ugh. i know. but i really do believe in marriage as a principle. i'm 40 and this is my first marriage. i waited this long exactly because i didn't want to have a failed marriage. ever. damned if i stay. damned if i go. isn't love grand? :(
Best of luck to you, but her attitude toward sex seems indicative of a willingness to manipulate. I am probably a jaded old fart, but it seems kinda ominous to me.

Narcissus & Don, you need to just break the wrist and then walk away. Break the wrist, walk away.'Cause you're not Sativa Rose, darling. And at least the men still have their dignity.Damn straight. One chick I nearly got married to, once I met her mother, I got the fcuk out. Her mother made her father wait until marriage for sex, then shelled out three daughters and a son in the space of 5 years. Then the guy left her after that because she wasn't putting out. She also referred to sex as "marriage duties". Fcuk that for a game of soldiers. In my narrow mind, women have it stitched up. To me, it's always felt like she's putting out for my sake, and I've always felt that I'm giving her love and intimacy for her sake. I don't get sex unless there's love and intimacy and crap first, and I've often given her all that and didn't get nowt in return. Call it fcuked up if you will, because that's what it is. I guess it's the eons old vicious cycle; men use love & money to get sex, women use sex to get love & money. Butt then again... I had my fun and that's all that matters.

Jesus, this is a fucked up thread, I've been with the same woman for over 10 years now and we love each other and still have great sex. I don't buy that most men just want sex, not love, although there are some men (and women) like that, they tend to be emotionally callous in many ways. I don't look down on those who don't need to be in a monogamous relationship, but notice that often they are quick to dismiss the possibility that it does work for others.

You're right. Of course you are. And there are also women who want sex, not love. It's just I haven't met on of those yet. Well, I have, butt nowt happened due to various anomalies. Personally, I think I need a chick who has sex for the love of it, I don't care if she uses me for it, because that's what I want. I've been around long enough to know that an emotionally fragile woman who mostly has sex as a result of love & intimacy and obligation to "marriage duties", is not for me.
Most men I know find it hard to get a bit of nookie from their wives when they want it. The women are in control because its usually men that want sex. I would be very surprised if many men could honestly say that they can have sex with their wives when they want it. In my experience and from talking to other men I think that in general women are all up for it when they are courting, but once they have their first child they turn off sex. But I think that once husbands agree to "pay" for sex, then it is a down hill slide and the woman will always want payment. Regards Digby

I wonder... do they just change somehow, or is it all done on purpose?

This reminds me of a joke. A guy who has lots of money wonders if there is a food that acts as an aphrodisiac for women. He donates a grant to the local university with the stipulation that the funds are to be used for research into foods that might make women horny so to speak. A couple of months goes by and the guy visits the research department and talks with the head of the project. 'Well, have you found a food that gets women ready for action?' 'Actually, no. What we did find was a food that gets women completely turned off to sex most of the time.' 'Gee, what would that food be?' 'It's called wedding cake.' I thought we needed some humor. Any lady who puts a price on physical intimacy with her husband can't have much of a spiritual, mental, or emotional intimacy going with him either. It has to be a sign of something far worse than a reluctance to maintain a viable marital relationship. I've talked to a few men who cheated on their wives and a couple are serial philanderers who'd cheat no matter what but most shake their heads sadly and say their wives didn't want sex often and they were forced to find it somewhere else. On the good news front I watched the Superbowl with Don and his new girlfriend and she's a sweetheart. It looks like he found a fine lady and he deserves the happiness.

Sure, it's OK for her to do that but by the same token, using this rule, if he doesn't like the quality of what he is getting he should be able to take his business elsewhere. Go for it!

