My husband says the reason we don’t have sex is that his libido is low. He says he never feels like it. He masturbates all the time, though, and I notice every time he comes to bed. It makes me feel unwanted. My self-esteem has really plummeted. How do I deal with this? I’ve talked to him about it, and he says he does it because it helps relieve stress. Anything will help

His libido isn’t low if he’s masturbating all the time. Is he watching porn?
Sounds like he has an addiction to masturbating.
If he’s watching porn then he’s got a porn addiction.
Sorry my ex was the same way.
Seems like he needs help.
Slap his hand away and ride that Johnson.

Hes cheating or thinking about it. Most likely has become addicqtd to porn. He doesn’t wanna do anything with you because he has gotten used to unrealistic porn and your just too real for him… went through it with ex husband. Don’t blame yourself. Whatever you do. The problem is with him.

Honestly depending on his age…his testosterone could be low…just because he’s still masturbating doesnt mean he doesnt love you anymore…talk to him when y’all are both calm. Ask him to please see a doctor and let him know how unwanted you feel. Maybe go to a counselor as well. If he is rude and doesn’t reciprocate after the talk,you may have to seek further actions… wish you luck

Sex is exhausting even if it’s fun, masturbating is easy and quick. Maybe he doesn’t feel desirable either, make the first move and do all the work possibly rather than assume you’re the problem

Maybe he’s having erectile issues. He might be masturbating to experience the orgasm, but doesn’t want to have sex for fear that he won’t please you. I highly suggest an open dialogue with your partner. Best of luck!

Offer to help him and some kissing might change things around. Or ask him if wants to watch you he might want to help. Could lead to more activity.
There’s definitely a deeper problem here as to why he’s doing this. Might be a good idea to go to counseling if you can’t solve anything by talking to him. It definitely doesn’t sound healthy or normal, so please try to get to the root of the problem as to why he’s doing this. Just my thoughts. Hope you can reconcile your marriage and be intimate again. Wish you the best.
he should not be masturbating

Pray for the intimacy of emotion to return and try to have a romantic dinner, go down memory lane, talk in his ear about how great, handsome, and wonderful he is…kiss his neck, lick his face, bite his chest, rub him in the crest of his back at the bottom, check him out, kiss him slowly, and minister to him physically…it is a psychological thing…get him warmed up before you take him on the freeway…if he doesnt respond to that, just pay cloosssseeeeee attention to his behavior, schedule, and smell. Pray that God reveal what is going on. He will show you.
Another factor could be medication…if he’s on any chronic meds then perhaps discuss with your doctor

Find your local adult store and take a trip with him. There are a lot of things to keep both of you guys satisfied and they also sell pills to help with sex drive for both women and men.
Currently there. He doesn’t find me attractive anymore. My self esteem has hit an all time low… Not kidding. I’m so done with everything.
Ok dont leave him and dont cheat on him. I will say his hand can squeeze it harder and makes it feel better. I also can say when you have sex he may not can get off. When you have sex put your hand on his penis even when it is inside of you and squeeze hard. Then loosen the squeeze more and more each time. Hang in there it gets better.
I feel like all guys prefer porm over actual sex with thier woman. Trust me I feel your pain 
we have fought about it quite a bit and it never changes. Guys like seeing random different women and a quick nut more than actually putting in any effort. Even when I will do all the work… hes not very intrested, maybe once every 3 or 4 weeks smh. They have been jacking off thier whole life it’s hard to make them understand why it upsets thier woman when they prefer it over being intimate. Sorry and your not alone

