Today, my wife is treating me like I'm the devil, all because I refused to go on medication that would kill my sex drive, just so she wouldn't have to deal with me actually wanting to make love more than once a year. FML

Right now you have 666 YDI's. I'm pretty sure that's a sign!

You are understandably upset. But an interesting human failing is the belief that other people think or feel just as you do. So some folks get married to people with widely differing drives. Age, personal issues, infirmity or medication can affect your sex drive. Your body chemistry can play jokes on you as well. Take all these things into account and try to find out what the root cause of your significant others lack of interest is really about. Good luck and best wishes OP.

I would hope your entire marriage isn't based however much sex you had before you were married. So you can either A) take the medication and enjoy your time with her, or B) have a talk with her and either make some compromise or go your separate ways and try to find people more compatible with yourselves.

Sex is a fundamental part of a relationship. Of course the amount of intimacy after getting married should be an issue - if someone would rather a person needlessly take medication to stifle a sex drive than be intimate with their partner there are more issues at play than just sex. The medication should not even be an option, especially when the amount of sex is so low in the first place! More realistically their choices should be, a)do counseling/therapy to get to the root issue(s) or b)go their separate ways and find someone sexually compatible.

It may be a necessary part of YOUR relationships. But not everyone's is so physically based. Do you think everyone falls out of love when paralyzed, elderly, or sick?

Not everyone views sex as a necessary part of a relationship, 80. There doesn't have to be any root issues for people to not want to have sex, some people are just made that way. And therapy is by no means a cure-all for things like that. If anything it would probably do more harm than good in this situation.

As for the medication not being necessary, I think it's pretty safe to assume that OP bugs his wife about sex at least on a semi-regular basis. So he either needs to take the medication or find some other way to channel his sex drive.

"channel his sex drive"? It they're only having sex once a year then that channel is having technical difficulties.

Ok, there's a sex advice column called "Savage Love" that deals with this problem ALL the time. I VERY strongly suggest you read what he has to say about mis-matched sex drives. You need to hear it.

well....it all depends if it's a life/death thing. but if THATS her reasoning as opposed to your health? I would look at moving on. I was in a situation where I had VERY low SD, but it ended up being the person I was with not me. so yeah....just a thought. good luck OP

Is the medication otherwise medically necessary?

Sex is a marital duty. If she refuses, he has the moral right to find someone else.

Let me guess, she wants you on your anti depressants, anxiety, or most likely, paranoia pills? they don't make pills that JUST kill your sex drive. sounds like you need to be on them. then you might be stable enough to want to have sex with
