A Different Sort of Trouble
It seems, however, that as relationships mature, the trouble with girls is that they seem to stop wanting sex. Marriage does not necessarily exacerbate this but parenthood certainly seems to. Mums are 'too tired'.
I came to fatherhood late in life (40s) and have seen many of my friends go through this. Now I am in the same situation I have some empathy with them. A friend recently told me that he had heard on the radio that a woman's libido declines during a relationship while the male's stays the same, inevitably causing conflct. He gave his personal opinion that the woman's libido becomes none existent and you need an ice axe to break through the frozen outer surface. He’s clearly having a hard time.
I also read some research recently which confirmed a view I have long held that there is a gene code that kicks in to stop a woman's libido once she has given up having children. This is to protect the current crop of youngsters. You see it in the animal world, lions for example, where the female is very grumpy and aggressive towards males until her cubs have left. Then she lifts her tail and takes it from behind like a good girl. Of course, in the human species, by the time the offspring have cleared off the parents are far too gone to bother.
When my wife read Fifty Shades of Grey, I was hopeful that she might be interested in more adventurous sex but she still refuses to be spanked. I have heard men say that women subconsciously use sex as a bartering mechanism. That makes blokes like prisoners on restriction of priveledges and unless we empty the bin, hoover the lounge, make lunch, rub feet (the list is long) there's no chance.
Oh well, time for late night movies.
