[@GameChanger597]

The root cause of PCOS is insulin resistance / high blood sugar. Excessive sugar causes growth hormone which causes the cyst. Get on a very healthy ketogenic diet with lots of vegetables and within a very short time, your PCOS can be healed and things will begin to balance out. I learned this from a doctor who does medical research on the root cause of illnesses rather than prescribing drugs for every patient with a symptom.

My wife has PCOS (I understand about the testosterone aspect). Unfortunately, I guess my wife isn’t feeling that. I wish she felt the level of desire described on this video for me. It makes me sad that she does not.

[@mochatheaustralianlabradoo7316]

This is true but will give more information. PCOS is caused by excess adipose (fat) tissue. Most people don't know this but fat tissue converts testosterone to estrogen which suppresses a hormone called FSH which converts testosterone to estrogen. Therefore the body is creating too much testosterone without converting it to estrogen. Testosterone is a sex driving hormone which is the symptoms she is having. It is associated with insulin resistance due to high BMI (>30) 1. First line treatment is lifestyle modification and losing weight. Almost all patients fail this 2. Metformin - increases insulin sensitivity. It is known to help reduce weight 3. Oral contraceptives (OCP) - suppresses both testosterone and estrogen producing hormone called GnRH - The issue with PCOS is that it causes infertility due to the "polycystic" formation of PCOS. There is tons of cysts in the uterus and thus woman have trouble getting pregnant.

[@AmericanWithTheTruth]

@@mochatheaustralianlabradoo7316 100% incorrect! My wife has PCOS and has a high level of testosterone, and is very naturally thin.

Why don't people talk about this stuff before marriage? I am religious, walking the walk and also single. I do what to get married, so I'm dating, but not sexual active. I do have frank discussions with the guys I date to see if we're a match in that way. I had one guy who goes to my church who I'd had a crush on for years. We went out a few times and had talked about sex. He was into the same things as the lady caller. I am not. I told him that we could be friends but not compatible that way, and if we lived in the same state as a good friend of mine, I'd have set him up with her, because she is into it... nothing wrong with asking questions. It's better than a lifetime of frustration. Just me mindful when you ask.

[@zeal4god402]

[@kassidyneufeld6052]

A good thing to remember tho, is that preferences change and married sex is for growing together. If you're looking for someone who has all the same sexual preferences as you, you could be looking for forever. In my opinion, if it doesn't go against the word of God then give it a try. If it makes you a little uncomfortable at first, visit it at a different time. Understanding sex before you are married and have never done it is almost impossible. It's an intimately beautiful thing made by God, for a man and wife. It's not just for procreation. Just my thought :) good for you for waiting for marriage, my husband and I did as well and it is so beyond worth it. But we grew together, and things I thought in my dating life that I thought I wouldn't be in to, are things he is into. And when I see how happy it makes him when I do certain things, its a great feeling! Or things I assumed he would be into, but he isn't, it's just all a learning curve that should only be pursued in marriage. Hope that makes sense

BDSM is about more than hitting, choking, bruising and causing pain. It's first and foremost about power play, which doesn't inherently mean causing pain. My husband and I for example, spar often. He's 6' 220lbs and I'm 5'7" 155lbs, I know he's physically stronger than me and that he could easily hurt me if he wanted to, but I know he never would maliciously, and so we'll spar to gauge both our strengths and as a way to see where each other are at physically/asses each other's form. There *have* been times that I've gotten hurt or bruised, but I also get bruised from him tickling me because I'm anemic, but that doesn't mean I want him to stop tickling me just because it causes bruises. It's about mutual consent, communication and trust.

[@leahdynes_lighterdays]

@@nt3833 Not necessarily. There are many ways to practice BDSM that aren't *raising the bar* as there are many ways to include the same preferences in different scenarios without those scenarios being inherently more intense. It's also about creating an environment, as Dr. John said, rather than limiting yourself to specific things to fill that need.

