[quote=Anonymous][quote]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]

What useless generalities.  I'm a DW.  My DH and I are middle aged, have been married 25+ years and haven't had PIV sex in about 4 years.  On a daily basis, my DH shows and tells me how much he loves me. DH has an underlying health condition that has resulted in ED.  Neither of us are happy about the ED but appreciate he is, otherwise, healthy.

It's one thing to say that sex can encourage and reinforce intimacy but to say that you can't have love without sex is just drivel.  Many couples experience health conditions that prevent PIV sex but that doesn't mean their love ends.  Marriages don't end because of lack of sex.  Marriages end because of a lack of intimacy, respect, consideration and communication. [/quote]
