DM Article

Normally I skim through the DM just for a laugh, but came across this:


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3450378/I-really-don-t-want-sex-nor-honest-women-young-children-says-mother-four-does-half-make-it.html


Whilst I think this is true in lots of situations, and it's often said that with young children there is simply no time for intimacy (though in fairness there must be to make more children!!) - just interesting to see what others think on this.




On a side note: if that's what the guy looks like when he's made an effort for a national newspaper I cant say I blame her for her views.....

    My youngest was a newborn and my eldest was 15.... It was the only thing kept me going. Yes i was knackered, yes i felt mumsy but the fact that i was wanted sexually kept my head above nappies and school timetables.

    Are they the same people?

    The 2 photos from 2010 look like a totally different couple.

    I thought the same thing at first, but then he hasn't really got much incentive to stay in shape. The poor sod has probably sought solace in beer and pies.

    Four children under 5, including a set of twins and the youngest still under a year old? Frankly I'm impressed if she finds the energy and time to brush her teeth.

    Not got kids myself but have been in long term relationships. Tbh, there comes a point where I just can't be bothered half the time.

    People (men and women) have their needs. If they are not met, resentment is going to rear its ugly head at some point..

    Nine months not that long?!!!!

    Nine days would see me needing counselling.
  • She said in the article that when he touches her (wanting sex, not just in general) it makes her skin crawl, no wonder he takes no pride in himself. Can't honestly believe he posed for a picture with his partner outing to a lot of readers that she hates having sex with him.
