    Whatever you said is good for newlyweds or young couples few years in to being partners. That’s a totally different deal when man being in the relationship for decades, all of the sudden remembers she never actually initialized throughout all that time. And then you realize that she actually never even initialized cuddling hugging or spooning. She will accept your initialization, she will enjoy massages, foreplay and other stuff - and you better do it good and for a long while, otherwise you might not get the whole package. Or she will fake it ( which is worse, and I’ve known when she did it for decades) - something like that hit you like a ton of bricks. I have cats, because if I don’t I’ll have bad rats problem. And I feed them only enough so that they will stay around my house. So when that “ton of bricks” hit me - that was some sobering epiphany, that I am like those cats! And she actually doesn’t care about me at all.

    • @CBrantleylmft
      @CBrantleylmft 9 дней назад

      That is a good point. The "problem" with initiation is the meaning people attach to it. So even if it is scheduled, the one who believes that initiation means more than simply 'making the first move' won't be content.

    Amen. These are tough topics but what you said, I can tell, the Holy Spirit is guiding you. I totally agree, but it’s not what I think nor is it about my opinion-it’s about what our Father in Heaven, our Creator, says it’s the way it’s supposed to be-therefore, since He’s our God, He knows best. Not only that, when we live in His will for us, is when we find true connection with, and love for one another. Thank you so much for sharing and speaking truth. It’s hard to find godly men who speak up nowadays. Every since I’ve decided to stop focusing on myself and my selfish needs all the time, my husband and I have actually started to connect emotionally, physically, and spiritually, which is so much more rewarding than the way we were living before. Again-thank you my brother! May Jesus bless you and keep you, and your loved ones close to Him! ✝️🙏

    I'm not married, but I found this to be very helpful. Recently, I traveled to see a guy that lives 2 hours by plane. Took a very early flight. Yes i paid for it with my own money. we just had a day together. Have not seen him in over a month. We talk often via video chat voice notes, phone, and send memes on IG. The connection has advanced. We are not together, though. He is more sexually experienced than I am and is very flirtatious often. I made it clear that I have been celibate for close to 2 years. I also mentioned my dissatisfaction with former sexual partners and not climaxing due to poor quality foreplay. I expressed my desires to make reservationfor an activity i enjoyed., finding places to eat, and then spending quality time together connecting. I also expressed enjoying light touching. I reliterated this the week of meeting. When I arrived at the airport, he hesitated to kiss me and did not kiss me at all the whole time I was with him. There was a lack of affection on his end. Last time when I visited, he was more affectionate. I understood he had worked before picking me up. I was disappointed and did not feel connected and desired. I know what you all are thinking did I talk about it. With him. No I didn't. I sat and observed. When we were at his place watching television I made gestures ( put my head on his lap) He did get the hint and touched me but I still felt he was distracted by his phone. There were some PROS though: he opened my door, took my luggage, paid for meals and made the reservation for the activity I wanted to do. He was accommodating, did the driving. Gave me a tour of the other areas of his apartment complex.He made me laugh. Cons: No kissing at all, Gave me a friendly hug, ,When he was affectionate it was short. Would only grab the boobs and slapped my ass, Later in the evening he tried touching my private area and gestured for me to sit on top to get off. I declined tand pushed him off out of frustration. I went to sleep. When i woke up in the middle of the night i went to the couch and sleep there until i had to wake up and get ready to leave. .(He did wake up and asked if i needed anything from the kitchen which showed her cared) No kiss goodbye at the airport. Currently I am still in my feelings. I have decided to keep my options open for dating, which I should have been doing and to pull back from effort to visit him and will entertain when he plans to visit me and if I am available. I already went out twice to see him. I am focusing on myself for now. I do plan on talking to him about it and to see if we can resolve anything. 0:52

    There is also the issue of control and manipulation at play. “I will participate in sex, but you must come to me for it. I want it, but I will not initiate it.”Therefore, the other person’s sexual drive/appetite is being used against them to feed the non-initiator’s need for control or sense of power. So they manipulate you into participating according to their dictate.

    I had a male friend, dated a girl for 6 mos then they move in together. Month 7 (that's just one month of living together), he's calling me complaining about how infrequently [HE'S] getting s3x. I asked how often did they have it before living together, he said about twice, 3x's if she stayed Fri-Sun. I asked, so what is it down to now that yall live together, he said in frustration, IT'S THE SAME! I asked, what's the problem. He said I WANT MORE. I asked what does more look like to you, he said tiwce a day (before work and when he gets home or before bedtime) every day or every other day. I explained (1), our body can't handle that frequency. Kat get tender, soar, and swollen and therfore not pleasurable. (2), I asked if he expressed this before they moved together, he said no. He just thought they would naturally do it more once they were under the same roof. I asked, why did you think that, he said, HE just THOUGHT they would. Before the year was out, she moved out cause she felt he only wanted her for her body and not a true committed loving relationship.

