I would say to that I crave the emotional connection with my wife. But for me, emotional connection is almost completely physical in nature. I would LOVE to talk about anything and everything, AFTER having sex, while holding my naked wife in my arms. My wife on the other hand, gets up after sex to go to the bathroom, and then when she gets back, is in her eskimo gear and gets into bed and goes right to sleep. She has never been an afterglow person.
She seems to NOT to enjoy the smell, the sweat, and all the other stuff of sex, and wants to get her body cleaned up right away, claims it can cause yeast infections (which she gets a lot).