People aren't static. People CHANGE. That includes your appetites, be it sexual or otherwise. You can keep searching for that perfect compatibility but, News Flash: It's never going to happen. You can get married 50 times, you will never find it. You can have something close to perfect compatibility but it's infantile to think you can have a tailor-made spouse or partner. People are complicated. The secret thing is the hardest thing, which is commitment, even through the changes. And that takes character. The good news is that you can change for the better too, not just for the worse. Just talking in general, not you personally. Trust me, you can have a high sex-drive now, but that can peter off or disappear. Illness, hormones, age, an accident that changes everything, etc. Everything winds down. That's a law of nature.

I can sympathize with this caller so much. She would be a perfect partner for me. Unfortunately my wife after having 3 kids is on the precipice of being asexual. I want BDSM as well but she cannot stand it. She will tolerate vanilla but it is only a 'duty' to her and she is not into it at all. I've tried to spice things up in other ways (non-kink) and she had no interest at all. Having sex with her makes me feel even more disconnected due to her response to it and i have stopped initiating. We have had a sexless marriage for 8 years now. Its my fault for not bringing this up when dating but I was ashamed of it and my wife is the only long term relationship ive ever had. It sucks... it really sucks.

STOP. CALLING. HIM. VANILLA. It's disrespectful and rude. I don't know if you realize this but this is *damaging.* Cut that crap out. Your husband has different things that he likes sexually and that's OK. You calling him vanilla is invalidating _him_ and what _he likes._ AND, who he _is._ I'm surprised John didn't call you out on this. (I'm at 12:33, maybe he gets to it) How would you feel if your husband came on this show and called you slutty or weird for having the preferences YOU have? Intimacy is about give and take, it's about meeting each other, journeying into and exploring the things each of you likes! This is triggering for me because my ex was into similar things. He called me boring and vanilla and refused to have sex in any way except his way. I am a romantic, I like things slow but also fast and passionate, but humiliating him and being rough with him didn't come naturally to me and made me uncomfortable but it was made worse by him not including my bedroom likes. I would have enthusiastically joined him in his likes if he hadn't excluded my sexual wants and needs completely. Are you giving him what he needs, too? Or is this the only way you can receive pleasure?

She is not being disrespectful, that is literally the word used to identify someone who is only into traditional sex with only one partner, for example if you are hanging out at an orgy or a swinger party if you don't want to participate or get hit on you would have to communicate you are "vanilla" and everyone will leave you alone and respect your privacy.

@@daegrun Your comment is hard to understand. Speaking from experience... I used the term vanilla with my husband a couple times and that KILLED the vibe. I'm speaking from experience hoping other women know joking around about it will just kill intimate vibes. Your third sentence is just wonky, what if it was "Probably a good thing *he* likely already communicated with his wife about bdsm and the terms used like vanilla". To my knowledge, women can feel bad about their performance or desirability as well, and be uncomfortable with certain "kinks" When you learn where each other stands you have to work on compromise, not just constantly teasing and putting down thinking that will get you your way. Some people will never be comfortable with BDSM, but they might be willing to be a bit rougher. But telling them they're boring or vanilla will do nothing but decrease intimacy altogether.

She was repeatedly using the word "need" and it didn't bother you, but when a man talks about his sexual needs, you always tell him to stop and to switch it to "want" and to go look for a purpose to satisfy that need elsewhere to not put pressure on the wife ... yet you never mentioned the pressure put on the husband here. It's funny that you asked her if she was thinking about leaving her husband, a question that you would never ask a husband who calls for the same problem. It's like saying, if you are a woman and having problems in your marriage do whatever you want, but if you are a man, just man up, suck it up, stop whining about your needs, and do everything you can to accommodate to your wife. Such sad double standards...

[@BlahBlahPoop617]

He is clearly gynocentric. Perhaps he doesn’t know it or he does and is just pandering to his female portion of the audience. But I have noticed this too. The man is a creep or an awful person for having “needs”, it never the woman. Kind of disgusting the double standard. Many trad cons do this too.

