Q&A: My Husband Kept Track Of Me Rejecting Sex

spreadsheetI will try to make this as short as possible.  I have already posted this other places but I also wanted to get opinions from certain blogs I read every now and then. The consensus elsewhere was very mixed, although a lot of people sided with my husband actions.

Anyway, I left for a 10 day business trip and received an email from my husband while I was waiting in the airport.  The email was very negative and accused me of checking out of our marriage due to the fact I had turned down sex or rejected sex with him several times.  After reading the email, I felt I was blamed for a lot of our problems and I guess sex was the biggest issue.  I have tried to call my husband and he will not answer his phone.  In his email, he included a spread sheet which I have attached to this email. The spreadsheet supposedly shows all the days and reasons I turned him down.  I do not remember most of these days but, I do know that I keep the house clean and make dinner for him most nights.  I also work full time and go the gym frequently because lately my self image has dropped drastically.   I don’t see any spreadsheets regarding when I did housework or made him dinner, so I guess that isn’t as important to him?

According to his ‘document’, we’ve only had sex 3 times in the last 7 weeks, out of 27 “attempts” on his part.

I admit, our sex life has tapered in the last few months, but isn’t that allowed? We are adults leading busy, stressful lives. I cook for him, I do his laundry, I keep our house clean and tidy. It’s not like our sex life was going to be this way forever, it was a temporary slow-down due to extenuating circumstances.

My weekday routine has been shower, go to work, get off at 4pm, go home and cook dinner, go to the gym, watch some TV, sleep. He’s never up to have sex in the morning, and I never want to have sex after being all sweaty and gross from the gym.

Am I wrong here or is my husband acting childish?

Venice’s response:

Is he acting childish? I don’t think so. It’s pretty sad that he has to resort to a spreadsheet to remind you that you aren’t giving him sex or intimacy. He has to arm himself with documentation to show you that you’re being a crappy wife, which is pretty pathetic on your part. He has anticipated you responding to his complaints with, “I do give you sex.  It’s not that bad, we have sex a few times a week.  Prove that I don’t.” Good for him, bad for you. Your sex life “taper[ing] in the last few months” is downright ridiculous and absolutely should not be acceptable. We all lead busy lives – work, family, chores, not to mention the unexpected events you can’t plan for. But that’s life and it will never get easier. You have to adapt and not allow your marriage to suffer because you’re tired from LIFE.

As a working mother, I understand how difficult it can be to balance family priorities, work priorities, and wife priorities. However, believe it or not, the easiest of the three is probably wife priorities. I’ve learned to rearrange my day based on the time I need to start my husband’s day off right. And if it means waking up 15 minutes early, missing a TV show, making a meal that requires little prep time, or all of the above, then I am more than happy to do it. The little things that take up your time add up, so I take that time back. Trust me – it can be done. The first thing I did was to whittle down watching TV to about 1-2 hours a week. TV does nothing for me and unless we’re watching something together, it’s a waste of time, for me at least. Learn to prioritize and figure out what things matter the most in your life, what makes the biggest impact on your marriage and decide on how you can change these things to strengthen your relationship and marriage.

I found that if my man is happy in bed, things just fall into place. I, myself, am more happy when I know I’ve satisfied my man. I know that he isn’t sexually frustrated, therefore he’s in a better mood. He tends to give me more affection, be more patient, and be extra loving.  And most of all, he is more proactive in ensuring the little things I care about also get done.  I take care of his needs, he takes care of mine.

Ryan’s response:

So wait, you went 27 days without sex, even knowing you were leaving on a 10 day business trip?  I mean, I understand you are trying to paint the picture that he is childish and overreacting…but 27 days?   Seriously?  You expect him to be happy not being intimate with his wife after 27 days, knowing you are leaving for 10 more days and still ignoring his needs?   That would be 37 days totally sexless for your husband.   Do you honestly feel that is justifiable?   How do you forget that you are leaving on a business trip and not take care of your husband’s needs before you leave?

I’d rather have a dirty house and eat Top Ramen every night for 37 days than go sexless.  I’d rather eat a shit sandwich and wake up in a pile of dirty laundry than be ignored by my wife for 37 days.  Is missing your television show really more important than missing your marriage?

