"If we always assume our mates will stay with us no matter what, we have nothing to really MOTIVATE us anymore in the R. Passion keeps us engaged in the R." More very true words from LFL
"The line was set and therefore you felt COMFORTABLE with each other to really open up, share, form EC, etc." Well, perhaps I overstated how comfortable we really were with our decision to not make it physical. There were several times when I know in my mind I was inches away from giving in. She admitted on several occasions that she felt the same way. I'd like to think that we didn't give in because we were both "strong" (in that regard anyway), but it may have been just dumb luck that we both weren't on the edge at the same time.
"It was intense R, some people would say nothing more than a friendship since you never crossed the line but I think we know that is bs." It is BS. It was more than a friendship, it was a form of unfaithfulness to my wife.
"The sex is just the icing on the cake." I guess I've been eating angel food my whole life.
"It's everything else that goes along with the sex that I and so many other people crave." I haven't had much luck with the other stuff either.
"Recollect me darlin, raise me to your lips, two undernourished egos, four rotating hips"
