Wife’s sex drive races; hubby stuck in neutral
DEAR ABBY: I’ve been married almost four years. My husband and I are both barely 40, still quite young, but we have sex only once or twice a month. Our relationship is great, and we love each other. I just wish we had sex more often. I’ve told him I would like more, but it stays the same.
When we talked about past relationships, he mentioned women hounding him to have sex, so I don’t think it’s me. I don’t want to cheat, but I’m afraid I eventually will if my needs are not met. I don’t want to leave him, but I don’t want an almost sexless marriage.
He’s a very masculine man, so I don’t know how to ask him to go to the doctor to get something to increase his sex drive. Should I do that? Or should I get things to supplement our sex, like toys? — NEEDS MORE IN FLORIDA DEAR NEEDS MORE: You appear to have married a very masculine man who has a very low sex drive or who may be borderline asexual.