You should be the one doing the Q&A, because I have so many questions for you.

I’m noticing reading the spreadsheet that you used the excuse, “I feel gross and sweaty” multiple times.  Not only that, you refuse to take a shower after going to the gym so you remain “gross and sweaty” throughout the night?  So many shades of wrong there. First of all, shower when you get home from the gym.  If that means you have to add an extra shower in your schedule, do that.  Not that showering habits are something we help people with, but in your case, your showering habits are possibly hurting your relationship.  It’s also very possible you may not enjoy sex at night because after sex, you have to wash off (or yes, even shower).  Apparently you only want to shower in the morning?  I would be extremely disgusted if Venice came back from the gym and just slept in our bed.  Not just sweat, dirt, and body odor, but also, staph, sweat, and germs from a 100 other people that used the gym equipment that night.  Absolutely disgusting.

If Venice was to say to me she feels dirty and gross when I suggest sex to her, I’d just respond, “Let’s take a shower together then.”  Not in a mean demanding way, but this is just common sense to me.  However, usually after a workout, I can’t keep Venice off of me.  She is playful when she is sweaty and actually enjoys staying sweaty and killing two birds with one stone.

Time management.

In your defense, it is possible your husband didn’t really want to try hard to get sex because he knew he was keeping track of all your silly excuses for 7 weeks.   The spreadsheet wouldn’t mean much if he actually pushed the issue and ended up getting sex more than 3 times.  So maybe the spreadsheet is a little over the top, but it worked.   I don’t see how anyone can read that spreadsheet and not see there is a problem with your relationship.

I’ve preached about intimacy in the past.  A healthy couple should practice intimacy each day.  And before this reply gets side swiped by someone suggesting, “Well, sex isn’t the only form of  intimacy!”  That’s correct, but it’s the form I need each day to feel close to my soul mate. If you have another form of intimacy you would like to practice each day, then stack that on top of having sex each day so both people in the relationship get the intimacy they need daily. Because there are different forms of intimacy doesn’t mean one is replaceable. Sex is how two people bond physically and mentally.  Sex is how a marriage becomes a unit, a single person.  Even if just for a brief period, you both have the same goal.  No matter what is going on in your life, you are both operating and functioning together as one.  This is why intimacy is so important.  You exercise each day for a healthy heart, you have sex and intimacy each day for a healthy marriage.

Him not answering the phone is nothing more than showing you how serious this issue is.  If you have not been answering your biological phone for his intimacy needs for 27 days, don’t get upset when he doesn’t answer the phone for a few hours because of your need to talk to him.  He is busy.  Maybe he is doing the laundry or making himself dinner?  Maybe he is feeling gross because he is laying around after spending time in the gym?  I mean, he may call you back in the morning but he probably doesn’t want to be woke up.  No big deal, don’t overreact or act childish about it.  If he doesn’t call you back in 7 weeks, email us back.

Q&A: I’m No Longer Attracted To Overweight Husband

overweight husbandI am really nervous about sharing this, but here it goes.

We have been married just about 5 years now, together for about 9, both 32 years old. He was always a big guy..he was about 250 when I met him but it was his charm, his wit, and his easy-going fun-loving nature that drew me to him. Whenever we were intimate I seem to recall that I really did enjoy it. His penis was/is the smallest I had ever seen. It is maybe about 4 inches when erect. We mainly did it in the doggystyle position and it was fine I guess because I had strong feelings for him then.

Well fast forward to more recent times.. He has gained about 150 lb which puts him at nearly 400 lb (he is 5’11). I am only 5’2 at about 145 lb. Also, because of him slacking in the head of household dept and lying, and a host of other things, we separate for half of last year. During that time we both entertained other individuals. I was intimate with the person I was seeing. We are however, back living together now and have been for this year. 

Here is the problem: I find sex and the thought of sex with my overweight husband gross.

1-He is overweight at almost 400 lb so rolls of fat are all over the place. I am not keen on having missionary (him on top) or cowgirl (me on top) because several years ago, we were just sitting on the bed, and the bed broke. This means that we have wound up having doggystyle sex which does NOT work because….

