Don't be silly Poque. Honestly I am confused by everyones defensiveness and need to insult one another rather than carry on an honest dialogue.
I identified with this post by Prudie because I have "been there, done that, got the scars".
I have been with the same man for an eternity. Our sex life has run the gammit from one end of the spectrum to the other. When I hear things like, sexual incompatibility, I hear "I am not getting what I want, so that person must be wrong for me." When in truth communication between the partners has totally faltered. The relationship needs work, and Prudie pointed that out nicely by recommending a book on talking about sex with each other.
Problems can be easily solved when each partner is willing to look beyond their own self interest, and find out what the other partner needs/wants. One does not maintain a relationship with anyone by focusing entirely on themselves. This was my point.
Trust me on this, when my partner was totally self serving, he thought life was great cause he was getting everything he wanted. I thought our sex life sucked big time and lost interest completely. I hear men complain they are not getting enough with their wives, so they fill in the gap with porn, and masturbation. By the time the do get in the sack with their wives, they have nothing to bring but expectations, and those expectations are so out of line with reality, no wife could live up to them.
Men would do a great service to themselves if they would consider the possibility that there is more to sex than the outcome. They want women to "understand them" and accept them just as they were the day they discovered sex at their own hand waking up with an errection one morning at the ripe old age of 12.
Yet they seem to be unwilling to consider that women do not function, think, or behave the same way, where is the mutual "acceptance" here? Where is the desire to create a great scenario for both partners rather than just making sure we get ours and to heck with anyone else?
