A sexless marriage is a marriage in which little or no intimacy occurs between the two partners. Many couples may not admit it openly but if surveys have to be believed over 30% of the marriages are sexless. While sex is said to increase the bond between couples many couples are perfectly okay without it. Some times both the partners may not be interested in being intimate. But if one partner longs for intimacy and the other do not then it can lead the other to cheat on the spouse or have a miserable condition which involves feelings of rejection, frustration and confusion.
I left the message above in reply to the subject. What I am writing now is a thanks to Richard. Something I’ve never done before. I went back to the first articles Richard posted in 2018 and began reading comments readers have left to articles and after reading for an hour or so I was amazed at the number masturbators who follow Richard. If found Richard some years ago and now I realize I am just one of many who have been helped by Richard in realizing I am an addicted masturbator. Like many wrote, I listen to his podcasts and masturbate with him, I have even told him I want him to tell me to masturbate. What Richard has done for me I know now he has done for many. I will continue to read the comments to his articles and enjoy masturbating while I do. Thank you Richard.
I am a lifelong masturbator, since 12. My wife lost all interest in sex 20 to 25 years ago, I just picked up the pace of my masturbation. Married now over 50 years.
This is very common. Sexual desires change over time, and for many reasons, couples who get along in all other respects elect to stay together despite limited or no sexual activity. The problems come in when one partner frowns on the other’s needs and how they are met. Many women lose interest in sex following menopause and desire to retire from sex. This is why most of the men I know resort to late night porn and masturbation binges after their wives are asleep. It’s probably happening in half the homes in your neighborhood.
There is nothing wrong with not having sex. My wife and I haven’t been sexually active in almost 10 years and our marriage is great. Communication is the key. My wife knows that I’m a masturbator and that’s how I have sex. She respects that and it has really worked out. Not always easy but then nothing is.
I love being a celibate masturbator!
