Since my husband found out he is infertile he doesn't want sex anymore.
For some couples that would be a blessing & would increase their sex life because there wouldn't be the nuisance of having to prevent a unwanted pregnancy (even in a marriage).....I know after I had my daughter & my gyno wouldn't tie my tubes (he said that it would create problems later on...back in the late 70's)...I wouldn't let my H touch me until he got a vasectomy to make sure I would NEVER get pregnant again.

Turned out there was a lot more wrong with our marriage than sex issues from even before the wedding so looking back, it was rather irrelevant.....but didn't get it at the time. It didn't improve our sex life because of all the other issues but it would have given those issues hadn't been there.

Sounds like he's got some other serious issues going on like I did that are creating his lack of interest in having good marriage sexual relations. Marriage counseling might help, but it might also open up other issues that do need to be dealt with & that may not be solvable like mine weren't......turned out I should have never married H in the first place because of the issues I had with him that I wasn't even totally aware of at the time. I had no idea what a normal relationship was like because my parents didn't have one....so I had nothing to compare my situation with & I didn't understand what I was really feeling about the marriage situation I was in.....not enough to even know that something wasn't right.

When depression hit me just before being married 25 years, even all the psychologists & pdocs had no idea just how much involved in that depression was the bad marriage.....as it got covered up with the loss of my career which opened up the issues with the marriage because I could no longer hide out in my career......but none of us got that until I finally was able to leave the marriage 13 years later.

We had no idea all the underlying issues that were going along because they had become the norm of the relationship.....but it definitely effected all aspects of sexual feelings I had for him.
