Hi All (Support Needed!)

Hi all,

Cucumber here.

Male, in 30s and very happily married.

I had a decent sex life with my wifey however I do desire more every now and then and when I try to instigate it, nothing much happens.

I can discuss in more detail when/if the thread expands.

When we first got together we had a wild time, and I know it’s common! She would want to have sex in public, bought sex toys, sent photos, but that has all gone and that side of her seems to have died down a bit.

We used to do anal and that has stopped. Though not all anal play thank god, just penatration.

Anyway, I’m just here as I don’t want to talk to friends about this, that’s not fair to my wife, so I wanted to build a bit of a support network and chat to people on similar situations, or even people in the opposite situation who can give tips.

Thanks,
Cucumber

Hi, I imagine every member on this group has gone through low patches in their sex life and it’s usually because something else has changed: jobs, health, home life etc. Can you think of something which might be causing your wife to be less active and adventurous in sex?

@Cucumbershanty - it can be difficult to assess- do you have children or a stressful job as this can take your mind away from sex

With anal - I would suggest trying to go back there as I’m a big fan of anal as well as my husband where we both enjoy anal penetration

Possibly buy a surprise gift for her - try backless body or open cup and enjoy

Thanks all.

I guess there has been one major thing (a child), however the less experimental side was fading long before that.

In regards to anal, I still use my finger during sex and rimming. Rimming is probably my favourite thing to do and she always is up for it, unless it’s a quicky or she doesn’t feel clean. Fair enough I’d say, and it still shows she has that adventurous side.

See my recent post in the Masturbation section call ‘Partner Fantasies’ for a bit more context.

I guess that main thing is, Im experimental, if she came to me with a kink she wanted to try I’d be there. Unfortunately I don’t feel she is the same.

We sat down about 4 months ago and discussed we’d like to get back on track with sex sessions, rather than just quickies. She bought some lingerie and some sex toys. Never worn the lingerie and I think we’ve tried the sex toys twice, and I had to suggest it.

Welcome along, the forum is a great place to ask and give advice with the bonus of being anonymous.

@Cucumbershanty welcome to the forum.

As others have said many relationships go through dips and rough patches, most do come out the other side.

A child is a pretty big thing and that may of hit your other half more than you know, so perhaps a discussion is warranted about how she feels in general and not just about sex and fantasies.

Thanks for the advice.

I guess that may paint me in a selfish light almost, however we do talk often. We are very open and check in on each other pretty much daily.

That said, I won’t take that for granted.

G’day, yes beside the normal ebb and flow in relationships dye to life. A child is a bit changer, especially for thr women. The other thing you haven’t said is how long you have been together?

Like everyone else said, there’s always ups and downs in life and that has an effect in everything.

It sounds obvious but for my relationship the emotional intimacy really needs to be there for my wife to be more receptive to physically intimacy.

With kids life can get in the way but to steal a line from Ted Lasso: “You gotta date your wife”.

Good luck man!
