I Want Your Sex: The 4-Way

The straight woman’s perspective: Rebecca Brown

Jenna? Jenna Jameson? Is that you? I’m so honored that you’re a 4-Way reader!

Seven times a week, EG? Seriously? What kind of female Cialis is pumping through your veins, girl? I’m exhausted and a little sore just thinking of all that activity. But I digress …

While I think it’s important to have compatible levels of interest in this area (and clearly you don’t), I’m wondering if you’re focusing a little too much on quantity versus quality. Wouldn’t you rather have a pleasurable and intimate connection the times that you are together? Because the alternative is being with someone who’s on autopilot, someone who feels pressure to perform and stares nervously at the wall while he aimlessly jackhammers away. That doesn’t sound pleasurable or intimate for anyone involved.

You mention marriage, so clearly this is someone you care about in more than just a “bang him seven times a week” kind of way. So if you haven’t talked to him about what you like and what you need, you should. And maybe that conversation isn’t even about what you need and what you’re not getting; maybe it’s a sexy little chat about the things that turn him on the most. Lacy bustiers? Thigh-high stockings and heels? Assless leather chaps? (It takes all kinds, people!) Or maybe he just needs a good old-fashioned pair of white cotton panties. Whatever it is, surprising him with his favorite turn-ons might help up your weekly volume.

But be forewarned: even with those sexy enticements, he may never be able to match your enthusiasm to the tune of seven times a week. Can you be happy with 3.5 times per week, maybe taking some alone time with your battery-operated toys to carry you through the droughts? That’s what you need to think about. If you marry this man—or any man (or woman), for that matter—a mismatch in sexual desire is something you’ll have to work out at some point. Cause honey, if you think you’re suffering now, just wait until you face the prospect of having sex with the same guy for the next forty years. Find a sweet spot you can both live with. As Tim Gunn says, “make it work.”

You defenatly HAVE to talk about it. BUT...not in the bedroom!!! That would be a mess and only make him feel bad, which is not going to get you more satisfaction! Try out some things that might help turn him on more, it may and may not work. There are men who just are not what is concidered the "norm" and are not as into it as others. It sounds like you do have a good relationship otherwise, so there is hope. Perhaps he can try to be in the mood a little more and you can try to understadn it is not you that is of issue and he just doe snot have the drive some do. Then you can find ways to feel good without sex per say! Intimacy is the important part and sex is a means to that. However, it is not the only means to get it. If you think it could be a larger issue and cause you to cheep later on, then dont go there. End it now and find another more willing stud before your heart is in further. I hope for you the best and if you can learn to do as I did in the first post I placed. GD LUCK

I feel your pain huny! I too have a man who desires a lot less than I. I am 38 and as horny as ever! My ex and I did it nearly every day for 11 yrs and finally I realised that was all we had together, I moved on and fell in love with the sweetest man who cares and takes great care of me. He is the most wonderful husband in the world. THAT SAID...he only wants it once a week if I am lucky! As one of the 4 said tho, it is quality rather than quantity in the end. I would love to do it every night, but I also love the way he makes me feel in general when not in bed. So I learned to take the trade off and get out "BOB" (battery oper. boyfriend) once in a while, if I am feeling especially desperate ;) Honestly tho, as time goes on, I have learned it is not so bad and hardly ever have a date with "BOB" anymore. Cuz I feel so loved in other ways it kinda makes up for the lack of sex. Not compleatly, but enough to make it worth the sacrifice in the end!!! ;)

I CAN CERTAINLY RELATE. I AM 47 YEARS OLD AND AM HOT AS EVER. I AM IN THE PRIME OF MY LIFE AND DESIRE MORE SEX. APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO, MY HUSBAND STARTED TAKING BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICINE, CHOLESTROL MEDICATION, AND THE GET UP AND GO GOT UP AND WENT. HE IS NOW 54 AND I AM JUST 47. I AM NOT FULFILLED AT ALL. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE ORDERED THINGS FOR HIM TO TRY AND HE IS NOT CONSISTANT IN USING THEM. ALSO, HE DOES NOT WANT IT LIKE I DO. I HAVE HAD FANTASIES OF BEING WITH A WOMAN AND WITH ANOTHER MAN. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO BUT I AM SO UNFULFILLED AND DESIRE MORE. OVER THE WEEKEND, A LADY FRIEND AND I GOT TOGETHER AND I HAD THIS INCREDIBLE URGE TO PERFORM ORAL SEX ON HER--I DID AND SHE GOT A B-I-I-I-G-G-G ORGASM. SHE DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN RETURNING THE ACT TO ME. HOWEVER, I DID GET FULFILLMENT DOING HER. I STILL HAVE THE URGE FOR MORE, MORE, MORE. MY HUSBAND IS NOT ABLE TO SATISFY MY URGES. I EVEN DESIRE ANAL SEX. HE HAS PERFORMED THIS ON ME IN THE .

I had a very similar situation with my ex-boyfriend. I was Supersized and he was Tapas. May even Tapa - singular... I have my own baggage in regards to this obviously, and in the end there were bigger issues. But what I did learn is that it's not always personal, how hot or not he found me wasn't going to change our sexual compatibility. I made myself miserable with insecurities about why I wanted sex more (buying into that whole social stereotype that guys want it all the time) and that is no way to live. Communcition is key, if sex is an important issue you will have to talk to him and sooner rather than later! Find out what you both can live with, and hopefully what will make you both happy.
It feels good to write.
