Sex and the Married Man

Posted By: John Moore · 9/24/2012 10:55:00 AM

A lot of reaction this morning to the letter I read on Burnt Toast (last segment of the show at 8:55). A man responds to a Globe and Mail feature on women who are too tired for sex with a personal account of where he gets his yayas now. It's not exactly a portrait of a healthy marriage but a new book suggests it's a lot more common than we might think. 

He ends in a flourish: "To all you women out there that think that your men are "too tired" to have sex - you need to check out the pages of the online escort review boards in Toronto. We are not too tired, we're still having sex - just not with you. Keep making excuses about "too tired", "the kids", "preparing lunches", "work demands", etc. Do you ever look at your man and he's got this smile on his face and you can't quite understand?"

    Not quite sure how to answer this, except when people make comments like this keep them singular in nature and not lump all men in with you. If you want to be lazy, lying weasel and somehow think that is a virtue to brag about it do me a favour and please stay away from me, my wife and my kids,

    Perhaps if you put half the effort into helping with the chores about the abode then you would have more time for your wife, rather than making her out to be the viiain, then you might be a happier person. My only hope is your kids take after their mother and not you..

    this man should perhaps brush up on his late 80's early 90's current events by acquainting himself with the story of John Wayne Bobbit and his wife Lorena---who shall we say "cut him off at the pass"? Not that I wish this sort of thing on anyone but the possibility is always there, especially if he is so proud of how he gets his yayas---this man's wife just might get his "yayas" too!

    Men like to get laid, the ladies that marry them know that going in but somehow seem to forget....

      @CoffeeCon yes Matt, and when men get married they know that they should stay faithful going into the marriage but somehow seem to forget......

      @CoffeeCon Your comment seems to suggest that women don't like sex as much as men. That may lead to the following hypothesis'
      1. You are not good at it.
      2. You don't know how to please your partner so its like work to them.

      Maybe there's more, but using the excuse I like it more than you and you never want to so I'm looking elsewhere and that's really your fault is just a cop out and a complete lack of respect for the person you supposedly love.

    I dont condone what any other guy says about cheating on their wife, but I do understand. No one likes to get rejected least of all by the one who loves you. I know its not an obligation either way but when the common cop-out is "I have a headache" or pretending to sleep you know as a woman you've started pushing him away long before he's ever even thought of cheating on you.

      @Soccerguy Again if your not happy in marriage either man or woman, but I'll use the male phrase, then Man Up. Tell that person you're not happy, maybe things work out maybe they don't, but at least you respect them enough to tell them the truth.

    Sex is very important in marriage, so instead of cheating I think honesty should prevail. Either get help or part ways, much more dignified way to do it.
