I would like for some married men to weigh in-you work full time, have kids, married more than a few years--would you rather have sex or conversation with your wife?[/quote]

Married man here - mid 40s, 3 kids (teens/pre-teens).  I can't see this as an either/or scenario - it's a false choice. I am in a deeply committed and loving marriage and I enjoy my DW's company (i.e., conversation).  At the same time though, I would like to have a lot more of sex with DW than we are currently having.

Here's the ugly truth that seems to get lost in all these arguments.  As much as conversation (i.e., the 'emotional connection') is more likely needed by women, it's difficult (not impossible) for most men to be able to connect w/o intimacy.  Now some women may not like to hear that and will undoubtedly jump on this statement, but there are ugly truths that can be applied to both genders - doesn't make things right or easier, but each one has to find a way to meet in the middle, in a manner of speaking.[/quote]