[@BlueFish-kq9fh]

@@BlahBlahPoop617 This is all par for the course. Pretty much all counselors, advisors etc. know which side their bread is buttered. In general, there is a *lot* of praise and repeat business to be had (for these counselors) from ego-stroking the woman and telling her she's "wonderful, awesome, stunning and brave" etc., and telling the man to "stop whining, man up and give your woman what she wants/needs/demands." Women always respond well to flattery and ego-stroking. Men don't respond well to bashing, but the women will observe the counselor bashing men and praising women, and conclude that "he's brilliant, he really gets it."

I'll say this, calling in to a show with thousands of listeners to say her husband is vanilla and same old same old probably does not help her case.

Ten years of issues wrapped in a 15 minute phone call, though, so who am I to talk.

[@kfdake]

i think she was trying to be careful with her words a little at first, but he encouraged her to not hold back..

I’m sure her husband knows and understands because vanilla is an actual term for sexual style in that community The exception is just you and others with a tiny…ego that feel the need to divert it to her word choice rather than still frankly her issues. But the word choice wasn’t one of the problems. Side note: “vanilla” doesn’t make you less of a man. So don’t worry, Colin. You’re fine. No need to be butthurt.

[@Confessions089]

He did choose her though and with this being said then he should learn his spouse. Just as she should learn her spouse. He needs to understand that it's a language, community and lifestyle.

Why haven’t they discussed the role of her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) that has resulted in hyperandrogenism, a medical condition caused by high levels of androgens (in her case, testosterone)? PCOS is a metabolic, endocrine and reproductive disorder not universally defined, but the most common symptoms are irregular or irregular absent periods, ovarian cysts, enlarged ovaries, excess androgen, weight gain and hirsutism. Associated conditions include type 2 diabetes, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, mood disorders, and endometrial cancer. Absolutely no insult intended…….Perhaps he has a difficult time being dominated by a (possibly) hairy, overweight woman? She mentioned medication(s); however, I wasn’t sure if she meant for him or for her. Symptoms of hyperandrogenism in women can be throttled back a bit with birth control pills or antiandrogens, such as cyproterone acetate or spironolactone. He may have entered the relationship, and then marriage, thinking that as she aged and took medication, her sex drive would mellow out a bit. I hope they can figure this out without either one of them sacrificing this crucial element of their relationship.

You cannot learn to be a dom (dominant partner in a BDSM relationship). You either have it in your personality or you don`t. You have to learn how to do it right when you have the desire to be like that, but you can`t learn to be like that. She needs to find a professional dom just for that stuff, have vanilla sex with her husband and finally be happy with the relationship and her sexlife. I think it`s cruel to try to push somebody to try this when somebody is not into it.

[@stealthswim223]

My wife and I had sex all the time when she wanted to get pregnant. Now that we have kids and she is working full time and I’m school for her doctorate I’m lucky to get it 2 times a month. She wants me to be more physical in terms of snuggling and gentle kissing, but she constantly turns me down when I try to have sex too. Then she complains that I don’t pursue her for sex. I just am tired of being told no. Or being teased and told “later tonight” to then she says she is too tired and goes to sleep. That’s what I struggle with.

[@NiRaSis]

Sounds like your wife truly is tired, thats a lot to juggle. She is prolly good with once a week being tired most of the time. Pursue at least once a week, try to do it during the time of day when shell have the most energy which is prolly in the morning, on her days off, etc. and dont take it personal when she says shes tired because she is. Also, if you guys can get away for a weekend or so here and there, take her away from all her responsibilities, it will help clear her mind and make intimacy more doable. Its hard to be in the mood when your mind is racing with all the things you need to get done. And snuggle, sometimes it will lead to intimacy and sometimes not because she is so tired but the more you snuggle, the more likely it will happen.

[@chriscolbert2188]

@Nicole I agree but she needs to stop with the "later we will" then falling asleep BS. Maybe a few times it's funny but consistently? I'd stop trying too. If every advancement someone makes is turned down that's not healthy for a relationship.

[@V.E.R.O.]

Does she need to work full time to help support the household? Maybe she can cut back on the hours while she finishes the doctorate so she won't be as tired.

