My guy should fight it down. Even without sex in a marriage--some are unable--people who love and like each other need to touch, kiss, remember occasions, pay compliments, say thank you. We're a couple years away from our 50th Anniversary. Wish I were 45 again and knew what I know now. Too late for me, but women should think of ourselves as deserving fulfilled lives, too.

Part of the double standard derives from men's violent sexual possessiveness and murderous rage towards unfaithful women. Yet other women are also threatened by sexually frustrated unfaithful wives because philandering wives might become sexual competitors who might seduce their husbands or potential boyfriends.

Here, in Rio de Janeiro , I notice that it´s easier for working women to cheat but they still feel much more guilty. And also family would 'understand' better a man cheating and would even advise to women to forgive and remain married. I don´t think they would be so comprehensible with unfaithful women. Men are very 'proud' to openly admit his wife betrayl.
