Extending the analogy: getting good demands that you pay attention to what you’re doing OFF the courts. You monitor diet, cross-train, etc. What you do out of bed matters at least as much: Are you creating a relationship where your partner feels heard? Are you making them a priority? Do you keep yourself in top mental and physical health to the best of your abilities? In other words - make sure you’re the kind of person your partner WANTS to play with!

Secretly, everything is a fight for resources. Environment->man->woman->embryo/child. Well, our ancestors, women are more independent now. But some people can get by their whole lives together.

I know someone who's treated it like this for a long time, he and his polycule are some of the most open people about their needs I've ever known, and that goes far beyond their 'play'. Their levels of communication and respect for boundaries is phenomenal, if someone isn't in the mindset to handle something in the moment they understand how to handle that and return to the topic when they're better grounded for it. Nothing is completely off limits as long as it's approached respectfully and calmly. It's amazing being around people who truly are comfortable with sharing everything about themselves with their partners, it's a thing worth working toward for anyone in a relationship where that level of intimacy is avaliable.

The media and society doesn’t help because the message sent is men want it constantly and women want it never. It hurts both sides because then men feel broken and inadequate for not being ready at the drop of a hat, and women feel undesired because their man is supposed to be all over them and isn’t. They’re left to wonder what’s wrong with them and what’s wrong with their partner. My point is this issue affects men and women equally.

But when I'd encounter that 3 letters, my solo violent activity would come not to be stopped even if I'd grit my teeth. I hope these three letter would be changed into 'it' or 'debate' or better stuff.

What about if your partner never ever wants to play tennis again? Would you find a new tennis partner?

Explain to her that you WILL be playing tennis. You’d love her to be your partner but if she’s not going to play then you’ll find a new partner

It’s ironic, I told my wife you can’t get better with out practice. Then I told her, just because you’re good at wall ball, doesn’t mean you’re good at tennis. I can’t approach this like a hobby, as my wife doesn’t like/enjoy/or even want to be involved in my hobby’s. I guess I’m just screwed no matter what I do….

Approach it in a way she might find interesting. My wife is bored to tears listening to me talk about politics, so I have to reframe it in the context of something she does care about. It's you and her vs the problem, not you vs her.