[@xfaroutzx3637]

My advise is start acting like you don't want sex anymore. When she complains that you don't pursue her, tell her you don't feel like having sex and offer no more explanation. When she wants snuggles and gentle kissing, give it to her briefly and then go do something else. During your interactions start showing a little less interest at times. Trust me, once she feels that you've lost interest in sex and there is no pressure from you, she's going to start wanting you and she will start initiating. Women's attractions are triggered when a man shows restraint. It shows that you're in control of your urges and aren't going to waste your time begging for it.

[@BlueFish-kq9fh]

@stealthswim223 : This has to be said bluntly -- your wife is a sadistic, selfish piece of cr@p. It's one thing to not want to give you sex because she's tired, but it's another thing altogether for her to taunt you, c0ck-tease you, grind on you, do all the things that get a man excited and ready, and then say "ha ha, just kidding. I'm going to bed now, you're not getting any from me. You've got two hands, use them!" This is f*cking despicable (and unfortunately, lots of women do it).

[@darrenbuttery3527]

If I was her husband, I'd run. She sounds to me like someone who gets bored quickly in the bedroom. She'll find "A" satisfying for awhile and then it becomes vanilla and needs to raise the bar to "B". Then that becomes boring and vanilla and she'll need "C". I just don't see this ending well.

[@marysaltlife1427]

Hmm, vanilla is an insult, no matter who uses the term. Just because someone doesn't have increased desire when someone tries to control them or "tease" them with sadistic or masochistic actions doesn't mean they are plain. It means they aren't turned on by anything other than actions that show love and tenderness. They don't seem compatible, in either of their extremes.

[@johnbcampise]

BDSM is often driven by unhealthy dopamine addiction. I’d ask her what other addictions she has (chemicals, food, exercise, Netflix, porn, smartphone games, anger, etc)? Also, PCOS is often made worse by sugar/carb intolerance and stress. She has to cut out refined carbs and sugars for three months and do whatever it takes to lower her adrenal stress hormones output (stop the HIIT, caffeine, learn to meditate daily, etc.). And she has to start healing her childhood traumas (she was likely either adopted or had other major trauma as child). These traumas cause high background adrenal hormone (including dhea, the main culprit in pcos) levels until they are addressed fully and healed. it’s also a fallacy to think that these are my “needs” as if this is a normal flavor of sexual preference. It’s not. It’s a medical condition that can be treated. Likely husband has traumas too that if healed would free him up to be open to novel environments. Only feeling safe doing something in one routine environment is a sign of reptile brain survival program (I survived doing x so I better continue doing x, if I do y I could die). Most couples tend to have the same amount of childhood traumas as each other for some reason, though different specifics. Working on childhoods traumas instead of doing “sex counseling” (along with diet and lifestyle changes) will more successfully bring them onto the same sex page. They likely need to specifically see a therapist who specializes in “trauma” if I’m right about either adoption or other childhood neglect/traumas. I’ve seen it where the person says, “I didn’t have any childhood traumas,” only to find out later that they had a narcissistic parent who would routinely gaslight them as a child into believing they couldn’t do anything right without help from the parent. Good luck!

It seems that people will always have wants and desires and if one of the people feels it's not being met, they're not heard or they are abandoned in their desires, it's a very tough conversation to have. My ex-husband wanted "vanilla" sex about 90% and it definitely was not the cause of our divorce by any means, cuz he's a sweet, loving man in so many ways but we had other issues at the end of the day. With that being said I had a higher drive but he'd try to please me with some erotic behavior (some toys etc) and I'd try to dial back my desire and very "kinky" tendencies but I didn't feel upset, broken or confrontational with him that I had to have certain things in order to "survive" the marriage; however when I asked him for something I wanted it did hurt that he refused but he said he was uncomfortable and it felt "silly" to him (naughty talk) so that felt like not being heard but a deal breaker? Nope. Sexual compatibility is essential but both partners have to decide what they're willing to live with and what compromises need to be made if any. Tough balancing act.

This woman is confiding in her friends about how she can get her husband to be more sexually open with her and she absolutely adores her husband. So once again, not the same thing. He has said multiple times you should have people in your life that you can confide in, like your 5 people.
