Hobbies for Men

After 9 years of marriage I've come to realize some of the major needs my husband has as a man. First of all he needs sex of course. The natural aggressive hormone testosterone seems to rise quite a bit if I hold out on him in this way. I try to always give him what he needs especially when it comes to the bedroom. He seems happier and much more able to deal with stress when he gets his jolly on, at least every day or every other day. For some reason he has always had a huge sexual appetite. Presently, I am nursing my 6 month old son, so my libido is low due to all the hormones induced by breastfeeding. Regardless of my lack of libido I try to still give it to him if he wants it, because I love him. I'm willing to put my own wants aside to please him and in return he has done the same thing for me in other ways. For instance he goes out of his way to help me with the kids without asking, and he always makes sure that we are taken care of. He does so many sweet things like massaging my back and neck without asking as I drift off to sleep. I have learned that marriage is give and take and when you give and give the other partner starts to really appreciate this and they find more ways to also give of themselves.

My husband also has some other major needs. He always has to have some type of hobby to keep his creative juices flowing. While I do agree that women need hobbies, it is essential for a man to have a hobby. I admire the fact that he has so many hobbies and he seems to alternate his hobbies depending on the season or just what he's into at the time. I've learned so much from his many hobbies and he has also learned a few things about some of my hobbies such as scrap booking, and excessive reading. I've seen him do everything from bow hunting, fixing motorcycles, reading, art, writing, camping and more. I will always encourage him to have some type of hobby because having a hobby helps him in so many ways. It helps him expand his skill level, reduce stress, and having a hobby is highly enjoyable.

Target Shooting

This hobby in particular is a great way for men to get out their natural aggression. Target shooting also sharpens skills such as hand eye coordination, and just the excitement of it gets your blood pumping. The main objective is to hit the bull's eye accurately and consistently. Target shooting ranges usually charge $10- $15 per hour, and gun rentals can cost $5 and up.

Camping and Fishing

Spending time in the great outdoors can be very freeing for a man. It takes them out of their usual stressful environment, and into a place of nature. Camping and fishing are great hobbies for a variety of reasons. Getting out of the city and back to nature is very calming. Relaxing for a weekend up in the mountains is a great way to reduce tension and forget about any drama going on in your life. Camping and fishing is also a great way to spend time with family and friends.

Bow Hunting

Bow hunting requires a great deal of patience mainly because it is more challenging than traditional hunting. Hunting down an animal with the use of a bow, rather than a rifle does make it more difficult because you need to have a closer range to win the prize. Getting closer without being discovered by the animal requires more work skill, and determination. The art of bow hunting can take years to master.
