I'm just following along, and couldn't help wondering--ssmguy, given that you've been in a sex-starved marriage forever, how is it that you KNOW how much sex you'd be asking for in a marriage, or that your desire would remain the same if it was being satisfied by your wife? Aren't these in some ways fantasy assumptions?
Also, you married a LD-in-these-circumstances woman, you are determined to stay in this sexless marriage, which makes me wonder: is there a part of you which absolutely needs to be with a LD woman?
