Many of us will be tempted to lie, “rounding up” the genuine figure and ignoring instances when we are not having much sex for various reasons.

Ladies, how frequently do you initiate sex? I believe I know the answer. Almost never. Most guys grumble that their partners never initiate the first move. “It has been years. And when I do, the response is invariably ‘NO.'” It is begging. Even if he is the most selfless and generous of lovers. “I can make her squirt!””I love eating her out!””I build romance!””I love to pamper!””She always cums.” And the results are the same. She will not initiate sex. I wonder why? Women are essentially “trained” from birth not to express their sexuality in any way. Society refers to…

My (29M) wife (29F) has been having an affair for two years, and I’ve been aware of it almost the entire time. We’ve been together for seven years, married for five. We don’t have children. I’ve been working from home since COVID hit. She has worked as a secretary in a huge office building for more than three years. Now, I’m not going to pretend that our marriage was flawless two years ago and that I can’t believe she would do this. I was completely complacent in my life and was not putting much effort into our relationship at all.…
My grandparents gave each of their grandchildren enough money to buy a house after we graduate from college. We have to complete college on our own. My older brother managed to pay off some debt while still having enough for a 50% down payment and emergency funds. I was fortunate enough to qualify for both a scholarship and a bursary through my father’s employer. When I graduated, I acquired a tiny house near public transportation so that I could commute by train to work. Several years later, I met and married my spouse. He met my cousin, Yvonne, at my…
We are bother 18 years old. He cheated on me with my 42-year-old mother when we were together. She was the one who pushed me to approach him, which makes this hurt even more. Since we were thirteen, he and I had been best friends. She advised me to quit being scared and go after him when we were sixteen. Last week, I arrived home much earlier than I had planned and caught them in the act, this is when I first found out about their affair. In an attempt to explain herself, my mom said she “just wanted to…
Recently, my wife underwent plastic surgery. I had opposed it when we had talked about it. I had no say in the matter and it was not my decision. She now has an odd appearance. She had a neck lift, lip fillers, the fat removed off her face, and additional procedures I’m not entirely sure what they were. I can feel the uncanny valley around her now. I find it terrifying. Now that she is completely recovered, she wants everything to return to normal. Like me asking to have sex. I have, but not to the same extent as before.…
