Let me start this post off by admitting I know less than Jon Snow when it comes to most things so please take what I am about to write with more than a few grains of salt. What do I know? I can’t pretend to understand your particular relationship – I just have a few thoughts about the subject.
Might I also start by adding that I have equal respect for men and women. The older I get the more I understand the complexities of relationships. I have far too much to say on the subject considering I am single AF. I have had long relationships though so bear with me here … I have something to say.
Let’s delve into my own particular marriage so you understand that of which I speak. I never once said no to my husband but I never once initiated sex. I couldn’t have cared less for sex. And yet. He was an incredible lover. He really was. And truly, he was a good man but the thing he lacked is what I would imagine most men and women lack – initiative.
Why didn’t I want to have sex? I was tired – all the time. I can’t tell you how exhausted I was – all the time. The last thing I thought about was sex. Had I known then what I have learned now – things could have been a lot different. If he had only held my face between his hands and kissed me hard until my legs buckled – I would have been his. I would have got on my knees and taken him in my mouth. I would have bent over backwards and begged him to fuck me – harder longer more more more.
Why didn’t he? I would venture his fear of being rejected probably played into it somewhat. Not ever saying no is very different from even once saying YES! I emasculated him. Once I realised he was going to accept that submissive role in our relationship, perhaps that sealed our fate. I don’t know. He might have a very different answer.
It has started me on this road of redemption really. What I would do to keep you guys in a healthy sexual relationship with your woman. What I am about to write might be a little controversial and we both know that I could well be wrong, most likely am – don’t pay me no nevermind.
I am going to tell you men that we women want to remind you that you are a fucking man so start behaving like it. This woman wants to feel your power. You do have the power. Use it. Women do not want or need it. We already know who we are. All powerful. I wish I had some women to bounce this revelation off with.
Please note : I am writing this to those men who have accepted their fate – a shitty sexual relationship whether caused by menopause or habit. When it comes to the seduction of your woman I by no means want you to imagine coercion being a party to it. Pull me. Don’t push me. Do you get the difference?
When a woman feels safe – when she isn’t carrying the weight of the world – she will give herself fully. Always feeling like I had to be in control was such a terrible feeling borne from feeling he couldn’t provide stability and security. The very least I would expect from my man is financial security.
Hard Truth : Weak men create masculine women. Strong men create feminine women.
Anyway, I am still pondering the issue so more thoughts will follow no doubt. If you would like to add to the conversation, please do. xx
