In that movie Al Bundy was painted as having a dominant hot wife. So that's why it was displayed like that. I guess the programmers wanted all the men to be beated back with former days of glory so long ago, that's all the good they can remember.
There are guys who if they have sex with their wife, she will do some crazy crap to more than make up for sex he had with her. Thus the juice ends up not being worth the squeeze. There are other men who not a single woman could ever stimulate for that long of a period, after he conquers her it's onto the next.
This is one viewpoint and a way that things go. My question is why support someone or be there for someone who wants to have sex with other people? Those situations can get dangerous and your drawn into some bullsh1t that you never would've had to deal with if she didn't have a need to step out.
That is a reason, and also a reason some women allow their men to step out.
In the old days men were fvcking well into the 70's and 80's. If you use it you won't lose it. Most of todays libido drops are environmental and psychological. No one is going to keep desireing a ball breaking wife who either consistently rejects her man, or makes the hurdles and barriers to the sex so great that it's a turn off. Also womens desires aren't usually going strong AFTER meno pause. They dont' have strong desire but they STILL can choose to have sex. The ramp in a females sex drive in older years is between when she was fertile and before menopause fully sets in.
Imho it's better to not have a wife having sex on you. But some men are able to negotatiate various positions which work out for both. My question is why support someone who no longer wants to have sex with you, and isn't very helpful in other ways? What's the point?
