============================================================== I wonder how many of these men, who are no longer interested in sex, have been arbitrarily threatened by their wives with divorce and the loss of everything they have, if they failed to accede to their most outrageous demands. ==============================================================
I certainly believe this is the case many times. I've been witness to as well have heard from many men that a lot of marriages go into predictable stages, whereby things are great at first then slowly decline. The wife then takes on a more assertive role in the marriage further pushing the masculinity of the husband further to the backburner, which causes a psychological wall to be erected. Other things, such as children and the wife only wanting sex when and where SHE dictates (which over time becomes less frequent) further adds to the husband building his "wall".
True, there ARE men who like women in FULL control, but I can bet it is a VERY small percentage.
