Thanks for your input Lychee, Also thank you April for your sympathy. It's great to know that a woman can see a man's side of things.

But thats the problem.....she just says that she doesn't want to have sex. That is her reason, and she thinks that I should just respect her, and take care of my needs on my own. I've explained to her that masturbation is not going to take care of my needs, and she just replies, "well that's your problem, then."

She is really being quite mean about it, actually, but our financial situation right now, and the fact that we have two kids makes things really difficult to just part ways.

As for my male friends, well, they are not really helpful, they suggest getting the sex on the side, but that's not really what I'm after. I really love my wife and want to be faithful, but I need her to show me the affection I need. And to be honest, I really only want to make love to her, and not anyone else.

Any other thoughts?
