Well you really have to get him to want it as well, like the song says. "It takes two babe..."

Luckily I learned this when I was 18 with a girlfriend... and her girlfriend. Was a real shock at the time but I got an education of a lifetime that's served me well.

I haven't seen either of them since 1981 but will never forget them.

Luckily my wife is also interested in keeping things spiced up as well so I can honestly say I am likely way above average in satisfaction there even with 16 years in the marriage.

We both entertain each others ideas and give them a try. Like the saying goes, we'll try anything once, twice if we like it.


Find out what catches his interest... pick one thing.. then another, one step at a time. Hopefully he will take the que.

Letmetellyou that was one of the bluntest answers I have read on here but sadly it was spot on. I have been trying to deal with this exact problem with my partner for months now and it has come to the point where I told him I would leave if nothing changed. Nothing changed so I have left him even though this was the man I wanted to marry. I thought the shock would change him but if anything it just caused arguments we never would have had and I had to leave. I'm really trying to tell myself that I have done the right thing. I just couldn't go on the way things were. I was having to think about other things and other people to get myself off and I grew tired of getting no sexual attention. I started to lose my confidence which affected every aspect of my life.

Thinking you can change people is the biggest mistake one can make when going into a relationship.

Tease him! Don't just give it up to him. Make him work for it. He might find this exciting and can lead into some fun games you can play together. Most men are lazy when it comes to sex. They just want to get their rocks off and that's it. But if you play hard to get then it will force him to stop being lazy and help add some excitement for both of you. They may not like it at first, but don't give in. Make him give in to your needs. If he won't make that extra effort to please you then why should you do the same for him. Marriage is 50 50 and not 90 10.

I have read research that state that over fifty percent of all aspects of love making is ninety percent mental. To say this simply over half of all aspects of sex is majority mental. The short affair probobably seemed so hott because it was frobidden fruit. Give your husband a chance. If you think that he sucks he will suck. Try sexual counseling, as long as the physical aspects are there it can work.

I have noticed a lot of these threads with near enough the same title.. my mans is a rubbish lover,my hubby is rubbish in bed, I have still to notice one that says "our" sexlife is dull.it takes two to tango,why is he the bad lover and not both of you? He may be thinking the same of you.
Communicate,tell him how important it is and he will get the message, guide him and tell him what you want and how you want it, men are not mind readers and I believe they shouldn't take all the blame for a dull sex life which you are BOTH involved in.

Right on the money

TOUCH HIM and GUIDE HIM.
When you are cooking and he comes home, ask him to get close. Grab his hand and put it on your breast.
Get him from behind and grab his package.
Softly run your finger one the inside of his hand.
Just try different things through out the day to make him want some. And then at night tease him. Give him oral, if he says he doesn't want to give you any, when you are giving him, turn around and do 69.
You can send him a nasty text message or just say. You Me Tonight... Can't Wait.
Little things like that. Guys don't understand that we just don't get statified with simple sex.
Good Luck :)

Try playing sex games play act out pretend you're a whore he has to pay for, or blindfold him,and tease him to a point where he can't hold out, vise versa. See I was the same way after 20 years of doing different things to my husband and him doing to me I went for a24 year old after 20 years of marriage the sex was boring so now I'm 40 starting al over again 4 kids with my husband and now 9 month old baby with my boyfriend see that's what happens after nothing else works so if you don't want a new man and a new family try new acts

Did you husband find out about the affair?

I would say communincate and tell him that what you don't like abou his bedskills,

Think about telling him about the affair too.

How does he feel about your sex life?

My husband is the same way and it happens after a while, it was a little better in the beginning! Anyway you should really make him understand because he may not take it seriously, guys don't!! You need to make him understand, give him the silent treatment and when he asks what's wrong let him know. I know of some people that hold off on sex to get there way, now I don't neccessarilly agree with this but it WORKS!! I have been too afraid to do it because I think that my husband will run to another if I hold off on sex but it is up to you.


Also make a romantic getaway for the day and surprise your husband, go to a motel and do something different. This is the only thing that works for me is if I really make him to understand that I need the romance and a lot of times he suggests that we get a way and go to a motel, etc. The only other time my husband want to do different things more romantically is when we watch x rated films and he will be ready to try anything after watching dirty movies.

You and your husband needs serious counselling.You both should identify what's best for you.Sex is a mutual affair,not one-sided.One question"do you know what turns on your husband most?if yes,repeat it quite often.he will surely give back a return offer.

Ok, my advice as a guy, without hurting a mans ego is to make him want it. When he tries to start the regular boring intercourse with you just be like, "nah, not in the mood tonight". Honestly, that would piss me off, and hurt, but right after that, you have to be like, "well, only if we can try _ this time".. you know whatever you're into. Eventually, if he wants it, he'll try it. Just don't fall into the same position or situation your regular sex becomes. Make the regular stuff seem so boring to you that he gets the freaking hint. He's your partner, so make him understand this is who you are, and repetition to sex is not the key

But that is not what a lot of men think, he thinks get in bed naked, that tells her what he wants, roll over on her and tries to slip it in, it won't go so he spits on his hand to lubricate things, then he slips in and after a few pumps he is through. Then he might ask "Was it good for you:?

I agree. Most women appreciate the little things. When a woman feels like she is appreciated and special it is amazing how moved she can become. Try to look at the positive things in your husband. Instread of focusing on the sex, tell him what you do like about him. Maybe he is feeling insecure in your relationship and this is carrying over into your intimate life. Good Luck!

I have the same problem. My husband is boringly predictable about other things in life, too like food, clothing, vacations, television and other entertainment. He flatly refuses to give oral sex but prefers that I do it for him over genital sex, he acts like he's doing me a favor when he "has to" do the missionary position. Lately, the only way I get sex is if I say something snarky - THEN he responds. It's almost never his idea, I have to 'remind' him. He simply ignores my requests for changes or oral sex, doesn't say no, just ignores me. He behaves as if he loves me in other ways - touches me and kisses me often. But sex seems like an issue for him. In my estimation, he's selfish, because he can't get over himself to even try what I'd like. He prefers rear entry vaginal sex, which to me is rather impersonal, and doesn't provide the stimulation I need. I'm quite tempted to call an old boyfriend and get jiggy with him. It's very sad that someone I love, and who apparently loves me, is such a big zero in the bedroom, and stubborn about it to boot.

get some marriage couseling, everyone needs it some, it sounds like you need it more than ever

Wear a costume to marriage counseling and let the therapist apply the body paint. Marriage counseling is only for the select few who still might have a future together. It is basically just a safe atmosphere for someone to play more mind games and use it againgst you later. On second thought, stick with the costume!

I read this and almost started crying! This is my life, pretty much every time and my husband yells screams, and even punches things because he feels that he is not getting sex enough. I have tried to drill it in to him what I need, but it still stays the same. I feel like I am going crazy. When I try to explain to him in detail, he gets his feelings hurt and ends up PO'd at me. I don't know what to do. The sex is so bad sometimes that I go into the bathroom and cry silently. Sad. Tonight when he asked, "Did that feel good?" I said, "No, it didn't." Then tried again to explain with the same results, him mad and me not sleeping in the room. I don't know what to do. I appreicate all the advice posted here, but it seems like I am going to have a BAD sex life forever at this point. Anyone ever come out of this situation?
