I don't think women mind a mans shape so much because they know we'll be pleased for sex any way we can get it. They take one look at me for example and come to the conclusion "he'd go down on me like a parched labradoodle."
It's not always the women who shut up shop. I know too much, way, way too much, about the sex lives of my daughter's friends parents. These women are horny as fuck, but their husbands just aren't stepping up to the plate. Tradies, armed forces, city desk jockies, doesn't seem to discriminate. The husbands come home and are generally snoring on the couch by 9.30pm. These women do a group trip to Blacktown and attack the sex shops for their toys. So we can't lay ALL the blame at their feet either.
It is a slippery slope. What can happen is that little things can get in the way, and.before you know it a rift has.opened between you. You've stopped doing those intimate non-sexual gestures, holding hands, hugging just because, when was the last time you really looked in to her eyes? The lack of intimacy puts more distance between you. You become like strangers in the same house... The smallest thing can set off arguments. The whole relationship gets injected by some uncaring virulence that festers...
In my case my marriage was dead before the sex dried up. In fact it was probably all that kept us together for almost a year. The old adage that women marry hoping their men will change while men marry hoping their women won't was very true in our case.
So I guess what I'm saying is, if the only problem between you is that she has no sex drive, it's not so bad.
