but I start getting the urge middle of the week. I've never passed up sex with wife though so no problem there, I just look at it (pron) as a release in between the real thing.

How bout just telling her you need it more?

Worked for me. Although we've clearly established my wife wears the pants in our marriage so she of course had to consider and then grant me this one wish. Right Jones?

so you gave up porn, and your relationship with your wife improved? sounds like just a basic coincidence unless you were addicted to it or something.

I assume you're speaking from experience here; otherwise, it would make sense to just not say anything.

If you can pleasure yourself to that stuff on a regular basis and have it not affect your relationship with a significant other, more power to you. But I don't know how you would know that unless you actually tried it both ways.

And I have to think most wives are bothered by their husband doing that, whether or not they admit it.

Speaking from experience, the difference is night and day.

Well the essential conflict arises due to studies that show men "need" sex something like 3 times a week whereas women are good like once a week.

I have and she's okay with sex during the week but usually not that into it and, maybe I'm being weird, but it gets old doing it without the spark.

I blame it on the situation with having small children mostly - hard to be into it when you worked all day and then have to deal with their silly insanity into the evening.

Perhaps we could both cowboy up more and try to get a mid-week thing going consistently.

I'm in a steady relationship and don't have a need. If you're married you should have plenty else to do to keep you busy IMHO

I don't think it's truly possible for a human to view others in a carnally sexual way (and get off to it) without later comparing those images to their spouse or significant other.

I disagree

You have no idea how hard I have been working my calves the past few months.

Shame is a helluva drug

my man!

i shame everybody on the OB to do leg days

personally, i do legs everyday when i work out and my calves, quads and arse are no where near where i want them to be

NEED. MORE. PROTEAIN!!!11

when i didn't use to focus on calves, my calves would be huge, now that i focus on them they are more lean but smaller

but I am doing a ton of cardio,(at least five days a week), so my legs are way more lean than muscular

I've never had big calves.

Damn genetics.
