Quote: I wonder how many LD partners were raised without same-sex parent on the premises?
I'm more inclined to wonder how many truly LD people have ever experienced a really fulfilling sexual experience. That seems to be more apparant to me. True many of them have been raised dysfunctionally, but so have many HD people.
The pattern I've noticed IMHO, is one of control. The LD partner wants the control, perhaps in an effort not be controlled by the HD person...I don't know. But the control issue becomes a battle of wills...with sex as the weapon. HD people want more of it and wonder why the LD person can't just "do it"....LD people cannot understand why the HD person "needs it". I've also noticed that many of the people on this board (myself included) have mentioned that their spouses are very inhibited in many ways.
These are merely rantings and observations here...so bear with me on this.

Lillie...I've just got to ask this...are you a statistician or something like that? I've noticed you tend to look for trends quite a bit. Not a criticism mind you, just an observation from an overly tired, quite pooped out, fairly run-ragged mother of a 16-mo old little boy LOL.
