karen: I would no more talk with either of the priests in our church about the lack of sex in our M than I would the next door neighbor.
SirPrize: It sounds like both of those are extremely unlikely scenarios? Why? What is the shame in wanting sex from your spouse? Why so hard to talk about it?
Pardon me for jumping in, karen, but SirPrize, you got it wrong... it's not shame, it's a complete lack of respect for the advice she's likely to get from the priest at the church. I don't get one single molecule of shame from karen over wanting sex with her husband-- and she HAS talked about it endlessly... it's not that it's hard to talk about-- it's that it seems useless. (Sorry, karen, I know you can speak for yourself. I guess someone coming upon your thread who has no knowledge of your extensive history MIGHT get the wrong idea.)
