    Hi guys, I’m new to nofap. I believe my husband maybe watching and maybe addicted to porn. We only have sex twice a week and I usually initiate. When we have sex he does things that seem “porny”. He blames his low libido on stress and says that nothing gets him excited and that he NEVER masturbates EVER. I tell him it’s completely normal and he shouldn’t be ashamed. But he sticks with this lie. My gut says he’s replacing me with porn! Also I notice that he checks women out. So I know he has it in him! He definitely is sexual. Also complains that after sex he has prostate pain and that maybe that’s why he’s maybe psychologically turned off by sex.
     
  2. I think its quite difficult. Maybe you should try to talk about it when having a nice dinner or something? Because if you try to find out on your own (checking phone and laptop) he will be upset. But let him lie to you isnt't good as well.

    So therefore talking to him when having a nice mood could be a good advice.

    Many thanks for the quick reply. I have had this conversation many-many times and still he won’t admit it. He never turns me down for sex either. So if I wanted we could have sex more then 2 or 3 times. But he never initiates. Then I feel like a big pervert or desperate. I just feel helpless and unattractive. I’m wildly attracted to him. It’s creating low-self esteem and anxiety in my personal life. I know I’m a catch, but when your husband doesn’t treat you like it, It’s beyond hurtful. Is it safe to say all men masturbate alot and he must be lying to me?
     
  4. Perhabs there is something deeper inside him. Trust issues are always bad, especially in a marriage. You should really try to talk to him about the whole thing. Sex, masturbation, trusting each other.

    It is really great to see that you put so much into it. That you are trying everything a that you are strong! Keep it going! I hope the best for you :)

    Not all men masturbate a lot. I wouldn't say it is 'natural', but that is what society and the porn industry what people to believe. IMO, masturbation in moderation is fine but not to a PA.
    All the talking in the world will not get your husband to open up or be honest if he doesn't want to or is in denial. I'd start by education yourself. Go check out the site yourbrainonporn.com. It has a lot of really good science based info there. After you have some understanding of PA you can begin talking to your husband and have him check out the site too.

    Hey Numb, thank you so much for that link. I will look it up. He’s an amazing husband, and I’m trying my best to be patient and I am having a hard time with him opening up. He said he used to do it quite a lot before we met, but now doesn’t. Says he’s not in the mood for even that. My gut still tells me something isn’t quite right. Thanks for your advice

    Hello
    Thanks for your courage to post
    Thanks for your sharing
    A happy S. Life is a thin line between 2 people with different rythms needs and way of expressing them
    How does he feel about it?
    Maybe he has . Difficulty to initiate? or shame?. If you read @Strength And Light journal you will see he also had difficulty to initiate. Maybe it can give you some clues?

    To love is to give ease. In a relationship there is no such thing IMHO as a one sided problem. So it is often interesting to ask ourselves how am I favoring my beloved s behavior?
    Often men who have more libido than their wife are often asked to accept theirs spouse as they are. To help her with the choirs and find skillful means to give her space. maybe there are ideas in this?

    Finally it is interesting that you ask yourself why you want more S (2 / week is much more than my mean) . Is it to bond with him? Is it to have fun? Other? There are many ways to spend time with our SO and S. Is just one of them? What does he like to do when you are together?

    I am no expert I just share my experience so if you feel this is inappropriate I can erase it.

    I wish you a lot of Happy tender moments

    If your gut is telling you something is off then you are probably right. It is a matter of finding out exactly what. My bf has a huge problem with being open. I do think he lies to himself as well as me. He is working on it but it is very trying sometimes. Patience is not my strong suite, but if I want things to work out I need to try harder. I find that I can be patient as long as he is being honest, but it has taken so long for that to happen. The lying and PA has nearly ended our 15 year relationship.
    I wish you luck, this is a hard painful thing to go through. You have a lot of support here if you need it. And if your husband decides to be honest with both you and himself there is a lot of support and resources here for him as well.

