Little To No Sex In Relationship

What you should do if your long-term relationship has become stagnant, passionless and you have little to no sex.

In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a very frustrated father of two young children. He says his wife is overly protective of their kids to the point that they can’t even go out on dates anymore, because she refuses to have a babysitter watch their kids. She also sleeps in the same bed with their kids and not with him.

They only have sex about five times per year, and he really resents her for making their marriage take a back seat to her being a mom. He is about ready to leave his wife, but he asks if anything can be done to turn it around. I share some things of what he can do to give his relationship the best chance for success, provided she is willing to participate. My comments are in (bold parenthesis like this below) in the body of his email.

Little To No Sex In Relationship

Hi Corey,

I have been married to my wife for six years now, and we have sex about 5 times a year, which is way less than I’m comfortable with.

(Dude, I don’t blame you. You’re basically roommates and occasional friends with benefits. And obviously, that ain’t what you signed up for. Typically in relationships that go sideways, when I do phone sessions with guys that are married, living together or in a long-term relationship with somebody, when things aren’t going well, it’s usually one of two things. They stop dating and courting their girl or wife, or they don’t know how to communicate with them, so the woman doesn’t feel heard and understood. When the woman feels heard and understood, the legs open, and when she doesn’t, they close.)

She knows how important sex and affection are to me, and she still withholds it anyway.

(I’d say, there’s a good chance she probably doesn’t feel heard and understood, and you probably haven’t been courting her properly. It’s one of the two or maybe a combination of both.)

I know that I am responsible for some of this, but I also feel she has unreasonable expectations of me.

I have listened to hundreds of your videos and get that I need to make her feel safe and comfortable, that I need to court her, and I need to be a mysterious, alpha male.

(Well, if you’re really serious about saving your marriage and turning your relationship around, you need to read my book 10-15 times. The fact that you’re just watching a bunch of videos tells me that you’re lazy and you’re cherry picking information. The idea is, all the videos are based on the assumption that you have read my first book, How To Be A 3% Man. There’s no excuse for not reading the book, because you can actually read it for free on my website by subscribing the the email newsletter.

You’ve got to learn the fundamentals. If you’re not willing to learn the fundamentals, there’s nothing I can do to help you. You might as well start talking to a divorce attorney. You must change your behavior. If you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’re going to continue to get what you always got. You must participate in your own rescue.)

However, none of these things are fully possible, because she is 100% focused on caring for the children.

(When you’re in a relationship, when you’re married and parenting, the relationship with your significant other should come first and the kids come after that, because if you don’t focus on having a great, strong relationship between the two of you, the relationship’s not going to last, and your kids are going to suffer the consequences of that.

To give you an example of what does happen sometimes, after my mother had my brother, who was three years younger than me, something changed in her, and she became very overprotective, didn’t like a lot of people being around her kids, and that became her sole mission for living and existing in life. In a lot of ways, she neglected my father, and kind of put him in the back seat. Obviously, if you’ve read my books, especially my second book, Mastering Yourself, then you know where things eventually ended up with my mother. Some women will change and will make it next to impossible to have a relationship.)

She is extremely overprotective of them and won’t allow babysitters to watch the kids, and it makes it impossible for us to date.

(I can see that being difficult. If she won’t even let family members babysit the kids, that’s kind of ridiculous and unreasonable.)

She also co-sleeps with a 2 and 5-year old in a different room than me and refuses to stop until the kids don’t want to anymore.

(Now the kids are in charge of the marriage and relationship. She basically has submitted to the will of her children. That is not going to be a recipe for success. She can’t just neglect and ignore her husband. That’s absurd. That’s not normal behavior.)

She is even refusing a free trip to a 5-star resort in Mexico with me, because she is worried about leaving the children for a week. I have confronted her on this, (I always stand up for myself), and she is fully aware of my feelings on the issue. I feel like I could fix some of this, but the rest is out of my control.

Honestly the whole thing just makes me really angry. It makes it hard to want to court her, when deep down I resent her, that she would devalue our relationship like this.

(That’s probably something you should tell her when you sit down and have a conversation about this. You need to have a heart-to-heart with your wife. If you want things to change, you’re going to have to make the effort. You have to tell her you want to get back to dating and having fun together, because at this point, you two are basically glorified roommates.

