You bring up a good point - that clothes virtually need to be casual and probably easily replaceable when dealing much with young children. Also, of course with children there often is less money available for style.

My wife is an absolute workout fanatic. She is amazingly fit and youthful--looks like she could be in her mid 40s. I'm sure if I met her for the first time I would find her extremely attractive and appealing.

However, I have almost no interest in sex with her anymore.

Several reasons:

Male sexuality thrives on novelty and conquest. When you have "done the do" with a woman hundreds of time, a sort of sense of "been there, done that" sets in, no matter how objectively attractive she may be.

Moreover, her good looks nothwithstanding, she is something of an old poop! She is always upset about something or too tired or whatever. I think this is pretty typical of the entire female sex. They are inherently foul-tempered and have no sense of humor.

Mostly, though--and by far the major single factor--is simply that I have gotten too damn old! These days I don't think I could rouse much enthusiasm even at the prospect of being double-teamed by, say, Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson!

ok, while I have had respect for you in the past, the level of my respect for you to actually write this down has grown immensly, and now borders on unbrideled hero worship.

And you are hurling insults in response to what in particular?

I agree with your first point to an extent, but I just can't see not getting aroused occasionally, even if not due to her, and then a "when you can't be with the one you want, plug the one you're with" kind of thing setting in.

My wife luckily, does not, to this day, suffer from your second point.

As for your third point, I hope I never get old!!

No dope to speak of, especially for someone who was young in the '60s and '70s. Plenty of booze, though!

You left out the rim jobs...

Back to the OP's question:

12 years on, I still can't get enough of my wife.

True, but I should have added Oxford. Gives it a highbrow twist. Also fleeing the Japanese onslaught.

I'm shocked at the no dope thing. It's going to depress sales by at least 10%. You should just make something up.
