:-) The open relationship is only fantasy. We did try it at one point. In short, it was a disaster. Took years for us to recover from that. So no, I am not the open relationship guy and she is not the open relationship gal.

As far as Monica Belucci goes... and open relationship status aside, my wife and I both have our "lists." It's basically a free pass list. If a person on that list wants to have sex with one of us then that person is free to do so. Now again it's just fantasy but it's fun! Because really, you never know when Hugh Jackman is going to knock on the door (he's on her list.)

Good stuff in here, fellas. I have to ask, though, are you expressing these thoughts and this side of yourself freely to your wife? I know sex droughts are a big topic, and I feel that my wife is more attracted to me when I openly express myself raw and uncut, and push my "agenda" without worrying about offending her or asking permission. I've found that it pays to not edit yourself for her sake in many situations because it allows you to be a man and lead instead of follow.

BM, I can honestly say my wife and I do. We have talked about fantasies, even the deep dark ones, affairs, boundaries, you name it. She likes the sharing, I like the sex! And I love her.

Great stuff! I think that's the key. Your wife may or may not be an exception, but I find that a lot of women have hangups and need a guy to "let them off the hook" by being the aggressive overtly sexual one, so that she doesn't have to feel self conscious or like a wh*re, because her husband is already a horn dog lol. And that in turn opens the lines of communication for her to embrace her inner wh*re.

My wife was pissed at me the other night so she makes a comment

When you're looking for sex or get sex you're nice and sweet and caring.

When you don't get sex then you're pissy, moody and a pain.

Well, PUT 2 and 2 together DAMMIT!

Get sex = greatest husband

Don't get sex = crabby, moody husband.

All I need is 20-30 minutes and you get the greatest husband in the world!

Also when I'm watching sports on TV and you're yapping and I have to kindly ask to you please let me finish this and I'll get what you need done...

What I really mean is STFU!

Just calling it like I see it.
Wasn't attacking. Was curious.
It was irrelevant, but so was asking Entropy how many women he's laid.
I get sidetracked sometimes.

You have been affected by infidelity I presume? It's a lousy feeling.
This wasn't a thread started with some secret purpose.
Basically I want to know what men think. Do I bring stereotypes and negative experiences or beliefs to the table? Yes, and i do have my baggage.

No, havent been affected by infidelity.

I am trying my hardest to learn what is being said on here. Some of these things are completely new to me.

I knew men love sex. i did not know they felt unloved when they dont get it. Good to know, i wont forget.

Thanks, guys!

It's completely true. I know my wife loves me in my head... I just can't feel it in my heart if we've been too long w/o sex. I know in my head that it shouldn't be that way, but in my heart I can't help feel distant, unloved, unlovable, unwanted, etc.

Seems like such an easy thing to fix to keep the marital bliss going, though.
I am relieved, actually.

Then you could not have read His Needs Her Needs and misssed this. It most common for men's #1 and #2 needs to be:

Sexual Fullfillment and Respect. Not all men are the same but this is very common.

Many say that men connect with a woman via sex. I agree. Some say that woman have to connect ot have sex.

HNHN is worth a read even if you do not agree with all of it.

So perhaps this is an elaborate ruse by my wife.

All I can say was that it was NOT irrelevant to those women.
