For Men... "When A Woman Withholds Sex....."

                                        



When you're not getting what you want from someone it's easy to fall into the speculation trap of wondering "why".

After you have been rejected or put off sexually by your mate a few times and have asked her why without getting an open and honest reason the two of you can talk through.....etc.
You have to decide if having no sex in a "monogamous" relationship is a "deal breaker".

1. If it is, Get the hell out! (Life is short)
2. It it's not, then learn to do without.
(Avoid frustration and resentment which comes with begging,hoping, and praying you'll "get lucky")

You cannot control another person.
She is going to do whatever she wants to do.
The only person responsible for your happiness is you!

When you're in a relationship you have the right to ask for what you need.
Assuming there is not a medical reason of some kind, If the person you are with does not give you what you ask for there are only two reasons.

1. She does not have it to give.
2. She does not feel you are worth the effort to give it to.

You don't demand or negotiate love and affection. They are given freely.
You don't manufacture chemistry. It's either there or it's not.

The following advice comes from a man who has lived with half a dozen women and has been married twice.

1.The best way to avoid getting caught up with a woman that uses sex
as a power play is to find one that has a high sex drive!

By that I mean the kind of woman who will break out the vibrator if she has not gotten any in 3 days.
Any woman that does not have a high sex drive or at least wants it as much as you do is a ticking time bomb.

If her attitude is she can take it or leave it when it comes to sex then the odds are it's just a matter of time when she will cut you off for one reason or another. Sex to her is equivalent to nothing more than a wifely duty, a bargaining chip to reward or punish you with as she sees fit.

2. Do not live with a woman whom you have not dated for at least 18 months.

It takes about this long to find out how high a person's sex drive really is. The first 6-12 months it's easy for someone to get their freak on and come across as wildly passionate because the relationship is new and she feels you are "special" and worth impressing but after a year or so a woman returns to her natural drive. One of the first things to go will be oral sex.

Another reason to avoid living with a woman for as long as possible is the two of you will have sex more often than not when you pack an overnight bag and spend the night over each other's house.

There is something about "making the most of your time together" knowing you will not see each other again for a few days that keeps things fresh.

One of the best sexual relationships I was ever in was with a girl I saw on Tuesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and I departed for work on Mondays.
We usually had sex at least 5 times a week during that period.
This went on for the full 4 years we dated!

Ask any man you know that has lived with his girlfriend or has been married for 4 years how many times he is having sex and my guess is it won't be 5 times a week!

When you don't live with a woman and she decides not to have sex with
you then you can make an excuse to leave.
It's up to you whether you go hang out with your friends, go to a club, hook up with an ex (better to break up than cheat), or simply go back to your own place.
Either way you don't feel trapped.

Chances are after she rejects you and see you are heading out the door she will either melt or at least tell you what is really bothering her.
When you have "options" it's rare that a woman will use withholding sex as a power play.

When your names are on the lease or mortgage together that's when the trap is set.
Nothing is worse than sleeping next to a beautiful woman night after night and not being able to make love to her. In many ways hell on earth.

The easy thing to do is to go out and cheat.
The courageous thing to do is end the relationship and seek a woman that is so into you that she won't play emotional or sex withholding games with you.
 
A monogamous relationship without sex is just a friendship.
A marriage without sex is nothing more than being roommates with the same last name.

As I stated earlier you cannot control another person.
The only person you can control is you.

If what you have is not making you happy then it's time to let it go.
There are almost 7 Billion people on this planet.
Odds are there are more than a few women that want what you want.

Don't get me wrong there is much more to having a great relationship than sex but if you are with someone that will not communicate with you about things that are bothering them or they use the  withdrawal of affection and sex as weapons of battle instead of putting everything on the table to the clear the air....etc. Face the fact that this person is not "in love" with you!

When you get right down to it not having sex isn't the problem.
The real problem is being committed to someone who refuses to communicate with you.

As Dr. Phil is fond of saying, "You Can't Fix What You Don't Acknowledge!"
Life is too short to play games!

One man's opinion!

    I totally agree with you on this opinion. I was with woman almost three years who decided that sex was a way to use me for what she wanted. Now I've found a woman who wants what I want and doesn't use simple affection to meet her means.

