Experienced RP man here. Coming to MRP because I plan to get married and I'm opposed to spinning plates. I want mature male opinions that factor mature male goals into the equation. Life is not only about sex.
My LTR has a low sex drive. She rarely shit-tests me, and when she has I can't remember a single one I've failed. We have a very healthy Red-Pill dynamic. We met line-dancing 10 months ago, where she had to compete with the entire room for my attention. We have more or less sustained this dynamic. I have always been the Captain. I adore her. She idolizes me.
About four months ago there was a decline in sex. We never really had much sex, even from the start. From month six to month eight we had sex once a month. After ignoring the issue for those two months I told her that long-term, the sexual situation would not work for me. She was devastated but changed nothing. We carried on for two more months in the same manner.
We're breaking up because of it. I'm already starting to resent her, but I've done my damndest to be stoic about it. I've done a pretty good job of masking my frustration. What really gets me, however, is that she doesn't seem to register the fact that nearly all men need more than this. She doesn't offer blowjobs. She doesn't offer handjobs. I don't ask her or tell her to give them. Asking/telling is beneath me. I'm trying to get the point across that she needs to come up with some plan in the future or she risks only being kept by a man who will cheat on her. The other option is to find a man who also has a very low sex drive, but she seems to think that she is within the range of normal. She seems to think she can find a man who will be happy with this without making it a real point to find a man who will be happy with this.
Here are my questions:
What are your thoughts on the percentage of men who, in their mid to late twenties, consider sex once a month adequate? How much sex have you men needed as a minimum at this age?
What experiences have you had with relationships where the chemistry is there but the sex is not?
I really care a lot for this girl, but I feel like my hand is forced. At this point, I'm just looking for some clarity on what is and is not "normal".
