10
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Good things do not come in small packages. Dear Stephen Shirley,

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: I am a mother of two beautiful kids and have

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: been married for eight years. When I met my husband,

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: life was great and out of nowhere. He swooped in

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: and stole my heart. We dated for a good while

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: before he proposed, and I withhell sex until I got

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: the ring. It's like we knew we were soul mates

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: when we met, so he did not mind waiting until

18
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: we were engaged to have sex. He took on my

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: two children as his own, and we had planned on

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: having one more child together. That was before marriage. Now

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: eight years later, things are different. The problem is, well,

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: he's not well endowed, and sex with him is awful.

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: I knew this beforehand, but married him anyway because I

24
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: loved him and hoped it would get better. I was

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: so used to my ex husband's great sex and thought

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: that I could get this guy to do some different

27
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: things to please me. But nothing ever worked. I have

28
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: not had one pleasurable encounter with this man since we

29
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: started having sex, and now I'm getting bored and I'm

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: in need of more. I don't want to leave the

31
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: marriage because of the family life we have created for

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: my children. My husband is a hard worker, a Christian man,

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: and a great provider, but we have not had sex

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: in a very long time. We don't hug and kiss

35
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: anymore either. I'm aware that sex is a very important

36
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: part of marriage, and usually men cheat when they aren't

37
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: being satisfied at home. But I'm pretty sure my husband

38
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: isn't cheating. I never faked it during or after sex,

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: but I also never told him how horrible it was.

40
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it hurts him as a man to know

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: that he can't please his wife. I don't want to

42
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: be a cheater, but I long for some intense, great

43
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: sex regularly. What's a girl to do. Can you offer

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: any advice on this situation. Well, first of all, I

45
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: have to tell you that you have every right within

46
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: your marriage to want intense, great sex. I mean, that's

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: part of the reason a lot of people get married.

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: But in your particular situation, it doesn't look like that's

49
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: going to happen. Because you said you've talked to him,

50
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I would suggest that you have a serious

51
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: conversation with your Husbandman, after eight years of marriage, you

52
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: owe him and you owe yourself that you do have

53
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: a right to be satisfied sexually. The thing is, you

54
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: knew this before you married him, and you married him

55
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: anyway because you thought, as you say, things would get better.

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: We've talked about this. I can't tell you how many

57
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: times we've talked about this on this show, about how

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: women think that we can always change a man. We

59
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: always think that you knew this going in. Well, we

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: can't change them, I mean, and how well you know

61
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: it now? I mean the time for you to have

62
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: dealt with this matter, and it's very serious. I don't

63
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: mean to make light of it. This is a very

64
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: serious issue right here, but it was you should have

65
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: dealt with this before before you got married and after

66
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: you got the ring, because you said you held out

67
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: sex at least until you got the ring. So I say,

68
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: the next time you guys are getting intimate, you have

69
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: to lay down the law. You have to teach him.

70
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: You've got to show him and guide him into doing

71
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: what you like. You all have to have a serious

72
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: conversation about this, even though you said that you've done

73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: that in the past and it didn't work. So I mean,

74
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: you got to try it again. You have to, I mean,

75
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: because I can't see the only alternative is to cheat

76
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: or divorce him. You don't want to do either of

77
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: those things, and you don't want him to do it either. Steve, Well, well,

78
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: well we got a problem, Hill. Good things do not

79
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: come in small packages. No, it don't. You really don't.

80
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: Your problem is you've been married for eight years, you

81
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: got two beautiful kids. Your husband that you met, he

82
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: swooped and stole your heart. Dated for a good little

83
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: while before he proposed. You didn't wait it or you

84
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 1: had with hell sex till you got to read. You know,

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: because you knew you were soul mates. He mind waiting

86
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: until he's engaged to have sex. He didn't mind waiting

Speaker 1: until we were engaged to have set hell because he knew.

89
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: gonna be worse for them one more time. He knew

90
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: the reason he didn't mind what to have sex it's called.

91
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: He knew it wasn't gonna be worth for damn when

92
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: you did. You ain't the first person he didn't disappoint it.

93
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: Oh no, that's why everything else is in order. He

Speaker 1: I married him anyway because I loved him. I hoped

122
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: it will get better. I was so used to my

123
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,800

00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: he just ain't got what it takes. Now here's what

128
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: I suggest you gotta get some equipment in that bad room,

129
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: and he got to be comfortable using it. We got

130
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: to get some equipment. And based on where this letter

131
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: going in, I'm gonna give you a suggestion or some

132
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: equipment you can use. And this ain't stuff you buy

133
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: down at the adult bookstore. You need a bull saw.

134
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: What you need to come inside with someone with a

135
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of noise. You need that type of thing going

136
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: on while you need to see if you can go

137
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: down home deeper and wrench yourself a Jack Himmel. You

138
00:08:54,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: need to find out how much your hedgehoule costs? What hedgehoule? Yeah,

139
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: and you definitely needs to buy or weed either or

140
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: anything with either on it. But you got to do something.

141
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: You've got to do something. I don't want to lead

142
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: the manage cause him. We've cause of the family life

143
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: you created from my children. He's a hard worker, he's

144
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: a Christian man and great provider, great provider. What because

145
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: the one thing you want, he damn she ain't got that.

146
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: But he's a great befid we have had we ain't

147
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: had sex in a long time. We don't hug all

148
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: kids because he don't want them to get started. So

149
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: you get to hug any kiss, and you probably gonna

150
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: want some more. So he ain't trying to even touch

151
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: you because he's sicker to look on your face. And

152
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: he looked down at you, and you just got that

153
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: that that you know, how you cock your smile to

154
