Sex(less) Appeal

Her name is Nimatsu Mayumi. She is 46 and produces a popular e-mail magazine for those seeking relief from sexless marriages. She married a doctor and had a son; but her husband was constantly busy and almost never came home.image

Her story is a familar-sounding one to many middle-aged Japanese women, whose husbands spend most of every working day away from home, then, when they do come home, are too tired to do much but sleep. It was fifteen years ago that she became part of a group of women planning an event at a childcare center. That group expanded into a nationwide network with over a thousand members. In 1995, she founded her own marketing company, whose annual sales now exceed 100 million yen. Then, returning to where she started, wanting to do something to address the frustrations of housewives like herself, she started a e-mail magazine, offering advice on their sex lives to people with similar issues. There are plenty of issues to be addressed in the more than 100 e-mails she receives each month. There are women who say that it’s been years since they had sex with their husbands, and men who say that they can’t get it up with their wives. There’s enough material here to fill the book she is writing to urge young women not to settle for sexless marriages. And Nimatsu herself? Her first husband is history. Four years ago she married a man seven years younger than herself. (Source: Asahi Shimbun morning edition, 9/1/06, p. 14)

20 People Have Commented:

  1. I have read your story with interest.  I too am in a situation I never thought I would find myself in. We never consummated our marriage two years ago (does that mean we aren’t married??)and have never had sex since.  I was 38 when I met my future husband. I gave up a good job and moved countries in order to be with him. All was great for the first three years although thinking back he did have ED issues but I didn’t really think it was all that serious at the time (as you do!). We wanted a baby and visited the doctor and were told when to make love on what days etc that was when the rot set in.

  16. Sexual arousal may not lead to an actual sexual activity, beyond a mental arousal and the physiological changes that accompany it. Given sufficient stimulation, sexual arousal in humans will typically end in an orgasm; but arousal may be pursued for its own sake, even in the absence of an orgasm.

  17. The erotic stimuli may originate from a source unrelated to the subject of subsequent sexual interest. For example, many people may find nudity, erotica or pornography sexually arousing, which may generate a general sexual interest which is satisfied with sexual activity. When sexual arousal is achieved by or dependent on the use of objects, it is referred to as sexual fetishism, or in some instances, a paraphilia. A person can take an active part in a sexual activity without sexual arousal.

  18. Poses that work the core, or backbends, or any other category are easy to sequence. Incorporate several preparatory poses, and then several asanas, which meet those criteria.
