Gave old girl the Jolly Roger yesterday afternoon. Always fun. Over 26 years together. Can’t imagine being in a marriage and not knocking it out on a regular basis. Guess it happens.


Very same for me and my wife. The only thing that is different is we have been married 42 years together.

Honestly, I find this to be the least surprising news I’ve heard today.

How about early menopause within 2 years of 2nd child? Over another 2 decades with a nasty witch that surfaced suddenly and often with no warning.

I wonder what percentage of married adults are old. Like Boomer old. Might skew the results.

‘So, how do you flirt with your partner?


Threw an orange peel at her last week. Shoved my finger up her nose while she was asleep.
Stuck her on the arse with a butter knife while she was emptying the dishwasher.
Sprayed her with the water hose.
Turned off the bathroom light while she was in the bathtub.
Hit her with a water balloon.

She started it.

Lol. Even when it’s not men’s fault, it’s still men’s fault. No one ever wants to hold women accountable for anything.

I’ve been married a little over a year and I still can’t keep the wife off me. No idea what those other losers are doing wrong.

In just a few short years ill turn 50 yrs old.. and one thing that comes with age is learning not to give a frick what other people think.. or more accurately, I might care what others think 5 or 10% of the time, vs 85 or 90% of the time when I was younger.. I say that to say, DO NOT ever feel like you have to get married, no matter what anyone else tells you.. ive done it once, and wish id just remained single.. if you're one of the fortunate few to find a great woman and not be trapped in a sexless marriage- congratulations, you are the exception that proves the rule.. im thankful to be in my late 40s, dating younger women who haven't let themselves gain weight, or cut their hair off to where they start looking like a dude .. and having the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want to do it- is truly priceless.. Good luck out there fellas .

For God’s sake, when you’re married you’re a team. You do things for each other. That includes not turning into a lard arse so you remain attractive to each other.

Life’s too short to go it alone, imo. Would rather have someone always in my corner.

I’m so fricking sick of hearing about this. It’s all over social media. All these memes about how it’s completely okay for women to remove physical intimacy from relationships because men don’t do fill in the blank. And it’s always the same conditions that men need to do or change. Conditions that need to be met before those poor pitiful ladies can find the fortitude to have sex with their husbands.

I’m sick of it. And it’s fricking all over the place. It’s all excuses. Fatigue, kids, job, perimenopause, menopause, stress, anxiety, etc, etc, etc. It’s completely socially acceptable for women to nope out of a relationship.

I don’t know where we are going right now, but it’s not good.

Most people are overweight. Look like shite compared to when they first got together.

That leads to people having lower energy. Coming home tired after eating garbage all day sitting at a desk job.

Also leads to hormones being out of whack. This country has really done women a disservice as to not really pay attention to their hormones until they come up on menopause. There are 30 and 40 year olds that could benefit greatly from HRT

2 - Bring Back the Fun quote:"If we don't have fun, what's the point?" Elton asked. "We need to bring fun back into the relationship." The sexologist recommended another exercise — A-to-Z date nights, where couples choose an activity that starts with a different letter of the alphabet for each date.


Honey I’ve got this great idea off tigerdoppings.

It’s called A for anal.

I’d believe they aren’t having sex with each other but at least one is getting something on the side.

Yup. Women always catch hell for gaining weight after marriage but men do it just as much. I work with a guy who claims to be 100 lbs heavier than when he met his wife in college. He's maybe 300 lbs now so he was pretty fat in college, too. His wife is maybe 110 lbs. He constantly complains about her not putting out. No shite dude, she doesn't want a pile of blubber pawing all over her.

Not saying this is the entire problem but it’s seems there are a lot of men who get mad because the wife doesn’t initiate sex and it turns into this issue burdened with resentment.


There is a lot of truth to this. When a man realizes that initiating sex is his department and the sex will increase. My wife seems to want the whole deal where we both orgasm maybe once a week. Less if she is under a lot of stress and PMSing. So we schedule that time once a week. I am not content with this so once or twice a week she takes care of me when I ask. Sometimes I’ll just tell her that in the next day or so I need her to initiate at least a quickie. She almost always obliges. But here is the other thing. She has other needs that are not directly sex related that I make sure I’m fulfilling for her. Such as Adult conversation (she is with kids all day) and helping around the house. We have been married for 25 years and honestly life it better than ever in this area. It helps that we genuinely like each other. When we figured a lot of other stuff out the sex piece fell into place pretty easily. Also, people need to check in with the doctor often on their hormone situation. We are proactive in that area. Lastly, men, especially young men need to know how to make sure they are giving their wives orgasms.