2-His already small 4-inch penis is further hidden by the added belly and pubic area fat. He so called puts it in, but it’s like nothing is in there. The worst part is that the guy that I was intimate with was very well endowed. I have not idea why people say the thing about black men because it is the COMPLETE opposite for my husband.

I just don’t know how to find a solution to this. I have tried faking enthusiasm for sex, but I realize that I am just short-changing myself because I have a pretty high sex drive. I don’t get any satisfaction from sex with him whatsoever.

I know the standard reply is that I knew he was a big guy when I met/married him, so I shouldn’t say anything now. But truthfully I married him and ignored a lot of things simply because I just wanted to get married. Yes I loved him and we had/have lots of fun together, but fun doesn’t come in handy when I need someone to share certain grownup responsibilities. I’m one of the statistics: got married to him for the absolutely worst reasons. So now that I AM here, and I do have to live with my bad decision.   What can be done NOW?

Is this a reason for divorce? What suggestions do you guys have? I am sexually frustrated and crave affection.

Venice’s response:

First of all, laziness can be fixed.  If he isn’t carrying his weight around the house, let him know it’s a deal breaker.   You should be able to make this stand for your marriage, simply because you already seemed “checked out” and won’t have any problem going through with any consequences you’ve mapped out  if he doesn’t start helping out around the house more.

Now on to what really seems to be bothering you.

A woman who loves her man will love his size regardless of what a ruler says.  However, there will always be women like you whose love doesn’t transfer past the physical attributes of a person (body, penis, etc.). I’m willing to bet you both have never had a serious talk with each other, i.e. the importance of health, physical attraction, in your relationship. I’ll be the first one to tell you – I will never tell anyone to leave a man because he’s “too fat” or his dick is “too small.” That’s all subjective. That is your preference. But I know if a woman loves her man with all her soul, she would rate his body lower than his sense of humor, smile, caring nature, protectiveness, and his ability in making her feel good about herself.  It’s apparent you no longer love him.  And once those feelings are gone and you openly tell yourself and others how gross he is and how small his penis is to you, I don’t think you can ever turn it back on and respect him as a man again.  The damage is done.

With that being said, this seems like a pretty easy fix. The answer to your question is yes, this is a reason for divorce. Not just for you to divorce him, but for him to divorce you. Also, for you to say you crave affection is misleading because you never mentioned that he never gave you affection; rather you’re just looking for people to agree that you need to leave him. So…leave him. He can do better than be with someone who is essentially ashamed of him and who grosses her out. And you can be with with a man who will have a large penis, isn’t fat, and will help carry his load around the house.  Hopefully your new man will still love you when your body starts to deteriorate.

Ryan’s response:

What really stands out to me is the fact you mention his penis size being small numerous times.  You also throw in a very unnecessary comment about your husband being black and not living up to the “myth.”   Why does that really matter other than you want to anonymously humiliate him?

Obviously you have resentment towards him being lazy, him gaining weight throughout the marriage, and you no longer being attracted to him. Truthfully, if you aren’t attracted to him any more, and you definitely do not have respect for him as a man or his manhood, move on with your life. Give him a chance to meet someone who will actually respect and love him, and you find the same.  He can lose all the weight in the world and work hard to carry his half of the grownup load, but nothing will ever make him bigger than 4 inches or a BBC.

Move on as soon as possible and find someone that makes you happy. Life is too short.  Even if your husband doesn’t know it yet, he will be more happy without you.  Especially if he knew how you felt about him, his body, and his penis. Hopefully you stay skinny for the rest of your life and have the most absolute perfect breasts in the world. I’d hate for someone to marry you just to be married and figure out later that your breasts are saggy and small, nipples are ugly, your tummy is getting a bit larger, and your vagina is huge.

 

Q&A: My Girlfriend Isn’t Great At Giving Blowjobs

bad blowjobsSo basically my gf isnt great at giving bj’s. She can deepthroat and gag but it never ends in climax. Most times after she deepthroats and gags she feels the need to blow her nose or take a couple seconds break. This kills the momentum for me and i just end up going down a little eventually.

