This is a comment by Jane Doe on “I Was Asking My Wife For A Vow Of Celibacy“:
Thank you. I am a woman in my 30′s who has been married for 13 years. While my sex drive is very high ( I like to have sex at least once a day), my husband’s libido is very low and has been for over 10 years. This has been so painful for me. I think because we are socially conditioned to believe that men always want sex, therefore I have allowed myself to believe that something is wrong with me if he isn’t interested. It has been devastating to feel rejected and undesirable. The idea of leaving our marriage because my sexual needs aren’t being met makes me feel selfish. I’m grateful to you for talking about this issue. I haven’t seen it adressed elsewhere.
