35 Brutally Honest Reasons Men Say No to Sex
It may be hard to believe, but men say no to sex sometimes, too. Oh yes, sometimes even the most promiscuous loverboy pulls the old "I have a headache" excuse and it's really code for something darker or potentially hurtful or even shocking. Even more shocking than some of the responses I got on "35 Brutally Honest Reasons Women Say No to Sex."
Because I featured the women's real excuses, I felt it fair to let our masculine counterparts spill their secrets. I polled many men, some were afraid to share, others ... well, they showed no mercy.

I'm just not that into you.
You just had our baby and I need time to sort out my emotions.
You just lay there when we have sex and that's not enough for me.
You said no to me last night so I'm saying no to you tonight.
