Misunderstanding the Sexual Response Cycle

Many husbands hesitate to initiate sex because they believe their wives need to be fully aroused or enthusiastic before they can proceed. This stems from a misunderstanding of the sexual response cycle, where they assume that if their wives aren't already excited, they're not interested in sex. This belief can lead to a lack of initiation and a reliance on the wife to always initiate. Additionally, some husbands may fear rejection or pressure their wives by expecting them to perform and deliver a pleasurable experience. It's important for husbands to understand that desire and arousal can vary among individuals, and it's crucial to communicate and create a safe space for both partners to express their needs and desires.
