APN, great post. I feel like I need a cold shower about now! :) That night is the stuff memories are made of.
APN and especially Base, I’ve experienced beyond what you guys have. The first ten years of my marriage were steamier than any Penthouse Forum could ever dream of. Sex on a fire tower 60 feet off the ground, sex on a rock overlooking Interstate 80 between Wendover, NV and Salt Lake City, UT, sex on a motorcycle, sex in haylofts, sex in a sleeping bag beneath a falls in a fjord in Northern Norway above the Artic Circle on a three week motorcycle tour. But the second ten years went considerably downhill. And this drove me crazy. At that time, I was pretty much out of shape and I made myself a promise to get into the best shape I could possibly get in. I thought this might be the problem. I was out of shape (not her) and we both were taking each other for granted. So started a whole new life of watching what I ate, doing free weights and running. And a good dose of PE. Over the next year I made a pretty amazing conversion. From 270 down to 200, packed on a lot of muscle and PE gave me some good gains. And throughout that conversion, my wife was right along side me doing the weights, cardio and laughing at my PE. The compliments improved but the sex wasn’t any better. Then I started obsessing trying to find out why her libido was so low. Everything else in the relationship was great. She didn’t have any trama in her childhood that might have caused it and her libido was the same in good times and in bad, tired or rested. It wasn’t our two wonderful kids either. So after reading about potential physical problems, I sat her down and we made an agreement to go to our respective doctors and get a full checkup. And whatever the outcome was, we made the agreement to follow it to the end. And she was sure my doctor was going to find that I had too much testosterone, but I knew better. Her doctor found that her testosterone levels were extremely low, almost zero. So to make a long story short, she got the shot and several weeks later she’s calling me from work saying she’s horny as hell and can’t wait for us to get home. A complete turnaround. We went from having sex maybe once or twice a month (basically charity fucks) to five times a week.
But even though the sex is great, there are still a few things that need fixing. I give her a lot of attention, affection and a little sexual grab-ass but I don’t get any in return. It shouldn’t be all one way. Don’t get me wrong, she’s very receptive now, I reach out and she’s there. But I’m hoping for a maybe 75-25 or 60-40 split rather than a 100-0 split. But from what I’m reading, this doesn’t have anything to do with anything medical. It is something that has to be learned. And it can have a lot to do with how she was raised. So we are working on it and making progress.
So I’m soaking up all I can on this right now. If I can get this fixed, I will feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven. Everything else is just wonderful. She’s a beautiful, caring and intelligent person and is a tiger in bed. I’ve just got to get her into the habit of reaching out to me.
And there is a great website on these kind of issues. The information there can make a good relationship absolutely great. We are all obviously interested in addressing our physical needs (PE, working out) and this site can help you address any emotional needs between the two of you as well. It’s worth a look and a bookmark. It’s called "The Marriage Builders" and the link to "How To Meet Emotional Needs" is http://www.marr iagebuilders.co … mbi5520_qa.html .
Take a look and the best of luck going forward with your efforts.
