One other point: It isn't necessary to cook up a three-course meal when a quick snack is all that is necessary. If one spouse wants a quickie, let her have it. Or vice-versa.
Well, of course, if both of you don't agree to sex then it is rape.
I know that I already responded to this but while I was in the shower I was thinking how glad I am that my husband and I don't have a 72 hour rule. After I gave birth to my last child, I went through an odd few months were I felt as if I was touched out. All day long, it seemed like I was nursing or caring for children and I was too exhausted to want sex. The situation corrected itself once I stopped nursing but my husband never complained. Later, when he started school while working full time, sex became sporadic. I didn't complain either. Both times, our sex live eventually returned to normal. I think that we both would have felt resentful and used if we had a rule that we had to have sex. If one person doesn't want sex, then we don't have sex. As far as him giving me a quickie, I really don't want obligatory or pity sex from my husband. If I need release that badly I can take care of myself.
Randy, I read somewhere that Catholics believe masturbation is a sin. Is that true?
