[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone explain to me why sex is so important??  Honestly I love my DH but I resent having to service his needs when I am tired.  I just honestly don't get why it is so important to him or if it is just a physical need that he has to take care of - kind of like when you get grumpy because you are hungry?  I'm not trying to be an ass, I would just appreciate hearing the point of view from a DH who is unhappy with the lack of frequent sex.  Thanks.[/quote]

I think there is a whole stew of emotional and physical needs it satisfies, the particulars of which seem to vary from person-to-person. It's not just having an orgasm. I'm one of the PPs that only has sex every 2 to 3 weeks. I masturbate almost daily. But, despite the consistent orgasms, having sex with my wife leaves me in an entirely better mental state. After finally having sex with my wife yesterday, I noticed myself interacting with my family and the world generally much more positively this morning. I don't know if it's different hormones released or what. But it's common for me to go from a more depressed state to a more optimistic state.

Aside from that - or probably tied in with that - I feel loved by my wife after sex in a way that I don't if she just says "I love you," or even if she is doing loving (but nonsexual) things for me. And that loving connected feeling dissipates when it's not renewed regularly. [/quote]