She may be unwilling to change. She may dig her heels in and just say nope. And if she’s unwilling to compromise and unwilling to get back to dating, having fun and playing together, there’s not a lot you can do. Some women get to this point, and it might not be salvageable.

Again, it requires the two of you willing to work on your relationship. What it sounds like is, she’s willing to give the children control of your marriage and relationship, and any guy would resent that. That’s not normal behavior.)

It makes me want to leave her and get back at her for making me so miserable for years.

I am torn. I could try to sweep her off her feet, but I don’t feel like she deserves it.

Bob

(Either way, whether it’s with your wife or a new woman, you have to continually date and court her. I’d say 99% of the guys who come to me that are in a similar situation, they’re already in marriage counseling and therapy, and their wife still doesn’t want to sleep with them and have sex with them.

I would give it at least 90 days. Make the effort to start dating and courting her again, and I highly recommend you read my first book, How To Be A 3% Man, 10-15 times so you can clean up your game and start learning to be more playful. Because right now, being more pissed off at her, being angry all the time and saying “I’m not going to date her because she isn’t giving up the pussy,” that’s not a winning strategy. That’s a strategy that will get you to the point where the two of you will be having no sex at all.

If you can control how you show up, how you date and court her, you start doing everything right as a man, you start acting masculine, you become playful, you start focusing on your purpose and mission, you get back to the gym and taking care of yourself, making yourself a great catch, you’re doing these things because you want to be a better man. You’re not doing it just because you want to get back in your wife’s box. And you will either re-attract your wife and things will get better, or not.

Be the perfect husband, follow the things I teach in my book, How To Be A 3% Man, and if after 90 days, she still has the attitude of “Fucking pound sand. I’m not interested in going on dates. I’m not interested in sleeping in your bed anymore. I’m not interested in compromising in any way,” and she’s unwilling to participate, then what are your choices? You either put up with a loveless, sexless marriage, or you say “Fuck this. I want to be a great father and a great example to my children someday when they’re old enough to understand what’s going on, and therefore, I can’t make my wife do what I want her to do.”

She has to choose this willingly. If she’s unwilling to choose it, then you’re going to choose to leave her and go find somebody else. But you have to give it at least 90 days where you get back to doing everything right, because if you just keep going the way you’re going and watching a few videos here and there, shit ain’t going to get any better.

If you do everything right for 90 days, and it doesn’t work out, you gave it your best shot. Go talk to your divorce attorney and plan your exit strategy. Pull the trigger and leave, because your kids need to see what a happy healthy relationship looks like. If you just stay in it for the kids like a lot of people do, eventually she’s going to cut you off and you’re going to be getting no sex. You’re going to be angrier, and you’re going to have a situation where you’re basically roommates in a loveless, sexless marriage.

When your kids grow up, that’s all they’re going to know. That’s the example that you and your wife have set for them, therefore that’s the kind of relationship they’re going to get in. So not only do you need to look out for yourself, but you need to think about your children and providing them the best example, because it will help them not to make the same mistakes you have made in your life.)

“It takes two people who are ready, willing, able and open to having a relationship to make it work. One person can’t make all the effort exclusively to make a relationship work without the others mutual effort. You only have control over what you do in relationship. You could be the best partner in the world, but if the other person is unwilling or refuses to make the required effort to make it work, sometimes walking away to find someone else is your only option to find happiness again. Life is too short to be miserable and put up with someone who is unwilling or unable to do what is necessary to make a relationship work. If you’re a parent, the best thing you can do for your kids is to leave a dysfunctional relationship, so you can attract a great partner and be a great example of what love is supposed to be. Your kids will imitate whatever example you set for them. That’s something to think about.” ~ Coach Corey Wayne

  1. Hey Coach,

    This is basically my relationship, except I’m the woman.

    Tomorrow is our 8th anniversary. In the almost 4 years we’ve lived in our current house, I have never slept the whole night in my husband’s bed. Occasionally, when we have sex, I’ll fall asleep in his room for a couple of hours at most. But then I will get up and go back to our son’s room.

    Our son is getting old enough now that I really don’t want to sleep in his room any more, but I don’t have any where else to sleep. The couch is too short, and my husband’s bed is less than inviting. I’ve even thought of sleeping in the car in the garage, but it’s so far away from the bedrooms that I wouldn’t be able to hear our son if he woke up in the middle of the night and needed assistance (he’s autistic and recently diagnosed with asthma).

