Q: why does my husband hav

my husband has a low sex drive (once a month normally) for me, yet he masturbates a few times a week. why does he have such a low drive for me? he says he doesn't feel like performing. if he doesn't say that he says he can't because of all the stress he is having run thru his mind and won't be able to get it up because of that. he  has had a number of affairs in the past but says he would never want to lose me i am the best lover he has ever had. he hasn't had any more affairs for about 4 yrs yet we still have not had any increase in our love life either.when we do have sex i have had to ask him to be able to have the go ahead  about 10 to12 times (he has me ask rather than just start to cuddle or fondle). i always have to be the iniater, he will not iniate ever in 19 yrs he never has. i have tried to mix up the way i approach him and have tried videos, teddies, messages,lighting, even going to the boonies and going for it in the car or in the mountains, hotel rooms, none of these get any better reponse! he will not talk about sex with me. he has even went to see a uroligist, but would not tell them about his low sex drive; so they tested  his prostate and looked at his penis and said he's fine. he does have a very low sperm count with abnormalities and low sperm ejaculation amounts for fluid. is there anything that can be done ?

My initial reaction is that based on what you have shared - very bravely and candidly, I might add- your husband would have benefitted from sharing this with his doctor - who might have suggested a testosterone level and treatment if it was low.  if your husband had a number of affairs in the past - and is staying monogamous with you - I wonder if he is somehow struggling with this decision and therefore withholding sex or even punishing you in some strange way.  I do think marriage counseling/therapy could help both of you to communicate issues with eachother because having that therapist in the room allows even painful comments and thoughts to get shared safely with a "mediator/translator" of sorts and you will be given "homework" that may help you both forge a better relationship in and out of bed.  give it some thought and if he won't go - you might consider going on your own.

what you should do is....

Try to turn him on. Crawl up by his legs and spread them. run your hand up and down through his sack and ask him if he wands to fuck you. talk dirty to him saw take me in and stuff like that. say fuck me and saw that its his pussy.

 

 let me know how it works. :)
