[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men need sex to feel emotionally connected to their wives and women need emotional connection to want sex with their husbands.  We can argue until we’re blue in the face about whether one should meet the other’s needs when his or her own needs aren’t being met, but that’s the way it is.  Somebody has to go first.[/quote]

I think the better phrasing is "some people need sex to feel emotionally connected to their spouses" and "some people need emotion connection to want sex." There are lots of women who need sex for emotional connection. All the people who want to make this about women resisting the urges of their husbands who act "entitled" to sex are (a) not doing any favors for women who have sexual needs, and (b) are using some shield of pseudo-feminism to give a righteous tinge to their desire not to have sex.

The truth is, if you cannot meet your partner's emotional needs (whether it be through a good sexual relationship, good companionship, good conversation, moral support, etc.) then you cannot expect that the partner is going to bend over backwards to meet your needs. And yes, sexual intimacy is on par with any other kind of intimacy.[/quote]
