He's just not that into (sex with) you

Are more middle-aged men turned off by intimacy?

    YES

    Women do turn down sex all the time.

    I am a 26 year old single man who won't buy into the con that is a LTR.... I just want to hook up and focus on my career. I stand 6 ft tall, weigh 190lbs, work out 3-4 times a week and all I want to do is find these women who only want to have a good time... and I have to jump through all these f***in hoops. As a straight guy you pay for it, one way or another unlike our gay brothers and sisters.

    Now you're telling me after a lifetime as a young guy working; mostly successfully but resenting all the work; to get laid... I then have to look forward to a middle age w/ no libido.. fuck that.... bring on whatever it takes... this will not be my fate. And for all you old guys going gently into that sweet night - think about this... you are giving up something you have always had to work for... your woman is giving up something she might have used as a tool/weapon.

    These old guys need to go to the gym, go see a doctor, do something. You can't let these chicks win all the time.
