Sex Ban has got me thinking about other things. Like marriage and serious relationships. How do you keep your sex life alive? Women tend to do house work and have jobs and even kids and it's clearly tiring. I know I wouldn't have the energy for having some fun in bed when all I want is sleep.

How do you busy men handle all this? Do you feel the same? All tired out and just want to knock out? Or do you have magical energy stored in your bodies just for sex? Do you help our your wife/SO with house work and kids so you both can have some energy left for each other? Or do you just come home from work, sit on your ass and wait for dinner while staring at the TV?

MEN only please?

lol Ladies, I want mans opinion and points only (but you can still though in a few words lol it's a free world here)

Well im not a man (sorry!) but when I was with my ex fiance he used to use the last bit of energy he had after his 12 hour shifts to play on the PS3!! drove me crazy. He quite obviously had different priorities to me!! (yes I am still bitter haha)

This.

It doesn't mater how tired I am, I seem to have a separate energy reserve for sex. My OH only has to give me the slightest flash of her body or act in a slightly suggestive way and I get a huge adrenalin rush which can only be discharged via an energetic session between the sheets. This can lead to a great deal of frustration on my part if she's just flirting or inadvertently exposes herself while walking round my apartment in just a towel after having a shower, etc., so I have to manage my energy carefully. She tells me this trait is down to my Mars conjunct Pluto. I also have a Scorpio Moon which can be very resentful and brooding when I don't get what I want, so again, careful management of my energies is essential. Fortunately I'm largely successful. We work the same hours and share the housework equally, so as long as I'm assertive and maintain a romantic atmosphere in the home I don't find it too difficult to get her in the mood, though my sex drive is inevitably a lot higher than hers.

My advice to any man who's feeling neglected is to make sure she has the time and the energy by doing some of the stuff that would otherwise tire her out... and turn her on in her head before trying to start on her body.
