MPT - I can't believe you're picking on me after I called you a fox! Just for the sake of argument, I never said that sex means feeling validated, important, loved, respected, etc. Corri actually said those things in trying to help me understand that good communication helps my wife to feel closer to me in the same way that a good sexual relationship helps me to feel closer to her. I actually do understand what she was trying to say, and I realize that she wasn't implying that feeling validated, important, loved, and respected are actually part of the definition of communication. They are more the results that my wife gets from good communication, or basically from knowing that I understand her. Despite my tendency to be argumentative, I do get the point.
