Uhhh, how about they both suck? The marriage has a pretty big flaw; he wants it and she doesn't want to give it. End it.

How long did it take for you to come up with such a great solution to a difficult problem? Maybe you should be a marriage counselor.![]()

What kind of sick person need sex more than twice a week? If you need it that much, you need help.

I see what you're saying. But here's how I perceive it: It's true that there's an underlying issue buried. The wife has an issue or something that makes it difficult for her to offer more to her hubby. However, I do not think that a false dichotomy or dilemma should be created here, for he so-called husband, on the other hand, has a problem of wanting too much and beyond what she can satisfy--even if she was fully functioning.
Basically, even if the wife offered more to him (for instance twice a day 5 days a week), I'm afraid he would not be satisfied. Here's why: There's just that addiction he seems to have. But there's also what appears to be this strange perception that he has his property and should be able to do it at any time he wishes.
If his problem were just desire to have sex all the time, it would be difficult but still be resolved, albeit divorce may be one of the options. We could also know why the wife is not feeling it. Chances are that she has too much load. It isn't hard to see this in this case with kids, house chores, and work. He doesn't seem to help her much, so she has so much to do on her own. Hence she's tired at the end of the day; or she's just lost the feeling/connection. And truly in that case either he works things out and helps relieve her of the stress, accepts the consequence (i.e., little sex), or he files for divorce.
The biggest problem here though is that he has more than an addiction, in my perspective. His thought seems driven by this notion that it's his right. It seems to me that what's going on here is the thrill from violating his wife more than it is from even the actual act. (Note that this isn't the first time he's done that.) This is my perception, especially when you consider other facts presented in the past in regards to the persons involved.

Yeah, you're right, Schizoid! I'm sure no one can beat your manhood. No one can have more desire than you to the point of being defined a sex addict. You're right. Only viagra ever does it or causes that. Equally I assume there's no such thing as an addiction to anything since there are limits.
Agree to it. Makes it sound so surgical and business like.Let's say a husband and wife agree to sex once or twice a week.

If you would refrain from calling me titles I did not request, I would appreciate it. Besides, if you have reason to question my gender, then perhaps endeavour to use a generic pronoun such as "you"?
The reason I mentioned your manhood was because you were making a comparison and seeming to infer that you knew what measure exactly made a man a sex addict. You then mentioned Viagra as the only means of achieving an addiction, which to you meant no limit. How you got the measure would only seem to be based on your experience as a man. I really wasn't trying to personalise it. I apologise if you perceived it as such and weren't pleased.
Anyway, so you mentioned the "average" guy. So you're very sure and convinced that this is your average guy you speak of here? Does he seem to fit that description? Does the average guy "pork" his significant other while she's asleep--and after she explicitly said "no" when she was awake? I'm afraid the problem is establishing your claim that he's the average guy. If he's the average guy, then there's no point of this thread. What he's doing wouldn't be questioned; and it wouldn't be something to feel bad about. However, in my opinion and with the facts stated by the original poster, he is not an average guy in every sense of that word. Perhaps he would be an average guy in the 1700s and 1800s. . . .

Yes what the husband did is wrong, that has already been established
No you cannot make the judgement that he is a 'sex addict' by this isolated situation."
How did you conclude that it was isolated? I could be wrong, but from what the original poster has said, it is not an isolated case.
Before I form an opinion about something or someone I usually endeavour to obtain facts. I recollect somethings Isla stated about her husband. And I do remember her making a statement in regards to he always wanting sex and other facts about their relationships. If I were just learning about this person for the first time, I would be of the opinion that he was wrong, but I would be asking questions about how often he did it. If the response was first time, then I would ask if he acted often possessive, abusive (verbally or physically). If the answer was no, then I would say in my opinion he should be warned that it was not acceptable, however no action should be taken against him. And she should try her best to offer him more so he wouldn't feel so deprived and commit an inappropriate act. Nevertheless, again, the problem is, this isn't the case from my recollection of the original poster's past marital issues. Usually I was reserved about someone sharing her marital issues in public, but this one definitely deserved to be shared because I do think it's time she really contemplates action for her own good and the kids'.
