You would probably be better advised to discuss this with your doctor.

no way does it affect sex life! sometimes you feel like going solo even when you are married, and it is totally fine!

Me nor my husband never go more than 3days w/out having sex. So on a weekly average let's say 2 or 3, But on a good week honey we can go evey night and maybe twice a night on some night's. We have a good sex life and that's great, exp. when ur married

Mono is a virus that is passed on from person to person.  It should be taken seriously, as if left untreated can lead to heart problems later.  I had mono when i was 17, and you cannot get it again.  Your body develops the appropriate antibodies and becomes resistant.  dont eat off others plates or drink from their glass, and be sure to wash your hands often!!

I too have NO sex life due to a sick hubby right now and wish i was in your shoes on some days.  I guess - how much do you love hubby?  Enough to sacrifice your physical needs?  Could he ever recover and be the man you need?  If no to both, then leave hubby and get you some, girl!!!

You should consult and work closely with your doctor!  I think decisions like this should include your personal beliefs, your resources, and you and your partner weighing the risks and consequences.  One answer rarely fits all.

It's all in how you approach it.  If you do not actively exercise, perhaps you could start exercising for yourself and invite your spouse to join you.  Walking is a good start.  This approach would be the least likely to cause your spouse to feel like he/she is being attacked.  You could let your spouse know you are concerned not only for your own health, but for his/her health as well.  When we started our relationship, I came into it with a Bowflex.  I work out but my husband does not.  I take vitamin supplements and work hard to take good care of myself.  I let him know I care about his health, but I do not nag about it.  He started taking vitamins.  He noticed the difference in how he was feeling as a result.  Of late, he is beginning to show an interest in exercising.  I have never pushed it.  I love him even if he doesn't want to participate and he knows it.  I think it's important to let your spouse know you love him/her no matter what!  That alone may encourage him/her to take better care of him/herself.

only if you're made an agreement to be monogomous. otherwise yes, because you will only hurt yourself. just move on babe, you're much better off without them.

I wish everyone was as scared of Aids as you are.  You are wise for getting checked.  I annually get checked.  Never have unprotected sex.  Even if you are in a long-term monogamous relationship, get checked 1x year.  Although I hate to say this, you never know if your partner is sleeping around.  Protect yourself under any circumstance.\n\nWishing you all the best.

I've been married 6 years and we have sex daily.  It's different for everybody and it really depends on things like your individual sex drives, your energy level, the level of importance you put on sex, your sexual communication, etc.  If you're having an amount of sex that is satisfactory to both of you, then don't worry about what is "normal" and just go with what feels right for the two of you.  If, however, the frequency with which you have sex is not satisfactory to one or the other of you, talk about it.  Find out what the problem is.  Don't just assume that the sex goes away once you get married.  We made that mistake once and we won't make it again.  Best of luck to you and your spouse!

Whoever has the more mature immune system against it. If you JUST got it, you'll have lower antibody levels. If he JUST got it, he'll have fewer antibodies. Unfortunately if you've had it for awhile and contracted it from him, it's very possible you both have mature immune systems against it.\n\nWeren't you both screened for STD's pre-marriage? As far as I know, Nevada is the only state that does not require STD screening before a marriage certificate is issued.\n\n People with genital herpes are known to take this way out, rather than being honest with their partners.. Saying their partner gave it to them, not the other way around. As he's very understanding about it, this is exactly what I suspect. If it were ME, I'd be in a horrible rage to have contracted this from someone I loved and trusted.\n\n----\n\nEdit - What are the actual antibody levels for you and your husband. If you could post that up I could give you an estimate on who may have had it longer, but that is no gaurentee. What doctors say when they're discussing an "initial" outbreak, is it's the first outbreak you've gone to that doctor for and you think it's your first outbreak.\n\nJudging by his reaction, I honestly think he had it and knew, as of right now.

She may not have gotten mono from you. Mono maybe called "The kissing disease" but you can get it from other ways, such as drinking or eating after someone. \n\nIf you still feel bad, just try to make her feel comfortable. Take care of her until she gets better. She'll love it.

I wish my hubby had a higher libido...after having five kids and being married for several years our love life has gotten boring and his sex drive has gone down. We are always paying attention to the kids and dealing with other things to even begin thinking about intimacy. \n\nI would love it if I actually had to worry about tuning myself up to meet his needs! It would make me feel more desirable...

God, use this time to reconnect. The reconnection alone should do enough to spark your sex life. Vacation sex comes easily, oftentimes because since you are both removed from the everyday life that is usually the root of whatever problems you have with each other, you start to see eachother in the same light you met in, and it's a chance to fall in love again. Good for you!\nMy one word of advice for putting some spark into sex with a long term monogomous partner is to establish eye contact during orgasm. It's great! It feels like you are passing the orgasm into your eyes, like you are melting into the other person's soul. \nAlso, giving or getting oral with eye contact is interesting to play around with because some of us never get that intimate with our spouses; we just close our eyes and lay back. Try it, it will make you both vulnerable and closer at the same time.\nHave fun, guys!

many diseases are passed through blood, which can be found in saliva; herpes, AIDS, hepatitus...  if you are having sex of any kind- you should use a condom, and you should be tested regularly.  if you are in a monogomous relationship, and you have both been tested recently, then you can look into only using birth control.  but it's up to you to get tested, and decide if you trust the person you're with to be monogomous.
