    Please tell me how I must be handling this situation..

    We are married for 1.5 years.Today my husband very casually said that he doesn't get turned on seeing me, and that he needs to see **** to have sex with me. After hearing this I feel so badly hurt and have been crying just recollecting the words he said. When I asked him how he can say on this directly to me, he said he doesn't find it very bad and that he loves me otherwise. But I am not able to digest this. He said the same kind of words even last year and it took very long for me to come out of it. Hearing this again after a year makes me wonder if I am living in a fake life.

    Irrespective of the kind of love he shows me otherwise, I feel so broken to know that I am in capable of turning him on. I don't even feel like having sex with him henceforth. I feel like this will remain a scar in my whole life ahead. I am not sure what I should be doing ..

    HI Arusree,
    Dont take it seriously. Everyone has their own fantasy, which turns them on sexually. it doesnt matter, if you cant turn him on. Since you are recently married, you are sensitive to this thing and insecure about it. There are a lot more things about marriage, and this is not the only thing. if he is otherwise a good person and not abusive, its OK. Enjoy some activities together with him, like cooking , exercising, playing outdoor games, movie, etc and develop companionship with him, which is more important. I have been married for almost 7 years, and when I look back, intial years were very difficult in terms of adjustments and sex was one of the factors. But it became muc better after a a baby, and we developed a stronger family like bond after that. Dont worry, its just a passing phase.

    Also, do make efforts to look appealing, like dress up to your best, make sure you smell nice, try a new haircut, take care of your skin and hair, which would really appeal to your husband.

    if he has already said it once.. there was actually no need to say the same thing again after a considerable period of time..that was rude..

    did you ask him what he thinks is the solution ?? I hate to hear people who only place the problem statement on the table without even trying a hand at finding solutions..serves no good to anybody..

    honestly I would not even react the way you are reacting... what he made is a fact statement and I would take it at its face value and let it be....my principle is simple... why worry about something you have not control over?? waste of time and energy

    just make some popcorn and join him for the p*** show...

    stay bindaas girl...good luck

    having said that do try to find out if you can do / change anything to help it. Unless he expects you to do complex gymnastics .. you can give it a shot I suppose

    Dear OP,
    While it may be a bit rude for your husband to say it, I think it is appreciable that at least he is honest with you.

    Probably he should have been more 'discreet' or tactful in the manner of saying it as we ladies, esp. wives or should I say newly-wedded wives, would like to be pampered and sweet talked (more often than not! :) - it is not anything bad, just the way we dream and romanticize about husbands when at a younger age or before marriage). So it comes more as a shock that our own hubby says something like that I guess.

    I would advise you not to read too much into it or even feel too down about it. Rather you should take this opportunity to tell yourself to buck up and try to make yourself feel better by dressing up, looking good so that you FEEL GOOD about yourself.
    Visit the beauty parlour, or DIY some simple beauty treatments for your self.
    Buy a couple of new dresses, maybe something different than what you already own, get a haircut, etc. etc. - you get the point, I believe.

    That will increase your confidence level and act like a DH magnet by default.

    I agree with the previous posts and say, go along and enjoy the p*** together with him. It will make things work better for you both :) ;)

    All the best,
    h

    OP....what your husband said is not wrong,how he said it is wrong.
    He is a tactless ,rude fool.
    He is antagonizing the one person with whom he is going to have sex for the rest of his life.Way to go smart man!:roll:


    Next time he says something tactless like this....put the end of your pallu/duppatta /finger/whatever in your mouth and give him a coy smile.....then say"you are so right.I too need to see some strong ,muscular ,sweaty hot guys to start a spark in my loins"....then sigh.

    Dear ILS,

    Thanks a lot for your replies. It is true that he has said this in a very tactless manner, or rather in a very blunt way. If I really had some flaws which I can work on like grooming myself, or staying fit, I would have accepted the way he feels about me. But the truth is reverse,I am considered slim and pretty looking, and I already do whatever you people have asked me to work on. Like every other normal girl, I put efforts to smell good, visit parlours, wear good clothes. I am confident about my looks, my husband too says Iam pretty .And like you people have suggested, we already watch **** together often, but as a girl it is not **** which makes me enjoy intimacy. And yes, my husband is not one of the poster boys, but I never felt like giving such a statement to him. Both of us love each other so much, but I think as a girl, I am associating sex with love, and he separates both of them. May be that is why, he felt so easy to say something like this and still say I love you.

    After crying a lot for this statement, I decided not to hold the blame on me. My husband is used to watching a lot of **** and I think he expects women like them. I will or can no way become like them in this birth. I spoke to him about this, and he apologised to me for hurting me. But what is said is said. Cannot be reversed. The worse part is I am TTC now, and this statement is definitely putting me off.

    Otherwise there is no complaints about my husband in any other aspect. I have strictly told him no **** while we are physically intimate. I don't seem to find any other solution as of now.

    I never reacted like this when he told this a year back. Just like you think, I thought let me move on and be happy with the way I am. But hearing it again after a year makes me feel very insecure.

    He spoke the truth, and has been very honest with you. But like many people mentioned, this man wasn't good at using tacts and winning a women's heart by this. Rather a very blunt and rude fellow.

    He has been used to **** movies, which naturally makes his body get aroused to porns and **** figures rather than actual women in his life. This is the side effect of too much ****, I guess.

    So, naturally he won't get aroused at you - a normal girl, unless you act like a **** start.

    You can't changed to a **** start, but he can work this issue by watching a **** before being intimate with you. Or both can watch it together as well.

    Don't be so emotional. Don't take the blame. It is not your fault, but his.
    His addiction to **** makes him unnaturally get numbed to normal woman like you.
    Ask him to work out his issue in whatever the possible way. You just relax and enjoy your TTC.

    As long as this man loves you, that is what important.

    PS: For men sex and love are completely different subjects.
