Is it normal for a 50 plus man to say that the sight of a naked woman doesn't turn him on? He is not gay.

not trying to be ms. smarty pants, but my first thought is, what does the woman look like? I mean, she's not 85 or anything right? under 300 lbs?

then my second thought is, does he need his eyesight checked? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Well, without any context behind that question it is impossible to answer....

how many naked women does one meet walking down the street? vey few since the STREAK song is no longer on the top forty list ...

Being turned on is an environment as well a just an image...

who is this naked woman..??

how is he connected to this naked woman....?

My husband is not one to view porn...and though i won't speak for Mr. ARK...I believe it "does nothing for him".... (I also believe it takes some immersement for it do something for someone...so he hasn't really invested any time in looking at porn....)

my husband would probably not be interested in some anonymous naked woman...though he is downstairs working today..and if any naked woman shows up I will send her down...and ask him if he is turned on...

woman?? women??
really need more information....
or I'm gonna get myself in trouble...again... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

lobelia...even if I made some light of your post...I really am interested in trying to see exactly what you are asking..

If you are saying that he is not attracted to you naked..and you are his spouse...well that's really a whole different issue....and one where lots of people have been or felt that way...(medical, psycho-social issues, detachment) etc.

If you are placing some judgement that he is not normal because he is not turned on by nameless naked women in general as if there is something wrong with him...that is a another issue also...
Though men are visual...not all enjoy "porn"...

help me out here <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Not any woman in particular. I just thought that most men get turned on when they see a naked woman. That was my question to my H. He said no, that's just a wive's-tale.

ark^^.

I'm not referring to porn. To make a long story short ( I didn't want to go here) I'm trying to liven up my marriage. Sexy underwear didn't work so I started taking showers with him. NOTHING!!!

Thanks Lobelia for the feedback..

If you don't want to get to in to it...I way understand....

Several things to do in general...

The brain the most important sexual organ we possess....
Good communication in a marriage is the greatest pre-cursor to good sex...

How comfortable are the two of you discussing what likes/dislikes there are....
that is a good step in avoiding things that really don't turn the other on...and remove the chance of one partner feeling rejected or withdrawn at "failed attempts"..

What about taking the his needs her needs questionairre together...meeting needs other than a targeted one (sexual fullfillment/SF)...can lead to better union in other needs...

Also you must not rule out and ignore possible medical reason...prostate issues, depresson, diabetes, medications,

lots of medical issues have sexual issues...
It can be a difficult dance for two people to get through to work on these things...

Take a look at the environment in which it is established to share eachothers thoughts and feelings...

Be wary of bringing up things in the feelings of rejection and hurt...they will cause you say things you don't mean...(we have all done that)...
