Question

Help answer this question below.

My husband and I are young. We have been married 1 year and haven't had sex in 5 months. I feel like he doesn't desire me anymore. Advice?

I am 20, fit and pretty. My husband just can't get it up around me. The rest of our relationship is great, but he either rejects me or is disinterested in being intimate with me. I've told him I feel terrible about it, but we end up fighting and I feel like I can't bring it up anymore. All I get from him is an occasional nipple flick. I've tried being naughty, being sweet, etc. Nothing gets a reaction from him and I end up feeling foolish and undesirable. I don't understand why this is happening. Please advise if you have experienced something similar.

    how was your sex life before you got married ... has he always had a low sex drive ... maybe he's gay and struggling with his sexuality, and only married you because he's trying to be straight but can't be

    • We had sex a few times a week before we were married and in the first few months of marriage. He's wasn't ever a sex maniac, but he did initiate and want to have sex before. I can't think of any event that might have triggered his distance though.

      And no, he's not secretly gay.

    • just to be clear, I didn't mean that as an insult to either you or your husband ... I know a guy who secretly struggled with his sexuality when he was younger, and because of peer pressure, the stigma of being gay, and out of guilt and shame he dated girls when he was in high school and got married, simply because he thought that was the "right thing to do" ... but ultimately he accepted the reality, came out to his wife, divorced, and is now living a much happier life openly gay ... I'm not necessarily saying that's your husbands situation, but my friend has said that's a fairly typical senario, so I just wanted to throw that out there ... something is clearly wrong in your marriage, and it's affecting you negatively ... you said you: "end up feeling foolish and undesirable." ... you're turning his problem into a self-esteem issue, and that's not fair to you ... you shouldn't feel guilty or that this is your fault ... I urge you to get to the root of this problem, confront him, get counseling, do something, because otherwise your marriage is doomed ... if if is, get out now, rather than resigning yourself to a sexless marriage and suffering that frustration for years ... you're "20, fit and pretty" ... I'm sure there are plenty of other guys out there that would be interested
