8 d. ago My wife has had more than 50 sexual partners – so why won’t she sleep with me?

After 12 years together, she told me how many people she had slept with before we met. It has made it harder for me to accept how rarely we have sexI’ve been with my wife for 12 years. She recently admitted she has had many more sexual partners than me, more than 50 for sure, but it could be 100. She has only had a couple of long-term relationships. I didn’t think the number bothered me: I didn’t know her then, it was before we got together and we can’t change the past. However, we hardly ever have sex (only once every three to four months) and her sex drive dropped off a cliff after our first child was born almost 10 years ago.

3 w. ago ‘It’s not just pleasure – it’s resistance’: portraits of people with their sex toys around the world

Gulim in Kazakhstan keeps her very first one as a souvenir while Coco in Thailand breaks the law by having them, and Serena in Italy says they’re essential. But there’s still a stigma when it comes to talking about sex toys. That’s why Gabriele Galimberti’s images are so powerful, writes author and academic Roxane Gay (Warning: explicit content)Most of us are taught to keep our sexual lives private. We’re taught to hide our desires, and all too often, to be ashamed of them. Cultural instruction about sex tends to be very prescriptive. Sex happens in our bedrooms, behind closed doors, between a man and a woman. Sex is for procreation rather than pleasure. Sex is for marriage. Sex should only happen when you fall in love. If you’re a woman, you should only have one sexual partner for the whole of your life. If you’re a man, the sky’s the limit.Certainly, some of these mores have shifted over time, relaxed a bit.
