From the time we’re in pigtails, we’re taught that guys always want it. So when we’re in the mood, we’re shocked if he begs off. Read on for the top 10 reasons men go soft. Plus, take the men’s libido quiz…

Guys will shag anything that moves, looks their way and has a pulse. Right? So when we’re in the mood to play head cheerleader to his quarterback, we’re stunned if he comes up with some lame excuse like he has a “headache.”

First, we blame ourselves. We’re too fat. Our boobs are too small.

But here’s a shocker: Men’s issues in bed usually have nothing to do with your cup size. In fact, most sack-time snafus have little to do with you. Here are 10 reasons why:

1. He’s not the man of steel he used to be.
It’s a natural part of aging, but guys who don’t snap to attention the way they did in their 20s may worry about their ability to snap at all – particularly if they’re caught off guard with, say, an invitation for naked Twister.

“For guys approaching their 40s and 50s, erections aren’t automatic,” says Dennis Sugrue, Ph.D., clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School.

First, he has to be thinking about sex. If he hasn’t, and a woman says, “Wanna?” she may get turned down. “For a lot of guys it’s like ‘Hmmm. Gee, that sounds good.’ But they’re thinking, ‘Are things going to work right now?’” Sugrue says.

2. His expectations are unrealistic.
Blame it on Viagra and its cousins. Men experiencing performance issues instinctively reach for prescription rebar, believing that erection medications will shore things up. But it doesn’t always work that way.
