Control, Sex and Intimacy

Yea we should all just sit around being miserable, it's the intelligent thing to do. Use said misery to assert your superiority over those taken in by pleasures of the flesh

Haha, don’t worry about me H. Happily married, with an active and healthy sex life, here. Few kids, and all.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, I know. A few angry lads, out there, prefer to play on computers and “give out” about women all day but there’s not a lot we can do about that.

They’re in a sort of “Catch-22” where they desperately want a girlfriend but their abhorrent personalities keep all women away from them.

Sad, really.

I knew a lady who took the "Horn of Africa" up wrong once

She couldn't walk for a week afterwards.

Perhaps it was the OP's missus and that was why she was withholding

Own fault if you accept such form of punishment and play along with the power play..

In pretty much every sexless marriage I've heard or read about (including countless ones in PI/RI over the years), the issue was there pretty much from the get-go.

The lesson here is not to marry someone you're sexually incompatible with. It never ceases to amaze me how many people do this, for some reason thinking a ring will magically make everything better.

That's not sex education, it's common sense, imo.

Am I missing the point here? What does this have to do with marriage vs non marriage?

OP, a fine gentleman by the name of Patrice O'neal has the answers to all of your relationship questions.

If I recall correctly his advice on this topic was to be very passive indeed, and ignore the issue almost completely.

I would take that advice. Just start going out at random times to random places and don't address the issue with the terrorist in question. We do not negotiate with terrorists.

The only winning move is to not play.
