Does a wedding ring being slipped onto ones left hand truly kill a persons sex drive?

Could it be that the ring truly does cut off blood supply to a persons sex organs?

I have noticed person after person on here say that they had a great sex life with their spouse until they put a ring on their finger.

I actually just realized that I had bought my husband a wedding band, but, getting married in the hurry that we did, didn't get one from him and still don't 23 years later. His sex drive left him that night and I am as ready as I ever was. Should I just never allow one to be slipped on my finger to avoid this tragedy?

Update:

Guy, a ring with 24 diamonds on it would be pretty spectacular.

Common Sense, not one here to get married for a piece of jewelry. Thought that it was for love and happiness. They lose a lot of value as soon as you walk out of a jewelry store with them.

    I'm still doing some research on the subject...... but YES, placing a ring on ones left hand DOES kill a persons sex drive.

    What little research I have been able to gather on the subject; it has something to do with "security". Once a ring has been placed on ones left hand that person no longer has to worry about anything. The ring coupled with the little piece of paper (marriage certificate) pretty much guarantees the woman that she no longer has to put on an "act" of enjoying sex since she's gotten her little security blanket.

    Once I've completed my research I'll post a follow up.....

    That is exactly why I don't wear a ring.

    Now women on the other hand need to have that ring upgraded eventually. Think about it.

    The diamond gets you all the sex you want until the wedding where its just gold. That wears off in a few years and requires more jewelry to get the , um, juices flowing again.

    the best idea is to get one of those specially made settings where you can add another stone every so often. That keeps you going for years.

    Putting a ring on one's finger does not have to be the end of a sex life. We have been married for 5 years and have a great sex life. I know that is not long, but we always have. We even have a 2 year old. Most people perceive it to be that way because they get into a routine and get too comfortable.

    A Stanford researcher using MRI´s discovered that when men get married part of their brain shuts down. Part of that has to do with sex. What you are reading are the ones who realized that the person they are living with is not the one they married. You are your brain. The out side stuff is just trappings. So if your brain changes then you as a person are a different person.

    I think maybe some couples don't attempt to grow with each other ... and maybe grow in different directions without attempting to stay connected. Others let their sex lives get boring. Of course, stuff like bills and children can make sex harder to find....I think too many people think marriage is an excuse to let go of working on the relationship, when its actually a vow to keep on keeping it strong!

    Many of my married relatives are jumping all over each other like teenagers. Seriously, I was actually jealous of my aunt and uncles relationship the other night. (I'm 27, they're 40).

  • I had one almost 12 years ago, still have the libido of a teen boy. I think it depends on how giving of a lover your spouse is and whether or not you were just putting out for the ring in the first place. (I'm convinced many do this)

    Defintely not. I've been with the same guy nearly 4 years and we've been married a bit over 2 months. Nothing has changed between us sexually except perhaps that its gotten better with practice :)

    I also use to think that, but I actually believe that it has worked to the opposite with my hot sexy young wife. Ever since I placed that ring on her finger 11 years ago, she gets hotter and sexier every day, and wants sex more than I can handle. (Persistent smile on face).

    Usually its the HoHo's slipping from the wife's hand to her mouth after marriage that reduces a husbands sex drive.

    That usually happens to women after they consume wedding cake. Once the cake goes in the mouth, nothing else ever will!
