There seem to be so many guys on this site who are in sexless marriages and I have to ask you, why the fuck do you stay in it? Are you happy? Because it sure as hell doesn't sound like it. Life is too short to spend with someone who isn't interested in you. So please, explain it to me. Why the fuck would you subject yourself to that?

Usually because of a number...50%

I do love her - and the number 50 is a tough one as well as the collateral damage (kids, grandkids....) It's a choice I'm making that isn't easy but I'm content without the sex.

There is more to a marriage than sex.
Why it is sexless is a much much more important question. There could be health reasons, people work different schedules, lives are ridiculously busy these days. It can often have nothing to do with caring about and loving the other person. It not just about wanting it...it's not that simple in most cases.

I was in a sexless marriage for more than 10 years. The primary reason living in California where she would receive at least fifty percent of my pensions. So masturbation was my main sexual outlet.

I do love her very much and I really can't see my self with out her. My fleshlight and I are a aquinted but would like to play with a buddies cock every once in a while...

If we split, I would lose half my pension and financial assets, access to my child, and my beautiful home on a pond in the woods. Besides, who says I would get much sex afterward: I am 62. At a certain point in your life, you have to let some things go and count your blessings. Masturbating online is a Godsend and a blessing.

I prefer jacking to sex, so it's not that big a deal.

As others have said, 50%....and not seeing my child every day. If we could just part ways and be friends, I'd do it in a heartbeat. We simply have nothing in common.

Some may not agree with this but it works great. I am in same situation. Im 45 and my wife 46, I love her very much but she is just not interested in sex at all and I am not the kind of person to bug her about it, I just handle life how I need to. We are a business owner and very in to our work and home. We are more like best friends/companions, were not intimate or clingy on each other, both are independent, and both in it for the future and the rest of our lives. in my case im not a person controlled by pussy, which means I don't get all pissy when I don't get it. I do how ever have a best friend that's a woman, and shes married also, known her for many years ( I have friends that are women and my wife has no problem that I hang out with my women friends) So anyway, I have this best fiend and we fuck evey once and a while, one a month at the most. We have no hang ups on each other and have no interest in leaving our marrages. She loves her husband,and does have sex with him regularly, but needs crazy hard different sex once and a while, so we accommodate our selves very well. Yah I know it may be looked at as wrong but it works great for us and nothing ever changes in either house hold, were both very happy and treat our spouses extremely great. So in my case ive adapted and it works great in a sexless marrage.

Be there, done that once before. The number is the reason and it will work out to be a hell of a lot more than 50 percent. More like your out the door with your underware and get to pay spousal support for the rest of your life.

If you can keep this arrangement it's ideal. I had it with an exGF for several years. We'd get together once a month or so to fuck. Somehow we'd both married boring people. She ended up moving away and I found another woman on Ashley Madison who I fucked regularly. That's when the danger started. She started telling me she loved me and wanting to "spend time together" outside of our sexual relationship. She wanted to go out in public together. I tried to put an end to it and she got really upset. So much so I was afraid she was going to tell my wife.

Honestly, pussy just isn't worth the drama. I love it, but a good jerk off and I'm just as happy. My balls don't know the difference one they are empty.

I hear ya on that SloStroker, that kind of situation would be big trouble!!! So far so good with my friend, its been about 5 years. Other than that im just fine with stroking to =)

I understand if there are health issues involved, but womaen marry for a variety of reasons including companionship, and wanting kids. Men marry to have a regualar sex partner. so its tough on us guys if we don't get it regularly. Why do guys remain in a sexless marriage? Part is the trauma and economics of divorce but I stayed with mine through some tough sexual times for one reason: for any faults she has, I'm in love with her, have been since I saw her and still am.

I totally agree. 62 here also and wife of many years is not interested anymore. Divorce would be very destructive to the whole family not to mention the financial disaster.
Masturbating to titties and asses, whether they be hot chicks, milfs or grannies can and is better than sex with a disinterested woman.

I sit here naked sometimes camming with other buds to hot porn, edging, talking as nasty as I have ever been able to and sharing intense sexual feelings with buds. This has gone on for hours. Try that with a woman who puts out only a couple times a year and wants it over quickly so she can wash that terrible sperm off herself.

I am happy with my new online sex life as well as occasional meetups with buds for sucking and masturbating together. Never thought I would enjoy sucking a cock but man - it is awesome!

I am not married, but have been withy my girl for almost ten years. She had cancer some years ago and after everything, she doesn't have much of a sex drive. I love her so much and we are excellent companions, plus the sex is good when it does happen, it's just not enough for me. So that's the main reason I don't want to marry her, because I don't want to lock myself into a sexless marriage. It sounds awful to actually type that. And it's hard to talk about it with her, because it's not how she wants it to be either, she gets really upset obviously. It's really hard, but we're working on it. I think things COULD get better, or else maybe we could work into some kind of open relationship arrangement or maybe we'll break up, I don't know. But I want to stay, so....
