attracted to other men?

I have been happily married for a year now but all the while I can't help but to notice something......I am not as sexually attracted to my husband as I am to other men I see or men I have been with. Why is this? My husband is a handsome man. But I'm not "lustful", for the lack of a better word, towards him like I have been to others. I find myself fantasizing about other men and all those old feelings that I love and miss come back to me of kissing for the first time and the fireworks. I never really had that with him. And I have to snap myself back because I do have a WONDERFUL handsome husband. That i love with every inch of my heart. And we do have good sex. After I finally can get "ready to go". I'm just feeling so bad. Maybe I'm in a rut.

Re: attracted to other men?

  • I think it's common for people to fantasize about former lovers or someone you are attracted to. The important thing is not to act on those thoughts. Masturbation is a innocent way to release some of your pent up desires . Marriage takes work and every relationship goes in cycles so I would not feel badly if I were you.
  • Have you ever been attracted to him?

    Normal to be attracted to somebody else. There is nothing wrong with that.

    You never had fireworks with him???

    Might I ask why you married somebody you did not fancy?

    I don't get it...do you ladies think these guys will change into sex maniacs once the officiant has both of you say "I do"??? What you see is what you get and if he is not a sexual kind of guy before the wedding, he isn't gonna  be one afterwards, either.

    What you can do:

    Talk to him and tell him you want sex more often. it is up to him to ensure that you are sexually satisfied and if he cannot or will not achieve that, you have a lot of thinking to do. You decide where to go from there.

    Finally can get ready to go?

    Have you masturbated? if not, start.:)
