This is not the Catholic viewpoint at all.




Oh, I was raised Catholic. I know all about the Catholic viewpoint, and it's a good part of the reason I'm no longer Catholic. And my wife definitely isn't Catholic either.

Try to take your focus off the sex, focus on intimate communication, especially the listening. Grow your closeness that way, and the sex will likely follow.




That's exactly what all the books say. Been there, done that. For 12 years. And (at least as far as sex goes) have nothing to show for it. Next suggestion, please. That one's had far more than an adequate trial and has shown itself to be nothing but an utter failure and a bald-faced lie.
