Relationship counseling firm Relate has seen a 40 percent increase in "sex-shy male clients," with stress believed to be the leading cause. (Like everyone, it seems, Britons have been working longer hours in recent years.) But don't feel too bad—as one hapless gent puts it, "I'm baffled by my lack of interest, but not particularly unhappy." His wife apparently had no comment.[via GQ UK]PAUL L.

But now it seems that their husbands are going off sex, according to Relate, the UK’s largest body of relationship counsellors, which has reported a 40 per cent rise in sex-shy male clients. “Men used to come to us with impotence – now known as erectile insufficiency – but Viagra has sorted some of that problem,†Peter Bell, Relate’s head of practice, told the Observer. “What we have is a lot of men who say, as women did in the Fifties: ‘I can have sex, but I don’t want to. It’s not rewarding.’†Bell relates that unfortunate sufferers tend to be married and in their thirties, forties or fifties: “It counts as a psychosexual dysfunction, rather than just a relationship problem, because these men haven’t gone off their partner, but off sex altogether.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
