Do you fancy your other half?

    What's the fascination with the sex lives of long term couples? I recently celebrated 22 years with my other half, I still fancy the hole off him. We don't have sex on the same scale as we did when we first got together, age and responsibility will do that, but I value quality over quantity these days.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,639 ✭✭✭andekwarhola


    Yeah, I actually do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    Damn right I do....he looks like Ricky Norwood aka Arthur Fatboy Chubb from Eastenders. Has the most amazing arms and an arse on him that would make straight guys swoon.

    Then we are only together about 6 weeks so still in the loved up mode.

    I f--kin do.

    I really fancy my husband, and he fancies me. He is very sexy! I think the day that stops will be a sad day where we decide to go our separate ways. Our parents are similar in that they are still very 'into' each other. After 44 years of marriage, my da still goes on about how gorgeous he thinks my ma is.

    That's lovely!!

    I've been with my husband since I was 17 and I still think he's a ride! In fact I think he's gotten better with age. (We're only 31/32 so not that old)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    I fancy the pants off him. He has a gorgeous sexy smile and I'm so lucky to have someone as lovely as him fancy me back


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,039 ✭✭✭✭retro:electro


    Yeah, I actually do.

    You seem shocked

    What are the chances.

    I'm awful jealous of you, I think I'd fancy your oh too! Love fatboy!

    I'm single so can't contribute to the thread.

    Some pictures on here would be appreciated. For clarifying some of the posts, you understand!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    I think because my folks still blatantly fancy the arses off each other I have an inbuilt stubbornness to accept nothing less than that in relationships.

    Unfortunately, I'm about as fanciable as a dose of the trots so it's not really working out too well for me.

    You are hands down one of the most beautiful women I've ever met.

    Please inform the men folk. I've tried to, but they don't believe me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,796 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    Yep.
    I'm with Mrs.Osis 20+ years and fancy the arse off her.
    More importantly we have a right laugh together.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,126 ✭✭✭misstearheus


    Wish I went out as much as the feicing Bins. :/ Might find an O.H. then to fancy. :(


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    The steady increase in fancying him is commensurate with the steadily increasing love for him. I fancy him a whole lot. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭Autonomous Cowherd


    I fancy him a ridiculous amount...my first boyfriend and 30 years later he is my one true friend.

    Wow, that's kind of cute and disturbing all at the same time.

    Like, are you saying if the physical attraction goes one way or the other then one of you is on their bike?

    I work a lot and due to the nature of my work I tend to look (wear clothes) a bit scruffy.
    And then the bit of time I get off I tend to look even more scruffy gardening and cleaning.

    So if I was to go on what you said above (every relationship is different I know) then I could be in trouble here :D

    Being serious, we are together since we were 21 and we're 37 now and I never give much thought to the "how much do you fancy her" question, she's my best friend and we're a team and we have two lovely kids and I suppose I never really stop and think how much do I fancy you.
    I do but with all the daily stuff that you have to do, it's a concept that I don't sit down and think about.
    But she can rest assured that if I ever didn't (fancy her) then it wouldn't affect my love of her.

    My husband is extremely scruffy most of the time, being an outdoors worker and gardener too on times off like you, how can you think scruffy is not super sexy, it is!

    My wife is super sexy, I hope that I am that to her, I never thought I'd ever marry a ginger, I now think ginger women are super sexy, she's a fcuking ride.

    I do. He's very sexy but not just in looks. He is a very confident and self-assured man. I like that.

    My husband is literally from just down the boreen from where I am from! Half a mile door to door. We didn't get together til we were 22/23. We socialised in the same places (small country pubs) and went to college to the same city. I didn't realise how sexy he was/is til I figured out he was chatting me up in is own, unique way! 13 years later, still fancy the pants off him! He is getting better with age too!

    It was handy in a way, only one set of neighbours to invite to the wedding! We knew each others friends and family, not very well mind.

    Yep, gingers are the best, just the fiery temper i'd like her to chill out on, I mean like shít that doesn't matter gets her down and she freaks out. Why???

    17 years with her and I think shes getting more sexier with age, she's been complementing me on the grey through my hair, she finds it weirdly sexy. :pac:

    The difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship is sex/ intimacy. Once you aren't attracted to each other anymore it reverts back to friendship. I have friends- what I want from my romantic relationship is attraction, intimacy and sex. If that stops, for either of us, there would be nothing keeping us committed to each other in a monogamous relationship. As another poster mentioned, it is not necessarily about looks. I imagine neither of us would turn heads for strangers walking down the street, sexiness comes from your attitude and how you hold yourself. And I clearly have that for my fella and he has it for me.

    I completely disagree but good luck to you!


  • Registered Users Posts: 952 ✭✭✭s4uv3


    He's the hottest man I know, has been since I first met him but I never thought I'd stand a chance. I dunno what he does be thinking, he's way out of my league.

    I don't understand how they are more honest than anyone else in the thread. Shanks admitted it was not something they specifically thought about (''Do you fancy your other half?'') but when he stopped to think about it, he realised that yes, he did - just like most of the other posters are saying.
    The question is not ''would you stop loving your other half if there was no sex?'' That's a completely different question, sort of inserted into the post. If your partner got sick or disabled and there was no sex anymore then people can answer that one; it's not the same question as the OP. For me I would still love him and stand by him, but just as I would feel grief for him for his loss of health or physical ability or life enjoyment, I'm pretty sure I would also (naturally, no?) grieve the loss of sex with him.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    Haven't seen him in almost four weeks, we'll be reunited on Friday. I'm honestly not sure whether I'll a) start bawling or b) come in my pants when I see him. Maybe both at the same time!

    But yeah, fancy the arse off him. We're together about three years but known each other far longer. Always had a thing for him (mutual as it turned out) but we were both always unavailable or living hours away from each other, never gave it much thought. Fancy him more now than ever, still look at him when we're out somewhere and he doesn't know I'm looking at him and have a perv, if he knew how much time I spend just staring at him he'd think I'm nuts. It's more than a physical attraction but he is gorgeous, I see him getting a lot of admiring looks- which he's just oblivious of.

    Can't wait til Friday.

    No she's put on a lot of weight in the last few years and now I visit prostitutes to compensate.
    What do you expect posters in Boardsland to say on this thread? I've said it here before, there's no such thing as a problematic relationship on boards unless you're posting anonymously ;)
    Personally I've lost interest in sex with a couple of previous girlfriends eventually. It led to other problems and would definitely have contributed to the eventual demise. It's not that I didn't find them attractive as such I just got bored with the sex and even started to look elsewhere if I'm being honest. I think spending so much time with one person makes me just get tired of them, so I'm not sure I'm cut out for relationships. If I ever end up with someone again I'd like to think it would be different though.

    Vanishingly unlikely, because there is no destiny. There is more than one "only one" for everyone.
