LL,

Ever consider couple's sexuality counseling? Just a thought? My Dad (an anglo-saxon) doesn't have a clue on how to be affectionate or intimate. Luckily, my Mom (French and Italian) was always very warm and affectionate. I like to think I inherited this from Mom. Anyways, my STBX was rarely in the same place as me affectionately or intimately. She was too concerned about crumbs on the floor or a pillow being out of place.

I guess my point is, some people just don't know how to show affection, or how to get the intimacy thing going in an enjoyable way. They need to be taught. Then they need to practice !

Again...just a thought?
