I feel like calling it 'depriving' them of sex is a disservice. Sex in a relationship is not everything and if it's important enough to consider cheating over then something is wrong with the person considering cheating.
While most people enjoy sex there are plenty of reasons someone might not. Past trauma/PTSD, for example. And for many women I know, myself included, knowing that there really isn't a reliable form of birth control that doesn't rely on the man that they can get without going through invasive procedures, often that they cannot afford. Condoms are cheap sure, but if the man doesn't know how to use it properly or in the event it breaks there's backups but they aren't the greatest option. For women like me who don't want to be pregnant or have kids and can't afford birth control due to it being more and more inaccessible with each passing year general abstinence from sex with masturbation to satisfy needs is something that's growing.
If my partner and I were not having sex I would be totally find with that and maybe masturbate on occasion after making it known I wanted to be satisfied in that way and having them continue to say no. In fact I'd be fine if we *never* had sex, because there are other ways to connect with someone and spend time together in a meaningful relationship.
You are really sharing your private life.
Probably for me since I am not a sex therapist my response is, TMI.
You know the old saying, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
The one I like best is, "Can't live with them, can't live without them."
Honestly? I've just stopped caring. If people were more open about this kind of stuff these kinds of questions wouldn't get asked. Sex shouldn't be such a taboo subject shrug
But yes, I agree. I see a lot of people with divorced parents where the man remarries or has a steady girlfriend almost right away but the mom takes a while or never goes there, same when one spouse dies. Probably part of the reason I feel that way, but also partially because I just don't view sex as something that's necessary in any way, shape or form and that seems to be all men are interested in so I have no reason to associate with them once that becomes the case.
I don't know your age. I am 63 so we come from different generations. I think you are smart to think out these things. Sex is a mutual agreement married or not.
I don't think sex is a taboo subject. I can't look at any media without sex involved. It is a natural occurrence. Sex and love are 2 different things and men are always interested in sex.
They never get a break from thinking about it ... it is everywhere. When you meet the right guy let him know how you feel. Friends first is important.
Well I have to go now. :)
Only 28, soon to be 29 so there's quite a generational gap indeed. But while the idea of sex isn't taboo and it's everywhere the actual act of sex and talking about it in depth than just the broad idea seems to be. It's seen as something for adults only, anything involving sexual acts is labeled as R/18+ material. Even the idea of nudity is seen as inherently sexual so it's just kind of a thing I'm sick of, you know?
I'm also what is referred to as asexual these days; I view sex as 'meh' and I'd rather do something else to bond with my potential beloved like go out together or play video games or just hang out and be friends alongside the relationship.
It sounds like a fun way to be. I was 28 when I met my husband. We are still best friends and very much in love with each other. I have to admit when we met we were extremely passionate about each other. It was mutual.
Just have fun maybe.
When you say
I am not sure where you are going with that.
Nudity all depends on where and when as far as what is going on. I don't know where you live but in warmer months people are almost nude. LOL
Actually wearing clothes would be nice for some of them as I worked at the hospital and really prefer some of them to cover up. lol
What if you could have fun and relax? If you are truly the age you say this is a fun time in your life.
