When you are married and get grouchy, depressed, etc?

from not having sex as much as you'd like, whats the real solution? Of course your spouse isn't going to want to have sex with someone who is all grumpy and irritable, so it only makes things worse.

Update:

Pearl, its not that I can't feign interest, concern and emotional closeness. Heck, women fake orgasms while men are capable of faking full relationships. But that after a handful of days of that to still repeatedly get "no", it starts not seeming worth the effort.

    I tell him straight out that I'm grumpy, grouchy and irritable because I'm horny as hell.

    If that doesn't work I proceed to masturbate loudly and let him know what he's missing.

    And if that doesn't get it, I remind him that he can have a girlfriend if I can have a boyfriend, or I mention that I'm putting an ad in the paper for a pool boy.

    And all you ladies (remember--I am a woman) who think masturbation is the key, I hate to tell y'all, but it just doesn't cut it. It might provide a slight physical relief, but only briefly. If anything, at least for me, it makes it worse. I want the real thing even more!

    Men (and women) WANT to have sex with their partner. That's a GOOD thing. If your man (or woman) suddenly stopped being interested in you, then you'd whine that they aren't paying attention to you, that you feel neglected, they don't show you desire and so on. Your spouse desiring sex with you means they enjoy you! Why is that some kind of bad thing?

    There is actually a medical reason for that grouchiness. Sex releases chemicals/ hormones and such.That play a role in our mental health. The cycle for these to wear off is about 4 weeks give or take a week depending on the person. You then start going through a withdrawal type thing that can last up to another four weeks or so before you can adjust. If you keep having triggers, like what you interpret as teasing/promises. After the initial rush the withdrawal process will star all over again.She is the only one that can break this cycle but when your grouchy, your not stimulating her emotional mind. Which is whats required to get her going. It's quite a vicious cycle that one can find themselves in. The only way to break it is communication.

    Why do men think that marriage means sex-on-demand without having to put ANY effort in, to get their women in the mood? Women are not THAT hard to seduce, if you get their brains ready before their bodies. If you're not happy with the amount of sex you're getting, then you're simply not making it worth her while. Here's a tip: Women generally want to believe it's them you want so badly, not just a shag to get your rocks off, so your male PMS can settle down again. If you're approaching it from that angle, you're making everything more dificult for yourself. Put some old fashioned effort into it, and you'll spend less time lovin' your hand and more time enjoying your sexy woman.

    I would say your solution would be to grow up and act your age. If my husband grew to act like a whiny, miserable spoilt child I would find it a massive turn-off. You have your hand. There is the internet LOADED with free porn. You figure it out.

    When you are in a better mood you might just get lucky.

    I've made it really clear to her that I don't feel particularly patient or generous when I'm undersexed .

    She is well aware that if I have to take care of my own needs that she can fix her own bike and car , take herself out to dinner and a movie alone and plan on moving that furniture around in the guest room by herself.
