Don't fall into the trap of thinking that just because people drift away from this board they must have been successful. Tim47 for instance was a prolific and valuable contributor here and suddenly left the board. I have been in touch with him privately since (we share the same hobby) and he was quite depressed with job worries and was giving the R stuff a rest. I'm not convinced that AtlDave was sorted either. As to me, apart from the ocasional high point, all I am/was getting is once a week mercy sex which is not really "Success". I completely agree with GEL when she says that the important thing is Emotional Connection. In my mind's eye what I am really striving for is EC and sexual frequency is of secondary importance. Take Hopeypot's case for instance. She is getting more sex than anyone (3 times a week at the last count I think) but she is still unhappy because the EC is not there. The despair that we all feel deep down is that the EC will never come and we will go through our whole lives never knowing what it is like to live in a state of emotionally connected love.
