[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting to see that women seem to be able to tolerate sexless marriages.  Not that they are happy about it, but if there is love they seem to be able to live with it.  Men, I can't see this being sustainable.  Men's love language is sexual touch, and you can't have love without the sex.[/quote]

Eh.  I’m a woman who’s primary language is sensual touch. I think it’s more most men secretly think of themselves as emperors who deserve to have their needs met, and women tend to grasp the entire picture beyond their genitals. I’m not saying that’s ok. We’re conditioned to accept. It’s fuct. [/quote]

Interesting perspective.  Or maybe men can compartmentalize?  After 7 months in a sexless marriage, I stepped out and it seemed to be the perfect solution until she caught feelings for me.  She was also in a sexless marriage but for 4 years.  I couldn't believe someone could hold out that long.  Hers was an exit affair anyway, they are separated now.[/quote]

Yes.  That’s typical.  Men compartmentalize and can tell the women whatever they want to hear to keep it going.  The women, for the most part, get attached and are looking for an exit affair.[/quote]
