So, I've trawlled the forums and found most of my answers so I guess I'm just sharing this for everyone to add their 2cents.

I'm male, 45 married my high school sweetheart
Been married 20+ years she's still a virgin

Yep never had sex
She has vaginausms never wanted to face treatment and I never forced myself on her.. We've been together since we were 17

I feel like an absolute fool.

I last had sex when I was 15.. I cannot take anymore.

Wow

I'm not going to laugh at you, that would just be nasty for anyone to do.

But what you are going to do about it?
Whoa. I don't know how you lasted 20 years. That's insanely long.

What is in your mind to do now?

I had to look this one up. What is vaginismus? - Vaginismus.com

It said this on the website. Vaginismus is highly treatable and a full recovery from vaginismus is the normal outcome of treatment.

What is her reasoning in not getting treatment? Embarassment?

Add: This may seem weird but it seems the treatment is gradual "stretching" by the use of graduating sizes of dildos basically. If I am not mistaken that's the same thing that a person who has undergone sexual reassignment surgery does to be able to accommodate intercourse.
All I can do is wish you luck with it. Wait maybe you should try and tell her how you really feel. That it is not just about the sex. It is more about you expressing your love. JMO MC or IC might help with this issue.
Ok after reading more it isn't stretching with the little dildos you are using them for practice. You basically start with the smallest and do kegal like exercises and then build up to the larger ones.

Learn something new all the time.
My sex life consists of a BJ every 6 weeks, I finish myself and sperm is poison that should never go near any orraface.

Lately ever that has gone, it's now what I refer to as a WWT (wank with teeth.

I love eating her out but she's not a huge fan
I do not believe it.
You don't have too, but it's the absolute truth

The two of you never wanted children?
Um, from nil penetration to children is a very long way..
She's never wanted kids and I guess I never had the choice

Yea, we get that it's very unlikely to happen without penetration... the point Landon was making was asking if you ever discussed wanting children before you attempted having sex.

Ok, so she never wanted kids... but did YOU ever want any? Gotta say, she found the best way to avoid having kids...choosing to not try to fix something that is fixable. :(

Hello Mr. Horse,

I want to commend you on your bravery and respect for coming here to share this with us. I can somehow relate to you on an experience level, but I am a woman, and I was a virgin when I first met/slept with my husband. I was 23. Now, as a woman, being a 23 year-old virgin is both a badge of honor and the scarlet letter of shame. I was VERY EMBARRASSED to tell my husband that I was a virgin. H*!! I was 23 years old!!! I should have had at least 1 experience! Right? :scratchhead: After I had my initiation into sex, I never wanted it to happen again!!! IT HURT LIKE A [email protected]#$#@! I couldn't believe that someone who professes to love me to make me do that again!! I am now 46, and I love sex almost as much as he does! Believe me that really is saying something if you knew he was a former military man who just got of of an island or duty from over 2 years without sex. He was 25 then.
I want to tell you that you can't imagine how painful sex can be for an average woman, not to mention a woman with vaginismus. When I lost mine, and for a couple of years after, it felt like I just put my WRIST through MY EAR CANAL and FLOSSED with it for 20 MINUTES!!!!!:( NOT COMFORTABLE AT ALL!!!!! :mad:
I did NOT have vaginismus! I think you are an exceptional man with soooo much love in his heart to put yourself through this!!!!! You are a GOOD MAN!!:smthumbup:
Now, you NEED to get your wife to a professional sex Dr. First, start with an Obstetrician/ Gynecologist. After that you should ask for a specialist in this area. Women were biologically designed to have children ( a basketball pass through her legs!) Yeah, tacky but if you take measurements, the pelvic structure of a woman has an opening about 4-5 times bigger than a man's. Also, if a baby's head can pass through that opening, well, I'm sure you won't cripple her.
I'm not saying vaginismus is not a problematic condition, but she is not the first one to have it and she can also be treated for it as have many other women have. Remember, I am a woman too, so I have an understanding of what is happening, but REALLY 20 YEARS IS MORE THAN LONG ENOUGH to TREAT THIS PROBLEM!!!!!!!:confused:

SEEK MEDICAL HELP!!!!!

Good luck to you both!

Thanks you made my situation pale in comparison.

Sorry for you man.

She absolutely needs to start treatment so you can consummate your "marriage".
Annulment?
maybe your user name is why she's afraid to have sex.

Of course you had a choice. And at some point, you have to take responsibility for being in your situation. It's your decision to stay in a sexless marriage for 20 years. Nobody forced you to. Nobody lied to you or mislead you that you were having sex.

And most importantly, it's not going to change in the future until YOU make it change. I'm not saying you should pack up this weekend, but I'm saying that you need to decide what your boundaries are, and then work on enforcing them. A good starting point may be the two of you attending sex therapy together, and you seeing her making significant effort to change, even if it doesn't mean changing overnight.

Well heres the kicker, one of the things that sent me off looking for answers and support is this.

She was contacted by her dr when she turned 45 to get a mammogram done, I suggested she get a smear test at the same time..
Her answer was that she didn't need to, she'd spoken with her Dr 15 years ago about everything and there is a note in her file saying not to contact her about smear tests..

So a shame that I thought was ours alone isnt, it's also pinned to a file! And far from addressing the issue she has sidestepped it completely, with a medical professional...
