Refresh my memory if you don't mind....how old are you? Were you an active adult male during the feminist movement...or a child? I just wonder because you appear to have a chip on your shoulder about it, correct me if I'm wrong on that....it's certainly easy enough to get the wrong impression. I'm not name-calling or anything on this...I've just known some men who were adults during that period of time, who truly do have a chip and who do tend to use that as oh....a crutch for lack of a better word, for the reasons women find themselves in the predicaments they do.
I think most HDW's would agree with you that there are FOO issues, or a plethora of other issues that contribute to a man being LD....I think that's pretty much a given. It's not generally a natural state for a man to not want sex, it's simply part of the mans hunter/gatherer instinct to ensure survival of the species. So obviously there are contributing factors/issues to one being LD....as you said.
The problem with what you say on this ("is is a server wound to the male ego. I believe the source of all these types of problems is in the FOO. And until this FOO can be identified, exorcised and healed, the man will continue to be dragged down by it. If the wife continues to put emphasis on her discontent, her need for more quality time, his shortcomings, she is just exacerbating and perpetuating this cycle of depression in the man.")...is that it puts the HDW in a catch-22.
This is exactly the scenario that HP and I often find ourselves in....same as many HDH's out there with their LDW's. If we sit back and don't speak up....nothing happens at all, nothing changes....really. But what I read in what you are saying here....is that if we do speak up, we make the problem worse. I'm not pickin on ya here....just showing you that this is a catch-22. If what Dr. Laura described would work on our men I'd be wholeheartedly on board with what you are saying....it just simply doesn't fit for them. Lord do I wish it did!
