What do all of you in sexless marriages do for sex? What alternatives?

I've asked myself that too. Most of it has to do with the fact that I created a lot of family turmoil in the past and at my advanced age I don't want to do it again. Life ain't that bad - I just miss the sex and the emotional contact that comes with it.

It sounds like you have condemned yourself to a life sentence of deprivation to pay for your past mistakes, instead of living the very best life that you can in whatever time is left to you. 😢
 
I travel quite a bit so I do hookups (difficult now that I'm out of shape and I hate condoms - yes I use them if I hook up) or watch lots of porn and take care of myself. Sucks. Wife and I have sex maybe once a month. I'm not as interested in her since we've been together for five years and she has become less peaceful. But I love her and the kids. Sounds contradictory but it's true. I don't ever want to leave her.
 
try to usey imagination to get turned on and remember prrvious Ex-gf and hookups i had... and then masturbate if my wife is not willing.
 
I think it’s really common for women to have a higher drive than their male partners. It just isn’t talked about much (outside of forums like this). Lots of our thinking about what’s normal is infected with stereotypical ideas about male and female sexuality thay don’t really pan out in real life.
What is also not talked much is all those older couples who bring others in to make them happier sexually

So true, Polly. There is definitely too much stereotyping around sexuality. It's much more complex and nuanced in real life.

I totally agree! Although my wife very rarely instigated sex it didn't take much to revv her up. I think it was that she didn't want to appear slutish, part of that was her upbringing, taught by her parents in her younger years that sex was dirty. We worked hard on unleashing all that pent up sexual cravings.

Behind closed doors normal is what two consenting deem as normal. Sex is about fun and pleasure. Behind closed doors societal norms take a back seat.
 
Same here sexless marriage since 2016. So loads of masturbating, or living in my own fantasies. Find things that turn me on or arouses me, like wearing panties or wearing a chasity cage during the day.
