One of my younger sisters got out of her abusive marriage about a year ago and is now divorced (Yeah!), but

Wow. Never? Nah, I don't think it's a control game of his. Maybe he might be gay? I know some abusive men withold affection and sex to control and punish, but the fact that they never had sex leads me to believe it's something else. When she asks him about it what is his reason? I think there is some underlying issue, it's beyond a control game. Is he addicted to porn? I just get the feeling there's more to it than abuse or control.

He's 32-years-old, and according to him, he's never had sex. I actually believe it.

Was he sexually abused? I've heard of people being permanately scarred from that type of abuse when they were younger, and it had the same sort of affect on them, to where they thought sex was disgusting and degrading.

Just a thought....