    Why isn’t my husband’s bed inviting? For years, I’ve only gone to his bed for sex. If I’m in his bed, we have sex. I don’t really want to have sex every single night, so to avoid having to tell him no all of the time, I simply don’t go in there.

    Why don’t I want to have sex with my husband? Because he can be a real jerk sometimes. When I get stressed out, he’s not a good person to vent to. He gets defensive at things that I wasn’t directing at him, and he often gets mad at me for ever showing any kind of emotion besides happy (grumpy, tired, hurt, frustrated, etc.). He even gets mad at me for being grumpy when I’m sick and stressed out about having to still take care of everything despite being sick. He gives me no grace and he never asks about how I feel. He never even offers his time to sit down and talk about fun things we could do together, let alone our actual marital problems. We don’t do anything fun together. When he finally offers to do something remotely fun with me (like play a game together), I’m already in such a foul mood that I’d rather spend some time alone and not with him. And wouldn’t you know it, he can never find time to reply to my texts, but he always has several conversations with other people going on via text and social media. In short, he’s a big grump who spends more time talking to others than he does to me.

    I pointed your stuff out to him months ago, and while he started working on a few things, they haven’t really helped. He’s given up on dates because I started refusing them (we had like 5 coffee dates in a row, always on Wednesday at roughly 10 am, and at a new place each time). The coffee dates weren’t leading to sex, which I pointed out to him was the purpose of the dates, so he stopped even offering those. I offered in-home date nights where we make a nice dinner together, but he hasn’t helped plan a single one.

    It makes me incredibly sad that our marriage is this way. Sometimes my husband tries to be amorous, but I really can’t reciprocate. It feels like the only reason he gives me any kind of attention is so we’ll have sex. But even that has declined since I’ve been finding evidence of masturbation.

    Do you know how much it hurts to basically be ignored until he wants sex? I’m the live-in nanny and housekeeper, who takes care of our child and keeps our household running. And the only worth I seem to have as a wife and woman has to do with my anatomy.

    I refuse to live this way for the rest of my life.