My sister married an asshole. she finally kicked him out. My niece had no problem coming home from college and finding me and my sister in bed together. me and my sister: it was love and my sister is still hot.
Let's not slide too far into the "poor frustrated husbands" thing here. Men have done a lot of bullshit that pound women's sexuality into dust. Including pounding women's sexuality into dust. If your relationship is broken, the first thing you must do if you want change in it is to change yourself.
Here's what I don't get: All the money my wife and I have is shared. Joint savings, joint checking, joint investment accounts, etc. If I pay my wife for sex, then I'm not paying. She can spend as much of our money as she wants to, anyway. So if my wife got off on the idea of making me pay her for sex, why the fuck not? Sounds like fun to me. I could pay her to wear all kinds of kinky shit that she's usually too shy to put on. I could pay to tie her up and eat her cunt for hours. Ass to pussy? Ass to mouth? Ass to pussy to ass to mouth? How much? Maybe I could pay one of her girlfriends, too. Wife, mother, whore. I like the sound of that.
and what if she didn't "get off"? What if she just "put up" with it? What if she was just "grinning and bearing it"? What if she dissassociated and disconnected from you and from herself in order to get this money?
You'd have to have low self-esteem and a lack of self-confidence to take that kind of thing personally. In the meantime, why not have a few laughs at her expense while you're waiting for the divorce papers to come through?
It sounds to me as though the wife has an impish sense of humour. I don't think she is doing anything wrong: it's just her way of teasing her husband. All sexual partners need to be teased. Jennie
Sex is pretty important in a marriage in my opinion. I think it's kind of fun when the woman does this spontaneously.... like she's so happy about what you did that she drops down and sucks a nut out. Or she sometimes uses a blowjob to shut you up or manipulate you some other way.... BUT, to make this type of "quid pro quo" the BASIS of one's sex life is just sick, nothing fancier. The woman's attitude is one of a prostitute where above what I describe is just another facet of a multi-layered sex life (multi-layered is best... it can't be the same shit all the time, prostitution or otherwise). I think a woman using sex against a man is really no different than a man being violent to a woman-he is using HIS advantage, which is strength in most cases.... I bet that may sound wacky to you... but it's true, both sexes have physical advantages... this woman using HER advantage clearly HURT this man. So why is it different if a man uses HIS advantage to hurt her? If she's gonna act like a hooker, why can't he act like a caveman? lol. I pity women who think like this as ultimately it indicates they have no sex drive, that they are fake people (fake sex is a sign of a much deeper problem), and they are not in touch with themselves or their lovers... how sad.
Teasing is wonderful. But the story makes it clear that their sex life is one of "sex for payment". That is not teasing, that is sick. Again, if it is MIXED IN, or a FEATURE of the sex life... no big deal, yes I'd call that "teasing" and plenty of fun, nothing wrong with it. But it is clear the woman described just views sex as a tool to use men. Sex between 2 HEALTHY people (who are together by choice) is mutually beneficial by its own accord. There should be no obligation unless it truly is prostitution. Frankly, if I was that guy, I'm sure I'd have divorced her the second I realized how twisted she was... OR I'd have acted twisted back, like maybe come up and jerk off on her face every time she was sleeping and then fix myself a sandwich. Yes,... that might make her reconsider what the sexual roles of partners are SUPPOSED to be lol.
EDIT: Or better yet... tell her I was always broke and open a secret bank account (clearly she's not my partner, so I should behave like a JOHN would, hey, I'm not her husband who she loves, I'm just a f'n CUSTOMER lol) and then just go to strip clubs and YES pay REAL hookers who are GOOD at it.... maybe save up and hire 3 at a time.... gee, maybe bring them home and fuck them... I mean, the wife in this scenario is more like a call girl roommate right? So she shouldn't care - as long as she doesn't have to fuck me I'm sure she'd be happy lol.... Frankly, there are so many good responses to a foolish woman like that it's too easy and if that guy didn't REACT (appropriately) to her behavior, then maybe he deserved it. I for one wouldn't put up with twisted bullshit like that. Quid Pro Quo indeed... one good mind f**k deserves another folks. Edited by - seedfeeder on 12/21/2009 2:35:40 PM
Well... wasn't that a REAL professional transaction? Marriage is not, that is why kirby. And I'd say BOTH people in such a situation are pathetic. A woman is pathetic if she treats her husband like a john / customer. A man is pathetic if lacks the self respect so badly that he puts up with it and stays. Perhaps you don't see the other side of it because you do this too lol. To that all I can say is this: Even serial killers think they are "normal". Anyone can justify anything if they so choose... but that doesn't mean it is right or okay.
See, that's fine... hell, if I was single and some girl offered me 11k for a fuck, I'd prolly do it too! But only a moron would pay that much for sex lol. But note the difference: You are strangers, not lovers. Lovers demanding payment for sex is nothing short of GROSS.
Precisely. It is sick, twisted, self absorbed people that use sex as a weapon. And let's just examine that shall we? When is it OKAY to use sex as a weapon? Hmm, here are the types of things that come to mind: 1/ I'm okay with the Vietnamese woman who shoves razor blades into an orange and stuffs it up her coochie so that when a GI rapes her, he gets a penis puzzle... ya, I'm okay with that type of sex as a weapon in that circumstance. I'm okay with women using sex in the corporate world (formerly a MAN's world) to get ahead.... and so on. I'm okay with a chick on the show survivor manipulating a man or men to get ahead and win the cash... Note, these are all cases of STRANGERS... nothing wrong with that. Hardly comparable to a marriage. So the relationship is money for sex my friend? Then turn the tables. If you control the cash, she has now offered you an implicit contract... she should only get cash for sex. This also means YOU should control some of the pricing... thus NEGOTIATE!!! "$20 for a blowjob? I don't think so, not unless you learn how to deep throat and gargle my cum... then I'd pay $20 and if you don't spill a drop I'll even tip you an extra $5 honey :)" She wants to act like a back alley bar hooker? Then treat her like one lol. So you can certainly play her stupid game and play it better than she... odds are she isn't that bright anyway to come up with a marriage plan like this anyway. Whatever game she is playing, it is a POWER game. So play it better, it's not hard. All you need to do is understand a person and their motivations and you can beat them at their own game quite easily. I've never seen a game from a woman that could not be used against her. Don't despair... you have just as much power as she, so USE IT.
Fair enough and true enough. So on that note I would play devil's advocate against my other comments: Let's say he's a lousy lover. Like she sucks him off but he never eats her out.... I'm okay with her cutting off the blowjobs until he rips his tongue a few times and gets things "mutual" again. Or let's say he can't get her off, because he's a selfish lover... well, then I think she has good motivation for asking for something since clearly the sex is not "mutually beneficial". BUT, I don't think that is what is going on here. I think she's taking advantage of him and that's wrong and messed up. I agree, he should change himself: He should fight back or leave, but no way in hell should he accept this type of behavior.. let some other idiot have that girl I say, there's plenty of good ones out there that believe in fairness and love and friendship and thus make wonderful wives.
