Dad Starting Over

Dear DSO: "I Still Need MORE From My Wife!"


Listen Later

DSO tackles a sensitive and commonly encountered issue in many marriages: the dynamics of sexual desire and satisfaction. Delve into Daniel's story, a listener who, despite having worked on improving his relationship and experiencing an uptick in bedroom activity, is grappling with the feeling that his wife's participation may not stem from genuine desire.

DSO, with his blend of straightforward advice and empathetic insight, dissects the complexity behind the listener's concerns, pointing out the multifaceted nature of sexual desire and the psychological impetus driving our expectations. He addresses the delicate balance between increased frequency and the authenticity of sexual encounters within a marriage. Through real-life examples and an understanding of human sexual behaviour, DSO provides a nuanced overview of why, even with positive changes, some men, like Daniel, yearn for a more spontaneous and voracious sexual connection.

Key Takeaways:

  • Sexual desire within a marriage can be complicated, affected by changes in life stages, stress, and individual nature.
  • Increasing sexual frequency doesn't always equate to satisfaction if the perceived level of genuine desire from the partner is lacking.
  • Our biology might be programmed towards 'serial monogamy', seeking newness that inherently comes with a new partner.
  • Realistic expectations and communication are essential in understanding and managing the complexities of marital sexual relationships.
  • Exploring adventurous and shared sexual experiences may help ignite a stronger sexual connection between partners.
