Sex Starved Wives

   In 2003, Michele Weiner Davis' book,The Sex-Starved Marriage described the problems that occur when one spouse is vastly more interested in sex than the other.  After that book came out she was very surprised at what happened next.

She was flooded with e-mails, letters, and phone calls from women, not with "headaches" and other predictable excuses for avoiding sex, but from women who were desperately unhappy because their husbands weren't the least bit interested in sex.

Nothing these women said or did got their men to understand the pain and isolation that comes from a sexual void, and despite heartfelt pleas, they were unable to convince their husbands to seek professional help.

If this sounds like your situation, Weiner Davis wants to tell you that you are not alone, and it is not your fault: there is a whole host of reasons why your husband might be experiencing low desire. She believes that understanding a problem won't make your sex life any juicier; doing something about it will.

The Sex-Starved Wife gives you the tools you need to present the information in the book so that your husband will not become defensive. You'll even learn methods for overcoming sexual dysfunctions such as performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, and effective ways for dealing with pornography or infidelity. If you and your spouse need additional support, Weiner Davis offers concrete advice on how to get your man to visit his doctor or seek other professional help.

An estimated 20 million couples have stopped being sexually intimate and for too long sexless marriages have been a taboo subject. Nobody wants to admit they are not being intimate with their significant other.  It's a deep hurt that you don't ever want to share.  Yes, you can rationalize to yourself why it's happening, but the bottom line is it leaves a gaping hole in your heart.

Is sex the only important component of a marriage - of course not.  But, it does provide the pleasure, the comfort, and the connection that no two people should be without.
