There is something interesting I have seen in myself, and old snarky boy made mention of it in an article that Lillie pointed out to me.
When MrsNOP and I are having a 'good' heart to heart, even if it is a difficult one, but one where we are connecting, Mr Wood shows up. Evidently, this is something of a 'proof' that emotional intimacy and sexuality are directly related. If that is indeed true, then the social stigma of treating sex as anything less than a serious emotional need has to be taken to task.
Obviously, spouses need to be the first to recognize the legitimacy of the need.
The effect is likely already heavily documented, but it is fairly new to me.

I will ferret out an affair at any opportunity.
-An affair is the embodiment of entitlement, fueled by resentment and lack of respect. -An infidel will remain unreachable so long as their sense of entitlement exceeds their ability to reason.
