should you stop taking your antidepressants without advice from your prescribing doctor. I also had PPD and my doctor was extremely clear with her advice that once I felt bett…

Your baby is only 7 months old, you are working full time and taking care of him full time. That alone is enough to be too tired and not havr libido. Also do not stop taking antidepressants cold turk…

My ex asked me to do the same thing. I ended up going off of them and my libido never came back. His behavior was so unattractive to me I didn’t realize I lost all sexual attraction to him while he wa…

So glad for you OP! <3 100% I was on disability for 3 years and was luckily able to access free psychotherapy due to SA. It changed the direction of my life. I could slow down my life, not keep compo…

Oh I see. 6 months is not a lot of time at all, especially for wanting to track you, want to move in, etc. Perhaps she wanted to date older to try and settle down, especially with the googly eyes of o…

That's the set up I have. We text daily, but we don't spend time together with clothes on. We're both busy people so it works for us. At first, it was hard to wrap my head around it. I wanted it to b…

Some people just aren't sexually compatible. Overall, this is going to continue to disappoint you and make you unhappy sexually. Are you really comfortable continuing a long-term relationship with som…

I mean…it sounds like sexually, you may not be compatible. Her sexual needs are directly opposite of your sexual needs. You have a right to yours just as much as she has a right to hers. But together,…

It’s BS that he wants sex with other women but he doesn’t want you to have sex with other men. He is being selfish and manipulative. I don’t know if you can even trust that he won’t go ahead and cheat…

Is this a joke? Are you debating telling someone you have a virus that can potentially impact them for the rest of their life? You are a terrible person for putting your own sexual needs above someo…

Obviously there are no apple-to-apple alternatives. Sorry. But hear me out. I totally relate with having an alive and kicking sex drive during and after my divorce process... just not for my ex. And…

Well first off you have to tell him, he’s not a mind reader. If he continues to do it after you inform him, it’s his problem. The fact that you haven’t mentioned it is your problem. But do know, we a…

Nope. You are not a fucking mind reader. She needs to learn how to properly communicate her needs, that includes sexual needs (aftercare included). She is young and hopefully will learn how to do so, …
