Ask your wife why: Woman at this age the vagina usually dry. If not using lubrication can cause pain when having sex. You should ask your wife why she refuse. Is that because of the pain or other reason. Sometimes medication can also affecting the sex drive. If necessary you should ask her to see a doctor find out the real cause.
