or do such men find that completely open, connected, explorative, passionate, satisfying, mature sex leaves them requiring far less frequency?
Cyrena, I have to admit you got under my skin with this comment -- it reminded me of what my wife said sometimes! Except she would take it to logical absurdity by ALWAYS having a "reason" like this for NOT having sex at any moment it was suggested, week after week, month after month!
So I got curious and tried to find your old posts to see what you're all about and why you would even propose such a thing -- that real love might result in far less frequency. I found a few old posts in which you described your husband and the OW, and how your husband was totally in the fog. Wow, you've been through a lot of stuff.
