Speaker 1: Thank you, Junior. In for the suspended subject. Good things

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: do not come in small packages. Dear Stephen Shirley, I

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: am a mother of two beautiful kids and have been

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: married for eight years. When I met my husband, life

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: was great and out of nowhere. He swooped in and

14
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: stole my heart. We dated for a good while before

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: he proposed, and I withhel sex until I got the ring.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: It's like we knew we were soul mates when we met,

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: so he did not mind waiting until we were engaged

18
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: to have sex. He took on my two children as

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: his own, and we had planned on having one more

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: child together. That was before marriage. Now, eight years later,

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: things are different. The problem is, well, he's not well endowed,

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: and sex with him is awful. I knew this beforehand,

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: but married him anyway because I loved him and hoped

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: it would get better. I was so used to my

25
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 1: ex husband's great sex and thought that I could get

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: this guy to do some different things to please me.

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: But nothing ever worked. I have not had one pleasurable

28
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: encounter with this man since we started having sex, and

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: now I'm getting bored and I'm in need of more.

30
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to leave the marriage because of the

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: family life we have created for my children. My husband

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: is a hard worker, a Christian man, and a great provider,

33
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: but we have not had sex in a very long time.

34
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: We don't hug and kiss anymore either. I'm aware that

35
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: sex is a very important part of marriage, and usually

36
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: men cheat when they aren't being satisfied at home. But

37
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure my husband isn't cheating. I never faked

38
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: it during or after sex, but I also never told

39
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: him how horrible it was. I'm sure it hurts him

40
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: as a man to know that he can't please his wife.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a cheater, but I long

42
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: for some intense, great sex regularly. What's a girl to do?

43
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: Can you offer any advice on this situation. Well, first

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: of all, I have to tell you that you have

45
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: every right within your marriage to want intense, great sex.

46
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's part of the reason a lot of

47
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: people get married. But in your particular situation, it doesn't

48
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: look like that's going to happen. Because you said you've

49
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: talked to him, I mean I would suggest that you

50
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: have a serious conversation with your husband. I mean, after

51
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: eight years of marriage, you owe him and you owe

52
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: yourself that you do have a right to be satisfied sexually.

53
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: The thing is, you knew this before you married him,

54
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: and you married him anyway because you thought, as you say,

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: things would get better. We've talked about this. I can't

56
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: tell you how many times we've talked about this on

57
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: this show, about how women think that we can always

58
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: change a man. We always think that you knew this

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: going in. Well, we can't change them, I mean, and

60
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: how well you know it now? I mean the time

61
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: for you to have dealt with this matter, and it's

62
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: very serious. I don't mean to make light of it.

63
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: This is a very serious issue right here, but it

64
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: was you should have dealt with this before before you

65
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: got married and after you got the ring, because you

66
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: said you held out sex at least until you got

67
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: the ring. So I say, the next time you guys

68
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: are getting intimate, you have to lay down the law.

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: You have to teach him. You've got to show him

70
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: and guide him into doing what you like. You all

71
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: have to have a serious conversation about this, even though

72
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: you said that you've done that in the past and

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: it didn't work. So I mean, you got to try

74
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: it again. You have to, I mean, because I can't

75
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: see the only alternative is to cheat or divorce him.

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: You don't want to do either of those things, and

77
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: you don't want him to do it either. Steve, Well, well,

78
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: well we got a problem, Hill. Good things do not

79
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: come in small packages. No, it don't. It really don't.

80
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: Your problem is you've been married for eight years, you

81
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: got two beautiful kids, your husband that you're mad he

82
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: swooped and stole your heart. Dated for a good little

83
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: while before he proposed. You didn't wait it or you

84
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: had with hell sex till you got to read. You know,

85
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: because you knew you were soul mates. He mind waiting

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: until he's engaged to have sex. He didn't mind waiting

87
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: until we were engaged to have sex. Hell, because he knew.

88
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: He knew that when y'all did have it, he wasn't

89
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna be worse for them one more time. He knew

90
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: the reason he didn't mind what to have sex it's called.

91
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: He knew it wasn't gonna be worth for damn when

92
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: you did. You ain't the first person he didn't disappoint it.

93
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: Oh No, that's why everything else is in order. He

94
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 1: ain't welling, died, and sex with him is awful, not bad.

95
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: A w I you l if you break them two

Speaker 1: two emissions in that all as funny as hell. But

99
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: I can't say now. I knew this before him. I

100
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: knew this beforehand, But I married him anyway because I

101
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: loved him and I hoped it will get better? How

Speaker 1: not coming small packs ain't much of a recap. He

109
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: ain't packing. She heard about its awful, so she didn't

110
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: have sex until she got the ring. He didn't mind

111
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: waiting until we was engaged, any man, don't mind waiting. Know,

112
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: it ain't worth a damn what. I might as well

113
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: just ride this out. You don't want to have sex, okay, cool,

114
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: they just keep talking to you. Let me take care

115
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: of your kids, let me buy them something, Let me

116
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: care you shoppy so I could get you to fall

117
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: in little with me, because after we do it, it's sober.

118
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: But he's a good man, though, Steve, don't aboudy give

119
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: a damn about that. Yeah, it's nice and he's a

120
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: good man. It's real great. But she wants her she

121
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: wants she wants her head to be on her eyes

122
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: and the back of her head. Yeah, she needs some

123
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: things going on. Well, the problem is he ain't willing

124
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: dial sex is awful. I knew it before I married him, anyway,

125
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: because I loved him, I hoped it will get better.

126
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I was so used to my ex hood and great sex.

127
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: Now he didn't lad he didn't left her lasted and

128
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: pressure great sex from your ex husband. I thought I

129
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: could get this guy to do some different things to

130
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: please me. Oh he won't to, but he just ain't

131
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: got what it take. Now here's what I suggest. You

132
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: gotta get some equipment in that bad room and he

133
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: got to be comfortably using. We got to get some equipment.

134
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: And based on the way this letter going in, I'm

135
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: gonna give you a suggestion or some equipment you can use.

136
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: And this ain't stuff you buy down at the dult

137
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: book store. You need a bud salt. You need to

138
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: come inside with someone with a lot of noise. You

139
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: need that type of thing going will. You need to

140
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: see if you can go down home deeper and rinch

141
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: yourself a Jack Himmel. You need to find out how

142
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: much your hedgehog costs or what hedgehog? Yeah, and you

143
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: definitely needs to buy or weed either or anything with

144
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: either on it. But you got to do something. You've

145
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: got to do something. I don't want to lead a

146
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: match cause him. We've cause of the family life you

147
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: created from my children. He's a hard worker, he's a

148
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: Christian man and great provider, great provider or what because

149
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: the one thing you want. He damn sure ain't got that.

150
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: But he's a great pride we have had. We ain't

151
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: had sex in a long time. We don't hug all

152
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: kids because he don't want them to get stall. So

153
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: you get to hug any kiss, and you probably gonna
