    My husband has low sex drive

    Hello, my husband and I have been married for 6 years. He currently works out of town for 2 weeks and comes home for 1. During the week he is home, we have sex the first night and the rest of the week i have to beg for it and even begging doesnt work. He watches porn when he is away and masturbates. So it is very hard not to think he may be addicted. What else can it be?

    Have you talked to him about it? Asked why he is not interested in sex? Porn is just one of many things that could be contributing to this. May or may not have anything to do with it. Was it always like this? If not, when did it start?

      Well Clevergirl, I am going out on a limb here and say he's maybe getting some on the side while gone on his business trip .So the one night with you he thinking that's not make you think he's fooling around. i don't believe for a second watching to much porn and masturbating is the reason for him not interested in you at all. Just come out and ask him what the blank is up you throwing yourself onto him and pushing you away so there must be something up with him so point ask him is he cheating while gone on his business trips. If it takes him a while to answer that question or ask you where did this question comes from then you know he is then. That question should be a split second answer No but some have to think of a lie so they try and make up a story because this sounds just like cheating on his part. Why I say all this that 4 friends of mine who are females had this same thing happen to them and it was found out there husband was cheating one of my friends got a STD'S from her husband so ask him then go get test right away if you find out he is cheating.Good luck Clevergirl I hope I'm wrong.
      When out driving always turn left. Then, should you become lost, you can find your way home by reversing the procedure and always turning right.

        When i ask he says he's tired. He has no always been like this, it may have started when he began working away. We never used to do it everyday but usually 3 to 4 times a week when he worked in town.

          I agree with SP that it can be an issue, but you also have to consider what motorguy said (that he might be cheating). It is also possible that he is using the masterbation thing as a way to excuse himself from sex with you when he is actually having sex with someone else.

          If it is in any way an encouraging thought, I'd masturbate instead of cheat on my GF when I'm away. The only thing is that we would "do it" more than once when I come back.

          Hope it all works out.

            Clevergirl: Under the presumption that he's been faithful to you, let's go with the following formula. 1) No more porn for now. While he's out of town, the two of you will have phone sex at least twice a week (skip a couple of days before he is expected home). Make sure you are also masturbating while he is stroking himself to your sexy voice and deep breathing. Spice it up a bit and tell him you want him to cum on your face (or breasts, or vulva, whatever he likes). 2) When he comes home you should of course enjoy a warm homecumming. But maybe let him have a one day rest afterward. 3) On the 3rd day treat him to some wake-up sex (of course this means you'll have to wake up a little before him). Wake-up sex is very difficult for a man to resist as his mind is clear and he likely already has an erection. No begging needed here. After this take another day of rest. 4) On day five offer up some mutual masturbation. Sit back and watch each other as you each pleasure yourself. If you're ok with it, let him cum on you (tummy, breasts, wherever). Believe it or not, this builds up intimacy and connection for him. 5) Day six and seven - his choice: sex or rest, or both. If for some reason this formula doesn't work let me know.