    Great article! wish I would have read it 15 years ago. I spent the last 15 years with a beautiful "friend" that shared my bed and last name but was cold as ice and very controlling with affection and sex. Wish i would have had the guts to end it a long time ago and stop the games then. Thankfully we are now divorced and i will not accept that from another relationship

    I want to ask, what brings love? 2} why do we have sex? 3} why do some one give himself or herself for sex? now to the point. if a man want to have sex with a woman before giving her something, than the man don't love the woman and if the woman want to get something before having sex with the man she doesn't love the man. sex is all about love and love is all about sex. The first thing which comes to the man's mind is mind sex before telling the woman I love you. I have more to say. Thank's Asmah

    WOW you speak so fierce and strong here as if you are trying to convience yourself as well as your gf I say your trying to convience yourself because as you mentioned the 'door' it always leads back to her only her breaking it off for good....I simply say this because if she is 'nagging' checking up on you etc..why do you keep going back if it has been going on for 2 months or more or are you the type that 'hooks' up with the ex then DASHINGLY waltzs back saying all the bs about caring,loving, understanding...I need to add a 3rd reason to your list maybe she doesnt want sex with you anymore because you really dont satisfy her could she have been hoping in the beginning you would get better and faked a few ?? or as far as 'medical condition'there are other forms of sexual pleasure but, if either one of you are not fully satisfied with that option but,truely love each other enough to realize sex is the only problem you could bring someone in to fill that need but, that need only both have to agree to the right person and do not discuss details of what went on...NOW I honestly dont know if I could do that one but, I have friends and friends online that came to realize 'sex' was the only problem in their marriage or relationship also before the women start going off on me its not just men I know women also and some couple prefer the spouse participate and some do the what happened stays there. As I stated I dont know how they except it because I would have to confront someone who cheated on me then get the hell out.

    I didnt proofread so I forgot to comment on the 'one of the best sexual relationship' if it was so good why arent you still with her?? The only good thing I do hear is no mention of children and that you are not married so if you arent happy and have tried everything possible step up and end the relationship before things get worse for both of you and dont keep going back thinking you will get lucky .....

    I am a woman and I tend to agree (as it's rather obvious and no new groundbreaking news) that most couples have more sex when they do not live together. I would like to add that maybe this is just another reason for young people to wait to get married. Sex is always going to be an important ingredient in any long term relationship, but the other side of the coin is as you grow older, it doesn't remain the front runner of importance. I should know, I'm 44 and feel my sex drive is high for a woman my age (I've never had kids), but not as high as it was when I was younger. My husband is 58 and obviously his drive is not where it was either. I know my husband knew that when he married me he would never have to worry about not getting oral sex (as mentioned becomes a problem in the article) or sex in general because of my strong desire for it, but at the same time, I share his need that companionship and being loving in a non-sexual way every day is more important and at the end of the day it all boils down to quality over quantity.

    Wow Lisa! Thanks for your response!

    It sounds like I pushed a few of your buttons!

    My blog is in response to a question that was asked and not something that I am personally going through. Like a lot of people I have had several long term relationships and I am sharing some of my experinces on the subjet. As for my 4 year relationship apparently in your haste to comment you did not read the last part of my blog where I stated "Don't Get Me Wrong There Is Much More To Having A Great Relationship Than Sex..." It takes courage to leave a bad relationship and start over. This is one reason so many people cheat, stay in abusive or unhappy relationships. (Not communicating) is the real problem. The witholding of sexual intimacy from someone who has committed themselves to live a monogamus lifestyle with you deserves a honest explanation. In a long term relationship or marriage sex is not simply a physical release. It really is about becoming ONE with the one you love.

    I'm not sure I understand your comment about " she is nagging..." This blog was speaking about MEN doing the begging or "nagging" for sex.

    Each of must deal with hurt in our own way but the truth is you cannot control the actions of another being. You can only control yourself and your reactions. Life is about learning from our experiences. Taking responsibility for "our choices" (including friends, lovers, and spouces) is the first step towards maturity. The second step is making better choices based upon what we have learned from our experiences and about ourselves. Life is a journey. Lisa, I wish you nothing but the best this world has to offer.

    One last thing Lisa. I don't have a girlfriend. I'm happily married.

    Blogs are about sharing opinions regarding various subjects. You would do well not to internalize them. It's fine to disagree or an attack someone's opinion. There is nothing wrong with a healthy argument but when you lash out at the person and not "the opinion" it's a sign that you are too close to the topic. The underlying basis of all my blogs concerns dropping "the blame game" and taking responsibility for our own choices, decisions, and actions. Ultimately YOU are responsible for your own happiness. Hopefully the older we become the better we will become at making decisions that truly enhance our lives in a positive manner.
