 |
|
It's official, men are not interested in sex.
| Quote: | Increasing numbers of middle-aged men are going off sex, according to relationship experts.
Counselling and sex therapy charity Relate says it has seen a 40 per cent increase in men who simply cannot be bothered to make love to their wives and partners.
The findings are a world away from just ten years ago, when hardly any men contacted them with a loss of libido. The main sufferers who call its helpline with the problem are generally aged between 30 and 50 and are married.
Peter Bell, Relate’s head of practice, said: “Men used to come to us with impotence – now known as erectile insufficiency – but Viagra has sorted some of that problem. What we have is a lot of men who say, as women did in the 1950s: 'I can have sex but I do not want to. It’s not rewarding’. |

Well, the solution seems obvious to me.....find a man younger than 30 or over 50.

I've confused myself! 
I was reading an article on the internet last night about the fact that research shows that men between the ages of 30 and 50 are no longer interested in sex.
I copied and pasted some of the article and posted link. I have no idea why my post is empty and now I can't find the article.
Have to go to work now but will try searching for the article later.

Phew! I'm not going mad. I've found the article. 
Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason it will not allow me to post either the link or copy and paste the article itself.
I will keep trying. |

OK it's allowed to quote from the article, now I'll try poating the link separately. |

This is the best I can manage it will not allow use of the url button and only part of the link is highlighted.......I have no idea why.
Anyhoo, you get the gist of the story. |

I had this problem with several of your posts yesterday, VG. However, I figured you must have posted something, so I hit the Quote button, and when that came up, I could read them there.
Weird, though!!! |

Very weird!
Obviously I'm going to have to check all my posts from yesterday to see what's missing.

| Interesting. Are there any married men between the ages of 30 and 50 who post on here that can verify or debunk this tidbit of information? |

Well, I think I can definitely say, without fear of contraception, that this is total hogwash! I've been able to have sex every other month since I was 30, and I still get the occasional frisson of excitement whenever I see a nicely-turned ankle! So no loss of libido there!

 Without fear of contraception you say? So you have a free and excited willy. Good for you. |
