@ Rhythm: Don't know if you're responding to me. If so, don't hold your breath, as I have you on ignore, and not summerqueen-style pseudo-ignore.

They've convinced themselves that there's nothing to see, they stop looking for spiritual things and restrict their outlook to natural world. Little by little the voice of God inside them dies, because their intellectual beliefs are at odds with their conscience. Finally, when the conscience dies, so does all that talk about being nice to each other and trying to get along.

That's strange, because my intellect isn't at odds with my conscience - (and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the ubiquitous "they")

Incapable of delivering!?! And how does demanding that your spouse meet all your desires show love and respect. If your sexual 'needs', which are really just 'wants', become a barrier between the two of you, then the right thing to do is forego your 'needs' and focus on shared common bonds.
And yes, Rythym, I believe that if you do not recognize God as the source of your conscience, you are heading toward a terrible fate.

Who said that it did? Nevertheless, it is one reason for dissatisfaction. What the "right thing" for a married couple to do with regards to their relationship is their own business Chad, not mine (and I'd say not yours either). If it's a barrier it's a barrier. Whether they can overcome it or not (and how) is similarly theirs to decide - it's not something you or I get to dictate to them......even if one of us just can't seem to help himself.
You can believe whatever you like about my conscience - but what that does to address the statement I made is unclear. My intellect and my conscience are co-habitating quite peacefully. In fact, the one would probably be pretty lonely, and lost, without the other.

I'm bored. It's raining, and I don't have much to do at work. All my activity plans are being saved up for this evening. Then we can go on our merry ways.

Only because most people don't understand how non-sexual BDSM also is.
David's not the only great man out there. What's key to keeping things together is that he understands how important it is to me and works around it or in it. I guess he cares about me that much - much like your wife must care about you. If I had an "otherwise great" partner who refused to discuss it or refused to acknowledge it or even shamed me for it, I'd leave him. Why should sex be so "unimportant" that it shouldn't affect a relationship? What makes all those other things so much more important? It's an incredibly intimate, soul-bearing (if you will) act. If something's not jiving that even communication can solve... Why not find someone you jive with more?
I think it's way easier to find friends who can share your hobbies than someone you can share all your intimacies with. Better you find someone compatible in that regard when it comes to marriage and sharing a bed.
hahahah "pseudo ignore". It keeps me from having to see your BS without consent - consent being something I'm pretty big on.

What if he was willing to acknowledge it and discuss it, but still not participate in it?
Quote:Why should sex be so "unimportant" that it shouldn't affect a relationship? What makes all those other things so much more important?
Sex is as important as those other things. If you left an otherwise good partner because of one idiosyncrasy in one of those other things, I'd likewise conclude that you're out of balance.
Sorry, but I think "Hey, you're a wonderful person and I love you, but I'm leaving you because you won't take it up the ass" would indicate a very selfish, imbalanced person.
I would like to think that if my wife somehow became physically incapable of having sex that I'd still be faithful and happy. Miss the sex, sure, but it's just one piece of a wonderful puzzle.

Technically, that is Judaic Law that pertains only to the Jews, which is why Christians do not follow those laws. Which also raises the question of why they still ignorantly refer to Leviticus when pointing out how wrong it is to be homosexual.
