[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sexually attracted to my spouse, but we still have sex.  I am not sure what you mean by sexually attracted though - do I look at her and think "I am sexually turned on and I need that right now?"  No.  We have been married a while, she isn't sexually adventurous, sex can get boring.  But sex is the glue of a marriage, so you find ways to keep that glue strong.  And sex still feels good, releases bonding chemicals and brings us closer together. [/quote]

Took 14 pages to finally get a husband to answer this question.  [/quote]

Because men find 8 out of 10 women sexually attractive.  But lots of men feel the same way as women do towards their husbands:  I find her attractive in the conventional sense but I have no deep desire to sleep with her specifically.  [b]Difference is men don't need the emotional connection to want to have sex.[/b]  Assuming the wife isn't gross, men are still thrilled to have sex.[/quote]

In general, this is true.  But this overlooks the [b]emotional connection[u] I[/u] get from having sex with [u]my[/u] wife[/b].

This is the problem with anyone, man or woman, speaking for their entire gender instead of limiting it to their own direct experience.  I'm a man but I don't presume to speak for every man, just myself.    [/quote]