I have tried telling her what i like, and she has improved slightly but shes still persistent with her mentality of “im never gonna make you cum like that, i cant do it for that long, its tiring). Basically it never feels like she WANTS to make me cum, she just gives the bj because i ask for it.

Let me point out i have climaxed while recieving oral before. Doesnt take that long even, say 6-7 mins. But my gf cant seem to “suck” right(she says im big so its hard to get suction). We even tried for her to stick her tongue out a little from underneath and that does make it feel better but she says its very uncomfortable. It just feels like usually me sticking my dick into a box; nothing. I dont feel suction, wetness from her tongue or her throat.

Am i doing something wrong? is she just a girl that will always be bad at giving blowjobs?

Venice’s response:

First, the question is a bit unclear to me.  It seems like you are saying she has made you cum in six to seven minutes, but you are trying to cum through deepthroat?  Six to seven minutes for you to cum is pretty impressive if you ask me. It doesn’t seem to me that you’re doing something wrong, especially if her blowjobs end in an orgasm.  From what you’ve described, you want her to progress in her methods, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  The longer you’re with each other, the more you’ll want to change things up. It’s like trying a new recipe – even though you try new foods, the end result is always a full stomach.

I think it’s unfair to say that she just “a girl that will always be bad at giving blowjobs.”  It’s not even solely the communication because it seems that you express to her what you want, and in return, she gives you excuses as to why she can’t do them.

I’ve used some of those same excuses myself, so let me say in her defense, that when you’re used to doing things for so long, it can be difficult to adjust. Additionally, it’s not enough for her to follow every single suggestion you make because it’s also how receptive she is these same suggestions.  Try working on one method at a time, like, for example, improving the “couple seconds break” where you abandon the dick to rest your hands or catch your breath.  I know about this (haha), but I’ve learned that in those few seconds I can catch my breath, adjust my arm/elbow/neck position, and still keep steady friction on his penis.   I continue to stroke his dick and talk dirty to keep, as you say, the momentum.  I’ve learned, those little breaks, basically reset the action and throw off his orgasms.

Once you both believe she’s overcome the couple seconds break and is no longer hindered by it, you can move on to the next obstacle, whatever that may be.

Ryan’s response:

First, if you are being deepthroated and you feel your cock go down her throat, but you do not feel her teeth tearing your dick apart, you are not too big.  If I get too erect, although Venice can still technically deepthroat, I can feel the back of her teeth scratching very hard against my cock (as my dick goes down her throat). Enough so, there have been times we will both agree it’s one of those days my dick belongs in her vagina.  Although not really talked about, the penis can greatly vary in sizes day by day.

You’re definitely not doing anything wrong.  It sounds like you are being open and honest, and that’s a good start.  Some women care about giving good blow jobs, some care but are clumsy as hell and can’t help it, some find it embarrassing to try hard, some find it belittling but still do it to make their man happy, and some just flat out hate doing it.

Everything you described above was pretty close to Venice when we first met.  However, we were just teenagers.  In fact, even into our 20s she didn’t change much.  Why would she?  When I was a teenager I was just happy seeing a girl put her lips on my dick.  I remember thinking I’d never have a girl like me enough to want to put her mouth on penis.  I mean, I didn’t care about suction, rhythm, deepthroating, or hand techniques.  In fact, I told Venice at one point that I thought a man asking a girl to swallow was disrespectful and I’d never wanted to disrespect her.  Although she disagreed and demanded that I cum in her mouth, I was young minded.

But it only took once.  Once I was swallowed, I was never satisfied again if Venice spit me out.  It became the ultimate form of intimacy for me, and made me feel something I didn’t know a person could feel.   However, I still felt bad because I was worried about how bad it tasted, or the idea that I was a bad person to expect another human to swallow my body fluids when I ejaculate.   It was a mix of the alpha in me wanting to let my cum gush down her throat and hold her head against my crotch until she was forced to swallow every drop, and the beta, a good guy that felt swallowing was gross and a woman shouldn’t be treated like that.  Not that the beta in me was wrong, because out of the bedroom I am still working on my beta side.  However, in the bedroom, with the doors closed, there is no room for a beta and this is when a man needs to be a man. Venice eventually understood this and embraced her role as the total woman in the bedroom.