    We do not operate from lust and a lot of immature men keep trying to pull us into their lustful perverted world. We are wired for LOVE, not Lust. I don't care what semantics you put on it i.e. "desire you", it's LUST. Until immature men let that click in their head (both of them), I guess the battles continues 🤷‍♀️ Turn Off The Corn

  • @aprilwashington3150
    @aprilwashington3150 2 месяца назад

    Sex is not on women's mind because we're not inundating ourselves with s3xual images all day everyday. Therefore, it's LITERALLY not on our minds. If men turn off the corn, our interest "desire" would be more in balance with each other. Why is that so hard to comprehend???

  • @mikem6176
    @mikem6176 2 месяца назад

    She was not feeling it. Physical changes from a newborn plus a school age kid. House. Work. The minutia of life. “No” is the easiest word to say in the English language, and it means so much more than just ‘not now.’ It stings. So, he backs off. Waits. She’ll come around, eventually. But she doesn’t. And she won’t. Complacency sets in. Patterns of behavior form. Passion dies. He gave up asking a long time ago. It’s not that he doesn’t want her. It’s not that she doesn’t love him. He remembers how good it was, and he yearns, but he also remembers the pain. And he no longer knows how. And she’s long since forgotten why. But, sometimes. Occasions. Not often, but just often enough to keep hope alive. He thinks she’s come back to him. So he tries. And fails. The pain is the same. The humiliation. The self doubt. You suggest he awaits her lighting a candle? Some tacit message that tonight she’ll be receptive? He can’t. He doesn’t believe in fairytales anymore.

    Lol...i feel like the only wife in this comment section. Ive been the initiate 90% of the time throughout our entire marriage...even during the newlywed phase. Itd be nice to feel wanted that way more. To be clear...ive never rejected my husband when he has initiated. He just also has a problem with HOW he initiates. Hes very awkward and just kinda gropes a little until i get the hint. It makes me wonder if hes been rejected in a prior relationship and is still afraid to go all in so he just sort of fumbles the ball when he tries. This has been a larger issue in our marriage than ive let him know. Its left me feeling ashamed of my sexuality (makes me feel like im the only one who wants sex), rejected, undesirable, unwanted, and just generally unloved. So strange how something like this can have such a big impact on an intimate relationship.

    • @trok90k
      @trok90k Месяц назад

      You are rare mama. From my experience, she stopped initiating a little after marriage. I've done all initiating for over a decade. That means I've received all of the rejection also. It gets old and you get tired of initiating and you get tired of the rejection so you just stop asking. It really messes with your confidence as man.

    • @CBrantleylmft
      @CBrantleylmft 3 месяца назад

      Very good question. Based on the way that the culture understands love, I would say no love is not enough. However, the way that I teach couples is that when we love for real, then Love is enough. I describe love as a "House" and inside the house lives everything you need to have a long-term success. That includes communication, or learning to communicate...and all the other skills. HOWEVER...I have recently discovered a "clarification" I need to teach on this topic...I'm preparing that now. Thank you for your question.

    This was very helpful! Thank you. My husband and I have been debating a discussion of whether or not masturbation is “self abuse.” He believes it is and wants to teach our children this. I do not. I believe that is a dangerous idea because of the shame it could take a young person through and end up in some strange outcome. I do believe that masturbation in a marriage is selfish but what are your thoughts when teaching this idea to a young person? It’s so important to me that my children are raise with a healthy perspective on sex.

    • @CBrantleylmft
      @CBrantleylmft 4 месяца назад

      I appreciate your comment. I would teach my child that God created sex for marriage. I would tell him that is it not appropriate to masturbate. The culture is going to send him a different message and he will probably masturbate. But he will know that is masturbating against what you approve of. Just like when you tell your child anything else that is right. They may still do it, but at least you gave them the truth. But I would not tell him what your husband wants to tell him. Whether or not it is self-abuse is irrelevant to a child. Just share the truth you know...you dont have to make it scary or worst than it already is. Hope this helps!

    I’m an attractive female, 49 and he’s 55, fit and healthy. I desire sex way more than he does. I don’t initiate and he knows I have a higher appetite for sex than he does. He initiates once every two or three weeks, which leaves me very frustrated and I feel undesired by him. He says that he is attracted to me, but then why the low desire for me? Our relationship is perfect for us both, and we are wonderfully compatible, other than this.

    • @sam56094

      I understand your frustration, but It’s so funny cause majority of men who don’t care or initiate for some reason their wife always say they feel undesired but the men who are natural in their desire to always want sex always get the women who never initiates , I think humans are just selfish and want what they can’t have , maybe you should try doing what majority of the women are doing in the comment section and don’t initiate , it will be very hard but look at it as you passing a self challenge, and if he still doesn’t care , there’s your answer , do you want to stay and keep being frustrated or move on , cause now you know your deal breaker and could possible have someone who matches that drive and still loves you .
