Are there any women in the approximate age range 40-65 who want sex 5-10 times per week? Or are there any who would at least put up with a partner who wanted it that often? And I'm talking about imaginative, erotic, tantric sexual massage, energetic, fantasy-enchanced, loving, candlelight, etc., sex, not just cold mechanical frequency. And I'm talking about sustaining that kind of energy for years, not just through the honeymoon and a few weeks after.
I sometimes feel that if I were to leave my SSM and look for a compatible sexual partner, I'd have a hard time finding someone near my age who would have the same erotic energy.

Your original question -- especially the underlined part -- makes it sound as if you are trying to rationalize staying in your marriage. In other words, you are saying to yourself, "I could never find the female equivalent of me out there, so why go through the trauma of divorce in a fruitless quest to find it?" Is that right, or am I misinterpreting what you wrote?