Could be meds he’s taking, hormone imbalance, stress, depression, anxiety.
Have you’ve tried acting out a fantasy? Maybe write an exotic letter to him telling him one of your fantasies in your short exotic letter. I agree about sex toys…some people view them as taboo, when it can enhance anyone’s sex life. If you masturbate yourself, time it upon him arriving home from work and let him see you self stimulating yourself…majority of men LOVE seeing a woman doing this. Order him upon seeing you…be dominate. Take control. If y’all feel "uncomfortable " going to a novelty shop, go online and shop together, rent soft porn together, it doesn’t have to be xxx but there are movies that are pretty racy and have story lines actually, spice things up, don’t give up…for now. If you do not get any reactions, seeing him excited, wants to continue to give excuses then it could be: medically something wrong, has fallen out of love for you, and/or has a person of interest…and 1 thing most people do not think of is the slim possibility he could be gay. There are many people who suppress these desires even in today’s time. It happens. Good luck.
It will not get any better - trust me, I know from first hand experience. Life is short. Move on and find someone who will do what he is clearly too lazy and too selfish to do. You deserve much better!

Lots of masterbation desensitizes some ppl
Mine says the same, has no nocturnal erections and doesn’t masturbate to my knowledge. Now I am going the same way. At 62 and happy apart from the sex thing, maybe this is as good as it gets
Sweet heart, it happens to the best of relationships sometimes. This is why it’s so important to have something to fall back on other than just sex! Like LOVE, FRIENDSHIP AND COMPANIONSHIP!!! If he masterbates everyday, most likely he’s not cheating, sometimes it’s just easier to do that instead of putting in a full workout! Does he work a lot? Does he have a bad back or body pain? Sometimes it is health issues. A lot of things could be playing a factor! As you get older, sometimes the sex just fizzles out sometimes, and masterbation is the easy way out. Maybe you should try it lol😉 P.S don’t cheat on him like some ppl are saying to do! Stay classy.
When u been with same person forlongtime life get boring specials when u have kids masturbating is normal men will be men …If I cought my partner on dating site looking for sexual attraction and playing game an we still together his doom it’s over no hesitation 
it’s better to be honest
Trust me, I’ve been in that situation. He’s cheating either mentally or physically. or on apps/ not the right guy. You will find someone better that will do everything you want without you having to say a word. He doesn’t care anymore.
If he’s stressed, then worrying about pleasing someone else isn’t always the best reliever. Could be a medical issue. Low t, depression etc. The majority of the time someone’s sex drive drops, there’s an explanation.
You need to tell him that you have stress and feelings too and sex is good for relieving it for you too. I’m sorry! Try and communicate how you feel and see if that changes! Hoping it does for you!

If he is beating off then nothing wrong with his libido…if it was low he wouldnt want to beat off either…unless he truly does have an issue with it staying hard during sex and he is embarrassed. Either way…time to sit down and have a serious heart to heart.

I would not have my husband jerking off in my bed. He can go do that in another room. That is disrespectful, especially since he’s not in the mood for the real thing and he knows it bothers you. If he is having an issue he needs to see the doctor. If you have an appointment with your doctor, mention it to them. Maybe they’ll have some suggestions for you. I hope things work out for you.

Finding someone to cheat on your husband with is definitely not the solution. I seriously cannot believe people are using that as an option. I would just sit down and have an honest conversation with him. I agree if he is able to masterbate then his libido definitely isn’t low. There is another underlying issue.

Ummmm No Ma’am, if he is materbating he IS getting an erection so there’s Nothing wrong with his Libido! Men are as responsible for the level of intimacy in thier marriage as thier WIFE! You are OBVIOUSLY willing to have sex, So the issue ISNT YOU, what he is doing is DISRESPECTFUL! He is receiving all the BENEFITS from being married to you and eluding his responsibility in his marriage to YOU, If you have had a talk and told him how this behavior makes you FEEL and he’s done nothing to correct it, He is being SELFISH plain and simple! The only needs being met ARE HIS! I wouldn’t TOLERATE this ! You dont have to either! My advice is to look at you’re Life and ASK yourself, Is this REALLY an argument I as a woman should be having with the Man that chose ME ? IF the answer is NO, time to consult an Attorney.

If his libido was genuinely low he wouldn’t feel like anything sexual, let alone be getting himself off as frequently as he is. There’s definitely something more to it that only a conversation can bring out. I agree it is stress relieving and probably a quick release to him, but having proper intimacy with you and a good sex life is probably a hell of a lot better for his ‘stress’. I think he’s just making excuses, is being lazy or he’s up to something 
I’d dig a bit deeper if it was me and try to get to the bottom of it!