Although that is off topic, the point is, young minds aren’t mature enough to understand the role of sex in a relationship.  A person may never truly understand why a great blowjob is so important.  Because Venice started sucking my dick at a young age, she never had reason to improve.  In fact, she had no reason at all to even give me oral sex.  She also did things with little enthusiasm because she knew it took me 30 to 40 minutes to orgasm through blowjobs.  In other words, she preferred to have sex.

As a man, I don’t feel there was anything I could do to make Venice give me better blowjobs.  Like you, throughout the years I asked for enthusiasm, different techniques, and wanted to cum through oral sex more.  Maybe for a day or so she would try hard, but she would then immediately revert back to her old self.  It wasn’t her fault, it’s just hard to change your way of thinking.  I also felt that if she tried hard, or mocked what she saw in different porns, she was worried about looking “silly.”  Like, I remember her asking, “Why would I moan?  It doesn’t feel good to me and there is no reason to moan.”  Although I wanted to hear her enthused, she didn’t want to leave her comfort zone and possibly embarrass herself.  I wish I had advice on what I did or said to make Venice change, but truthfully, I didn’t do anything.  As she got older, she went through her own changes and became more of a woman.  She went from priding herself in being reserved, to priding herself in paralyzing me with oral sex.  She went from running to the bathroom to spit out my semen, to squeezing my dick as hard as she could to get every single drop of cum out and in her mouth to swallow.  And although she once had a hair-trigger gag reflex, she learned to deepthroat, face fuck, and get me off with oral sex in minutes.  This was just a few of many changes.  The only catalyst I can relate this change to was a death in the family.  Someone we were very close with passed away, and from there a lot of things changed.  She became less reserved and more about living life the way she wanted to live life, even if that meant embarrassing herself sucking dick like a porn star, coming out to her family about being bisexual, and wanting more anal sex.   By the way ladies, the more silly and crazy you look sucking dick, the more crazy sounds you make, the sexier you are to us.  It sounds dumb but there really isn’t much in life more beautiful than seeing a girl worship your cock.  I look down and see the most gorgeous person ever.

Now, I wouldn’t suggest going to kill a family member to get better blowjobs.  However, keep communicating and maybe she will decide to hit that inner switch that makes her more of a woman.  Unfortunately, there is nothing I know of that you can do, to really make a woman appreciate you except leave or threaten to leave.   Maybe that will turn on the switch and make her realize you want a woman, not a little girl.  This is a decision she has to make.  Your only decision is, do you want to spend more time with a female that can’t physically please you the way you want.

Q&A: Is it acceptable for a man to wear a butt plug?

Is it acceptable for a man to wear a butt plug? –  @GeorgeOneill18 via Twitter

Venice’s Response:

The funny thing about butt plugs is no one knows you’re wearing it except to whomever you chose to reveal it. It’s kind of like a dirty secret between you and your lover. Unlike a new pair of heels or a fitted cap, you can’t publicly show a butt plug. There is no purpose to it. So why do I wear it? I wear it to feel sexy, to feel dirty, to know that there’s something between my legs other than my vagina and that if anyone ever found out, it would blow their minds. I wear it to boost my sexual confidence. I put it on secretly in the morning, then text pictures of me wearing it to my husband to tease HIM for the rest of the day.

So, yes, I absolutely think it’s acceptable for a man to wear a butt plug for all the reasons I just stated.

Ryan’s Response: 

Venice answered the question perfectly.  The only person that will ever know you have on a butt plug is people you want to show or tell.  Otherwise, it doesn’t matter.  Now, if you want to talk theoretically on whether or not a man wearing a butt plug would be considered gay, that is a whole other discussion.

