I've also got to agree with Kate's post, strikes me as right on the money. I'm not married myself, but I do imagine that this is something that many married men deal with, as it's inevitable that the amount of sex that a married couple have together can and seemingly often does lessen over the years, and sometimes can get to the point where it's little to never.
A great friend of mine who's a good bit older than me (he's in his late 50's and married/divorced twice over) had told me that he'd once had a conversation with some of the married guys at his work ranging from their late twenties and recently married to mid sisxties and married 30+ years, the topic being how often do you and the wife still have sex. There were 10 or so men taking part in this conversation. As you all can imagine, there was a drastic reduction with all of them after the first year of marriage, and then a chartable downward trend in the frequency of sex as the years go (or is it drag?) on...
The youngest guy in the chat was late 20's, had been married close to 2 years, and said he and the wife still averaged about 3 times per-week. The next cluster of guys were all generally late 30's to early 40's, married anywhere from 8 to 15 years, and these guys were saying they were only getting sex form the wife once a week in the best case, a few that were only got it twice a month, and another that was only getting sex from the wife once every 2-3 MONTHS!
There was only 3 guys left, one in the mid-40's, another mid 50's, and the oldest was early 60's. These guys claimed it was at best 2-3 times a YEAR, with the oldest guy saying it had been about once a year for himself and the wife for the last 5 years or so.
As unofficial and less-than-scientific my friend's 'research' in this case might've been, he'd had this type of chat many times over the years, with similar answers among those that would talk about it. Obviously there's a lot more to a relationship than only sex; my friend did go on to ask if they still cared about their marriages, and all said yes, and all the guys here seemed to be happy enough with all the other aspects of their marriage, APART FROM the lack of sex. It's probably the only major thing in their relationships that most of them would change if they could.
So I can imagine that if/when I should happent o get married, I might find myself in the same situation, having a gradual reduction in the frequency of sex with the wife. I trust that my own sexual appetite will also reduce as I age, but I think I'll still want sex a bit more frequently that a few times per-year... I'd say I'll be an escort customer for life!
