If a women can not rebuild her desire, then she has absolutely no way of improving the problem of a SSM. LD women think that just doing the physical actions will actually improve the problem, and it will not. LD people can not "FAKE" desire. And without desire, it is IMPOSSIBLE to achieve "Complete Sexual Fulfillment". Dr. Smalley says that in his book. Smalley specifically says that the return of desire is a requirement in most marriages. Deida goes even further and says that the women must actually have MORE desire for the marriage to be successful. I guess this explains why 80% of all marriages fail.

Can I ask why you think it is OK for your father to go without desire for the rest of his life? Why do you think that is a reasonable request to make of another human being? Almost EVERYONE wants to be desired. And don't tell me she does it in other ways, because there is only ONE way to desire.
