According to the prevailing stereotype, a man who is healthy both sexually and psychologically is simply obliged to spend most of his time thinking about closeness with the one he has chosen as his companion. Faced with the opposite situation, women, instead of understanding the true causes of the spouseâs coldness, sharply fall into self-criticism or attack the beloved with reproaches. Both that, and another in the relations are inadmissible and demands obligatory permission. Why does the husband not want sex, and how to revive interest in him again?
Lack of desire in the nature of relationships
It is very difficult to assess the real sexual state of a man during the period when he is in love, and each touch of the chosen one causes a storm of emotions in him. The euphoria, brightness and freshness of sensations on average lasts for young spouses from one to three years, after which there comes a natural decline in sexual sensuality. By this, nature itself, as it were, indicates the need for restructuring the model of relations of spouses in favor of socialization and strengthening the cell of society, concentration of forces on the education of offspring.
This difficult period of decline in sexual activity is indicated by another characteristic moment - the awakening and activation of subconscious desires, which until now have been under the spell of constantly maintained excitement from the proximity of a partner. If earlier some sharp angles in relations were smoothed out by idealization of a loved one and unwillingness to spoil one anotherâs mood, now a person has a need to find out his meaning outside the family sphere, the priority of âpeace for peaceâ at home recedes.
All these manifestations are absolutely normal, but resentment and thirst to feel in the first place again hinder the woman from looking at the situation with a âsoberâ look. "Why does the husband not want me?" she asks, and beautiful underwear, aphrodisiacs and other attempts to return "everything as it was."
In part, these are the right decisions and a much better option to come to a mutual understanding than scandals and showdowns. However, wise women will begin to look for the cause of the problem, why the husband does not want to sleep with her, beyond the boundaries of primitive sensuality - in the field of self-affirmation and the external causes of the changed condition of the man.
Reason for pregnancy
Pregnancy of a wife, even if her onset was desired, is a serious stress for a man. "Why does the husband not want me during pregnancy?" - Women ask, and the answer to this question may be one of the following options:
- Fear of harming beloved and baby by careless actions during sex.
- Rejection of the new look of the wife due to the deterioration of her appearance.
- An attempt to avoid rejection if the woman has repeatedly responded with irritation to a proposal for intimacy.
Most often, the reason why the husband does not want to make love with his pregnant wife is the first situation - the fear of provoking a premature birth or hurting her. Representatives of the fair sex with a low level of libido are often happy with this situation and even begin to artificially warm up the anxieties of a man, however, such tactics then go sideways to both spouses.
After some time, the husband ceases to perceive the partner as a woman, and in his understanding, she becomes just the mother of their common child. The restored health of the wife after childbirth does not change anything significant in this matter, since the very essence of intimacy, the psychological closeness, has already disappeared from the relationship. It will be possible to return it only with the help of a family psychologist and only with the mutual desire of both partners.
It is within the womanâs power to prevent the collapse of the marital union due to lack of intimacy, because there are quite safe ways to satisfy a partnerâs sexual desire without risking pregnancy, for example, using oral caresses or a âsidewaysâ pose.
Kid in the house
Why does the husband not want intimacy with his wife after childbirth? Despite the apparent absurdity of this statement, psychologically, some men perceive the baby as a rival in the struggle for the attention of the woman he loves. This happens when, before the birth, the spouse motherly took care of the faithful, looked after him as a child, and with the birth of the baby she transferred all attention to him.
The familiar notions of the husband-owner collapse, burying sexual desires beneath them. He ceases to perceive the female body as that which belongs entirely to him, and may even begin to dislike his wife. Especially if you often observe the procedure of breastfeeding. The situation is aggravated by the fact that during the period of postpartum depression, a woman ceases to monitor herself with the same thoroughness as before: she does not complicate herself with cosmetic manipulations, she tries to dress easier and is generally âdomesticatedâ.
Special attention deserves the presence of her husband in childbirth. The trendy trend now is completely devoid of a healthy psychological justification. Of course, in the presence of a loved one, a woman feels more secure, but the risk of forever losing her sexual partner in the face of her spouse should outweigh her internal comfort considerations.
Mistakes of young parents
"Why does the husband not want me after childbirth?" - Psychologists hear and at the same time they see a worn out woman with circles under her eyes and casually dressed in front of her. âWould you like yourself?â - I want to ask in response, but in response I have to clarify the truths that a man with a baby is no easier than a woman, and he also needs the support of a second half. In addition, experiencing the same difficulties with decreasing sleep time, inability to eat calmly, etc., the man is still forced to go to work and carry out labor activities at the same or even fast pace.
Ideally, the child should unite the spouses, make them even more dependent (in a positive sense) on each other and give the relationship a new taste. Only with the advent of the first-born can a love union be called complete and fulfilled, but in reality this fact is more often seen as an obstacle to the manifestation of conjugal feelings.
Why does a husband not want a wife after childbirth? Because she herself, first of all, ceases to feel like a woman and all goes into motherhood. The husband is given the unenviable role of the eternal supplicant and observer, despite the fact that his physiological needs only increase after a long pause of abstinence (sometimes lasting up to 3 months).
Psychologists' recommendations
So, the main reason why the husband does not want intimacy with his wife after the birth of the child is the incorrect placement of emphasis by both young parents to the detriment of sexual relations. Mom seeks to give the baby 24 hours a day, and dad has no choice but to put up with it and gradually reduce the position of its importance in the family.
Psychologists argue that the problems of lack of time and attention may not arise at all, if you follow simple recommendations:
- the dad should have several responsibilities for caring for the baby, for which he alone is responsible (buying diapers, changing the diaper before going to bed, warming up the âeveningâ bottle of food);
- the mother needs to leave the baby with her father at least for 30-40 minutes a day, without interfering in the process of their communication with her comments or advice;
- if young parents have close relatives who are ready to sit with the baby, the spouses need to at least occasionally arrange romantic dates or just a joint holiday.
