You know, it could be that her religious values are conflicting with what she thinks you want from her... especially if she views sex in a biblical sense.

I know a LOT of women for whom this is a MAJOR conflict... and they view their H's as being slaves to their sexaul impulses... (myself included, at one time). It IS sexual immaturity, but in some sense, you need to give these women some leeway because that is how they were raised... this is a part of their FIBER.

It's part of the whole "Whore/Madonna" complex that I think fcks up a lot of women.

"Okay... so... I'm supposed to be pure and chaste in thought and deed until I get married," (thereby never learning about your own sexuality, much less getting comfortable thinking about it, or even exploring their own bodies, without a flippin' boat load of guilt)

"Yet... when I get married... I'm supposed to be Madonna outside of the bedroom, but the Whore of Babalon in the bedromm."

Many women from this type of background are raised to believe that sex is for procreation, not recreation, purposes. Course, they are also raised to believe that they should never deny their husbands, which they don't, or try not to, but that whole "I'm now supposed to enjoy this, relish this..." become, what they considered in their minds, to be a whore....

It just DOESN't JIVE. It doesn't feel right, look right, taste right.... because it is FOREIGN to them, it goes against all the things they've been taught, ALL of their lives... and then their H's get perplexed why they might be resisting a tad bit... ??????

Ya get where I am going with this? Does any of this sound familiar?
