It seems that that we, as a society, are increasingly adopting a clinical view of sex that reduces it to a mere bodily urge to be satisfied ... like eating.
Are you in a committed relationship with a man who refuses to have sex with you? If so, you are NOT alone. Many women are sexually unfulfilled in their partnerships. Take comfort in knowing this and in knowing that, in most cases, his lack of desire has NOTHING to do with him thinking you are not beautiful or in good enough physical shape for him to want to enjoy your body through sex.
8 places to find a date this December. 5 reasons he's afraid of commitment. 9 TV shows with red-hot sex scenes. 10 ways to spend the holidays by yourself. How to date a friend's ex. 3 common sex problems. One woman's fight with sex addiction.
A satisfying sex life can be a source of comfort and joy. When it's neither comfortable nor joyful, however, don't automatically blame your mate. Maybe your body is trying to tell you something.
If you think that sex problems have repercussions only on your sex life, you are in for a surprise.

If you think “not tonight, dear, I have a headache” is a flimsy excuse, what would you think about “not tonight, dear, you’ve put the wrong sheets on the bed again and the refrigerator sounds terrible and you smell like you just got off an airplane and my cocoa has lumps in it and therefore I’m on overwhelm and can’t bear to be touched?”

And it's estimated that 40 million Americans have what experts call a sexless marriage (having sex less than 10 times a year).” Okay, that does not sound good. Check out the article for common problems, such as body-image issues (duh), to not-so-common, like you’re bedroom’s way too boring (huh).
