K,
Toss that book in the trash!

What the heck...that is the whole *point* of having sex, isn't it? (well not always but you all get what I mean..)

I think it's ludicrous to take a fairly simple and straightforward act, such as ML, and try to twist it to be about deprivation. And then to spin it as something that's good for the R is even more lunacy.

It was created with a dual purpose: to reproduce obviously, and to bring couples closer. To tinker with the formula and avoid orgasm is pointless!

I'll bet I could become brothers-in-arms, so to speak, with my H if we both starting avoiding food, too, but what pleasure we'd be missing out on in the process!

I can't help but retort "there's gotta be a better way" when I read about stuff like this. I'd rather get close to him and feel gooooooood in the process than get close to him and be sexually frustrated.

Oh well, whatever blows their dresses up.
