I probably shouldn't be posting in this thread, because I have never been married, and never understood women. Have been on plenty of dates, had a couple of long term relationships, and many people who wanted more, but I didn't. So having said this, I've been the one on both sides of the sexual needs requirement. Some didn't want as much sex as I required, and others needed more than I was good with having. Both ways were bad, and are not going to work out long term. A couple needs to be somewhat compatible with their sexual needs. Without trying, I met a sweet young lady while skiing the other day. She was in town with a group of friends who do ski, and they basically abandoned her. So I stopped and gave her some tips, and skied easy runs with her for a few hours. Long story short, she has been over to my place 3 nights in a row, and yes we had fun a few times each evening. While she is barely more than half my age, we seem sexually compatible, which makes it comfortable for us. The reality is that she goes home on Sunday and we might never see each other again. So we are just enjoying each other's company while she is in town. It was her that brought it up yesterday, that we seem to click well when it comes to sex, so it just feels good. Neither of us is frustrated because we feel pressured to give more than we want, or starving for more. Refreshing how openly we could discuss it. My thoughts are that most long term relationships get to where both parties just take the other for granted, and calmly discussing their sexual needs just stops. Then both get frustrated and that leads to more problems with the sexual part of their relationship. So it keeps going on with the snowball effect, until they finally split up. Try and keep communication open, but light hearted, and never yell.