Currently going though this myself. Try communicating with him but honestly he is being a jerk and lazy.
Tell your husband these things, the most simplest, loving gestures can relieve stress
Definitely not Libido if he is masturbating everyday. Cant emphasize this enough ; TALK TO HIM! Have him tell you the truth. Bring up the fact that if it was caused by Libido he would not want to masturbate.
I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he’s being honest. Low testosterone can be a real problem. And if he’s having issues, it could be embarrassing to him to be intimate with you, therefore he would resort to masterbation because he feels inadequate. I’d open the line of communication to suggest that he get to his doctor and have his hormones checked to be sure. But I definitely wouldn’t jump the gun in saying he’s lying without exploring his health first.

I’ve heard of this problem for so many. The problem with masturbating
1: They become so use to the way it feels, nothing else feels good to them. They can control the sensation with this.
2: When a man chooses maturation over sex with his partner it’s wrong!!! WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!
I would say if he doesn’t agree to counseling and you miss that intimacy (which you have every right to miss) their may not be much hope. This is very selfish on his part. His libido is low? Yet he can masturbate? I call BS!! You deserve better, you deserve to be loved!!

If he had a low libido he wouldn’t even masterbate. There’s more too it and you need to have a proper talk with him to find out what. He’s up to something. Even with depression if masterbating it’s not affecting his sex drive.
I go straight to thinking is there someone else to be honest. Is work too much, and he doesn’t have the energy for a full night of passion. Could he have some underlying health issues or in pain and hasn’t told you. Has any of his other behaviour changed? Please don’t just oush it to aside, as your happiness is just as important as his and your children need their mum to be happy.
Wow ,he’s odd, get rid of him ?
It sounds like he has probably become addicted to porn, this addiction dulls the frontal lobe just like hard drugs. In return he can’t function in bed because the addiction has stopped his physical need for satisfaction and now its just visual. I would suggest talking to him about your needs and getting some therapy.
If he doesn’t comply kick him to the curb, it’s not worth loosing yourself for a man.

We’re missing a lot of context here. How long have these two been together? Did they ever have a different sex life than they do now or did she marry him hoping it would change? Are there any mental or physical health factors? Has he ever enjoyed sex with a partner?
I personally have an insanely high libido, but there are still times when I wouldn’t want to have sex, but would seek the self soothing that masturbation can bring. It’s not always about sex. If he’s never been particularly interested in sex, it is possible he’s asexual, and really does just use masturbation as a stress reliever/method of self soothing.
Given the lack of information here, I’m going to guess it’s a fair bet that she hasn’t talked to him much or at all. Communication is needed.

You just have to tell him what you want and what you’re willing to put up with. I’d say in this situation masturbating is cheating. He gets his but you don’t. I’d take it as such when normally I wouldn’t. I’d tell him that too. We do things all the time that we don’t feel like doing but we do them. He needs to get with the program and realize you’re a human with wants and needs and he better check himself. Life is too short.

Someones it’s easier to jerk it over putting in the effort to have sex. It could be that HE’S not feeling wanted in his own way or is feel emasculated due to some reason or another. But most women don’t wanna hear about stuff like that and will just tell you to leave without trying to understand why. A majority of women don’t think a man can be in his head just as a woman can and sometimes (and often) don’t feel like performing but also feel like getting some kind of release. It’s incredibly unhealthy in your relationship to just assume something is wrong with you or with him without REALLY getting deep into it, which can definitely take time to talk about.

Have you tried opening up the marriage? One of my best friends had bedroom problems and I suggest seeing other people (responsibly of course) and that’s when he discovered he’s a watcher. After watching his partner with others and enjoying it, it brought new excitement to their bedroom. He told me the sex has been great ever since. And when they get in ruts, they invite a friend over.
Now, if he pulls the whole “I can see other women but you cant see other men” then leave his ass cause he’s just dead inside and wants someone new.
