But the only reason that a normal healthy woman would no longer have interest in sex is because her husband is not meeting HER needs. What you seem to be proposing is a one-way street, where she's a prostitute to his wants regardless of whether or not he's meeting hers.

I'm not sure what planet you live on, but women initiate 69% of divorces - largely because repeatedly talking to their husbands and what they need to feel close, supported, and like a real partner has been dismissed time and again and they've given up on it. "She will propose a deal and he will accept it" is a phrase that would make any married woman guffaw with laughter.

I'm not suggesting any man just accept a sexless marriage. I'm suggesting that, rather than expressing entitlement to sex, they get to the bottom of what is actually going on in the marriage that is causing her to lose libido. It could be illness or hormones, but most of the time it's a combination of boredom with perfunctory, routine sex, and the desexualization that comes with feeling like a house elf rather than a sensual woman. She may not even realize that's what is going on for her, but that's why the couple needs to talk, hopefully with a skilled therapist, and find out what's actually taking place.

Maybe Her Low Libido is a Sign of Boredom

Despite a social desire for the comfort and stability of a relationship, long-term commitment can be very hard on heterosexual women’s libido.

Study after study from around the world has shown that when a woman moves in with a man, it’s quite common that her interest in sex will decrease within the first year or so

.because her partner is overly familiar

.because things have gotten too rote and routine

.and because the domestic roles that women tend to take on typically have the effect of desexualizing them.

Love thrives on the intimacy of being entirely known and accepted by your partner, but the erotic is stoked by mystery and uncertainty. It thrives on the lack of predictability as well as the feeling of being truly desired. Perel quotes one of her female patients as saying, “I want to be appreciated as a woman. Not as a mother, not as a wife, not as a companion.”