  2. Hi Corey 🙂 Thanks for the enthusiasm and earnest work to help your fellow men! I wish you told us what your relationship status is, at your age, and with your skills I assume that you have a great woman as a wife and some wonderfully turned out children? Don’t be ashamed to show this, your success would make your advice look much more trustworthy.
    I am 40, and by now I figured out by myself the hard way many of the things you teach.
    It seems to me that if I was that guy, what I would do is to do the same as her, go join your family in their bed, you’re the one that is sleeping alone, don’t you see that? Also, when you have children they ALWAYS have to come first, so like her, become obsessed with being the best dad in the world, if you are too stupid to understand you owe that to your family, then realise that most women find being a great dad very sexy, and she is obviously into parenting more than the average woman, so she’s gonna love that!
    You have a big advantage compared to your wife, you are making money, so use that to win your kids over, make them love you more than they love her, did anybody say they like disneyland? Just tell the kids if they would like that, and that if they want it you will take them, but only if they do something that they are supposed to do, and that your wife hasn’t manage to make them do despite long protracted efforts.
    Play with your kids for hours a few times a week, be that happy charismatic funny dad that kids adore, and when they misbehave, be gentle but firm, and after you tell them off, explain to them why you did that, and tel them that you love them and believe in them.
    Teach your kids all the important positive things you know, and be patient, gentle and unrelenting. Become their hero. And take lots of pictures of you being extremely hapy with them. Make sure there are a lot more than there are with your wife, so when you look back at the photos, it looks like u r doing by far the most parenting.
    When they make mistakes, always forgive them, but make sure you first discipline them.
    Love them deeply, strongly and unconditionally, blast them with it constantly and unrelentingly. Love is a feeling, cultivate it and make it stronger and stronger.
    Instead of going to the gym looking at yourself in the mirror while you lift weights and bitch about your wife in your head, or to the other douchebags there, use play time with the kids as your gym, kids abslutely love joyful high energy acrivities, and it will make both you and your kids fit. Take them to the beach and get in the water, or the local swimming pool and teach them to swim. Chase them around while they giggle like crazy and, lift them all the time and spin them around making them extatic. Make your play sessions four times a week’s worth of hard treadmill, and weight lifting and all that stuff you would be doing at the gy if you wanted to become a mean machine, and Impress the kids with your vitality and strength, your wife will find that extremely sexy. This will not only be amazing for the kids and your relationship, but your kids will learn that and do it with their kids, instead of learning to be a grumpy cunt that can’t get laid.
    Busy yourself with this and work and pursue your wife’s attention less than she pursues yours, but when you give it to her, be sexy and funny, and charismatic, but give her the vibe that you don’t give a shit if she digs it, you are doing it because you are a gentleman.
    Masturbate to keep a level head and do it in a way that will prepare you to give her a long hard fuck that will blow her brains out (train yourself to go hard and for a long time without an orgasm, and watch videos of guys fucking the shit out of girls and making them scream like crazy, and visualise yourself doing that to her. If you are shit in bed (and you probably are otherwise she’d be after it like heroin), this is your chance to become better. Watch how a man is supposed to fuck a woman like Rocco Siffredi and Manuel Ferrara. If you practice a few times a week, on top of the cardio and strength training, you will become a lion in bed in a few months even without actual sex practice. Look at your wife with an intense confident sexual gaze a few times a week, especially when she is doing something that looks sexy, really push that libido with a strong magnetic look while you make images in your head of how you will fuck the shit out of her, but with 0 neediness, you are doing this to tease her, and imagine that if she comes to you, you will run your hands all over her until she gets wet and flushed, then tell her how hot she is, and how obsessed you are with her beauty, then drop her, and then go do something else that is important and shows discipline, preferably that she is intimidated by and wishes she would be as good as you at. Slap her ass, and tell her damn that looks tasty a.f. and flirt with her every chance you get, blast that sexual energy into her, but make no attempt to sleep with her, only do it when she comes to you for it.
    When she asks for sex, this is your moment, don’t look like a grateful rescue dog, dominate her with a confident fiery gaze, that will make her feel like a horny insecure teen ager, grab her like a caveman, take her to bed and don’t stop fucking her hard and sensual until she looks like her head is going to explde from bigger and bigger orgasms, and when the last really big one is coming don’t give it to her, so she will be obsessed with getting it soon, pull out and cum on top of her while she whimpers confused that the orgasm didn’t quite make it
    Then say to her, I’m sorry I haven’t been doing this to you more often, it’s hard to find the time and energy with work and the kids, but I feel so close to you now, I think we should probably both make the effort.
    When she comes back to you in a few hours or a couple of days begging for sex, do the thing where you paw her and turn her on and kiss her passionately, then tell her discipline first, then at a later time when the chores are done, you will take her to the bedroom and give her what she needs. Then keep flirting and teasing and whispering in her ear what you are gojng to do to her later. Later, do the same thing, except this time push her over the edge and give her that orgasm she is not sure she can handle without her head exploding.
    Buy her presents that will help her do the positive things she is obsessed with, such as kids stuff.
    If she doesn’t want a babysitter, get a language tutor instead, hire some french girl to teach them, or whatever you think is important for them to learn, say to the wife that it is callous to deny them this advantage, and you are putting your foot down, the tutoring is happening.
    Clean up your diet, and be more disciplined than her in every way.
    Never bitch and moan, tell her things that you have an issue with calmly and succintly, and if she starts some bullshit, don’t interrupt her, let her make a complete fool of herslef, listen to her until she finishes talking looking like you care about what she has to say, and despite the fact that she is being a bitch and it is irritating you, you see past that, to her humanity and her best intentions, and you love her, keep looking at her like you understand her for a couple more seconds than it is normal before replying to people, then tell you don’t think arguing is the answer, and perhaps you should both think about it, and schedule a time in a few hours after you both had time to think about what was said and you will have a calmer wiser way about the matter, then dart off and become mr happy with the kids and leave her miserable and asamed of herself while you and the kids are having the time of your life.
    You get the idea.
    Also, Corey, stop talking about politics, it is divisive, people that aren’t stupid understand that all politicians are assholes, and if you look like a fanboy, you will only attract idiots that like the same asshole you are talking about. If you want to push some creepy right wing agenda, do it more subtly.
    Much love, and best wishes to be able to help as many people as possible live their best life and help others do that too!