Being called gay or considered gay by someone else is simply a label. Everyone likes to label things because it helps them understand it. They are simple minded, and the way a simple mind works, they need labels.  However, that label has no effect on your life unless you let it.  If you do not consider yourself gay or bisexual, then guess what?  You aren’t gay or bisexual, regardless of what others want to label you.  Your ass is your ass. Your body is your body.  Nothing makes you gay except you saying you’re gay.  Even if it’s a man’s finger, a penis, or a one time experiment, you aren’t gay unless you consider yourself gay.   Being gay isn’t a race, or a permanent tattoo that once you try something, no matter how you feel, you are forever gay.  Maybe to simple close minded people, but who cares what they think.

I’ve never used an anal butt plug, because truthfully it just doesn’t feel good to me.  However, the tip of the finger during a blow job feels absolutely amazing.  Having my legs scooped up and being tongue fucked feels even more amazing.  My rim area is highly sensitive and I love the feeling of that area being played with.  It’s my g(guy)-spot.  However, I hate the feeling of that area being penetrated too deep. There is an area, about maybe an inch and half inside, that once penetrated, feels awful to me.  I’ve always had a sensitive prostate, so this is just my preference.  Do I care that I openly enjoy having my ass licked, tongue fucked, or played with by other women?  Nope.   It’s my body I decide what is acceptable.  If some people decide to call me gay because two women tongue fucked me in the ass together, then I will just be gay to them.  And trust me, if I enjoyed wearing a butt plug, I would wear one.

Q&A: Please Help, My Boyfriend’s Penis Is Too Big!?

penis is too big“Hey, my boyfriend and I just started having sex a few weeks ago and I immediately noticed he is by far the biggest I have ever had.  It isn’t really that long, but it’s very thick.  So thick that it feels like it is ripping my insides.  He likes it rough and tends to go a bit fast, but I am wondering if it’s possible that some guys are just too big for some women?”

Venice’s Response:   It seems to me that there would be a few factors that you would have to consider:

1)  How much time passes between sexual sessions? For me, even two days makes a difference. Anything longer than two days and it feels as if my tightness has returned to “resting” position.
2)  Are you lubricated enough if at all? It’s certainly possible that the ripping sensation you’re feeling could be from your lips and outer skin being pulled into your hole. If that’s the case, proper lubrication makes all the difference in having an enjoyable experience and ripping to the point that it burns afterwards.
3)  Are you relaxed?  If I’m tense or nervous, I find that I’m not receptive to sex. I will ask for my neck and ears to be kissed (my weak spots!).  Ryan will down and kiss me all over and tease my ass and pussy until I beg him to slide in me. At that point, I am wet and ready to feel him.

Remember:  Women are made to have babies. Even if you never go through natural childbirth, your vaginal canal is meant to stretch and receive a penis (regardless of size) and able to withstand the physical motion of intercourse.

Ryan’s Response:  This is a problem I’ve never really had so I can’t help that much.  I would suggest that if he is too thick ask him to slow down.  Foreplay.  Your vagina will loosen more as you get turned on, as well as naturally lubricate itself better.  So he doesn’t need to slow down just because it’s always better to ease it in, but also because it takes time for a woman to prepare herself mentally for a man to grab her and just slide his hard dick inside her.  Even an average size man needs to start slow.   I’d suggest him giving you oral sex and lathering your inner walls with his tongue.  He also needs to lick around the outer lips all the way to your inner thighs.  I’d imagine that he needs to lick all around the surface area his penis will be rubbing, simply to make it feel as comfortable as possible.  You can also try having oral sex with him, possibly at the same time he is going down on you.  As you suck his penis, do not suck it dry and hard but instead lather it by softly putting your mouth around it and leaving it wet with your spit.  If you have to literally push the saliva out of your mouth onto his penis, do it.  The more you are both lubed up, the better.  You could try coconut oil or any other lube of choice.  Have him place the lube on his fingers and slide it inside your walls.  Once your mind and body are ready, have him move slow for the first 5 minutes of intercourse so your body can get acclimated to his size.

As far as a woman being too small for a man?  I guess mentally, yes, every woman has her preference so I do think maybe some men are too big for women. But physically, any woman can handle a large man if the proper steps are taken and he knows how to use his tool correctly.  At the same time, I’m sure he could use his tool to make the woman as miserable as possible for 30 minutes, if that was his goal.    Know the man.
