That she was seeking sex as a way to validate herself.

I see! So the journal spells out her motives. In her 20s when her self-esteem was low, she slept with men primarily to feel wanted, as opposed tp experimentation, physical pleasure, or for a deeper connection. You wonder if that’s happening after 27 years, because as her respect for you fell low, sleeping with you wouldn’t boost her self-esteem so much anymore?
