Is it normal to not think about sex to block it out?

Question

Is that a problem because i am not getting any until hubby gets home from Iraq? I tried to talk on messenger with him like that but with all that goes through over there it seems to be the last concern....so i have been able to not even think about it nor do i feel turned on at all anymore..is normal? is it just the stress i am going through?

Answer 1

It's not normal, but in your situation it's understandable. You have to wait until he comes back home. Try turning it into something positive, like hitting the gym or involving yourself in a support group.

Answer 2

Yes, it is normal, but let me commend you for being a faithful wife and not one of “those” people. If your husband has the ability to use web cam, you two could use that to spark up the flames. Even if you were to have some “Alone” time with yourself, it would be a healthy way to release some stress, while being faithful. If all else fails and you still think something wrong, it wouldn’t hurt to get a check up. Your health and other factors could be affecting your sex drive. Just don’t be afraid to talk to your husband about it, (If you haven’t). Hope everything works out!! Also, some people need actual human contact(not the computer) to be aroused , so don't be surprised to be all over your man when he gets back!!!

Answer 3

I don't know if its normal but I can relate to how you feel.My husband is a diabetic and we haven't had normal sexual relations for several years, he's to the point now that even though he has the desire his body doesn't respond at all ,he can't take viagra or cialis because he also has heart problems.I am 10 years younger than he and in good health, I have repressed my sexual desire there's nothing I can do since I just couldn't be unfaithful to him. I suspect that the stress of your husband being in the war zone will go away once he's home safe and you'll be able to function normally. God bless you and your husband.

Answer 4

It's totally okay. I live in a Navy town (bremerton, wa near seattle) and alot of women have told me that. Its much better than suffering or cheating! He is very lucky to have an honest loving woman, and it will be worth the wait when he comes back. just give him some time to deal with maybe any emotional issues he may have before trying to force him into anything! Don't be too disappointed if that's not the first mood he's in when he gets back. Keep up the good work.

Answer 5

Hun sex isnt the only thing keeping a relationship... Its normal !!! .... Think of it this way itll be so much more special when he gets back.

Answer 6

i'd say its the stress...

with the species we are forced to co exist/mate with... i suggest u invest in a compulsery item for all females constantly subjected to males..... a vibrator.lol

Answer 7

Masturbation is OK!! just pull out his pick ,, and go to town ,, TELL him,, I know that would make me feel great,, knowing my wife is missing my loving,, and fantasized about me~! also clears his mind that your not cheating!! Not that you would,, just a thought from another dude,,!

Answer 8

Everything will return to normal when normal returns.
