We’ve been having oral sex for the past few years, but it wasn’t until a  recent conversation that I realized just how much my husband loves it!  All that to say, we’ve been doing a lot more oral lately!
 
When doing oral on your husband  do you use any other lubricant besides  your saliva? Sometimes I find it hard to summon up enough saliva to get  the right amount of friction. I know they have different products out  there, but I’m curious what other people actually do.
Glad you are having fun with oral! I haven’t tried any other products  except my own saliva. Once in a while if I have had a cold, I might have  a cough drop tucked into the side of my cheek, and that produces extra  saliva. You could also try having a glass of water near by to keep your  mouth wet. If you find any products out there that you like, let us know! (See also: Numbing Sprays and Lube: Are They Safe?)

I recently tried using coconut oil which paired nicely with a massage.   Contemplating taking the dive and trying a flavored lube…

My wife enjoys sex with the hotel window blinds open, at times with a  couch or so in front of window, normally in a city and on floor that’s pretty high up. Same with in a vehicle, with light risk of being seen. At what  point do you think this is too risky? When should I attempt to reign  her back?
We get a lot of emails from husbands that would love to be in your position! Those instances sound a little risky, but I don’t think they are dangerous. It sounds like you are being pushed out of your  comfort zone though, which is not always a bad thing. I think there is a  line that you don’t want to cross, and if you are imposing yourself on  others I think you have hit that line. If nobody is actually seeing you and there is a little risk of being caught, that can be very exciting. (See also: the “public places” tag.)

My husband and I have not had sex in over two or three months. There have been times when I have been available for him to jump in and have sex  but he makes excuses and it ruins the mood for me.
For example, one day I was  in the shower and sent a steamy naked picture to him saying to join me. I  had my leg hiked up on the tub ledge and the shower curtain open to  expose my naked body with the water running over me. When he finally  came in he made a joke about the show I was watching (Outlander… which  has a lot of sex in it). I roll my eyes and he just stands there. I  say, well I don’t have my leg up here for the fun of it. He replies, oh, well my hands aren’t clean. I am glad he is worried about his  hands but I asked him to join me in the shower where he could easily  wash his hands or even wash his hands at the sink he was standing at. The excuse just kills my libido.
I asked about his excuses one night and he says he does  want to have sex with me. Even since then we still have not had sex.  Months before this I was trying to work out a sex schedule but he never  helped with the building of it. Especially on the day of, it was like  the last thing on his mind. I know he has stress at work sometimes, but nothing he has to bring home. I don’t think it’s his job distracting him, but I don’t know what else it could be. What  advice can you give?
It sounds like you have asked him if he wants to have sex with you, but  have you tried having a direct conversation? You could prep him in advance so he has time to think things over. “I really want our sex life to be great, and I would like to talk to you  about the current status and how to improve it. Can we  have a conversation tonight?” Set a specific time with a specific goal.  Ask him about his sexual satisfaction, and what his ideal sex life would  look like. Share with him what your needs are and what you want your  sex life to look like. Direct communication is the most helpful in  identifying problems and setting a course towards improving those  problems. It sounds like you are trying, and I’m sure it is discouraging. I hope this helps. I prayed for you now! (See also: How To Talk With Your Spouse About Sex.)

My husband has a hard time staying erect unless he is the one doing  the work… so if I get on top he often goes soft pretty quickly. It was  fine for a while but I’m getting tired of the same missionary / doggy style all the time, and after having children I find it’s harder for me  to climax. I used to not require much, but I’m really needing more clit  stimulation, or at least for him to last longer. I’ve sent him some  articles from this site, which worked only for the sex we had that  night (I suggested him giving me oral). I have also introduced the idea  of a cock ring but he is too nervous to try (I actually bought  one, which he still hasn’t tried, and mentioned getting stretchy ones  but he is still resistant.) I can’t sit up straight when I get on top of  him because he says it hurts his penis to bend backward more than 90  degrees. He also has to stimulate himself to get erect. 
 
I guess my question is, is this normal (he seems to think so)? What else  can I do to help keep him hard when I’m on top? Is it possible he has  ED? (I haven’t said this to him as I don’t want to hurt his feelings,  but I’ve thought it multiple times.) My confidence had taken a huge hit  since I actually love to be on top but he doesn’t seem to enjoy it  (obviously since he starts going soft). I do feel like I’m the only one  who is dissatisfied with our current situation, but he’s gotten so used  to the short 10 minute (or less) sex sessions without having to  stimulate my clit so I feel kind of bad asking for more. I do have a  vibrator but I don’t know how to introduce it into the bedroom. Any thoughts or advice you have would be appreciated.
I think communication could help you both a lot. Sex can be hard  to talk about but it’s important, and it’s ok to be direct in a  loving way.
As for him not being able to keep an erection when you are on top, this does seem worth talking to his doctor about. I know that will be  a hard topic to bring up, but if it helps him then it will be worth it  even if he gets upset at first.  For him having to stimulate himself to get erect, try  asking him how  you can be a part of that. Say something like, “If you tell me what would make you hard, I’ll try doing it.” The more that sex is focused  on your spouse the more you learn about each other, which makes sex even  better.
For your orgasm, communicate with him so  that he is part of finding the solution. You could tell him that it is  harder for you to climax after having kids, but would really like to  have more orgasms on a consistent basis, and ask if he has any ideas to  make that happen. Just like you are willing to do what it takes to get him hard, he will (should) be willing to do what it takes to give you the orgasms you want. You say that he seems satisfied with the current situation, so it may not be clear or obvious to him that you are not satisfied.
Husband “NE” writes:
My wife and I have been married for 8 years, and we got married as virgins. I love my  wife’s body and love sex a lot (always on my mind), but she doesn’t. She  hates sex. She initially liked oral but later hated it also. We don’t even  kiss. Currently we haven’t had sex in 4 months. She explains that she doesn’t know why she isn’t attracted to sex.
The few times we had sex it was mind blowing and she was actually  very wet, but now she says penis-in-vagina sex is very uncomfortable for her.
I have two major questions.
1. How can I make her long  for sex with me?
2. I can no longer attain a full erection. My penis doesn’t stand 100% erect,  only about 70%. I am worried that if I ever initiate  sex it might not be rigid enough for penetration.
My first thought is: has your wife ever had an orgasm? This question is not  a reflection on your skill or her body. It’s very common for women to  be unable have an orgasm during sex. Only around 30% of women can orgasm  from penetration during sex, which means that most women can’t! I would start there. If your  wife has had an orgasm, focus on helping her to have more. If she  hasn’t, focus on helping her have her first one.
Sex can be uncomfortable for  women if they are not aroused. You could start with just using your  mouth or hands (and plenty of lube), and play around her clit area for as long as it  takes. It can take as long as 45 minutes of stimulation for a woman to  orgasm. You can introduce a vibrator to this area as well.  Don’t put pressure on having sex, just focus on her arousal and orgasm. Getting into a  habit of having regular orgasms increases your desire for sex. If she  is in pain even when aroused, it may be something that she needs to talk  to her doctor about.
Make sure you communicate.  These conversations can be uncomfortable but the more you talk about  your sex life the easier it gets. Tell your wife that you want more  intimacy, you want to have an amazing sex life, and want to figure out  how it can be awesome for her too. Ask if you can spend some time  focusing on just her. Ask her if she is open to improving your sex life  Pray together about your sex life.
As a final note: we always pray for everyone who contacts us. God wants you and your spouse to have an awesome sex life!
