Should men be forced to remain in sexless marriages?

It seems that there are many men who are stuck in marriages in which their wives are simply not interested in having sex with them. Of course, when you listen to women on the outside of said marriage put in their two cents, they might obviously suggest that the man is doing something wrong in some way. They might suppose that it is his fault that the woman isn’t sexually into him. Granted, that may be the case. It may be that the guy hasn’t been in tune with the woman’s emotional needs, it may be that the guy hasn’t treated her well, etc. In those cases, it is quite understandable why a woman wouldn’t feel connected on those to him to have sex with him.

That being said, it may also be that the guy is very nice, is trying to do all of the right things as best as he knows how, etc., but for whatever reason, his wife may not want to sleep with him. Now, I am aware that some people might say that no one is entitled to sex, even in the confines of a marriage. fair enough. That being said, though, is it fair for a man to be neglected his needs in a marriage if that was at least implied to be a part of the marriage agreement? Would people feel the same way if the tables were turned? If a woman wanted to have sex with her husband, but he was never in the mood, would they feel that she should just deal with it?

In my opinion, if a person isn’t sexually attracted to the person they are in a relationship with, let alone a marriage with, they probably shouldn’t be together to begin with. A lot of people lack sympathy for men, but how do they think a man is supposed to feel about himself if his own wife doesn’t want to touch him? Again, this is assuming if he hasn’t actually done anything wrong.

And now, I’m not really an advocate of cheating or infidelity. Personally, I think it’s better for people to break it off with whoever they are with before they start seeing someone else. That being said, I understand that there are some reasons that would make such more difficult, such as if people are married with children, dependent upon each other financially in some way, etc. This is not a justification, but it’s just saying that one understands why it may be difficult in some situations to break things off or divorce before moving on, that’s all.

Of course, this can go into a whole different territory of whether or not people should give people a chance, even if the attraction isn’t super strong. I’ll admit, I’m not sure how to look at these things myself or if I’m hypocritical. On the one hand, I do think that it seems messed up and unfortunate for women to be extremely shallow when it comes to the men that they want. But on the other hand, I also don’t think it’s fair for them to “settle” for a guy who they really aren’t that attracted to only to deny him sex within the confines of a marriage.

So what are your thoughts on this? Do you think it is understandable for a man would step outside of his marriage and have sexual intercourse with someone else if his own wife doesn’t want to touch him? Do you think it’s also understandable if the situation was reversed? Why do you think that some women aren’t intimate with their husbands if their husbands aren’t bad husbands? What do you think is the best solution for such matters? Thank you for reading and thank you so much more for commenting.
