Men are expected to be yearning/aching/wanting/thinking about sex every waking moment of every day. Which, we guess, is why the authors of "He's Just Not Up for It Anymore" say women jump to some pretty drastic conclusions about why their men don't want to do the deed. Here are a few:
1. He's angry.
2. He's not well.
3. He's been traumatized.
4. He's addicted to porn/drugs.
5. He's cheating.
Yikes. While those reasons may, in fact, be valid on rare occasion, we've got a better idea why he doesn't want to jump our bones: He's tired. Read more of this ground-breaking theory after the jump.
Think about it: Sex for gals isn't a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am kinda thing. First, he's gotta convince us we actually want to have sex. (And let's be honest -- we use the "tired" excuse waaaay more often than dudes.) Then, he's gotta warm us up. Then there's foreplay. More foreplay. Even more foreplay. Then finally, sex. It's a process.
Now throw in an awful day at work, a mind-numbing hour-long commute during rush hour, kids (if applicable) and dinner. Perhaps, like us, he's just exhausted. So instead of spazzing that are men are banging their secretaries just 'cause they don't want want to get kinky tonight, give him a break. Or a blowjob. Either way, he'll appreciate it.

I completely agree with the advise above.
I must say mothers shouldn't spoil their daughters too much, they'll end up being too dependant or not know how to cook or keep the house clean. A man relies on his girlfriend or wife to take on such tasks.

Whoa CHi CHi. Men should know that also. Quite frankly, if I'm going to marry a man or even date him for that matter, he needs to be fully independent and able and willing to help out. I don't want to be his mother.

Well you can try this 2 options, if the first one doesn't work try the last one.
1. Take the kids somewhere else, grandma, nanny, etc. Make her a nice dinner with candles, wine (lots of it), flowers, romantic music and then try doing it once a week/month to see if your sex life can change a little... When you get home from work don't seat on tha couch to watch tv, help her cook, do the dishes, say that you're thankful because she takes care of the kids and you, go to the grocery store with her, help around doesn't matter how tired you are, she is too... Buy a book that is now on sale in the Boarders is called 1001 ways to be ROMANTIC Gregory J.P. Godek it has lots of ideas, advice for couples that have been together for a long time so the relationship can still be as exiting as it was in the beginning...
The other option is really mean but for some reason it works for some girl/women... ( I have some girl friends that are like this that's why I know)
2. Make her feel a little insecure... (But never cheat, if you do and she finds out, you're history!!!) Go out with your friends for a beer, if you don't have any friends go to a bar grab a beer and get home just one hour later than you usually do, don't try to have sex with her for a while... If she don't want to loose you she'll try to get your attention getting naked in front of you or wearing something sexy as a pj or doing something different...
from one extreme to another
We are so complicated... ;-)

Ladies - fact of the matter is that if YOU'RE chinsy with the lovin', your man eventually won't care if you ever get some again...he will find it elsewhere - guaranteed!

i guess it goes both ways... i am extremely sexual and my fiancee just isn't ! I know how hard he works, so he's always really tired and i really respect and appreciate that...but i have to say that i am so tired of initiating always! I need to be dominated sometimes & it's just not who he is! Am I getting into a marriage thatS bound to fail? Everything else in the relationship is GREAT, but it's like we're on two different pages when it comes to sex!! What do you think??!!!

Im in the same boat also. It was good at first and I mean sometimes several times a day. After year 2 its been me wanting to and him not and its still that way. Please someone explain this because I dont know how much more I can take. Ive been turned down and now I try to give him his space to see if he tries and I get nothing. I dont get it. Its usually the women but in my case its the other way around. I just wished I had answers. Im 27 and hes 29 so there should be no excuse. Weve been together 3 and a half years. His excuse is hes tired but all my guy friends dont get it as well as i dont. I really wished I knew because Im almost to the point to where I may end it. Im in love but feel hes not because of all of this. There is no way hes cheating cause he doesnt have the time. I need answers quick because Im so in love with him. Thats the only flaw we have.