At first, after lifting the medical ban on sex, a woman is better to take the initiative in bed, since the man is subconsciously afraid of hurting his wife for a long time after giving birth. Occasionally, young mothers are even willing to make sacrifices, allowing her husband to be earlier than the end of a month and a half recovery period, but they should only do this if they feel well and must use lubricants.
The reason is husband's infidelity
"Why does the husband not want me? Maybe he has an affair" on the side "?" Another situation: the husband comes home and not only does not try to molest his wife, but, on the contrary, in every possible way avoids communicating with her. Sometimes he even goes to bed in another room, eats alone, tries to catch less eye contact. Unfortunately, almost always the totality of these signs indicates that the man satisfies his sexual needs in the society of his mistress, and this connection has gone so far that it is no longer necessary to hide the obvious symptoms of betrayal.
Few wives can forgive adultery, but there can be no other successful solution to this problem. If a woman still loves her husband and is ready to wait while he is âpumping up,â then in 70% of cases, her expectation is rewarded with the complete return of the traitor to the bosom of the family. But what exactly should not be done is to try to "negotiate" with a rival. Such steps towards the object of love by a man are perceived very aggressively, which at times reduces the possibility of family reunion subsequently.
Stress and Routine
Perhaps the main reason why the husband does not want to have sex or has ceased to be active in bed is the monotony of the sex life of the spouses. The phrase that âa man loves to win ...â has a continuation: â... and receive a reward for this,â therefore, a woman should be careful to sometimes seize the initiative and reward a tired missus for his everyday exploits.
Fatigue may be of a different nature. Sometimes this is the result of strong moral pressure, financial setbacks or other problems that exhaust a man and take away all his strength. Often mixed with this is a sense of guilt before the spouse for deceived hopes, and a man who is depressed by all this actually loses the ability to relax.
Psychologists recommend that women in any case - in the absence of sex or in its boring monotony - to abandon the usual patterns and learn to surprise their man. Surprise generates curiosity, intrigue excites, and if you invite your spouse to also participate in a double performance, where he will be assigned the role of a passive participant, then he will receive great pleasure, even being very tired.
Wrong woman behavior
Another reason why the husband does not want a wife, according to psychologists, is hidden in the unwillingness of sexual relations by the woman herself. It seems to her husband that she needs to look tidy, keep herself and her house in order to by default close her husbandâs sexual attention to her person, and when this does not happen, insults and proceedings follow. âI donât feel the need for intimacy, but Iâm afraid that the reason my husband doesnât want me is because he is on the side,â this is what experts sometimes hear.
But men are like children. If they feel that their sexual desires are accepted without enthusiasm or, conversely, that their capabilities are behind the level of inquiry, they will prefer to hide and pretend that all this does not concern them. In other words, they get so used to the fact that no matter how hard you try, it still doesnât work out as it should, that itâs easier for them to completely abandon sex than to always act as excuses.
Approximately the same picture emerges when a spouse openly manipulates her bed life, ârewardingâ her husband with sex only when he âdeserves itâ. For a man, such âsexual bookkeepingâ is a serious blow to self-esteem, which he may not endure. Refusal of intimacy at the same time is the mildest version of male protest. In a huge number of cases, the husband simply finds a more accommodating girlfriend or finds solace in alcohol.
The reason is an age-related decline in sexual activity.
There may be so many reasons why the husband does not want intimacy that it is unlikely that it will be possible to resolve all doubts without a sensitive conversation. However, it is not a fact that the man honestly admits that he is really worried, and it is better for a woman to rely on her inner insight and observation.
Age is one of the criteria that should be relied upon when making primary conclusions. After 35 years, a man experiences less need for a frequency of sexual intercourse, but he can do it better, paying much more attention to satisfy his beloved.
Starting from this period, a man may experience phenomena of anorgasmia, to which representatives of the stronger sex react very painfully. If a partner has become less likely to initiate intimate encounters after several cases of lack of ejaculation, then the question of why the husband does not want intimacy can be considered idle - he is simply afraid of another failure.
The duties of a loving wife include alleviating the level of anxiety of a loved one and psychological support in the form of understating the problem and exaggerating the significance of other merits. Compliments directed to the husbandâs appearance, his masculinity, and sexuality will be more useful to say.
Since by the age of 40, a manâs whole life is being rebuilt in a qualitative way, a good wife (even if she is much younger) will have to accept new conditions and find herself out of the frequent demands of sex. A successful decision for this period will be the revival of romantic relationships between partners: dates, pleasant trips, trips to the theater.
Conclusion
To stop wondering over and over again the question: âWhy does my husband not want me?â, Enough, according to experts, once to look at yourself from the side. Is a woman always requiring a spouseâs increased attention to her person, well-groomed, smells good, is in high spirits? Or is the spouse obliged to be in eternal alert, regardless of the quality of the spectacle presented to him?
If you notice that sex life has become fresh or even less and less reminiscent of yourself, donât ask about the reason why your husband doesnât want love pleasures, but take care of yourself, say sexologists. A man will surely notice the result, no matter how much the family problem is launched, but you do not need to demand this attention, or even less to list all the points of the effort. By the way, itâs just the efforts in this matter and most importantly, behind them the woman does not have enough time for self-searching and depression, and by default she becomes attractive to her partner.
It is as if by chance to regain sexual attractiveness, not for the sake of a man (in any case, he should think that way), but for his own sake - it means capturing his attention. This is an axiom. And if the family has not reached the end of the relationship, and the whole problem was sexual cooling on the part of the partner, own rebooting will almost certainly revive the psychological closeness between the spouses and give the relationship a second chance.
