The beginning of my marriage , her and I were screwing all the time , even before we got married we were screwing like rabbits , The sex didn’t start to die down until we had our 3rd child together and I decided to get a vasectomy cuz the doctor told me if I get her pregnant again it could kill her , after my vasectomy I was lucky if I got laid once or twice a week and that’s pretty much when our marriage started going down the tubes , I started resenting her for not wanting sex like she use to , and I would get frustrated and tell her to go get help , she started acting like sex wasn’t that important , and she barely wanted sex anymore , I could only have sex with her when she wanted it , but never when I wanted it , so we started butting heads and our marriage pretty much turned to shit from there , I found out she was having an emotional affair with a co worker , so I ended up separating from her and told her to move out. Once she moved out , I ended up meeting another girl that was flirting with me that I was attracted to the second I met her , I started dating her and having a lot of sex with her , sex wasn’t even an issue whatsoever , this girl rocked my world , We dated for 6 months until her husband knocked on my door. During the time we were dating , my wife was begging for me back , and I said no , I am dating someone else , my wife was upset and she swore she didn’t cheat on me , at the time I did t believe her and told her No , that she is best to move on because I am as well, but after I found out the girl I was dating was married , I ended it with her immediately and then shortly after that my oldest brother and then my Mom passed away , My wife was by my side during that time , so I ended up giving her another chance. The sex was good between us again , but it eventually started to die down again as well , So I am right back to square one and told my wife we are best to just stay friends’ and go out separate ways. Now I been dating again and the dating world today isn’t the same as it was back then lol I am stuck between whether want a relationship or again or not , It seems casual sex is the way to go these days lol

Alright, let's dissect these "statistics" with the surgical precision of a rusty butter knife and a healthy dose of sarcasm.

* Statistic Number One: "A little bit more than once a week, averaging 58 times a year." Oh, the scientific precision! So, are we talking 1.1 times a week? 1.05? And who's counting? Did they hire a tiny accountant to live under the bed? I'm picturing a spreadsheet titled "Horizontal Hustle: Annual Tally."

* Statistic Number Two: "Sexless marriage: less than 10 times a year." So, basically, if you're doing it monthly, you're practically running a brothel compared to these folks. I bet their anniversary celebrations are wild. "Honey, remember that time we... well, you know... back in March?"

* Statistic Number Three: "10% check their phones during sex, 35% immediately after." Ah, the modern romance. Because nothing says "I'm present" like scrolling through Instagram while, or immediately after, intimacy. Priorities, people! I imagine the post-coital check is to see if anyone liked their last tweet. "Did anyone see that?"

* Statistic Number Four: "50% dissatisfied with sex, 75% satisfied with marriage." So, they're basically saying, "Yeah, the main event is a dud, but the catering and decor are top-notch!" It's like going to a restaurant where the main course is a soggy noodle, but the ambiance is delightful. "The breadsticks were amazing, but the main reason I came here was terrible."

* Statistic Number Five: "50% wouldn't marry without sex." Well, duh. It would be like buying a car without an engine. "I love the paint job and the seats, but it does not move."

* Statistic Number Six: "Majority don't have sex on their wedding night." After a day of forced smiles, awkward speeches, and questionable dance moves, who has the energy? It's like running a marathon and then being asked to sprint. I'm surprised anyone can even remember their own name by that point.

1. In my first marriage, that's about right for the first few years.
2. After 15 years, that happened, and eventually led to our amicable divorce.
3. I rarely use my cellphone, never before, during or after sex. It usually sits on my ho e office desk.
4. Sex was very good for the first few years of marriage. There's more to marriage than sex.
5. Not surprising, so what?
6. I've had 2 wedding nights, I'm 1 for 2 when it comes to sex.

Sex shouldn’t be the only thing a marriage has going for it. Eventually even that will become fewer and farther in between.

1. When I was with my first fiance, we had sex at least 3 times a week.
2. Yeah, about 4 years in, she decided she didn't want sex anymore. 6 years later, she started cheating on me! Makes sense to me! "I don't want sex so, I'm gonna let some other guy fuck me."
3. I rarely ever turn mine on more than once or twice a week. Most of the time, it just sits on the floor next to the computer. It's ONLY on if I actually need to make a call or text.
4. I had a GREAT sex life until she decided to stop fucking.
5. True. What's the point?
6. Can't say anything about that, I've never had a wedding night.

Good MyTake. Marriage kills sex for women. That destroyed my marriage within 4 years. No kids involved.
