I think this attitude about sex is quite common after having had children, it’s just not that important. There’s many other ways to express your love to your mate other than humping. But more than this, I think people slow down once they’re in their 30s to 50s and become ajumma/ajumeoni (middle-aged women). And of course, one doesn’t need a partner to have sex… if you have 40,000 won.

“I can believe this to a certain extent. My experience with Korean women and Asian women in general is that they have been culturally repressed.”

How else would you explain the popularity of Yonsama (Bae Yong-jun) and other efeminant males among a small number of middle aged Japanese women? It’s oppression. Some middle-aged Asian women are turning to fantasies of asexual teddy bears who won’t threaten them with mascule traits.

I can believe this to a certain extent. My experience with Korean women and Asian women in general is that they have been culturally repressed. When I give them the inspiration and freedom to live their sexuality, they transform into beautiful sexual flowers.

This also has happened once in my case. A beautiful thing it was, doctor.

This was the best blog post ever! I showed this to my wife. A risky move, but at this point there was not much to lose.

Well she denied it, but her method of denial was quite pleasurable. I’m hoping this denial lasts for a long time to come

Bck in the day, I used to practice Korean by poking around a Korean women’s lifestyle site… especially the sex advice section. I was often amazed by some of the questions women would ask… questions that demonstrated an enormous void of knowledge regarding sex and the human body. The younger generation is different (you should hear my girlfriend’s stories about the things her 17 year-old niece knows), but I’m betting a lot of women from their late 30’s on went into marriage life with no sexual experience and very little knowledge of the joys of sex. These are the ones who don’t think sex is all that important, probably because they’ve yet to experience it in all its… uhh, glory.

If the women are lucky, that is. One housewife in her 30s told me that of all her girlfriends, only one testified that she had ever ?��felt anything?�? during sex. Among her circle of friends the wives just don?��t get anything out of sex and even fear it because it?��s either painful or a chore.

Yup, this is the impression I get from most Korean (or Asian) women from my personal experience which leads me to believe that poll is onto something. I never truely thought it was so, but…jeez.

Some men go to prostitutes. After a few years of this the men just stop having sex with their wives all together unless they want to bring another baby into the world

It sounds pretty consistent with my experiences too.

I once had a small group of high school girls and the discussion topic was love and marriage, with the specifc exercise asking students to rate in order the worst characteristics in a potential partner. What was supriing to me was that over half of the students rated a lack of ambition above cheating as worse characteristics, thsi was in high school when they should still have some romantacised notion about love and marriage.

all my other experiences are pretty much the same as what other people have already posted, but they make me think that the survey isn’t too far off.
