Sex is therapy Good sex is medicine. Men need good sex to live healthy.

A husband wanting sexual access to his wife is not some vulgar surprise add-on. It is one of the most natural and foundational expectations of marriage.

Lack of sex in the marriage destroys the marriage; there is nothing on earth that can cover that void. Lack of sex brings resentment Lack of sex brings hatred Lack of sex brings poverty/hardship Lack of sex brings cheating/betrayal Lack of sex brings constant quarrels Lack of sex brings unnecessary disagreements/arguments The day your spouse starts denying you sex or rejecting you constantly, this simply means the person has checked out emotionally, mentally and sexually and there is nothing you can do to change it. You can't be comfortable sharing it while dating and restricting it in marriage; it's an abomination. HeartMattaz

Sex is the one thing that separates your wife or girlfriend from every other relationship in your life. Without it, you have a coparent. A roommate. A business partner. A friend. But sex is what makes it romantic. It’s what makes it exclusive. It’s what makes it yours. And when that part of the relationship is strong, everything else tends to get stronger too. Couples who are deeply connected sexually are usually more patient, more playful, more united, and more willing to work as a team. They handle stress better. They resolve conflict better. They parent better. They enjoy each other more. A strong sex life does not fix everything. But a dead one quietly breaks more than people want to admit. It matters that much.

@MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband My neighbour paid 67p and less than a week ( last Tuesday) later I paid 96p

Just got off the phone after @Ed_Miliband called to discuss in detail the problems people are facing with domestic energy bills and heating oil. Here's what I fed through - your feedback would be useful... 1. HEATING OIL: This is the most immediate concern as many, often in rural areas or N. Ireland, are refuelling their tanks. Prices have rocketed, a few even suggest they've nearly doubled in a week. My biggest concerns are... a) Those who can't afford the new price b) Lack of specific regulation as heating oil isn't covered by Ofgem (though that's a longer-term issue) c) Some have anecdotally reported existing booked-in orders being cancelled, and being asked to rebook at much higher prices. I want to firm up whether this is widespread... I'd like to hear specific examples of how much prices are rising, especially of point c) and will pass them through to the Department for Energy. 2. CONSUMER GAS & ELECTRICITY BILLS: This is less imminent, but a potential ticking cost time-bomb. I'm focused on the Eng, Scot & Welsh system here... - In the short term: Most bills are protected from the spike in wholesale energy prices as the Energy Price Cap is set based on a significant time-lag. In fact it is locked in to DROP 6.7% in April. Those not on the Price Cap are mainly on existing fixes (which, due to unprecedented prior policy changes, will see most suppliers cut existing fix rates on 1 April, typically by 7% to 9%) so are also price protected for now. One current concern is the lack of availability of cheap fixes. While that's frustrating, in the short term it means those whose existing fixes are ending, will just (hopefully temporarily) need to move on to the Price Cap. There are also a minority of homes who are immediately affected, eg, those on time-of-use tariffs. These include Octopus Agile & Tracker, which move half-hourly or daily with wholesale rates. These are sophisticated user tariffs, and if necessary people have the short term option to switch back to a Price Cap tariff (though do check for restrictions on how long before you can switch back). So while none of that is great, it isn't crisis point. - The end of May is likely crunch time: This is usually when the next Price Cap (July to Sept) is announced. It currently seems very likely it will rise, though just how much all depends on how long lived the current energy price spike is. Yet the key is whether wholesale rates have dropped back down or not by that point. If they have, while the Price Cap rise will annoy many, it won't be critical for most for two reasons i) The July to Sept Price Cap is usually the lowest use period. So, even if typical use rose £200/yr, in practice this'd just be, at a guess, an extra £30 to £40 paid over the period. If by then wholesale rates are down, a substantial cut would be expected for the next (Oct) Cap. ii) The rate new fixes are set at is based on wholesale rates, so if wholesale rates have dropped by then, the big push should be to get people off the Price Cap and onto fixes which could possibly look to be 20%+ cheaper, avoiding any price hike. That should then leave only those unwilling or unable to switch paying more - the latter is an issue the govt would need to concern itself with at that point. Yet if rates haven't dropped back down by May, and it looks like it'll stay high so the October Price Cap will rise too, and no cheap fixes are available, then things get into real problem territory. The government needs to be (and I suspect is starting to) planning now for that eventuality in case more hard-core intervention is needed. Martin PS I said I'd be off socials for the weekend, as normal, but thought this was worth coming back on for. I'm now resuming my weekend break from socials.

My coworker said he stayed with his friend for 7 months while trying to look for a job. His friend billed him $900 rent... he paid $1,000 just to play his part. When it was time to leave, his friend handed him $7,000—every dollar he paid. He told him, “I never needed it. I just wanted you to stack your money and get ahead.” That’s love. That’s loyalty. Helping someone win without making them feel small. We need more hearts like that in this world.

Do men actually like going down on us women?

FACT: Wives who actually love their husbands will have sex with them even when they don’t feel like doing it.

@Threadscenes Weekly

What’s the bare minimum s3xx frequency you’d accept in a serious relationship before you feel unloved and unwanted??

Many marriages are sexless, leaving people unfulfilled. But even for those staying married, many lack the intimacy and connection they desire. This is especially true for our predominantly male audience: why are women hesitant to be accountable?

The importance of sex in married life💯‼️

If you deny your husband sex at home, don’t act surprised when he finds it elsewhere. Marriage isn’t just paperwork, sex, intimacy, and exclusivity are part of the deal. Ignore or weaponize it and you’re inviting trouble.

A lot of couples have a dead bedroom. No sex to be seen. But if you’re AT LEAST getting sex on Valentines Day, anniversary, or your birthday, LEAVE. You should have left already, but if you haven’t yet, LEAVE.

Remove sex from a relationship, and you will discover that 90% of women have nothing to offer men in relationships. Conversely, remove money from a relationship, and you will learn that 90% of women won't see a reason to be in said relationship.

@Nidhirae 3

Which one is correct ??

@peculiarchichii If you let it go on too long ,when you do have sex again that's all it is , it won't be making love anymore!

My wife hasn't initiated or agreed to to sex in 4 months. She keeps saying she's too tired from work and kids. I am feeling like a roommate in my own house. We are married for 6 years, we have two kids under 5. I work 7am-8pm, go through traffic + an overtime to cover the bills for rent and school fees. I come home exhausted too, but I still try to connect with her. I cook sometimes, help bathe the kids. But she'd say she's drained, and sex is last thing on her mind. I have tried talking to her about it, she simply told me she understands my stress, but there has been no effort from her side. She's not even open to scheduling. My resentment is building up, I feel rejected, and tempted to look elsewhere but I'm not acting on it yet. We've been for counseling, but She says there's no need, that it's just a phase. What do I do please?
