Would less women be cheated on in marriage if they didn't withhold sex?

There are many studies done which shows that married men tend to be dissatisfied with the amount of sex they get in their marriage. As men we know that women often weaponize sex (or possibility of having sex) to get favors/services from men and compel them to do things for them. Many women get married to men not because they are very sexually attracted to them but for their stability/resources. And once she has that ring and guarantee from the government of walking away with 1/2 your wealth if she so chooses to divorces she does not need to keep having sex with you since she got everything she wants.A lot of men into their marriage often get way less frequent sex and when they do they women pretty much does it unenthusiastically to keep the man somewhat happy and not to bitch and complain to her about it. Many men as a result end up cheating on their wife; men often do so due to combination of lack of sex and their wife no longer taking care of themselves as they did in their youth.Do you think that if women gave sex as frequently as they would say a boyfriend, who could leave her whenever he wants that more men would not cheat on their wives?

  • Possibly.

    The bottom line people are too selfish and it goes both ways.

    If a couple was committed to putting the other first and fulfilling their needs relationships would go so much better. Instead most are focused on what the other person does FOR them and they keep score and keep record of wrongs and always want to even the score.

    I'm sure if the women in these cases were interviewed many would say that the man just comes home... sits on the couch and watches TV and then he'll just want to jump on her and "got off" and then go to sleep and she feels like his masturbation post.

    She'd probably say he was withholding from her.

    She'll miss spending time with him... him having real conversations with her and opening up, some connection, going out and doing things together, things that make her feel close to him and she wants him sexually.

    On his end he has desire for her and she rejects him when he initiates. So both sides may feel the other is holding something they need back from them.

    If most couples were focused on serving their mate and fulfilling their needs both parties would be fulfilled.

    If a guy does stay in good shape and he spends time with his wife and puts forth some effort to be romantic and then she still withholds sex then yes that marriage is in trouble and I'd guess cheating is a possibility.

  • Yes and No. Yes, because some women use sex to manipulate their husbands, which is wrong and a really rotten move; no, because men who marry for the wrong reason would cheat on their wives even if said wives acted like harlots for them. Sexual compatibility can be learnt, but some people refuse to learn it. Also, no one can expect good sex in a relationship characterised by base selfishness or abusive behaviour, or one where issues related to areas other than the sexual have been allowed to go unresolved and fester.

  • Not sure, but I think if a woman won’t have sex with her husband, then it’s not fair for her to not let him get it elsewhere.

    • Fucking yes

  • Men still cheat, even when the woman is willing to give him sex.

  • Of course, most women get cheated on because of their attitude and supremacy battles.

  • no, i think it really doesn't have to do as much with that. cause you could just jack off, if you wanted to be faithful. or... you know... leave them. cause that's the sensible thing to do, if the relationship is not ok and she's not willing to help fix it for you. cause partnership is about working together. if they're not doing their part, leave them.

  • Sex isn't real, though

  • Withholding sex as manipulation is a huge mistake. It is a fools errand.

    • True.

  • Food, sex and not listening to continual bitching are the main items. If those minimum needs are met, it’s all good.

  • I believe in marriage if the couple want to have children together.
    Other than that no, not for me anyway.
    When you get married, you marry 3 people.
    The person you think they are.
    The person they really are.
    And the person they are going to become.
    Pretty hard to stay in love with all of them.

    • @gmann56 True love can overcome those changes.

    • @Mac-One According to the Hallmark Channel it happens.

  • well…yeah.

  • I would have to say yes to this. I will not stay in a relationship ship if the women doesn't want to have sex with me any more.. sorry but I like sex..

  • Yeah to an extent, but cheaters always cheat

  • Men should realize that marriage isn't good or fair anymore and won't last.

  • Maybe less will divorce but cheaters will cheat no matter how much sex because they are psychotic scumbags

  • Women use sex as a tool, a reward, and a weapon.
    Men need to stop letting them.

  • It's less black and white in reality. In some cases if a woman was not comfortable doing something sexually he wanted like swallowing his cum, it may drive the guy to look elsewhere. In reality cheating likely has more to do with personalities. If a girl's husband turns out to be a controlling jerk she is more likely to cheat than if he was not.

  • Always get a prenup, always. Don't marry anyone in stupid love only.