    Hey no worries, I really appreciate your advice. We have a beautiful relationship. We are newly weds and are affectionate towards one another 247. Also we have very active lives and on our day off we do what most young couples do. It’s not dull or boring. But sex is very important and 2 a week is not enough. We were making love 4. 3 is fair. 2 is going downhill. I’ve not lost my attraction to him and I expect the same from him. I see he’s sexual and politely looks at other women. So like I said he has the spark. Sex is everything; bonding, fun, attraction, and so on. Thanks for your feedback and always open to opinions!

    Hi Numb,
    Thank you so much for your kind words and something tells me we are in similar situations. I too want my marriage to work and I fear if it gets bad now... what will it be like 10 years down the road. I expect my husband to not only love me BUT be in love with me aswell and I don’t ever want to lose our passion. I think you know from experience that WE MUST NOT IGNORE OUR GUT. And it is hard to be patient. I fantasize about leaving him some coconut oil and tissues by the bedside. A gift set from his beloved wife . But I say “calm down” give it time. Look at all the qualities he has. But really... this is important and why can’t you take 20m out of your evening 3 times a week... I do hope your situation sorts itself out and our men start to be honest. My husband does this thing where if he doesn’t mention it... it’s not a lie. Keeping things from me are not a lie. Unless I ask. Best of luck and it feels so good to hear your words!

    Thanks Ghost Rider,

    He says after we have sex or after he mb he gets a pain in his prostate. Like pressure. We have both gone to the doctor. They have given him medication. It was a 30 day treatment. (ciprofloxacin) The doctor said maybe psychologically he’s refraining from sex because he doesn’t want to be in pain. We used to make love 4 days. Now it’s 2. I initiate one session and he the other, but I feel it’s a pity-fuck. He get’s off and I’m turning him on though. Porny things are deep-throating and pushing my head down during oral. I don’t mind. It makes him happy but I know this is done in porn. To answer your question he is 34 and yes we are both in a very-very stressful situation. So this is true. He also never refuses to have sex. But definitely low-libido issues. But like I said, he notices beautiful women. I notice that. The spark is there! When we make love he tells me the things he likes. It is hot sessions. We had the same schedule for a year. So if he were to mb it would be in the bathroom. Now we have opposite schedules so he can do as he pleases.

    He’s very caring and affectionate. We are always hugging and kissing. He does little things for me all the time. At times I think I’m being way to hard on me, BUT my gut is on fire-fire! We come home to each other every night. Stay in communication throughout the day. Maybe I’m too passionate. So confused but I feel he is 100% mb. I think no way can a young man be that numb to sex.

    I was just thinking about the 'pain'. My bf use to tell me he would often get pain in his testicle area(not sure where exactly) when he would orgasm. Not all the time, he also doesn't cum all the time. But since giving up PMO he rarely complains about it and it was more in the beginning. I'll have to ask him more about it, I'm not sure if he go the pain from masturbation too. In my bf's case I really do feel like the pain was more mental than from something actually wrong. Also just assuming that your husband is actually getting pain when he orgasms it can still be 'in his head', he expects there to be pain so there is.

    Thank you so much. That would be great. We went to the doctor together and he explained the pain. The doctor prescribed that medication and even did the whole “finger” test. So I don’t think he is lying. Otherwise I don’t think he would go through all the trouble. He was also super diligent with taking his medicine twice a day. He won’t even take aspirin.

    Let’s see... what else, I feel that he’s not lying about pain, but I feel a guy in his early 30’s would have a higher libido. Am I right? We are always together. So he would have to masturbate in the shower or bathroom. He takes his phone with him, but I can hear him listening to video clips. Unless it’s mental imagery.

    Do you think only men who watch porn like deep throat or is this a fantasy other men have. He’s NEVER suggested anal or anything forceful. Also caresses me before and after.

    And also really great all around. He acts like he’s in love. But to me sex 2 a week is ridiculous.

    Oh I keep a journal about every action that happens. It’s super helpful and that’s why I’m super in tune with my gut instinct! Thanks for this. It’s like the light at the end of the tunnel this nofap. People that can relate.
