...See more Hey everyone, have a bit of a question that I'm hoping someone (preferably a female/married spouse) can lend some advice on. My wife (35F) and myself (35M) have been together for 15 years, married for 13 years. Sex has always been one of those things where I want it a little more than she does, everything is good once she is in the mood, she would just take a little more time to get there. Pre-kids she blamed it on work and school and birth control taking away her sex drive (which she was over worked, worried about pay, worried about getting her career going, and was on a few different birth controls trying to find one that work with her), sex started at once a week, then once a month, then maybe once every other month. After things started lining up life wise, spending months trying multiple times a day for each of our kids, and the last 7 years after my youngest was born it's gotten better and we are probably average about 2-3 times a month now. This past year, with us both working from home, it has honestly helped our sex life significantly more as we can have our time alone while kids are at school instead of at the end of a busy day/night when we are both exhausted. Today though, I had a moment that kind of took me back. A little back story, after we had found out she was pregnant with our youngest, I found out maybe a month or so after that she was sexting a guy in another state. They were never together, would send photos and chat back and forth but while this was going on, our sex life perked up a bit and she was a bit more adventurous hearing what this other guy would do or what him and his wife were doing. It almost broke us apart, but we managed to work though it. Today, we had a little bit of a break from work and went upstairs to have some fun while the kids are at school. Everything was going well, until she got on all fours. This position has been one that she almost always has refused to do (no, not referring to anal, that's a whole other topic, this is just the position). She said it always hurt too much, stretched too much and hurt her back too much, was uncomfortable and just did not feel good to her in any way. 15 years together, I can count on one hand how many times we've tried this position and 2 of those times have been in the last 3 weeks. To my surprise, when I asked if she was okay with it (I knew she didn't enjoy it and I don't want her to not enjoy something because she thinks I will), she said she actually likes this position the best of everything... 15 years of hating it, and suddenly loves it after trying it again the last couple times. I don't know what to think about this. The rational side of me looks at everything else leading up to the last couple times. Both of us being overweight, trying to get ourselves into a better place physically, working out daily, how I am always positive towards her goals, always commenting on how good she has always looked to me, how I almost always grab her hips and pull her close randomly, how I support the things she wants to do and maybe that combination of everything has made her less self conscious about her figure and allowing her to open up more and wanting to do more. She has commented a few times over the last few months that the only person she wants to impress is me, and my response is that she always has. The irrational thoughts though, the ones that are making me doubt things are the ones that brought back the memories from years ago where the sudden change in behavior wasn't from me but another person. I don't have a reason to think she'd be doing anything again, but I also didn't have a reason to think she would when it happened. So, from a woman's perspective, should I be worried? Should I be concerned? I don't want to bring up anything we've moved well past and I definitely don't want to bring her down if this is a confidence booster. Is it normal for a married woman who hasn't had much experience with 1 position to randomly say she enjoys it the most after all these years? I've heard that some woman hit their sexual prime towards their mid 30s to 40s, don't know if that's even remotely true....I don't know what to think or ask or say or if I even should. It's just so odd to me that after so many years of it being a no, it's all of a sudden her new favorite.
