    What is the difference between coming during sexual intercourse, and by masturbating? i doubt there is...so him amusing himself isnt going to affect his life span lol.....or am i mis reading what you just wrote?

    Apparently it all has to do with the chemicals produced by the body and the effects they have on the system.

    The human body doesn't produce the same chemicals without the brains emotional stimulous to partnered sex.

    Masterbation tends to be more of a mechanical act than an emotional act, without the emotional stimuli of, dare I say it, "passion".

    Professor Brody monitored how various forms of sex affected blood pressure levels in a stressful situation.
    For a fortnight, 24 women and 22 men kept diaries of how often they engaged in various forms of sex.
    Then they underwent a stress test involving public speaking and performing mental arithmetic out loud.
    Volunteers who had had penetrative intercourse were found to be the least stressed, and their blood pressure returned to normal faster than those who had engaged in other forms of sexual activity such as masturbation.
    Those who abstained from any form of sexual activity at all had the highest blood pressure response to stress.
    Dr Brody found that the effect remained even after taking differences in personality and other health-related factors into account.

    If the shutters are down at home, don't be surprised if they go to a different shop.

    Do you know that quote actually makes no sense whatsoever, Did you think it out properly?;)

    If what you are trying to say is men are entitled to look elsewhere if they aren't getting any at home, then they aren't much of a husband.

    Yes it does, and yes I did.. People have affairs and break up for a reason, this is one of them. Not everyone is happy shopping at B&Q.

    I believe mostly because, if we don't, no-one else will.

    Thanks to the sexes having different chromosomes, women tend to live 10% longer than men, so anything we can do to survive we need to :P

    We are 22 and 23, two small kids, one bad labour, one good.

    We do it at least 4/5 times week. More when we have more time in the evenings to get to bed earlier.

    Before children were here we'd frequently come home on fridays, go to bed, get up 3pm saturday to go shopping, come home, watch dvd, go to bed, get up 1pm sunday and sort out house. (we weren't just very tired you know)

    My personal opinion is that we are being turned into this genderless race of 'people'. Normal 'animal' instincts have vanished and in its place is weird sanitised rationalism.

    For example,
    my friend is single, she looks for men with lots of £/nice cars. She's not stupid or badly paid but she wants some skinny git in a suit who drives an audi A5 and has a blackberry. She likes men to shower before sex, and must always washes straight after. God forbid they might sweat on her.

    I find this creepy.I can't ever remember thinking 'oh you're so much more desireable with a new car...'. I'm convinced I chose my mate, sorry, husband because he is tall, broad, a little hairy, well toned, (think defined, not Popeye), and is generally healthy looking and rugged. He therefore is strong and could hunt well and provide food for my children, he obviously has an adequate testosterone level and will be fertile, and he is a healthy specimen. This is what animals look for when choosing a mate and I think humans are no different. Why would you want to wash away the natural smell of your lovers skin? Mad.

    I have always had fairly primitive instincts like jealousy, lust and I think choosing a mate against your basic instincts is unnatural. Incidentally, my husband doesn't have a pot to p*** in(!), but I feel a powerful attraction to him in so many ways that no amount of money could create.

    Pretty soon there will be no lust left in the world and couples will form no different from friends who love each other. Peolple will want companions, not lovers, and sex will be forgotten except to pro-create.

    That's an average of 2.4 times per lifetime then.........!

    If he is 'kicking up a fuss' and pressurising her for 'intimacy' this is likely to have the opposite effect to the one he seems to want. Telling her, 'You don't love me any more', when she is trying to cope with the demands of two very young children is childish of him (he's competing with his own children)and egocentric in the extreme.
    If she is tired and stressed, (feeling as if everyone wants a piece of her is common at this stage of parenthood) then instead of 'giving her grief' he should try taking the children out for a while and let her have a relaxing bath and a long nap. If finances allow then treating her to a massage, haircut, new dress, meal out etc (without demanding anything in return) might gradually rebuild her sense of herself as a s@xy woman rather than harrassed mother! If he helps around the house and treats her as if she is beloved and precious to him (not just a convenient hole) she might feel more loving in return. Once she is treated with love and affection herself she might feel more demonstrative and s@xual towards him.

    Maybe I'm just lucky with my 'drive' but I put it down to my lovely dh! He has always treated me so wonderfully that I've never once gone off s@x in almost 26 years of marriage (even when we had 3 children under 5) and I was working part-time too. Indeed at my 6 week post-natal check I had to admit, with great embarrasment, to the doctor that I might even be pregnant again as we'd got unexpectedly 'carried away'. :o

    :D

    I REALLY REALLY want you to talk to my OH.

    Can I give you his number!!!! :rotfl:

    Why are there so many posts here that say a woman needs a new dress, dinner out, a new haircut, a present, etc before she feels up to having sex?

    Either they are sleeping with the wrong man or they are in the wrong 'profession' IYKWIM!
