Is it normal my husband can't look at me naked?

I don't want to sound vain but I am an older woman with a body like I had when I was 25. Better because I have bigger boobs. My measurements are 36 C-25-37, and I am tight- No flab, no cellulite. I have long slender arms and legs, and a firm butt. My face is wrinkle free, and also looks young. I am pretty. I am not delusional about this. Men hit on me all the time, Young men hit on me all the time, and friends say this is the case.

My husband looks away when I am naked (we have only been married 2 years). So I decided to test him. I came up to him topless and just started to talk to him. Instead of being turned on, He freaked out, averted his eyes, and left the room. My boobs are attractive- and not saggy! Large for my frame.

When I asked him about it, he said he looks away because he wants to picture what I looked like when I was young. He said he loves me and there is nothing to worry about. That he enjoys sex with me.

He also has a problem oggling young girls when we are out. Its as if he wants to get their attention (like young boys do with girls) by staring at them, so they will give him an invitation to approach them. He flirts and tries to talk with them all the time. The girls he is attracted to are very different than me, and all the same: short, stocky, long black hair.

I love him. That is the problem. But I am just getting older. I don't know if I can age with a man who doesn't appreciate my attractive body (as good as a 25 year old- better than a lot of 25 year olds), and who makes me feel unattractive. He seems like he not only wants to be with a younger woman, but also a short, stocky, long black haired woman. How can I have sex with a man who is not attracted to me? What can I do short of leaving him. HELP!!!

    He wants to picture you when you were young & you've been married two years? Have you aged that much in 2 years?

    Maybe you have too much stage presence, and he is not secure enough to handle your brazen erotic demands. So, he talks to giggly young girls to make himself feel less vulnerable.

    Try giving him lots of compliments for talking dirty to you. Tell him you really love the way he leers and oogles at you. Thank him for making you feel so deliciously dirty. All those complements will build up his confidence.

    I don't know what to tell you. He sounds like a lecherous, old bastard to me! Sorry, but I gotta be real. I bet he didn't hold up as well looks wise as you have. I could be wrong, but he sounds like a jerk and a voyeur. Does he look at a lot of pornography, because that bullshit is bad for the mind. You sound really attractive and like your in good shape.

    I'm older myself (44), could stand to lose some weight and get in better shape and I certainly wouldn't put up with that bullshit. Of course I'm single and it sounds like ya'll have been married a long time so I assume ya'll have a long shared history and built a full life together.

    If he's looking at pornography or going to strip bars he's probably addicted and needs to stop now. The media today is very youth obsessed and it presents an unrealistic view of the physical beauty of both men and women. The truth as you probably already know is that people don't stay young forever; hair turns gray or white and falls out, body's become saggy and skin gets wrinkled. From the way you've described yourself and the types of young women he gawks at it seems he's more obsessed with the concept of youth and the fleeting type of beauty that goes along with it than whether or not someone is in shape. I'm not gonna waste your time attempting to to make comparisons. Regardless of how you look I think your husband is behaving in a very immature, selfish, disrespectful and shallow manner!

    I'd be willing to surmise that your husband is afraid of growing old as well as insecure about his own body and how the aging process I'd affecting it. Additionally, he may be trying to feel and look young by association when he flirts with young women. In all honesty when I was a young coed I hated it when older men flirted with me and or hit on me especially if they were married. I've always thought and still do to a large degree that it's creepy and pathetic.

    There's no excuse for his behavior especially the gawking and flirting. Maybe a few sessions with a marriage and family therapist could be of some help? I wish you all the best in dealing with this issue.

    I think your the short, stocky, long black haired woman and you need reassurances that men find you attractive. there is a market for all people short,tall,slim,fat,ugly,attractive

    If you have the body of a twenty-something, I can't understand his problem. I'm sure you look fine as you say and can't understand why after two years of marriage, he would start to act this way. I doubt you're over 45 anyway and if you are and still have the body of a 25 year old, he is nuts. People age anyway and even if your body looks your age, he sounds rude. If he loves you, he shouldn't be making you feel this way.

    If you have the body of a 25 year old and he doesn't appreciate it, I'd say he is a pedophile since you said he like to oggle younger females. I let my girlfriend know she is beautiful everyday by telling her or showing her. Your husband needs therapy, training, or is with you for other reasons.

    You can try one thing, dress like teen girls or school girls. Act like naive teen girl who dont know much, and not like a pro porn star. perhaps he imagines you to behave that way. Be patient while he approaches you, do not hurry. It might work.

    Let him know that it's not acceptable. That you accept him for the way he is and that he needs to do the same for you. Then start undressing and tell him no matter what you looked like before, this is you now and TONS of guys would love to be with someone with a body like yours! He is supposed to make you feel like the sexiest woman alive.

    If you "get hit on all the time" flirt back, see if he gets jealous or anything. I'm glad you are so confident in your body. I'm surly not.

    "I love him. That is the problem."
    "How can I have sex with a man who is not attracted to me? What can I do short of leaving him."

    I think you have to ask yourself if you're attracted to him, as well...
    If you love him, but the two of your aren't sexually compatible, perhaps you could try an open relationship. It's obvious that he's interested in sex with other people, and if you can find somebody who will appreciate your body as well, then perhaps that'll be best for both of you.
    I'd be really careful if you decide to ask him about it, though... because I'm not sure if he's the kind of guy who would take it the wrong way.

    Many guys look, but go further than that memories and fantasies is what keeps it exciting for many. If he loves you, he will stay and yes look at others, but love you
    Sorry he ha made you feel this way, you don't deserve that
    Hope it all works out for you Good-luck with your choices
